CALKINS "GUESSES"
ABOUT HIS BUSINESS
Head of 'Wrecked Newspaper
Syndicate Fails to Treat
• Hearing Seriously
Referee Finds That $70,000
Worth of Stock Has iW
Been Scheduled
Willard P. Calkin?, wearing 3. super
cilious smile and "guessing" at most of
Ins ani^Wfirs, until he was Tequested by
'counsel to treat the proceedings serU
ously, occupied the witness stand In the
bankruptcy proceedings of the Calkins
newspaper syndicate yesterday after
f-'n before Referee In Bankruptcy Mil
he hearing was commenced by an
uiry as to who were the stock own
ers and officers in the various publish
ing enterprises created the length and
•breadth of the state b>- Calkins. It
iias ascertained that 200,000 shares of
stock were owned by him and his rela
tives and that 500 shares actually be
longed to Calkins.
Calkins had a hasy notion that hi*
b-jsiness had a bead book keeper. He
«aid he bad paid but little attention to
tiie books, and, as near as he could
recollect, a Miss Henbner. whose given
naiae or initials he did not know, had
charge of the books. This position had
£>e«n giv#>n her because the other book
keeper married. "•\u25a0;."
CALKINS KEEPS GI'ESSI>G
'"Can you be a little more accurate in
your statements?" inquired AtHTrney
Osgood Putnam, who represented a
number of creditors.
This request went, apparently, un
heeded, as the witness continued in the
same "I guess *o" way that had char
acterized his examination from Xhe first.
The afternoon •wore away, until the
matter of borrowing $150,000 on one
note and $25,000 on another from the
Union'trnst company •was reached. The
Dnrt amount was borrowed to purchase
the Sacramento Record Union. With
the second* amount he purchased from
the paper $12,000 in outstanding .debts;
$3,000 was paid on machinery, leaving a
balance of $10,000 as yet unaccounted
for. Stock was given In various pub
lishing ventures to secure these loans.
•Whether any other security was given,
Ceiklns was unable to say. "As far as
J know," he continued, "I was borrow
ing the Cnion trust company's money." ;
BORROWED THROUGH ATTORNEY
In securing these loans. Calkins |
stated, thal he dealt with E. S. Heller,
"attorney for th« Union trust company.
He "guessed" Heller was the only man
he h&d seen. At first he was certain
. that he had not seen any of the bank
« officials except Heller. Then_Calkins
took a. second, guess. This time he
\u25a0 grueiared he had seen L W. Hell man Jr.
j first and that he had sent him to Heller.
i However, he was not oversure about
that. How It was that he had trans
' acted all his -business with the attorney
\u25a0 for the bank Instead of the officers of
. the institution Calkins 'could not say.
Then he had another flash of memory
:'&nd recalled, that he had some transac
tions with Charles J. Deeringr, cashier
of the trust company.
"I srness," said Calkins with a
BnicJccr.
"This is a serious matter," Inter
rupted Attorney Putnam, "try and
charge your mind \u25a0with its Importance."
"Who told you to go to the Union
triist company for this money?"' in- 1
quired Attorney Putnam.
"I "don't know," replied Calkins.
STOCK. MISSING FROM LIST
Considerable time was spent in trying
to refresh the witness' mind on this
point, but without avail. According to
Calkins, the trust company wanted
more securities than he offered, but he
"talked them out of it."
Referee Green discovered ihat_ 1,243 ;
shares of the Sacramento' Publishing l
company's stock had not been sched
uled. In securing the Union trust com
pany Calkins had given th* bank 1.251
shares of this stock, valued at $71,000.
What has become of $70,000 worth of
stock 'will be one of the. problems to be
taken up at 10 o'clock Thursday morn
jng next. During, the short time the
matter was under consideration Calkins
offered a number of guesses\to explain
the shortage.
Representatives of the " Martinez
'Standard, one of Calkins' papers, ap
peared before the referee to correct an
I. alleged mistake in the bankrupt sched-
Tile. The Standard people say that In
: stead of Calkins owning the paper he is
'indebted to the owners to the extent of
' $4,000.
Attorneys O. K. Cushing and I* H.
i Brownstone represented other creditors,
'but left the examination of Calkins to
Attorney Putnam.

Bill, head of the San Francisco branch,
that.it is not always wise to blindly
copy. "Sometimes," said v Jeffery,."an
original designer,^ studying mainly for
appearance, will \u25a0 neglect considerations
of efficiency. ThiSjtruth is exemplified
in'the; construction' of the* automobile
radiator, where to ma ke an appearance
of compactness" the, forward- corners of
the radiator were made of rounded form
and unthinking followers have copied
it. It the designer, wished the radiator
to have greater efficiency, with less re
gard for appearance, he would, instead
of cutting off corners, make the sides
and top of the radiator project beyond
its; fa,ce to form an air collector and
compelmore of the air it meets' to pass
between its fins and not escape around
the edges.. Some otherwise enthusias
tic motorists have criticised the, for

enough 'gumption in him to walk-up

race was closer to nature, and men and

digging is. frugal existence, from the

so many are afflicted.
-"In. the horse, the cow," the dog (when
let. alone and not turned? lnto. a x parler
pet),: and the wild animals, you see
no chronic debility, no^nerve exhaus
tion. ,It is because their stomachs are
in sound ' condition.' They are not shut
up all day with little exercise, and
they do not stuff themselves with food
"when their body has ; riot' had -enough
work to | it. The civilized races
have; been dolng c this- for.; years', the
human stomach; has : gradually; become
weaker,'- and look at tl\e result— most
of the people' are .-half .sick. We are
becoming' a.- nation -~of mollycoddles.'.' _
• Cooper's novel /theories -about - the
stomach, being. responsible" for/ most of
the.ills-of humanity :has- aroused wide
spread 'commenti lnSah'Franclsco. He
has -been; meeting -the people dally at
the "Owl .drug \ store in the Phelan
building.. Cooper has been. in the city,
long enough now for his claims to
have. been proved' true or untrue and
he seems to- be. making .good. State
ments obtained from Cooper's callers
Monday were' very, emphatic. - One of
these was made by Mrs. Florence. Rus
sell Jones, : who" lives- in Glen' avenue,
San- Francisco. '.She-saidr. '-' ,; '
, "According to ; my experience '[ this
man Cooper is "justified in his claims
that his medicine will, actually put
the stomach in good' condition. ' I^have
had chronic, stomach .trouble for years
and have been" a chronic dyspeptic
caused, physicians r said, . by catarrhal
trouble. .' "' : '' r "'?'
. "I have not* taken the. slightest en
joyment In living I have been so de
pressed by my condition.^ Neither phy
sicians. -nor medicine helped me, and
It:was;only by Ithe most" careful diet
that I was able to ; retain'; any "food
whatever. , In the most skeptical frame
of mind possible" I called to see Mr.
Cooper two- weeks ago. I. had;, very
little hope his n^edlclnes would; help
me, as ' I had given up .hope several
years . ago. 1 .-. obtained -some of the
medicine and . began its use. Today.-I
am. apparently as'well as ever. I ob
tained relief so rapidly that it is posl»
tlvely wonderful. I am In. good spirits,
eat heartily,;' sleep well and am better
in every way. • ,1 .am convinced"; that
the success -this- man is having' ln San
Francisco is richly- deserved." : •
