Mrs. David E. Duff Divorced
Dentist's Wife Alleging Cruelty Gets Decree in Reno
Alleging that her husband, Dr. David Edward Duff, dentist and clubman, Charles and Read streets, was a habitual user of morphine, and had treated her with great cruelty and threatened her life, Mrs. Dorothy R. Duff was yesterday granted a divorce at Reno, Nev., and the custody of her 4-year-old daughter, according to a dispatch from that city.
Dr. Duff borrowed $7,000 from Mrs. Duff when they were married to establish a home, it was said, giving a note which he later destroyed. She alleged that he had an income of more than $1,000 a month, but failed to support her.
Dr, Duff is a member of the Baltimore Country Club. Mrs. Duff said that when their home was burned down Dr. Duff took the insurance money and spent it.
Dorothy seems to have aged more slowly than most of us. In the 1900 Census she is reported to have been born in July of 1887. In the 1910 Census she is reported as being about 22 years old placing her birth year about 1888. In the 1920 Census she is reported as being 30 years old placing her birth year about 1890. Her death record says she was born in 1894.
For some reason Dorothy was listed as her husband's sister in the 1910 Census.

Baltimore Girl In Danger Zone
Miss Dorothy Roberts Saw Eruption Of Vesuvius. Was at Naples .....
Mrs. Rosamond Roberts, 503 Hamilton Terrace, has received a letter from her daughter, Miss Dorothy Roberts, now traveling in Italy, describing the recent eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Miss Roberts and a company of young ladies from Baltimore have been touring Europe since last October. According to the letter, which was written from Rome, they were at Naples on the day of the eruption.
In the party are Miss Mary Willis, daughter of Police Commissioner Willis; Miss Eda Buddeke, of Bryn Mawr, and Miss Elizabeth Atkluson, of Richmond, Va. The party are now in Spain, and will leave Gibraltar next Monday for New York. The letter follows:

Rome, April 9, 1900
My Dear Mother: I can see your surprise when you receive this letter from Rome, after getting one from Naples. To express it in a few words, we fled from the eruption of Vesuvius. My last letter told you the alarming condition of affairs in the vicinity of the volcano. The huge volumes of thick black smoke grew worse every moment, and hung over the city like a great pall, while the fall of ashes and black sand made everything awful to behold. Night before last we were awakened about 1 A. M. by a loud explosion, closely followed by another more terrifying that shook the hotel. Everything was quiet for a few moments, when rumblings like heavy thunder were heard at intervals until morning, when it became quiet. In the morning we attended church, where prayers were offered to the people of Casa, a small village near Pompeii.
We asked more in detail after the service, and learned that the town had been destroyed, but were assured that Naples was in no danger; and of course, we were much relieved.
Towards evening, when it grew dark, we looked out and saw, to our horror, that the places where the smoke had been thickest were like fire, as if the flames would burst forth every moment. We went to the roof of the hotel with the porter, but upon opening the door found the air so stifling with sulphur that we could not breathe. We were all very much alarmed, but upon being assured that the city was in no danger we returned, but could not sleep. Crashes like thunder were heard all the time, and right over the mountain terrific lightning flashes were seen every moment.
At 4 A. M. our chaperone told us to pack our trunks; that we must leave at once. Never while I live can I forget today. We were positively ill from fright. The employes of the hotel while trying to attend their duties were so terrified they scarcely knew what they were doing.
The ride to the station was one never to be forgotten. The ashes were being shoveled off the pavements like snow in our country. The people had their faces covered to protect them from the sand and ashes. What terrified us most was that inky cloud that hung down to the ground on the edge of the city and seemed to draw nearer every moment. Oh! that awful sight. It surely did strike terror to our hearts, and added to that were the rumblings that never ceased. When we reached the station, it was packed, the people fleeing from the towns to Naples seeking safety, many with all they possessed tied in a handkerchief.
Four towns were entirely destroyed last night. It seemed that everyone in Naples was hurrying away - it was perfect pandemonium. The managers of the road were directing matters, and told us that every engine they had was in service. You know how desperate it was to get places when I tell you that we gave $5 to the porter to get us seats. He took us to a fast train supposed to leave at 9:45. It was then sidetracked, and we we obliged to crawl in between other cars. The rush to get the trains off was fearful, but the officials did work hard.
The lava is rushing now 25 feet a minute. Two new craters have opened on the side of the mountain.
I could never express by writing all we passed through, but it will have to wait to tell you all about it when I see you. It certainly has been an experience I never want to have again.
We are safe at last, and thank the Good Lord for that.
Dorothy Roberts.

Note: The eruption of April 7, 1906 killed over 100 people and ejected the most lava ever recorded from a Vesuvian eruption. Italian authorities were preparing to hold the 1908 Summer Olympics when Mount Vesuvius erupted, devastating the city of Naples. Funds were diverted to the reconstruction of Naples, so a new location for the Olympics was required.

Witness Was Offered Free Trip to Japan
WASHINGTON, May 20 (UP) - William Wallace Chapin, editor and publisher of the San Francisco Argonaut, today testified in the trial of two publicists accused of conspiracy and failure to register as foreign agents that the Japanese government offered him a free trip to Japan through one of the men.
He said a two-months junket was offered after he had rejected a manuscript written by Frederick Vincent Williams for publication in his magazine.
PROPAGANDA CHARGE
Williams is on trial with David Warren Ryder. They both were employed by the Japanese committee on trade in San Francisco, which the government alleges was a propaganda organization.
Chapin testifies he rejected the trip after his wife said "It's my intuition that we shouldn't have anything to do with the Japanese."
Chapin testified that Williams told him he was employed by the Japanese government at $350 a month. He said that he did publish two articles of Williams, "Lindbergh Was Right, The Russians Can't Fight," in October, 1938, and "Behind The Scene in Asia" in November, 1939.

OBITUARY - Oakland Tribune (CA); 8 November 1957; page E 3; (Ancestry.com):

W. W. Chapin, 83, Civic Leader, Dies
William Wallace Chapin, capitalist, publisher, civic leader and a leading figure in the days when Oakland was first becoming a city, died last night at his home, 2108 Washington St., San Francisco. He was 83.
The one-time publisher of the old Oakland Enquirer had only this year relinquished ownership of the last of his publications, the Argonaut, a San Francisco magazine he acquired in 1929.
A member of a family which traces its linage back to F. A. Muhlenberg, the first speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, and the son of Col. W. C. Chapin, a Sioux Wars veteran, Mr. Chapin came to California at the bequest of the Southern Pacific Co. in 1896. The railroad was impressed by his work with the Baldwin Locomotive Co. after had studied engineering at the University of Pennsylvania.
TURNS TO NEWSPAPERS
He entered newspaper work through his marriage to Helen Wilson, daughter of John L. Wilson, United States Senator and publisher of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
He subsequently owned for varying periods the Sacramento Union, Oakland Enquirer (from 1918-1922), The San Francisco Morning Call, the Chicago herald, and the Newark, N.J., Morning Star. Mr. Chapin retired in 1925 but found idleness boring and acquired the Argonaut, California's oldest surviving publication.
VARIED INTERESTS
In 12948, he was selected to head the California St. Cable Railway and was president of the firm when it was sold to the City of San Francisco two years later. He was interested in city planning and served on the San Francisco Planning Commission for many years, resigning in 1948.
He was a trustee of the Carnegie Endowment for International peace and a Bohemian Club member for 50 years. Surviving are his wife, Dorothy, and a daughter, Catherine Parsons.
Last rites will be held at 1 p.m. tomorrow at N. Gray and Co., Divisadero and Post Streets, San Francisco.
