WANTS ALLOWANCE INCREASED.
Arthur E. Templeton, as counsel for
Esther f. Chase, of Worcester, filed a
petition in the probate court Tuesday
representing that a decree for separate
maintenance was granted in the court
against Frank W. Chase, Jan. "a, 1896,
and that the respondent was ordered to
pay the petitioner $40 on the first day of
each month until further order of the
court. The petitioner claims that not
withstanding said decree. the respond
ent, being of sufficient ability, has failed
to act in conformity with the order of
the court, wherefore the petitioner prays
that the respondent be summoned to ap-
pear and show cause why he should not
pay the amount ordered, and further to
pay the amount of money now due, or
be adjudged in contempt by the court
The petitioner states that owing to ply
sical weakness she is unable to provide
for herself and is wholly dependent for
support upon the money due her from
the respondent; further that the sum OF
800 a month is insufficient to satisfac-
torily maintain her, and that as the re-
spondent, Frank w. Chase. is well able
to pay her a larger sum each month,
she prays that the court order him to
pay her henceforth $50 on the first day
of each month. The hearing on the pc
tition for increase in allowance and that
the respondent be adjudged in contempt
If he fail to follow theprevious order Of
the court, is set for March l.
