COLLISION CHARGED
INA DIVORCE SUIT
Young Wife Declares That Husband Of
fered Her $1,000 TO Release Him
From Their Marriage Bonds.

PHILADELPHIA, May 13.-Argument
will be made today in the divorce suit
of Lewis z. Rieder against his wife, Mary
B. Rieder, IN which the husband, who is
about thirty-eight years old, is seeking a
separation on the ground Of desertion.
The couple were married in the summer
of 1897 they resided on North Park Ave-
nue. for a few years, when. Mr. Rieder
testified, his wife deserted him and re-
manned away the statutory period of two
years.
Mrs. Rieder. in her own defense at TIE
opening of the suit yesterday, denied that
she deserted her husband, but said she
took a small house OF her own at his sug-
gestion. She AYERS that while they were
living together her husband HItreated
her, and that he is a man OF loose moral
habits. She said she aud her husband had
frequent quarreis, and on one occasion he
offered to give her s., 600 if she would re-
lease him from their marriage bonds.
Mrs. Rieder is stately young woman,
and her perfectly brunette features were
contrasted to advantage by a perfectly
fitting white silk waist and blue cloth
skirt and large hat with plumes- She
was accompanied by a number of fair
young women who wished TO testify in her
behalf

Standing of the Clubs.

The Senators journeyed over to The
Monumental City yesterday to pluck the
Orioles feathers. but they found that
there was nothing doing il that line The
Birds have been losing too many games
of late, according to Muggsy McGraw's
figuring, and he served notice on them
yesterday that they would have to hump
themselves together and take a fall out
of those easy things from the Capital
The Baltimoreans took the hint aad took
fall out Of the Senator's. They easily
walloped the Lotus bunch OF balltosseTs
by the score of 8 to (. After the game
the local aggregation looked like they had
been wTung through a clothes wringer.
They were all tagged out, and are still
tired as a result CT the game.
Case Patten had a hankering for the
center OF the diamond and Lotus
acquiesced and allowed him to take his
stand sixty feet from the batting slab.
He has been bowling them over in great
shape in all the games he has pitched,
with the exception of yesterdays game
This can be accounted for by the fact
that some dope writer took occasion to
shoot something like this into Case:
"Patten, by the way has excited the envy
of every other pitcher in the American
League, for his work up to date has been
of the tTtple-plate gilt-edge variety etc
No ordinary balfplayer could read that
hattering press notice without expanding
his chest and getting the swelled Uranium
just on general principles Case is no ex-
ception to the hoi polloi, and he was a lit
tie shaky yesterday. The Muggsies took
occasion to fatten their batting averages
while he was 4 trife shalxy, and batted
him safely fifteen times. Setback gave
the horsehide a gentle tap in the fifth
inning which sent IL whfZZfng to the
center field fence while he ambled around
the four bag circuit. Seymour also got
two two-baggers, and Williams got a
triple. DeIehanty welded the willow in
fine form, but he did not make good when
hits were needed McGinnity WIs too
much Of an enigma for the men from This
city, and in the early innings they threw
up the sponge and dispaiTed of winning
the game
Today McGraw will turn his dogs of
war loose, and to the agging Of ''eat them
up and shove them out Of sixth place"
the Orioles are expected to give the
Senators Jolt down the pennant ladder.

Confession of Faith as to prevent our

the single exception of the innocent par
Y, when divorce has been granted for
adultery"
