Mare Island navy yard, obtained a di-
vorce from his wife Florence yester-
day in Judge Graham's court. A let

to send her no more money, declaring
her intention to follow "her life

mistake in marrying him. Oliver
testified that his wife had been di-
vorced before he married her. and
that her mother now wants her to
marry a wealthy physician of San
