WIFE OF PHYSICIAN
GIVEN DIVORCE DECREE
Mrs. Hipkins Says She Had
to Sell Piano to Get
Back From South

Mrs Carrie Hipkins, who IS still IN
her twenties, was granted an inter-
locutory decree of divorce yesterday
from DR. Henry Hipkins, who is past
so. The young wife testified in Judge
Murasky's court that when she went to
Los Angeles with the doctors permis-
sion he told her that she could stay
there, and she was compelled to sell
her piano TO get sufficient money for
a return ticket TO San Francisco.
After she returned her husband would
not let her share his home. Mrs.
Maude Lunt, a friend Of the plaintiff
testified that DR.. Hipkins told her that
his wife could never again live with
him.
Glenice Ethel Hendry began suit for
a divorce from Duncan Hendry on ahe
ground of cruelty. She charges that
he forced her to get out of a sick bed
and cook his breakfast, that he threat
ened to XIII her, and once caused her
serious illness by attacking her in the
street.
w. G. Hoffman, travelling salesman,
charges his wife, Grace, with desertion,
cruelty and infdelity. His divorce
complaint, which was filed yesterday,
recites that soon after their marriage
in Newark, n. J., his bride told him
that she did not love him, that she had
married him for his money, and that
as soon as she got it all she would
leave him. He took her to Toronto,
Canada, and there, he alleges, she fell
in love with two men, one named
Wicke and the other Robinson, and re-
cefyed attentions from them while he
was away on the road. Both are
named as correspondents. For two
months, alleges Hoffman, his wife re-
fused TO speak to him, and in July,
1893, she left him and has not since
returned.

SEEKS DIVORCE BECAUSE
Of SMALL ALLOWANCE
Mrs. Bessie Miller Alleges
Husband Gave Her
81 a Week
BUT 81 FOR CLOTHES
Needs Spectacles, but She
Is Refused Them, She
Charges

Society women often spend $4,000 a
year for gowns, but Mrs Bessie NJ
Miller OF this city complains that her
allowance for all manner OF clothing
was only $50 a year. In a divorce COM
plaint which she fled yesterday against
her husband, Frank c. Miller, she
charged that he grudgfngly gave her
81 each week to adorn herself; that II
was not enough. and that she was
forced to clothe herself out Of money
she had saved before marriage
The wedding Of the plaintif, who
was formerly Bessie Lindley, and Nil
Ter took place Christmas day, 1905. II
IS alleged IN the complaint that imnne-
diately after the marriage Miller began
10 treat hts wife with cold indiffer-
ence." he preferred the society of his
mother to that OF his wife. In the
presence OF his wife mother and son
often conversed IN German, a langua ge
which the wife did not understand
Next Miller put his mother in charge
OF the household, told his wife she was
incompetent to manage the larder and
fixed the limit OF household expenses
st se a week, a sum which, Mrs. Miller
alleged, was wholly insufficient to pro-
vide anything better than a poor quail
" OF food. Next the wife was put or
the 81 a week clothing allowance. She
had weak eyes and asked her husband
10 buy her a pair OF glasses, but he re-
fused.
II is also alleged that Miller earns
500 a month and receives an addi-
tional income of $40 q month for rent
OF city property, but instead OF sup
plying the needs OF his wife he devote:
the greater part Of his income TO pay
ing of a mortgage on Fell street fats
in his mothers name
Mrs Miller asks a divorce on the
ground OF cruelty. She also desires
permission TO resume her nader
name, Bessie NJ. Lindley.

on the anti-treatinR bill. and on the bill
making the office of clerk of the supreme
court salaried one. A list OF new bills

senate, the principal being the administra-
tion bill, requiring candidates to file ac-
counts Of their expenses in the campaign.
