DOCTORS DISAGREE
AND SEEK DIVORCE
Florence N. Ward Files Suit,
Charging Desertion Against
Physician husband

DR.. Florence N. Ward filed suit for
divorce from DIR. James NJ Ward yes
terday. The institution of proceedings
for the legal separation of this we'll
known couple will occasion no sur
prise, 1t having become known among
their friends that such action was
contemplated. Mrs. Ward charges de-
sertion and fixes the time at which
her husband left her as July, 1906 They
were married in July, 1896. There are
two children-Dorothy, aged II, and
lean, aged 9. No request as to the
custody of the children is made in
the complaint
The complaint states that the parties
have entered into an agreement with
relation to the disposition of their
property rights and asks that the
court confirm the agreement What
this arrangement is does not appear
The attorneys for Mrs. Ward are
Charles s. Wheeler and Chickering &
Gregory. The breach between the
Wards is understood to have arisen
from Mrs. Wards absolute devotion to
her profession as physician. Her
should have given more of Aher time
to home life.
DR.. II. B. franklin, a young physi-
clan formerly OF San Francisco but now
living IN Mendocfno county, was di-

lin told the judge that early last year
her husband said to her: The edge
of my affection for you has worn off.
If you do not leave me will leave
you" She took the hint and returned
to San Francisco. On this ground of
technical desertion on the husbands
parts Judge Graham granted an inter
locutory decree.

ton it was
Every bit as good as yours, Mr.. Bar

Yes, but. suppose l admit mine is

Then the lord deliver me from my

The colonel ended discussion of the sub
ject of reputation by offering to tell
what Shakespeare said about it. but no.
body wanted to know, apparently.
NETTLED AT BARRETT
The acidulous tone of the colonePs re-
plies was evidently 1.-THE result of a little
speech Barrett had made. He had been
asking the. witness about his private
means, but an objection by Attorney
Gould, who wanted to know if Barrett

Maddox. who had been lounging lazily
in his chair, sat up and glared angrily
at the lawyer, but said nothing. The
question was disallowed, as also were
several others designed to show the
coloneps financial relations with his
wife, from whom he has been separated
many years.
Questioned at length about why he
had gone to Mrs. O'Brien's apartment
May 6. 1907. when O'Brien came in un-
expectedly and said he would sue for a
divorce, the colonel said he was there

The days OF the bay pirate are num-

sponsible for polluting the waters of

have to keep a sharp lookout If they
would avoid arrest. The police de-
partment has been strengthened by

and sparkling wine glistened in the

ried half the guests back to the city
and the other half returned on the
