TELL MASONIC SECRETS
$50 Says Man Whom Former

for a Separation.

NEW YORK, October 6-When Justice
Maddox in the supreme court, Brooklyn
yesterday ordered Harry B. Mather to
pay his wife $50 counsel fee in a separa-
ton suit she has brought against him,
it developed that the dulcet tone Of his
wife's voice while she was hello
girl was that which had first fascinated
him. But, Mather says. shortly after
marriage the sweet tune changed to one
of discomfort. He also denies her charge
Of cruelty.
Mather met his wife in October 1890,
when he was secretary Of the Columbia
Theater, Brooklyn. She was then at a
local telephone exchange. They were
married in 1906 and spent their honey
moon in Washington. While at the
capital. Mather AYERS, his wife said ia
him: Now, Harry, you know there
shouldn't be any secrets between hus-
band and wife; 1 want you to tell me
all you know about the Masons and the
terrible things they do I really can't
be happy unless you do"
Wanted His Pay Envelope.
Mather declined to disclose the secrets
and he asserts his wife tossed her head
petulantly and said: II know a Mason
his wife's ears and left the room. After
this spat the couple went to Somerville,
Mass, Mather being employed in Boston.
Later they went to live with his parents
and one week instead of giving his wife
his pay envelope Immediately, Mather
says. he first paid their board and handed
over the balance. He asserts his wife
flew into a rage and said:
If I can't handle our money 1 know
what l can do. I can go back to the
New York Telephone Company any time

widows and women who have left their
husbands"
Mather declares his wife made no at
tempt to carry out her threat. but an
noyed him In every way possible. Once,
he AYERS, she threw a carving knife at
him. Next. Mather declares. another man
appeared on the scene. This man. he says,
peddled milk and was a student at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Subsequently Mather's wife left him
and went to New York. The case has
been set for trial next month.
