Major Smith in Divorce.

san FRANCISCO, May Is. = Maj.
Erneste V. Smith, paymastar of the de-
partment of California created a small
stir in regular army circles by filing a
divorce complaint against Cora l.. Smith,
to whom he was married IN Troy, New
York, April -, 1887.
Those who knew Major Smith well
knew that he had wife in the East,
but as the couple have not been living
together for many years the fact that
he contemplated legal proceedings was
known 10 verv few. Mrs. Smith is in
the East now, and her husband vester-
day had nothing to say regarding the
cause of his sudden appeal to the courts
or as to whether there was anything In
his plans for the future which moved
him to such a step.
The complaint was filed by Attorney
William NJ. Sims. The date of the sepa-
ration is given in the complaint as
'.prjor to February p, 1908, - but Sims
! said Yesterday that the word ''prlor
was intended TO cover long interval
of time.
Major smith lives at 2s45 Pierce
