The application was to have been act ed upon by Judge Gould several days ago, but al the request of the attor- neys for the Georgia wife the matter was postponed for a hearing until te- day.
 In her papers Nancy Miller declares that she is the only legal wife of Dr. Miller and that Ethel Miller is their daughter.
