Following the burning of theatre in
his city, Mayor Charles J. French or
Concord, n H., has issued an order
against oyercrowding of other theatres
in Concord Nowadays that order is
hardly ever necessary, unless it be in
moving picture shows; but it is reason
able enough to demand that tickets
merely for the seating capacity OF the
house be sold.

The report by Postmaster General
Hitchcock to-day that the postal savings

States. That makes the best feature Of
the system and justifes its continuance.

WIFE OF BANKER
SEEKS A DIVORCE
Prominent Nebraskan Sued By
Wife in Courts of Hamil-
ton County, Ohio.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. s1.-Mrs.
Frances Brion, wife of Walter S.
Brion, one of the wealthiest bankers
in Nebraska and president of one OF
the banks of Norfolk, has filed her
petition in the common pleas court of
Hamilton county, Ohio, for a divorce.
Before she was married to Br!on on
August Z, 1907, she was Miss Frances
Cramer, being at that time just past
her majority. While incompatibility
OF temperament is n OF the grounds
for her petition, she gives several
other reasons.
She says that all during their mar
ital relationship Mr.. Brion was ex-
tremely jealous of her; that he has
made statements rejecting on her
character; that nothing she did for
him satisfied him, and that he always
was contrary and finding fault with
her. She charges he complained be-
cause she attended church and that he
is of a different religious belief from
her and this has been the source of
much difference between them.
Mrs. Brion says further her hrs-
bands conduct mas made her extreme
ly nervous; that he made their rela-
tons so unhappy and herself so un-
welcome that she was forced to leave
him on August 20, 1910. Following the
separation Mrs. Brion came to Cincin-
natl to complete her musical educa-
ton. She established a residence here,
and the suit for divorce has just been
filed.
