aids showed no disposition to reject or
ganization support. but on the contrary
indicated that il would be- welcome.

Sued just to Please Him.

ANNAPOLIS. Md. March Mrs. Rella
Armstrong, who is suing her husband,
Paul Armstrong. the playwright. for
divorce in local court. astonished Judge
James K. Brashears to-day during argu-
ment on a question OF preliminary coun-
sci fees, when she announced that she
did not particularly desire a divorce
herself but had brought suit at the in
stance of her husband. She lalso said
that she desired to drop Alonzo j.. Miles
as her counsel because her husband did
not want him to have anything to do
with the case.
The fact that the suit was really the
result of friendly agreement to dis
agree had been rumored around Annap-
oils for some time. but the admission
that the parties were in such perfect
accord that the complainant had changed
her counsel at the instance Of the re-
spondent never had a parallel in the
local court.
The argument to-day was upon the
petition of Mr.. Miles for an Imperative
order directing the payment to him OF
$3.50 as counsel fees. The petition was
extraordinary. inasmuch as it was di-
! rected largely against his own client.
Mrs. Armstrong who, according to Miles,
has been delaying the case and refusing
TO set date for taking testimony. The
Court passed the order and Miles with
drew from the case.
