CHURCHES TO CUT

and adopted bylaws and a constitution
for the Federation OF the Churches Oh
the State OF Michigan, which Is to be
affiliated with the Federal Council OF
Churches OF Christ OF North America.
The federation's statement or primer
pies says In part:
No community In which any de-
nomination has any legitimate claim
shall be entered by any other denom'
nation through It's official agencies
without conference with the denom-
nation or denominations having such
claims. A feeble church should be
revived IL possible. rather than new
one established TO become its rival
The preference OF community
should always be regarded by demon
national committees, missionary COM
mittees, and individual workers.
Those denominations having
churches nearest at hand should, otn-
er things being equal, be recognized
as being In the most advantageous
position to encourage and aid new
enterprise in their community, IL
should be left TO develop that work
without other denominations interior

ANOTHER CHAPTER ADDED
TO TANGLED DIVORCE SUIT
Frank M. Root Refused To Allow HIS
Wife to Work and He Must Pay
Her SIS Week Allmony.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, May 3.-Frank
NJ. Root. a music dealer in this city,
must pay his wife SIS week alimony
In spite of the fact that he earns but
S25 a week as manager OF the store
he formerly owned In this city. Judge
Kline Of the circuit court here, has
issued an order for him TO do so on
petition OF the wife, who is preparing
TO sue him for a divorce third time.
The marital troubles OF the Roots
have furnished food for gossip for a
number of years. Mrs. Root filed a
suit for divorce some years ago. but
before II came to trial the pair became
reconciled and went TO living together
again. About two years ago Mrs.
Root fled a second suit, and on the
grounds OF cruelty and abuse was
granted a divorce and alimony In the
circuit court here. Mrs. Root then
engaged In the music business In op-
position to her husband. He carried
the suit TO the supreme court. and that
tribunal recently handed down de-
cree reversing the Judgment OF the
lower court and granting an intunc-
ton restraining Mrs. Root from engag-
ing In business as long as she Is the
wife of Mr.. Root. The courts deci-
sion. in reality was TO the effect that
a wife Is subject to her husbands or
ders. and that she cannot even work
for a living as long as he Is willing
to support her,
This, Mr.. Root asserts, he Is willing
TO do and since the decree or the
higher court Mrs. Root has been
placed in the position OF being unable
70 earn a living. She Immediately dis
posed of her business here, and began
SUIT for a divorce on the grounds OF
cruelty and abuse, her attorneys hav-
ing discovered alleged grounds for a
divorce in Mr.. Roots actions between
the time the supreme court decree was
granted and the filing OF the latest
suit. At the time of the fling OF Mrs.
Roots suit she asked for and secured
an Injunction restraining him from
disposing OF his business, but before
he could be served with the papers
he had sold his business to Detroit
music house. and had accepted a posi-
ton as manager OF the store at s25
a week.
In spite of the fact that he claims
that he no longer has an interest In
the business he refused In court TO al
low his wife to go 10 work. although
her attorneys stated that she would
withdraw her demand for alimony IL
he would consent to II. They also
stated that she would agree to pay
his board II she were allowed to go TO
work. On account OF this refusal
Judge Kline granted the alimony OF
s15 a week pending the hearing OF
the suit and also ordered Mr.. Root
70 nav her solicitors fee OF $50.

WILLIAM L. WILSON IS FREED

Home Protectors officer Who EN-

PORT HURON, Mich. May 3.-Wil

United Home Protectors fraternity
by embezzling funds In the sum OF
upwards OF $125.000, Is now free

wilson's conduct In prison has been
so good that II was decided to par
ole him in spite of the storm Of pro-
tests made by stockholders who lost
money In the defunct fraternity. The
fact that he was let go by the par
don board before the affairs OF the
fraternity had been settled has
brought forth a storm OF objection
here.
In the hey-day of his career VIII
son owned one Of the finest houses
In the city. He rode about In hand
some equipages and had two automo-
biles at his command. When his down
fall came his home was sold and his
family went TO Detroit where they
have since been living.
Since Wilson's arrest suit has been
started against the officers OF the
fraternity by the receiver on the
grounds that they were negligent In
allowing the former secretary to mis-
appropriate the funds OF the frater'
nifty. One OF the stockholders In this
city who lost about $1,000 was not
seen by the members of the pardon
board and he wrote letter saying
that Wilson should serve his full
term and that II he were released
some of the stockholders would pc

this action will be taken Is no known.
