HOLDS UP DIVORCE TILL
WIFE CAN BE HEARD

Dir. II. W. Price, OF Detroit, made
an effort TO get divorce In Judge
Colds court, Saturday morning, but
failed, because his wife. Annie, had
not been served with notice OF the
proceedings against her. The court
asked where she was, and the plain
tiff said the last he had heard from
her was when she was preparing to
enter hospital In Pittsburgh, Pa,
to undergo an operation for append
citis. That was last May. She wrote
on post card and II was produced.
On the card, Mrs. Price addressed her
husband In endearing terms, said she
was sorry, for any wrong she might
have done him and forgaye him for
any wrong on his part.
Did you go to. Pittsburgh to see
yonr wife," Judge Codd asked the
plaintiff.
The plaintiff said he didn't, and ad.
mitted that he started the suit for
divorce week after receiving the
postal.
Judge Codd said he didn't like the
look OF the case and wouldn't under
any circumstances give the decree
antil Mrs. Price had been given a
chance to appear In court.
DEGREES were granted in the fol-
lowing cases: Maggie VS.. George A..
Gordon; Susie VS.. John Westerberg;
Frank VS.. Elizabeth Gregory; Bessie
VIZ. Leo Moss Walter vs.. Mary An
hut; Agatha VS.. Samuel Bedson; Lii

The above Is quoted from the 1910

finct OF the Seventeenth ward. The
book Is ON hie in the city clerks, OF

The significance OF the quotation
lies In the fact that Benjamin has
written, or, at least signed. warm
Endorsement OF Mayor Thompson, stat
lag that he Is Republican. but can
not stand for the Republican candi-
date for mayor. although he Is going
to vote for the Republican nominee
for president.
The record shows that Benjamin did
not vote In the primary OF 1910, al
though he was enrolled Mayor
Thompson was candidate for the
nomination. This year Benjamin did
not enroll and consequently did not
take part In nominating any candi-
date for mayor The last official rec
ord shows him 10 have been a Demo
crat. He has never been active In
Ssblitics. Friends who have known
him from boyhood, were laughing at
the fine phraseology OF the letter,
Saturday, saying that Mr.. Benjamins
literary style has improved distinctly.
Benjamin's trade is not writing, but
