main points for which the Wright brothers
were fghting-the principle OF warping the

"In Germany" Mr.. Barnes explained,

These are indeed lean days for the wives

he known As the wife Of member or tho

reasonably expect 10 be. But apparently

One of these three cases is that OF Al

her Of the Stock Exchange firm Of j. b.
Russell e. Co. His wife. Mrs. Claudia
Wheeler. who was Miss Csrlstedt, comic
opera singer, sued him for separation
on the ground of cruelty and abandonment
Justice Newburger signed yesterday the
decree. AS a matter of fact Wheeler did
not oppose the separation, but he fought
against paying his wife $4,000 year ali
roony. That was the amount the Supreme
Court originally allowed Mrs. Wheeler, 1t
being cut down to 5000 year by the APP
pelate Division.
MrR. Wheeler declared lnAI hne SliuplJ

cases Wheeler said the only tangible
asset he had was his seat on the Stock
Exchange, valued at $4,000. against which
there was a claim for $4,000 He said he
could not pay the alimony.
How did he manage to get along? HIS
father, Albert Gallatin Wheeler, who had
sunk $4,000 in financing his son. was
supporting him. he said. Here is what
Justice Newburger said yesterday in his
decision in which he continued the alimony
at 5000 a year:
After deserting the plaintiff the defendant
resided at the Plaza Hotel until feW
weeks before the trial. More than ten
months after he abandoned her, according
20 his own story. he began to assign his
interest in the banking firm of which he is
n member and transferred his real estate
10 his father But three weeks before the
trial ne mortsaged his furniture to his
father In spite of his impecuniosity he
continues his mode of living, remains
member of the Stock Exchange, the Union
League Club. the Luncheon Club. the New
York Athletic Club and the golf club at
Greenwich, willie he has made no provision
for the plaintiff except by the order of the
court.
