PASTORS DIVORCE SUIT STIRS SOCIETY

< Cleveland. O., June 14-C1eveIand so- ciety circles were stirred again today when 1t became known that &he Rev. Gerard F. Patterson. rector of the Church, Of the Incarnation in the East End, had started an action for di- vorce from May Fee Patterson, nam7 ing M. Van Voortees Lloyd. g, wealthy grain dealer, as correspondent
 The action is sequel to the troubles barred recently between the Patterson and Lloyd families. In February last. awarded $50 a month. She charged her husband had abandoned her. and had taken up his residence at the Cleveland Athletic club. This started gossip in high society circles and a great stir was caused on May 27, when Mrs. Lloyd sued Mrs. Patterson for $10,OO0 for alleged alienation of her husbands affections She charged that the rectcr's wife had Iured her husband away by means of ''arti1ces, bIandishments and coquetry''
 The Rev. MT. Patterson defended his wife vigorously, and characterized the action as a, species of blackmail He declared that Mrs. Patterson's friend ship for MT. Lloyd was proper, and that Mrs. Lloyd was wrong in her de- auctions.
 The rector is not inclined to discuss the case. He is alone in his deserted apartments.
 ''I understand my wife has gone to Buffalo and that from there she will go to New York and leave for Liver pool to live abroad" he said ''I am alone. My children, Jerome, eighteen years old and Wilda, fifteen, have gone with their mother

WHITE HOUSE BAN ON
 MILITARY UNIFORMS

Washington, D. C., June IA Georgeous military uniforms trimmed in gold lace will be few and far be- tween at the White House functions during President Wilson's administra- ton. according to persons who should know.
 Major Thomas L. Rhoades. Military Aide at the White House for more than a year, it is said, will retire shortly to resume his medical work in the army. Major Rhoades wanted to get back into the service when Presi- dent Taft left office, but President Wilson asked him to remain for a while at least.
 Major Rhoades is not in Washing ton now. He recently underwent an operation for appendicitis, and is fast recovering.
 President Wilson's love for the plain is evidenced in his shyness in allow ing himself to get into the linelight on his calls around Washington, and his decision that a uniformed military aide shall not accompany him when ever he travels.

BRIDCIE. WEBER STABBED TODAY
 IN THE STREET
Witness In Becker Murder Case RetiCent About the Knif-
 ing

New York, June 14-"Brfdgie''- Web Der. one of the four gamblers who tes-
 tifed against Police Lieut.. Becker and the gunmen convicted of the murder of Herman Rosentha1, another gam
 bier. was stabbed in the shoulder
 under circumstances which he seemed loath to explain. He is in St. Yin cents hospital today, suffering some pain and weak from loss of blood but his wound will have no serious result
 unless blood poisoning sets in.
 At first he tried to even hide his own identity and the fact that he had been wounded. The stabbing occurre ed in East 9th street. Webber tried to walk away on the arm of a friend, hiding the wound, but on Broadway, in front of Grace church, he sank ex- hausted and admitted to a policeman that he had been stabbed. An ambu- lance carried him to the hospital where the flow of blood was stopped and where, later, Webberas identity was discovered.
 webber at first did not account for the stabbing at all. Then he said he was walking on Eighth street on his way to a subway station when a small boy ran out of a house behind him and plunged a penknife into his left shoulder. webber finally declared, T do not know who stabbed me and I don't want to know.
 Detectives learned that Webber had kept a midnight engagement with Sam Paul whose name was often mention ed in the early stories of the Rosen- thai case as the leader of an outing of East Siders who talked of "croak- ing'' Rosenthal and who has lately kept a small restaurant near Eighth street It appeared that Webber had been alta cked shortly after concluding his engagement with Paul.
 RoSenthal was killed July 16. of last year. Although Webber was arrested in the roundup of gam blers that followed and was charged with implication in the murder, he was never tried With "Ba1d'' Jack Rose and others he turned states evi- dence and helped to send former Po- lice Lieut. Becker and the four gum men to Sing Sing where they are now under death sentence. After the trial of the gunmen, Webber and his fe1- low informers were released. They declared they had received many threats against their lives and for several weeks afterwards they lived in dread of an attack at the hands of former: associates in the underworld

in the best possible place for practic- ing physical culture-she can make her housework the basis of the very best physical culture exercises. For instance, when a woman stoops to pick up something from the floor she must bend from her hips. This is a, wonderful exercise for the tightening Of the abdominal muscles and reduc- ing the hips. Very few women real ize how often they stoop to pick up things and they invariably do it by bending the knees. This is all right if you are rheumatic and rather stiff.

 When you make your beds, bend from the hips over them and throw the sheets and comforts over with a free motion that will give your lungs and liver a squeeze.

DAD WENT DOWN AND OUT.
Threw Furniture at Son Who Used
Chair in RebuttaI.

ElDorado. Kan, Jan. 7.-william
Thompson, a farmer living several
miles southwest of Augusta, was ar
rested and brought to Augusta on a
warrant sworn out by his wife. for
disturbing her peace.
It seems that Mr.. Thompson be-
came angry at his son while the
family was at dinner. He took Of
Tense at some remark of the young
man and proceeded to gather up the
furniture and throw chairs at his son.
The young man did not take kindly
to the pastime and proceeded to an
swer the attack with chair, which
landed on his fathers forehead and
cut a large cash just above the eyes.
1t was thought for some time that Mr..
Thompson was down and out, but a
few moments in the open air helped
him wonderfully.
Mr.. Thompson was arrested some
time ago for abusing his wife. The
officers were lenient with him at that
time.
