DIVORCES WIFE
He SAYS COST

Had to Give Up Railroad Posi-
ton to Marry Her, Kansas
Man Declares:

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 17-W1liam
r. Allen, general manager of the Kan
sas City-St. Louis Railway, has been
granted divorce from Josephine B.
Allen, who Allen says cost him a
$4,000 position as assistant general
manager of the Rock Island Railroad
system when he married her in 1899.
In granting the divorce, Judge
Thomas did not sustain the charges
OF abuse and non support made by
Mrs Allen
Instead, he condemned the wife for
wishing release from her husband
so that she could marry Ralph In
gals, son of the late Senator John j.
ingalls,, of Kansas. Mrs. Allen ad-
mitted on the stand she had asked
her husband to divorce her so that
she could marry ingalls,. They were
childhood sweethearts, she said
Before her marriage Mrs. Allen was
Miss Josephine Dietrich, q society
belle of Topeka, Kans. She is 80
years old
Warned of Consequences.
Mr.. Allen testified that before his
marriage he was told by the officials
of the Rock Island he would lose his

merly figured in a sensational divorce
case.
He said he told them he had right
TO marry If he wanted to. He mar
ried and resigned his position as as
sistant general manager of the road.
He is 62.
Judge Thomas found that Allen
supported his wife beyond their sta
ton in life, and said the charge that
he borrowed money from his wife's
sister comes with poor grace"
Allen testified that he found his
wife drinking between 200 and 800
times; and the court says evidence
shows she "overindulgef in stimu-
lants." But the court says that this
tact would not justify the husband
in mistreating her, but would anne
liorate the language he might have
used in protesting against its con-
tinuance'
A "Grievous ndlenity-
Judge Thomas continued
THE keenest and most unkindest
cut of all was delivered when his
wife, forgetting her wifely duties and
obliga tons, asked him to give her her
release, in order that she might mar
ry another
ITO request release for this pur-
pose is a grievous indignity. Ii is de.
plorable that husband or wife, while
married to each other, should so far
forget the duties and privileges of
the marriage relation as to seek union
with, or for this purpose permit ad-
vances from another"
