Wife Took Too Many
 Trips To Stamford,
 Says Divorce Seeker

John E. Stevens of Benham avenue, who acts as manager of a piano store in Ansonia, appeared before Judge Webb in the superior court this after noon to testify in his divorce suit against Louise Stevens, formerly of this city, but now of Stamford. He claims his wife deserted him March 13, 1912.
 Stevens said he frequently com plained because his wife made so many trips to Stamford. When he asked where she had been she replied: i've been to see Lawyer Rowell.'' It was the same old story, said Stevens, Joking hard at Attorney Powell, who represents Mrs. Stevens.
 Mrs. Stevens alleges cruelty and in- fidelity but during the morning ses- sion her side of the case had not been reached. On cross examination Stew ems was asked whether he had at any time been the victim of an obn noxious disease. He very indignantly denied this. The Stevens were married Aug. T, 1904.

MERCHANTS WILL
 HAVE CHORUS AT
 MONTHLY DINNER
Tuneful Setting For Feast Where Fire Prevention
 Will Be Discussed.

Fire Prevention will not be the only thing the Bridgeport Business Mems association will offer for the delectation of the men who gather at the monthly dinner Thursday night at The Stratfie1d. President Gaylord has called to his aid the Business Mems chorus, under the leadership of J. Stebbins C1yne, who has organ ized an aggregation of singers who will help to make the dinner lively.
 Speaking of the Business Mems chorus today, MT. Gaylord said These are all young fellows and they can sing. We expect they will be a distinct addition to the occasion, and while it will be their first appearance with us, most of them have sung pre- vdous1y at entertainments and they know how to get the melody out of q song. They will serve as a singing section and everybody is invited to join in the music.
 'sOf course we want something solid and I think the topic of fire prevention is one in which every business man is interested. The money loss through fire is the small est part. The loss of business is what hurts. If we can learn from experts be very foolish not to listen. I think we will have a large gathering. be- Heve they will find enlightenment in what the fire and insurance experts have to say, and I am sure they will be surprised to find we have so many vocalista.
 1T believe these monthly dinners are good thing. Everybody who at- tended the last one at which we dis ct1ssed Freight Congestion seemed to think we should hold them every month. But we can't hold them suc- cessfully unless they send in their acceptances. Secretary Morgan tells me the responses are little slow. wish that every business man would attend Thursday and I hope he will let the secretary know right away that he is coming, so that we can make reservation for him.
 You can say for me that this new chorus is going to be worth hearing and that the members don't want to Eniss It."
 Members are urged to send in their @cceptances right away. The price will be @1.OO, aa before, collected by
