PAY HIM INCOME
Wife of Clarence l.. Scott Files
Petition for Divorce.
Would Run Restaurant and Al
low Him "AIimOny."

Blanche Scott, wife of Clarence L. /
Scott. former proprietor of the Gre
merle restaurant, reverses the usual
order in divorce action filed in the
district court today. Instead of ask
ing for alimony and court costs, she
agrees to pay alimony and the costs.
However, there are strings to the pro-
pOSal.
Mrs Scott not only asks for di-
vorce decree, but asks that the court
grant her complete ownership and
control of the G. l.. Scott restaurant
at APT Kansas avenue. She says she
is perfectly willing that Mr.. Scott shall
have a sufficient amount of the in
come of the restaurant to provide the
ordinary necessities of life. She
doesn't wish to add to his burden and
says she will pay her own court costs
and attorney fee.
The SCOTS were married in Topeka
in August, 1902. For many years
they were both familiar to the pa
irons of the Cremerie restaurant,
where she acted as cashier and he
as manager. The Cremerie went into
the hands of a receiver, was sold and
femOdeled; then scott continued as its
manager. A year ago the remodeled
place burned and SCOTS connection
with it was severed.
Later he esta blished the c. L. Scott
her petition Mrs. Scott relates how
this was brought about. She states
that she mortgaged her furniture and
diamonds to buy the place and that it
actually beloEsrs to her. She wants it
now and is willing to assume the 5000
mortgage. But she wants to manage
and control it completely All she
asks of Mr.. Scott is that he live off of
whatever division of the income the
court will grant him.
MRS. Scott says her husband is to-
! tally unfit to manage the business:
| that he is addicted to the use of in
toX1cating liquor and that he souan-
ders his money upon himself and 9TH
ers; that while the present restaurant
business has been and is exceedingly
prosperous it will soon go to ruin and
be lost to both of them unless it he
