Secret Of the Paterson"
Divorce, Finally Leaks Out
Papers Were Filed Under Name of Peterson VS..
Peterson Society Long Expected Move-Mrs.
Paterson Beauty-Ronald Makes No Defense.

Blanche E. Paterson was granted
a divorce from Ronald L. Paterson
by District Judge Wakeley last
Tuesday. Mr.. Paterson did not con-
test the divorce.
Paterson is more or less prominent
in Omaha society. Mrs. Paterson
was noted for her beauty. They
were married June 2, 1908. His wife
was Blanche Waterman.
Desperate efforts were made to
keep the divorce petition and the
decree out of the newspapers and
with some success. No paper had
the story of the filing of the petit
ton, October e.. 1919. and it was en-
tered on the records as Peterson
against Peterson" and the files im-
mediately withdrawn by Baldrige
& Keller, attorneys for Mrs. Pater-
son.
Decree Kept Secret.
\ The decree was granted last Tues
day and kept secret until yesterday,
when the news leaked out.
According to the decree. Mrs.
Paterson will get $4,000 alimony,
payable at the rate of SIPS month.
She also was granted an interest in
real estate worth $4,000, which Pat
erson owns. She alleges that he has
an income of $500 month.
Mrs. Paterson alleges in the petit
ton that Paterson treated her with
extreme cruelty. Her sister, Phyllis
Paterson, and mother, Mrs. M. E.
Waterman, testified that this cruelty
included actual physical violence
against Mrs. Paterson.
Mrs. Paterson is a very close
friend of Mr.. and Mrs. Howard
Baldrige.. Last spring she accom-
panied them on a trip to South
America. The Patersons are said to,
have had much trouble throughout
their married life.
Roughed 1t at Mine.
Three years ago Ronald Paterson
became interested in coal mine at
Miner, Colo. His wife, hoping to
get along amicably with him, &C
companied him to the mine and for
two years roughed it, cooking and
cleaning up the miners rooms.
In April, 1918, she found she
could stand it no longer and re-
turned TO Omaha. She lived for a
time at the Blackstone. But Ronald
did not follow her.
Before they left Omaha for the
coal mine camp, Mr.. and Mrs. Pat

Debate on Admitting
Women to Church of
ENGLAND Priesthood !

London, June 16-Correspondenc
Excitement attended a debate in a
public meeting held the other day in
Church House, Westminster. the
headquarters of the Church of Eng
land, over the question whether
women should be admitted to the
priesthood. The principal debaters
were Miss Maude Royden, a leader OF
the movement here for women clergy
and the Rev. A. G. Magee. staunch
opponent Of the scheme.
Clergymen Joined with laymen and
women in kissing, booing and cheer
ing. according to the side they took.
ITO admit women to the priest
hood" the Rev. Mr.. Magee declared,
would be a revolution, not an evo-
luton. They cannot have revolution
Of that character until the whole
church has set it's seal upon it and
God has approved of it."
Kissing and cries Of SHANE!
greeted his discussion Of the moral
relationships likely to rise between
men and women in the church if the
latter were admitted. You cannot
get away from the sex question:" he
said. I'VE are made as we are. and
that fact remains"
Amid applause from his friends he
said he believed the granting of the
priesthood to woman would make
her false to her master and false to
her SEX"
Women" argued Miss Royden,
desire women as priests, and their
admission to the priesthood would
make 1t much easier for women to get
help from the church."
After quoting the New Testament
to show that the commission of the
priesthood was given to men and
women alike in the Upper Room" at
Jerusalem, she continued:
THE head of the Church Of Eng
land has not always been a man
Queen Elizabeth, Queen Anne and
Queen Victoria were all supreme
heads Of the church."
No! MOI" shouted many voices.
I am sorry If you don't like it,"
Miss Royden told the protesting ele-
ment. but it is so."
She went on to affirm that the
fundamental differences between
men and women were not a bar to
women's entry into the priesthood,
Women, she concluded, desire to
conform more nearly to the ideal laid
down by Christ. He laid down moth
Ing and suggested nothing that di-
vided men and women in the vocation
OF priesthood" No vote was taken
on the subject.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1919-07-09

members and friends were the guests.
1t being Independence day fireworks
were displayed and seasonable refresh
ments Of ice cream were served. 1t was
very enjoyable occasion for both old
and young.
A meeting Of North Somerset Grange
was held last Saturday evening. There
was not large attendance due possibly
to the fact Of the extreme heat and
