Mrs. Dobaon. vino was the widcsv of

through matrimonial advertisement
inserted in a publication devoted to
matchmaking. After Mrs. Dobson had
been found dead in her home neighbors
told the police of frequent qusrrels be-

administration of her financial affairs.
The police were informed that partic-
ularly violent quarrel took place the
night before Dobson's disappearance
and the discovery of his wife's body.
County Detective Doran began n pur-
suit of Dobson within few hours of his
disappearance. The detective was only
a few hours behind him in the whole
chase which led from Camden to FIVE
cities of Ontario.
When Dobson fled he took his two
children with him and they were not
located by Detective Doran, who re-
turned to Canada in search of them.
1t was said last night that Dobson
had left the children with relatives
of his in South Woodsley, Ont, and

Mrs. Bishop Seeks to
Tie Up Bankers Income

Mrs Abigail Hancock Bishop who OBJ
tanned divorce from James Canning
ham Bishop, banker, in 1913. brought
a proceeding in the Supreme Court
yesterday to restrain the trustees of a
trust fund of $b44.000 created for Mr..
Bishop by his late father, Heber r.
Bishop, from paying the income to him.
The trustees are Moses Taylor Francis
c. Bishop and the Metropolitan Trust
Company
Mrs. Bishop complains that her for
mer husband, who is living at Torres
dale, Pa, has reduced the alimony
awarded her by $50 week With her
divorce decree she received an alimony
award OF $4,000 a year, which was re-
duced to $4,000 year and subsequently,
was increased to $4,000.
The custody of the Bishop children
was divided between the father and
mother. Mrs. Bishop was to have the
teen years old. She says that Mr.
Bishop has alienated this daughter
from her, Abigail is now with her
father, and has written letters to ner
mother saying she intended to remain
with Mr.. Bishop.
Mrs. Bishop complains that in April
last Mr.. Bishop began to allow her $50
a week less than the court order called
for, which, he explained, was to pay for
the education of their daughter Abb
gail. Then in June, it is alleged, he
reduced the alimony another $50 q
week for the clothes and other neces-
sary expenses Of their daughter. Mrs.
Bishop asks that the trustees be re-
strained from paying any further in
come from the trust fund to Mr.. Bishop
and that a receiver be appointed tor
the fund with instructions to paw her
the full amount of the alimony.

"Al of this does not take into con-
sideration the sum of $40 900 900, more
or less. due by us from the days of the
past to the navy. When we give the
hgure Of $20,000,000 rs due the navy
we want to make clear that the amount
involved has never been determined
between the Shipping Board and Navy,
and ut an early date we are going to
have matching of accounts
We have always gone on the basis
that we would not be asked by the navy
to pay this amount, and, in fact, the
navy has been very induigcnt. Should
the navy require this sum for their
own appropriations, it will be neces-
sary for us to go to Congress for q
special appropriations because we could
not possibly operate with 100000, 900
this year and meet the old obligations
to the navy which occurred before tho
