Under Ne Exeat Bond on Wife's
Plea, Petitions Court.

Irving S. Brewer, insurance broker,
who was required to give a bond of
$1,000 recently on the complaint of his
wife, Catherine L. Brewer that he was
about to leave the city, asked the Dis
trict Supreme Court yesterday to dis
charge the writ of ne exeat and
to cancel his bond. Through Attorney
Richard L. Merrick, the husband
points out that the wife's peti-
ton did not meet with the re
quirementS outlined Friday by Chief
Justice Mccoy in an interview pub
lished in The Star setting forth
his disapproval of the custom of put
ting husbands in Jail on mere threats
to leave the city made to the wife in a
casual way.
Brewer says the wife's petition did
not state sufficient grounds for the
issuance of the writ against him and
was not supported by evidence that
he was about to leave Washington TO

final action is taken by the Navy De-
partment on these two applications,
no steps will be taken to fill these
places. 1t Is interesting to note this
connection that these two prospective
rettrementS will create vacancies In
the grade of captain for which the
selection board has made no selections.
The probabilities are that these will
remain vacant until the appointment
of the next board.

by Rear Admiral Louis McC. Mutton,
superintendent of the Naval Academy,
OF the granting of leaves to midship-
men during the present academic
year.

Efforts are being made by the Navy
Band to have the Navy Department
equip this musical organiZa ton, which
has become quite popular in the Ma
tional Capital with special uniform.
In support Of this petition, il is point
ed out that both the Army and Marine
bands wear a specially designed uni
form which give them distinctive ap-
pearance, and the belief has been eX-
pressed that the naval bandSmen
should be similarly equipped. A num-
ber of special designs have been
drawn up for the band. but up to the
present the Navy Department has
taken no definite action In the matter.
Pending further instructions from
Coast Guard headquarters, no fur
ther advancements to the following
ratings will be made unless specifically
authorized. They are: Chief quarter

BROWN DOES NOT
 SPEAK AT CHURCH
Thousands Disappointed at St. Mark'S-On-the-

New York. April 20.-More than thousand persons attracted by the prospect of a de1al of Bishop Will liam T. Manning, packed St. Marks in-the- -Bouwerie yesterday after noon, and other thousands were turned away, but Bishop William Montgomery Brown, twice convicted of hercsy by church courts, all though present, did not speak.
 After the services he and pr. Will liam Norman Guthrie, the rector, both admitted that they had not planned for the bishop to speak aft CT they had received letters from Bishop Naming, head of the Pro- testant Episcopal diocese of New York, inhibiting the former bishop of Arkansas from speaking in any Of the churches of the diocese.
 Throughout the greater part Of yesterdays services however the change in plans was kept from the congregation. When Dr. Guthrie, after defending Bishop Brown and ridicuing trials for hersey, finally announced that the white haired man sitting silent on the platform before the yelled altar would not address them, many persons in the audience departed.
 Later Dr. Guthrie told reporters that he had decided late Saturday afternoon to withdraw his invitation to Bishop Brown, although that morning he had inserted paid ad- yertisement in the newspaper an nouncing that the bishop would speak. The statement he had is' sued Saturday night in defense ot his right to defy Bishop Manning'' inhibition, he said, was phrasct "very carefully so as not fo sa! whether Bishop Brown would ol would not speak.
 T wanted to give the impression that he would without saying SO, Dr. Guthrie added.
