 Consideration

Alpena, Mich. Aug. if P)--Mrs. Edna J. Scott returned 10 Detroit
 today to continue her quest for a livelihood, while Judge Frank Ener- lck took under consideration the bill of her congressman husband, Frank D. Scott for an absolute divorce.
 Despite pleas yesterday that the
 $50 a month from her husband al- lowed by the court pending final settlement of the case, is insufficient to provide her with the necessities
 of life, Judge EmeIick refused to increase the amount.
 Ward H. Peck told the court that
 the publicity that has arisen from
 the hearing of the divorce action
 has prevented Mrs. Scotts gaining
 employment as a nurse or in any capacity for which she is fitted.
 He said that her application for reinstatement as member of the nurses association in Detroit had been tabled, pending settlement of the divorce suit and that every De- troit physician who she had asked for employment had said he could rot give Her cases now because of the publicity that has arisen. Efforts to obtain employment in Detroit de- partment stores and hotels and with real estate firms had met with like rehuffs, Mrs. Scott said.
 Judge Emcricll, however, said he would not change his original honor tor temporary elimony. The single ray ot hope extended to Mrs. Scott was Judge Emerick's assertion that he would make an early decision which would make some permanent provision, one way or another for Mrs. SCotts urkeep.
 EXtravagance and "serious legal and moral indiscretionS' on the part of Mrs. Scott were charged by the eleventh district congressman as reasons why he should be granted decree. 'Ire. Scott made a fiat de- nial of oIl these charges and in her cross bill alleged gambling and 
 Three men were mentioned as fac tors in Mrs. Scott's alleged indiscre- tons, Captain Wilbur Sumner of tho army air service, Harry Wyckon. a clerk at the Wardmar Park hotel Washington and an unknown man. whom Mrs, Scott Is said to have met in Europe.
 In addition to these an effort was made to show that she had enter tained In her room at night a Gu- bert RensinGer, of Washington, This. however, was subsequent to her separation from MT. Scott.
