MiRTINEILI IN HARTFORD

The most cherished possession of Giovanni Martneli the great Ital- ian tenor of the Metropolitan Opera company who will sing here at the Capitol theatcr, Hartford, tomorrow afternoon, the concert beginning at 3 o'clock, Is telegram from Enrico 'aruSo congratulating Martinelli on being honorcd by the Italian king. The reason why this is so precious
 is twofold. First it was the first di- rect message to anyone outside his immediate family sent by Caruso
 after that illness in New York which later proved fatal. and second it represents the last communication between the two great tenors.
 Martinelli joined the Netropolitan
 exactly 10 years after Caruso. and
 although he sang many Caruso roles
 there was never any of the usual
 jealousy between the two who all
 ways considered that they were ri-
 vals in art, each trying 10 do his
 best, but in no sense personal rivals
 or enemies. Seats and boxes will be

HUSBAND FILES FIFTY
EXCEPTIONS TO OPINION
Court Had Suggested Man Stop
Litigation to Reduce Ali
mony Payments.

Alexander j. Wedderburn, jr., a
patent, attorney. has filed so excep-
tions to a recent opinion of Justice
Frederick L. Siddons of the District
Supreme Court disposing of an ap-
plication of Mrs. Lottie S. Wedder-
burn for maintenance. The court had
suggested that applications by the
husband to reduce the alimony, which
had numbered as many as II, should
cease, and intimated that the hus-
bands conduct in continuing litiga-
ton was detrimental TO the welfare
of the children. The court also sound
ed warning that more drastic action
might be taken against the husband
unless he dessts from his futile mo-
tionS.
Wedderburn says the findings of the
court are not supported by the evil
dence and are contrary to law. He
especially objects to the statement
that he was actuated by motives other
than the love of his children; that he
intended to harass his wife and that
his continued litigation is detriment-
al to the children.
