COURT PUCES BAH OH DIVORCE PACTS 'Re f uses Divorce in Coppock Case Because of Such an ' Agreement.

Very interesting was the testimony produced in the hearing of the su!t for divorce of Pearl G. Coppock versus Chester Coppock in the Wayne circuit court this morning. After listening to the testimony of the important witnesses Judge Fox declared that he "ould not grant a divorce and would r no 'further testimony, despite e plea of the attorney for the piainL Although , cruel and inhuman treatfcnt and failure to provide were th arges contained in the complaint Tier ; incidents were brought out aich made the case more interesting. bout one year ago the defendant in this suit filed a divorce action charg

ing his .wife with being. guilty of infidelity.' The complaint was withdrawn some time ago and shortly afterward Mrs. Coppock filed her divorce suit. In testifying today the defendant declared that an agreement had been 'made between his wife and himself at a law office to the effect that Coppock would not Oppose any suit for divorce !his wife might file and that he would leave town providing his wife after her divorce would never marry a man of Catholic faith, as he said he did ! not wish his child to be taken into the ' Catholic church. The defendant dei clared that this was agreed to, but I -when papers were drawn up, the plaintiff refused to sign them. He said he Vthen decided to oppose her divorce. It was ' after Coppock had testified jto this that Judge Fox made the stateIxnent that he would refuse a decree, Baying, "This court will not grant a divorce when it is known that an I agreement has been made between the ' two parties to secure a divorce.

Mrs. , Coppock is now employed at

the Stlllwell hotel, in the capacity of ! cook. Mtb. Mary A. Stillwell, who is obliged 1 to use a crutch in walking, testified in favor of tile plaintiff. She declared that prior to the separation of the plaintiff and defendant the ; plaintiff asked for employment at the I hotel and it was given her. .Shortly afterward the defendant came into the hotel and demanded to know whether Mrs. Stillwell intended to keep this 1 plaintiff in her employment, saying that she was not fit to work any place. ' "What 'did you tell Mr. Coppock," the witness was asked. "I said,. 'You get out of here right away or I'll take my crutch and knock your head- off," was the answer. "Well . did he get out,"; the judge then queried. I should say he did." Another divorce suit was filed today, Bessie . Bunce., being the plaintiff In an action asking divorce from Harry Buncej .;and custody of their child. The complainant charged desertion. They were married in 1907 and separated in 1910.

Pitcher. Walter Johnson, of - the Washington team, looks to be the same old demon with the. fast shooters. ............ Pitcher George Mullin, of the Tigers, is out to beat Cy Young's record for years of major league pitching. The St.' Louis Browns took away a barrel of money from Chicago as their share of the gate o fthe opening series. - The major, league clubs are not giv

ing out the attendance this season, so it's now up to the scribes to make estimates. Manager Jack O'Connor of the Cleveland team in the United States "League has signed Joe Delehanty, the former Toronto player. Manager Cantillon of the Minneapolis club has appointed Dan Sweeney, the old Louisville player, custodian of the Millers' clubhouse. . The Iron-Copper Country League will open the season May 18. Calumet, Marquette, Ishpeming and Negaunee form the circuit of the lodge. The Jersey City club has a five year lease of the cricket grounds in Hamilton, Bermuda, where the Skeeters trained during the spring. The Philadelphia Nationals have had more men out of the game on account of injuries, so far this season, than any other club in the major league. The New England League go away to a good start this season, and the playing strength looks to be pretty evenly divided among the eight clubs of the league. Capt. Anson, the famous old Chicago player, has tied up with the new United states League, which will assign him to one of its eight clubs later in the season.

Interesting Relies. Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Jones are dear friends personally, and the only little tilts that ever, mar their cordial relations are over the merits and attainments of their respective husbands, each thinking her own masculine prize package about the cleverest thing that ever happened. Mrs. Jones generally manages to outdo Mrs. Brown in the quality of the feathers she puts in her hubby'is cap, but the other day Mrs. Brown put one over on her astute friend that was a clincher. "Oh, ray dear," she gushed to Mrs. Jones in an ecstasy of delight. . "I want to tell you. My husband is an enthusiastic archaeologist. And I never knew It till yesterday. I found in his desk some queer looking tickets with the inscription 'Mudhorse, 8 to 1." And when I asked him what they were he explained to me that they were relics of a lost race. Isn't It interesting?" Boston Traveler.

AWARD CONTRACTS Oil IMPROVEMENTS Board of Works Has a Busy Session with the Contractors Today. Several contracts were awarded at the meeting of the board of works this morning. The letting of the contract for improving North Seventh street was delayed. Contractor White of Greenfield, who has never bid for any work in this city before, submitted bids on this improvement, and reduced the prevailing prices from twenty to twenty-live cents on the cubic yard for brick paving." However he submitted no prices for a cement street, and contractor Hipsklnd entered a bid for a cement street at $1.50 per cubic yard. Some of the property owners along the street seem to want this kind of a street so that th board decided to hold up the improvement until the views of

the property owners were ascertained.

John Hipsklnd. secured the sanitary sewer contract for the sewer .between Fifth and Sixth streets, south of North A. The price was $1.60 per lineal foot Hipsklnd also secured the contract for a sanitary sewer north of North F street, from " twentythlrd to twentyfourth streets, at 85 cents per lineal foot. Contractor Hooten by a very narrow margin secured the contract for improving Laurel streets, the walks to cost 9 cents, the curb and gutters 54 cents each, the circle curb, and gutters cost 74 cents and the street intersections to cost 12 cents per lineal foot. Contractor Burkhardt was given the contract for the improvement of South E street from Thirteenth to Sixteenth street. The cement walks are to cost 9 5-8 cents, the cross walks 13 cents and the vitrified cross walks 5 cents per lineal foot. The board also notified city attorney Gardner to notify the T. H. I. & E. traction company officials of the condition of the bricks along the side of their tracks on the Main street bridge. The bricks are broken up, raised and sunken, and in a general condition of disrepair.

Wen by Mis WH. On one occasion a drees rehearsal at His Majesty's theater waa prolonged till the small hours of the moralng. The company grew very weary, par tlcularly a gentleman who had' been with Sir Herbert Tree In a good many productions, but who had never attained to more than a very tiny part. When the time came to rehearse his few lines he was so tired that his voice was anything bat distinct. "What's the matter. Mr. Z.T -asked Sir Herbert In his most sarcastic tones. "Are yon saving your voice for the rehearsal?" "Xo, Sir Herbert, was the retort; Tve never been able to save anything under your- management." Sir Herbert, an exceedingly witty man himself, was so pleased with the retort that the salary of the small part man was raised. London M. A. P.
