Mrs. Mary Wearne, who filed suit yesterday in district court for a di vorce charging extreme cruelty against Dr. Frederick J. Wearne, prominent physician and surgeon. Wife of Prominent Omaha Physician, Surgeon and Capitalist, Says He Abused Her. Dr. Frederick J. Wearne, prom inent physician and surgeon, was sued for divorce yesterday in district court by his wife, Mrs. Mary Wearne, on charges of extreme cruelty. Dr. Wearne, besides his prom inence in medical circles, is a capital ist. He fa vice president of the Bankers Realty Investment com pany, and president of Wearne Brothers foundry, 1409 Jackson street. His offices are at 830 City Na tional bank building. He is asso ciated with Dr. J. P. Lord and is a surgeon at the Lord Lister and the Ford hospitals, i . , Mrs. Wearne charges that her husband, "some time after their mar riage, being of a vile disposition and, having a violent temper, be came abusive, continually complain ing of the plaintiff ..without just cause." i Says He Cursed Her. On one occasion,, in June, 1917, she alleges fie cursed at her in public in the presence and hearing of their friends, wounding her feel ings and causing her mortification and shame.. She says this alleged conduct so undermined her health that she was compelled to go to California for a rest on account of her nervous con dition. She says that after a year and a half in California, she re turned to Dr. Wearne, but that he continued as before and that she found it impossible to live with him. She alleges that his extreme cruelty, angry words, exhibitions of violent temper and profane language have made married life with him intol erable. She says she suffers constantly 111 and that to continue longer to Jive with him will make her a nervous wreck. ' She asks to have her maiden name, Babcock, restored to her.. Married in 1908. They were married August 19, 1908. Mrs. Wearne, - prior to her marriage to the doctor, was Mrs. Fannie Mary Fries? according to the marriage license. The s cere mony was performed by Rev. Ed win Hart jenks, pastor of the First Tresbyterian church. Dr. and Mrs. Wearne have no children. Dr. Wearne is . living at . the Blackstone hotel with his mother. Mrs. Wearne is at the home of her parents. Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Bab cock, 3311 Hamilton street.' This is the second divorce suit filed -against a prominent Omaha physician in the last two weeks. The other was the suit of Sophia Helene McDermott against Dr. Bernard A. McDermott, filed 10 days ago. Neither Dr. Wearne nor his wife would say anything about the suit today. Determined efforts were made to keep the news of it out of the papers. Zimman and Mayor Differ on Legality of Raise for Firemen A difference of opinion exists among city officials as to whether the 1919 state session laws author ize the city council to increase the pay of city firemen beyond the present salary of $125 per month. , Commissioner Zimman, in charge of the fire department, holds the view that a state statute gives the city council such power, and Mayor Smith contends that the city- will have to go to the legislature again to legally get an increase.' The firemen ask for an increase from $125 to $150 per month. There is no money now available for that purpose, but Mr. Zimman told the men that when the 1920 budget is considered the matter will be given due attention. Grocers Will Discontinue Two Hours Sunday Opening Grocers will discontinue opening two hours Sunday mornings, be cause the summer season is over and the need for the Sunday morn ing opening has passed. The mayor, during the early summer, issued an order suspending the Sunday clos ing ordinance for two hours each Sunday morning, to enable citizens to buy milk and other food' prod ucts which must be kept on ice. The mayor's order has ceased to be operative for this season. May Lose Leg for Gallantry. Alfred E.
