Mary Woods, of Ann Arbor, has filed an application for divorce from William E. Woods, of Detroit. I her petition she avers that they were married in Lansing, Sept. 23, 1897, and that for only a short period since that time has William performed the duties incumbent upon a husband. She states that he has neglected to provide for her support, spending his money lavishly in going to dances and parties with other women, while she is compelled to do washing, housecleaning and divers other menial services in order to earn a livelihood for herself and child. Woods is said to be a clerk in the employ of the city of Detroit and earning $,1000 per year. She asks for temporary alimony and the custody of her child. The parties are colored and Woods was at one time a member of the Cuban Giants baseball team.
