REVOKES DIVORCE SUIT DISMISSAL - Difficulty of getting service on Simon Buma for new case is reason
An order restoring the divorce suit of Elizabeth versus Simon Buma to the circuit court calendar and revoking an order dismissing the case was allowed by Judge George V. Weimer this morning when Stephen H. Wattles,appearing as Mrs. Buma's attorney, petitioned for revocation of the dismissal. The suit was removed from the calendar as a no-progress case, but Mr. Wattles insisted that progress had been made in the matter during the past year, as Buma had for a time paid temporary alimony to his wife. It would be difficult to get personal service on Buma again, he said, if a new divorce suit were started, as the man has left the state and cannot be found. It was declared by Mr. Wattles that Buma had left Michigan in anticipation of action to be taken against him for non-payment of alimony.

DIVORCES MAN SHE EDUCATED
"When my sister lived with her husband, he didn't support her: she supported him," declared Mrs. Mary Waldo testifying in the divorce suit brought by Mrs. Elizabeth Buma, her sister, against Simon Buma, which was heard before Judge George V. Weimer in circuit court Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. Buma testified that her husband did not like to work, and that she worked instead, and used her earnings to pay his way through the Moody Bible Institute at Chicago. Her husband wanted to be an evangelist, she said, but failed to make a success of the work, and after being connected with a rescue mission here for a time, was turned out because of his intimacy with women other than his wife.
Buma enlisted in the Navy while the war was in progress, Mrs. Buma said, and received his discharge in 1919. Soon after that he left her and went to Detroit, and since April, 1919, has contributed only seventeen dollalrs toward the support of his wife and five-year-old daughter.
An order for temporary alimony was made, but he paid only a little on the order, Mrs. Buma said, and soon left the state. She believes he is now in Massachusetts. She was given a divorce.
