APPEAL IN GOULD SUIT ARGUED.
Effort to Bar Helen Mars Testimony in
Separation Action Before Appellate Division.

The Howard Gould separation suit up again
Yesterday, when Mrs. Goulds appeal from order
permitting a witness TO be examined in behalf
OF her husband was argued in the Appellate Di-
vision of the Supreme Court Justice FitzGerald
had issued an order that Helen Mar could be ex-
amined. Mrs Gould's motion TO set aside that or
der was denied by2 Justice O'Gorman at Special
Term on December 10.
Clarence j. Shearn appearing for Mrs Gould
contended that an affidavit based on belief and
information was not sufficient to bring in the tes
tinlony of a witness taken before the trial. He
said: I'm an action for separation evidence of mis-
conduct on the part of either plaintiff or defendant
before marriage is immaterial and irrelevant 1t
will hardly be claimed that misconduct prior to the
marriage is a Justification for abandonment eight
years after marriage"
IN her afiidavits Helen Mar alleged wrongdoing
on the part of Mrs. Gould before her marriage

Peace hath her naval disasters nc less costly than war. Strange how men in responsible positions. promoted to those positions presumably through long service aud experience, will nevertheless arrive at those positions SO poorly fitted for command that, in mere maneuvers of boats ou calm sea ard with no enemy In sight to confuse or distract, they eau deliber- ately order one boat to run into another through simple miscalculstiOn ot distance or other error, as was done in the csse of the Dreadnaught, and again the other day in the coming to- gethec of scout boat and a torpedo boat of the English navy. Add to this sort of thing the explosions occurring and recently reported in English, Jap, American and other navies, and the cost of lives to the service is as great in practice as ln the real thing.

Editor D-iIy Alaskan;

II we wpl get together in this movement we will see results in a very little while that will repay every citizen a thOus. and fold. Gwould like to see a perman' eut organization formed to carry on the work suggested *~' T. am from town in Southern Indiana where just such a movement was ur dertakeu. It was SO slovenly in appearance that travelling men avoided lt for all stop-overs when they could. The citizens themselves did not realize what an uusightly place 1t was until aroused to start clean-up and now IL is one of the prettIest towns in the state. Once started there was nc stopping the movement. Let us dc th.s for Skagway.

THE "BEAvTIFUL SElGHAY" IDEA

The Beautiful Skagway idea has met with much favor. The thing to do is to keep pushing the idea along. There is everything to gain from very little oEor,-eTOrs that will be as pleasursble as the realization of the purpose of it.
 The suggestions of two more cOrres- pOudeuts made in communications to tae Alaskan are excellent and the Al askau will be pleased to receive and pub fish any and all communic ,tiOns touch iug the interesting subiecI-provided they be no, too long. The Alaskan can put iuto type only so many words each dav-aud they are not nearly so many as it would like to aud not nearly so D any as it expects to in a very little while when the pIaos formed for its own extensive be,terment can be put into practice-and this is the cause of many trials of which the eader is un- aware. But that is another story. It is ideas and not mere words that is wanted in this matter. The suggest- iors made today are, first, that there be called 8 meeting for the organization of a permanent improvement club, such as is seen in nearly all large cities for dis cussing ways and means of beautifying the city and then organizing the city for carrying out the plans. The other suggests that day be named when all hands shal, be called upon to join in a general cleaning up or planting cam paign.
 These are ideas that are in practice elsewhere and to great and good results. A little while ago the city Of Seattle was one of the most uukempt of cities. The Post-Tntelligenc-r undertook to work a change through shaming it's citizens into it. PhOto> graphs were taken Of a vacant lot On one of tho principal highways and re- produced iu ,be paper, showing a disrraraf,I condition The name of the owner was given and he was called upon to remove the eye sore for the sake of the city's pride. He did SO. Another place was attacked in the same way, So notable vas the change that very soon the whole city rose up for a Clearer Seattle and the move meat was so effective that the enter. prise and it's results attracted the attention of other cities, magazine writers euthused over Its success and through them lhe whole country be- came aware that a new Seattle had been created. Let us turn iu to make Skagway the beautiful and historic city Of Alaska. Not the shame out the pride and pleasure of the people need only be appealed to.
