WIFE MAY SUE FOR
 SEPARATE ALLOWANCE

United States District Judge Rob ert W. Jennings yesterday made. a rul- ing in which he held that in Alaska. notwithstanding the absence of a stat ute covering the case, an abandoned wife may sue her husband for sepa. rate maintenance.
 In makin gthe decision, Judge Jen. nings held that the common law which makes husband responsible for his wife's debts. and the authority inher- ent in a court of equity giving it fur isdiction for the securing of right or the prevention of wrong where there is no other plain, speedy, and adequate remedy" and, also jurisdiction where necessary "to prevent multiplicity of suits" gives it authority to enter tain a suit in Alaska by q wife for separate maintenance.
 In case where a husband has giv. en notice to merchants, for instance, that he will not be responsible for his wife's debts or where. for other req. sons, merchants refuse to give credit to q wife, or, if giving credit, where each merchant would have to maintain a separate suit against the husband to secure payment of his account, the court holds that a suit for separate maintenance by the wife is a logical and legal way to secure right, pre- vent wrong and avoid a multiplicity of suits.
 The ruling was made on a demurrer to the Jurisdiction of the court in a suit initiated by Tina Schlothan, of Ketchikan, through Charles H. Cos grove, of that place. her attorney, against her husband. William F. schlo- than. The demurrer was over-ruled.
 The court, also, as basis for the de- cision, holds that it is the policy of the law to discourage divorces, and, if in case of abandonment a wife's only relief should be held to be through alimony, she would be en- couraged to sue for divorce in order to give the court jurisdiction.
 The court also holds that "it would be a mockery to allow the wife to maintain an action for separate main tenance and, at the same time, deny her the means of procuring it." and, therefore, that she has a right to ask for attorneys fees as we'll as separ- ate maintenance.

BAND CONCERT WAS
 WELL RECEIVED

The band concert and entertain ment given by the JH.S. band in Ju. neau theatre last was, from point of excellence, a pronounced success. Every number was rendered with a spirit and finish that showed careful training and faithful practice. The audience was not so large as the en- tertainmeut deserved. but what was lacking in number was made up by evidences of appreciation, and it is some satisfaction to know that those who were present thoroughly enjoyed the performance.
 Many people, strangers in the city have remarked on the excellence of the organization. and it is doubtful if another city of the population of Ju- neau can boast a similar institution of such excellence. An effort may be made to have regular street or open air concerts during the summer months.
