MORE JERSEY JUSTICE.

A new, modern and valuable contri- button to jurisprudence hgain has been made by Jersey justice" That state has furnished precedent for the decision in one of the most hot ly disputed issues of domestic life. Vice Chancellor Leaning is the man who has settled the knotty question and laid down a rule which, if fol- lowed and accepted by the public as well as by the courts, will stop for ever dispute which has cropped up at all times and in all ages.
 A husband was in the habit of com blaming bitterly when he came home in the evening and found no meals prepared and no wife at hand to cook them. He carried his complaint to the point that his wife had him hauled into court to answer charges of cruel treatment preferred by her. She wanted a separation and she al so wanted the court to decree her a share of her husbands income for her maintenance when separated from him.
 The vice chancellor, with all of the evidence before him, decided that if the husband lodged at home he should pay his wife $7.00 a week. If he got his meals at home he should pay his wife $500 additional, making the net total for his board and lodging 5000 week.
 So much for the husbands obliga- tions. On the other hand, however, he decided that if the wife neglected or refused to furnish and cook the husbands meals, presumably at the regular and customary times, he should not be compelled to pay her a cent. Whether there was sliding scale provided, by which a certain amount of the weekly compensation should be deducted from each miss ing meal, does not appear in the sum- mary of the decision.
 The main principle of the decision, with the necessary corrections on account of varying incomes, is one which appeals to the abstract sense of justice. It might we'll be accept ed as the basis for settling existing family disputes, without the neces- sity of referring them to the courts for judicial determination.--Seat Post-Intelligencer.

STRONG SUPPORT
 F0R MRS SAILING Parents of Scholars In Her Grade Ask School Board To Continue
 Her In Charge.

The parents of all the scholars in the class of the Valdez school now taught by Mrs. Sailing, with the ex ception of c. c. Rudolph, have signed a petition to the school board asking for the retention of that teacher, ac, cording to a statement made to the Prospector by MT. Wendler, who cir culated the petition.
 It is claimed by the parents that Mrs. Sailing has done exceptional work during the past season and that she should be retained. The on ly objection so far raised against hel is the fact that she is a married wo man.
 The schol board meets Wednesday night to elect the teaching staff fol next year. Professor Davis has put in an application for reappointment and Miss Toy Spence and Mrs. Kel sey are also applicants for reappoint ment. Mrs. Davis has not made any application for reappointment.

 Congress May Be Called Into Session.
 It is understood that the members of congress may be called into ses- sion in a few days as the situation is exceedingly grave. While Presi- dent Wilson has refused to make any statement yet the fact that the con- gressional party now in Hawaii have prepared for instant return and have chartered a ship so as to make all possible speed to San Francisco in- dicates that the government has ad- vised the members of congress to be in readiness.
 Cabinet To Meet
 The members of the presidents cabinet will meet today and tomor- row. Nothing will be announced re- garding the conclusions of the presi- dents advisers, but the matter of calling congress into session will be decided some time today or tomor- row.

German Dogs Hunt Grain.

A new breed of dogs is being train ed in Germany to scent hidden sup plies of grain smuggled away in hay stacks to avoid seizure by the Ger man government agents, according to The Augsburger Postzeitung.
 "A we'll known dog fancier," the paper says, has succeeded in train ing number of police dogs in a short time in such a manner that they have been able to render admir- able assistance to the agents charged with the control of grain and flour supplies. These dogs are able to dis cover flour or grain even if it is con- cealed many metres beneath hay stacks, and so to unearth the snug gling. The dogs have already been turned over to the authorities and will shortly be acquired by them for use in this valuable patriotic service J

Count Bernstorff Silent.

NEW YORK, May 10.-Count Bern storff, German ambassador to the Un- ited States, refuses to make any statement on the sinking of the Lu- sitania. The German ambassador is indifferent to the comments adverse to Germany which are appearing in the publicc press of the United States. State Governors Appeal for Neutral
 ..- ity.. a.
 The governors of twenty states to- day issued proclamations to the peo- pie asking them to refrain from talking about the sinking of the Lu- sitania and retaliation by the United States. The situation in many states is acute. The police have been kept busy protecting the lives and prop erty of Germans and Austrians from attack by Americans or English, French and Russian nationals, who are bitter.

GERMANS DESRROY
 BRITISH CITY ZeppeIins Set WestcIiff On Fire By Dropping 100 Bombs-Forts Drive
 Airmen Away.

LONDON, May 10.-German Zeppe lins and aeroplanes raided the south of England today and bombarded Westcliff, which is only thirty miles from this city. One man was killed as a result of the bomb-dropping, but the city was set on fire in score of places and large partt of the town was destroyed.
 The aviators dropped more than 100 bombs. The British army aviat. ors were unable to combat the en. emy because of the large number of Zeppelins in use which mounted pow erful machine guns protecting the aeroplane operators. The guns of the forts finally drove the Germans away and they sailed across the North sea, dropping a few bombs near British ships in the coast ports.

Insurance Rates Go Upward.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1O.-Be- cause of the fear that the United States may become involved in the war through the sinking of the Lusi- tania and other acts of the German admiralty, besides the threatened rupture between the United States and Japan because of the determina- tion of Japan to control the Chinese republic, insurance rates on all ships on the Pacific coast have been doub- led. Coasting vessels are also fore ed to pay an increase. The act of the marine insurance companies carries with it more weight than the jingo press and it is realized now the situ- ation is really critical.
 American Boats Recalled.
 It is reported that the Robert Dol lar line, operating steamers under the Chinese flag, have ordered all their ships to remain in American ports. Ships in Chinese waters have been ordered to the Philippines to re- main until the result of the present trouble is ascertained.

COPENHAGEN, May lO.-Tne press of Germany state that no long CT will the people of England sheer at the German navy and refuse to
 heed warnings given to the people of Great Britain; that for every German
 starved as a result of the blockade
 maintained by Great Britain to pre- vent food supplies reaching the civil ian population of Germany. England must pay two-fold. The failure Of the British to heed the protest made to England through the medium Of the American ambassador is given as sufficient justification for the sinking of the merchant ship. The fact that the vessel carried munitions of war is also given as justification for the act. The loss of non-combatants IS regretted, but is justified because of their failure to heed the repeated warnings which were given up to the time of the sailing of the Lusitania,

Lusitania Carried War Munitions.
 WASHINGTON, May 10.-Experts on international law in this city state that the sinking of the Lusitania was a more justifiable war measure than the sinking of the British ship Fala. ba, because the Cunarder carried war munitions valued at $250,OO0, which while in itself is no violation of the rules of war, yet justifies the sinking as a war measure. The loss of the American citizens, however, and the refusal to allow the passengers few minutes to leave the boat all com. plicate the situation.
