SUPREME COURT REVERSED AND REMINDED SUIT AGAINST
 F. Nj. OWENS.
CRIME HELD AGAINST FATHER
Decision Upheld Validity of Law En- acted By Last Legislature Removing Disabilities of Married Women
 Giving Them Power to Sue.
Little Rock


 The Supreme Court reversed and re- manded the S75,O00 damage suit in stituted in the Helena Circuit Court against F. M. Owens, who, it is charg- ed, killed his wife in Helena some months ago and is now in jail await ing trial. After the killing, c. $. Fitzpatrick, who was appointed ad- ministrator for Mrs. Owens estate, filed suit in behalf of the state and the six children. The suit on behalf of the estate asked s50.000 from Ovens, and the children asked judg- ment of $25,0O0 from their father. The Supreme Courts decision upheld the validity of the law enacted by the last Legislature removing the disabil- ities of married women, giving them the power to sue and be sued
 When the suit was filed in the lower court a demurrer was filed on the grounds that the right of action on the part of either the administrator or the next kin was not set forth. The de- murrer was sustained. The decision of the Supreme Court was called upon to determine whether a woman may maintain an action against her hus- band to recover damages for acts con- mitted by him, and the Supreme Court, acting under the act of the last Leg islature, held that she did. The yer dict of the lower court in sustaining the demurrer was reversed with in- structions to overrule the demurrer and for further proceedings.
 The court refused to dismiss the appeal in the case of Chas. Laprairse against the City of Hot Springs, a suit instigated to tex The power of municipalities to levy <ccupation tax measures. The motion to dismiss the appeal was made on the grounds of insufficient abstracting. The courts ruling on the merits Of the case will be of more than minor importance, as Little Rock and several other cities have enacted ordinances similar to the Hot Springs instrument to produce revenues to supplant that lost through enactment of the statewide prohibition law.
