CHILDREN OF F. M. OWENS ASK DAMAGES FOR MOTHERS
 DEATH.
FATHER HELD FOR CRIME
Supreme Court Upholds Validity of Legislative Act Removing Disabii- tiles of Married Women, Giving
 Them Power to Sue.
Little Rock

Little Rock
 The Supreme Court reversed and re- manded the s75,O0O 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. s. 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 $50.000 from Owens. and the children asked judg- ment of $25, ,000 from their father. 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 woman may maintain an action against her hus- band to recover damages for acts com 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. Laprairie against the City of Hot Springs, a suit instigated to test the power of municipalities to levy occupation 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.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
ADVANCE IN PRICE OF STOCKS. As Result of British Premier's DecIa-
 ration of Attitude Toward Peace.

New York, Dec. 19.-The stock mar kets initial response to the address of the British premier, defining the at titude of his government toward Ger many's proposal of peace negotiations, was sweeping advance of 2 to 5 points in prominent issues, followed aI- most immediately by reversal of as much or more.
 On the setback which was popular1y attributed to a combinations of profit taking, short selling and liquidation by beWildered investors, quotations fell in many instances to within hailing distance of last weeks lowest levels. In fact, some of the more specula tive shares, notably Utah Copper, Central Leather some of the motors and their subsidiaries and Atlantic. Gulf and West Indies, established new mini mums for the current downward move- ment.
 Rails again resisted pressure, though less active than last week and finish ed the session at variable but net gains. They proved almost the sole exception to the general trend, being settlement of existing difficulties be- tween executives and employees
 Selling was most unrestrained in the final hour. which also witnessed low est prices of the session. The ease with which proces rebounded one to five points on short coverings was in itself regarded as proof of the extent to which professional opera tions con- tributed to the extreme declines
 United States Steel furnisheI more than it's usual quota to the days op- erations, the turnover in that stock approximating 570,000 shares, or al- most one-thir1 of the whole. This ex- ceeded by more than ten-fold the of ferings of any other issue. Total sales aggregated 1,759 900 shares
 Such constructive developments as the declaration of an initial dividend on Republic Iron and Steel common, receipt of another large instalment of British gold from Canada and renewal of inquiries for steel and coppers were ignored in the more exciting inci- dents of the day
 Aside from another shading of in ternational issues, the bond market failed in any marked essential to re- fleet the stock market. Total sales (pal value), amounted to $3,240,000. U. s. bonds unchanged on call.

The letter men of the candidates for the Trinity college baseball team today elected Edward F. Murray of Norwich, a member of the class of 1918, captain of the team to succeed Edward C.. Mckay of Norwich, who was elected to the place last spring, who was elected to the place last spring, but who did not return to col lege, making this unusual winter choice of captain necessary. Murray has played three years on the team at shSrtstop and is member of D. K. B. and of the sophomore dining club.
 He is a brother of Jimmy Murray who explained the team several years ago and plays short stop, the same position held down by his brother.
 With Coach Jimmy Burns at the helm it will be necessary to put to- gether a practically new baseball nine to represent the Hill college on the diamond in the spring. Kenney '19, and Leeke IS. who played in a DOT ton of the games last spring, are the only two men besides Murray who have had any varsity experience. The hard-hitting outfeld of the team of 1916 will be sadly missed, but there is good material in college for a snappy tnfield. Prescott seems to be the only possible pitcher at present with the possibility of Brickley, who twirled in couple games on the southern trip last year.
