WESTERN WAYS TOO MUCH
 FOR THIS CHINAWOMAN

| A strange domestc conflict, which had Its origin in the instinctive divergence of Orient and Occident, was smoothed over Sunday when Mary Seung, 5l years old, agreed to a settlement of the divorce suit she instituted last May against her husband, John Seung, 63 years old, wealthy canneryman of Se- attle and Alaska The signing of a stipula- 1 ton, which will be filed in court, was an nounced by the attorney for the plaintiff, according to the Seattle Post -lntelhgencer of January G.
 The case was not without sensational fea- | tures Before the divorce suit was filed Mary Seung was charged with insanity, the com plaint sworn to by Miss Jane M Skif, head of the Chinese Baptist mission, in which Mrs. Seung's stepchildren were students. First committed to the asylum, largely through the testimony of her two stepdaughters, Mrs. Seung at 8 subsequent hearing was found sane and freed Then she started divorce proceedings
 The stipulation between the couple, who were married in China thirty years ago. was not divulged in all its details, but in cluded 1t is understood, 8 cash settlement of about $l0000 It was announced, how ever, that John Seung had agreed to main tain his wife in comfort for the rest of her days. It is agreed that the couple remain apart the wife having the old Chinese aver sion to divorce, not found among the new generations. She is at liberty to return to the village in China where she lived as a bride. Her husband owns large amount of property in this village. She undoubt edly will return, though not immediately, her attorney said.
 than twenty yhve years ago, his young wife did not accompany him. In this country he took second wife from whom several years later he was divorced He married a third time, and by his third wife had five children. The third wife died. The five children grew up in Seattle and the bustling ways of the Occident permeated them.
 The years advancing upon him, Seung wrote to China and sent for his first wife Mary She came. But she could not get along with her husbands children. Their vocabulary was made up largely of Amerl can slang and their mannerisms were Amerl- can, and consequently to be disapproved of by an orthodox Chinese mother. She could HOt tO tuC hC" SOllouHu- ings, and became Respondent
 At the first insanity hearing two of Mary Seungs stepchildren appeared as witnesses, and also as interpreters Mary Seung could 1 speak no English. The commission pro. | nounced her insane. She then engaged an attorney, who procured a rehearing on ha, beas corpus proceedings. At the second hearing she had her own interpreter, and succeeded in persuadng the physicians that
 there there was nothing the matter with hel intellect. In the divorce suit she charged her husband with cruelty and support
 Now that all legal difficulties are settled
 Mary Senng assured of the ordinary com
 forts of life, will go back to the home o
 her ancestors, to find solace in the ways o
 a hoary antiquity. Her five stepchildre1
 will remain with their father, going .heil
 own Occidental way.

Indicted as White Slayer

The only matter presented to the district court yesterday was the true bill found by the grand jury against Harry Againsky, charging him in six counts with violation of the white slave traffic act, says a recent issue of the Juneau Dispatch. The indict- ment recites an instance of the defendant causing to be transported Jennie Kline, otherwise known as Babe Brown, from An chorage to Juneau for the purpose of pros titution. Another count charges that he caused his wife to be transported to Juneau from Cordova for similar purpose. Agsin- sky's wife was known as Babe Brown, the woman murdered few weeks ago on Doug las Island Other indictments against Againsky charged him with receiving the earnings of his wife who was practicing prostitution in Douglas Island.

THE LEWIS GUN

Official condemnation of the Lewis ma chine gun, extensively purchased for the British and Canadian armies, is Npressed m formal statement issued by Secretary of War Baker, assuming full responsibility for the action of the war department with respect to the much discussed weapon, and directing that controversy among army ot- hcers over 1t cease, says a Washington dls- patch.
 The statement shows that the inspector general was directed to investigate the whole matter of the treatment of the Lewis gun, named after its inventor, former army officers, and board of officers already had agreed with previous boards that the gun was not suitable for extensive purchase for the army.
 The inspector generals conclusions ar" reported in the official statement The sec retarv states that he finds no official record that Colonel Lewis ever offered hls gun m any way to the United States govern ment; that the American Arms Company, in 1913. made the only offer of 100 guns at $l0O0 each, with license for govern ment manufacture on a royalty basis; that tests of the gun were conducted in the regularly constituted boards; that the Say age Arms Company, in April of last year, wrote General Crozier. chief of ordnance, expressing entire satisfaction with the work of the last board; that the guns failure 10 pass its endurance test caused its eX clusion from field tests and finally, that -'the records do not show any hostility on the part of General Crozier of the ordnance department toward the Lewis gun, but do show that the department by direction of its chief, accorded the owners of the gun every possible facility in placing it before the testing board'

BARNEY TELLS ALL ABOUT IT

Many obstacles are overcome by the placer but it remained for Barney" Walsh, of Willow creek, in the ldtarod district, to establish "cold storage reservoir on a mountain top in winter, thus insuring 8 water supply for summer To accomplish this Walsh built several miles of fence to impound snow which otherwise would be swept away by the winter winds.
 Walsh is an old-timer in the North. and has been in every camp of note since the klondike rush He has just arrived here on his way Outside for look around and an opportunity to spend some of his Sum nit gold, that being the name of his claim, which is so remarkable that it has been given special mention in the Geological Sur vey report of the territory.
 The discoverer of the claim despared of working it because of the altitude, it being on bench high above the creek and near the summit of a ridge.
 Walsh remembered the snow fences in the Rocky mountain sections There the fences are built to keep the snow from drifting of the ntains and into the railroad cuts He decided that something similar could be used to keep the snow from drifting away from a given area thus insuring a water supply when it melted in summer. The scheme worked. and each year he has water for sixty days of slulcing during June and July Seward Post.

Preparing to Use Alaska Coal

The Nenana News says that while praC- tically every section of Interior Alaska Is awaiting the coming of coal, and will con- sume large quantities of the fuel when 1t is available. the war department already is actually preparing to install coal burners and arranging for the construction of build ings for the storage of fuel. Advices from the army post at Fort Gibbon indicate that large coal-burning central heating plant will be installed there during the coming summer, and the officers in charge of the several telegraph stations along the river have been requested to furnish estimates of the cost of erecting buildings for the storage of coal All of which encourages the belief that the department will be among the first to purchase coal and will be 8 large consumer. Sergeant Mulkins of the local signal corps station is now busy with the plans of a building which is to be erected on the rear of the lot occupied by the telegraph office The building will con- tain large storage bins for coal, and there will also be room for a small stable work shop and place for the storage of sup plies There is a probability that a heat ing plant for the office building will also be installed come time during the coming sum- mer Similar preparations are also un doubtedly being made at Fairbanks, where the wood problem has assumed very seri ous proportions. Reports from that town state that the creeks are being drained of their supply of fuel in order that the fires in town may be kept burning; and another season probably will find the gold output of the camp materially reduced unless op- orators can secure coal for steaming pur poses.

 A WAR HORROR

Josephine Barthelemy, aged 20, killed her baby. Today she stood acquitted of the crime by jury of Frenchmen, and was applauded by her compatriots, says recent dispatch from Paris.
 The reason was that Josephine's baby had a German father. That is why l killed it," she told the jury, Her story is one of many which have been heard in France of girls attacked by soldiers, and of unwel- come babies.
 The girls lawyer appealed to the jury which tried her for infanticide with the plea, Would you condemn this girl for stifiing the life of child of one of those who killed Frances sons and violated Frances daughters?"

has opened the doors of Harvard. one
of rhe most conservative universities III

Harvard has opened her medical
school to women as war measure

told the United Press in an interview
today.
But medical education for women
has come to stay. There is undoubtedly
a place for women in the profession"
he added
The war is calling thousands of our
medical men to service students ready
TO enter medical schools have been
drafted. Something must he done to
make up the shortage and we look to
our women to solve the problem
DR.. Bradford declared England Is
facing serious shortage of physi-
clans. This country must guard
against such conditions.
While our medical men are being
called to the front" The continued
there is much to be done here at home
Our women physicians and our sons
must prepare to carry on the work.
"The qualifications for entrance at
Harvard are high, but duly qualified
women students will be admitted.
They will follow the same courses pre-
scribed for men. They will receive
their DEGREES from Radcliffe
Then women have already applied
for admittance.
