JUDGE DENIES
 ! DIVORCE PLEA
Finds Petitioner Had Con- doned Wife's Offenses
 Just Prior to Trial
cSpyrlght: l9s7. NEA Service, Inc. }

Nlnding that James Riccardo of thD city had condoned the offenses of This wife less than 8 month be- fore trial of his action for divorce against her, Superior Court Judge Frank P. McEvoy today denied his petition, which was directed against Mrs. Virginia Murray Riccardo. Trial of the action was conducted here two weeks ago, with Judge McEYey handing down the decision eer! today. s %s'
 Judge McEvoy recognizes the de- fense which established the facts that on February l, 1887, the de- fendant had returned here in re- sponse to the urgent request of the plaintiff, and had shared bed and board as man and wife, all of which condones any claim of breach of marital duty. The couple was mar ried March 26, 1886.
 The petitioner. claimed his wife had been guilty of intolerable cruelty, habitual intemperance, and desertion, June 10. 1886. The intol- erable cruelty and intemperance is said to have occurred between April 10 and June 10.
 Judge McEvoy in his memoran- dunn decision comments that the evidence clearly establishes that be- tween the dates alleged the defend- ant was guilty of habitual intemper- ance, and this was sufficient to constitute intolerable cruilty. Judge ,McEvoy also says the evidence es- tablishes reasonabel foundatoin for the special defense of conformation. Attorney A. Henry Weisman ap- peared for the plaintiff, with Mon agan 6 Monagan defending.

STRAND

A brilliant cast headed by Joan Crawford, William Powell and Rob- ert Montgomery appear in "The Last of Mrs. Cheyney" which heads a dandy twin feature program at Warmers Strand today, to Satur- day.
 The story, ultra modern as stage play, has been advanced to the cur rent minute in dialogue and at- mosphere so that it is more than ever smart and sophisticated.
 Miss Crawford portrays the charming American widow in Lon- don society with finesse, and Will liam Powell is excellent as the suave butler who is in reality a crook. Robert Montgomery portrays the young English lord who falls in love with the American girl, only to find her under suspicion of jewel theft.
 The companion feature is "Clar- ence" with Roscoe Karns, Eugene Palette, Eleanore Whitney and Johnny Downs, Booth. Tarkington's $ comedy of life in the great Ameri- can home. It's funnier than ever in its screen guise.

FOLLOW YELITIS
 NOTICE ISSUED
 BY HEALTH DEPT.
Information Relative to Di- sease Given Out by Offic-
 ials in Checking Spread

The following notce was issued by the Territorial Health Depart ment today:
 The Health Department has re- ceived great many inquiries for information concerning Poliomye- litis, or Infantile Paralysis, there fore, this information is released by the Department of Health. The dis ease is transmitted direct from a case or carrier, or indirectly by con- tact with articles freshly soiled with nose or throat discharges. Where the case is severe, the onset is sud- den with fever, headache, frequent vomiting, stiffness and pain in the neck. tenderness on being handled Paralysis develops usually after 4s hours, although there is a sudden appearance of weakness and para lysis of one or more groups of mus cles.
 It is estimated in recent epidem- 1cs that paralysis only occurs in about one case out of eight, the other cases being so mild they are never diagnosed. The disease is not highly contagious and does not spread rapidly except in very hot weather. Epidemics usually die out with the advent of cold weather.
 Two years ago we had four or five cases of Infantile Paralysis develop in villages along the Alaska Penin- sula. These evidently were trans mitted by carrier following the trade route. They occurred during the winter and no more than one case ever occurred in the same vil- lage, showing that it does not spread rapidly.
 There is no cause for the people or Juneau to become panicky over the case here, and there is no jus tiflcation for keeping the children out of school unless they should nave come into actual contact with the case. All such actual contacts should be isolated until all danger of contraction of the disease by them is passed.
 The Health Department has iso- lated all the children who are known to De contacts and these children Will be kept isolated until the full length of the incubation period is up.
