.JUDGE BROWN EXPLAINS
LAW TO SEWARD WOMEN.
_____ •
On Friday afternoon last, Judge
Fred M. Brown, of the district court,
addressed the recently organized Wo
man’s Club of Seward, on “The Re
lations of the Territorial Laws of
Alaska to Women and Children Living j
in the Territory.” He urged a gen- j
eral study of the laws and especially i
those concerning women, and com- i
mended the spirit which the women |
of Seward had shown in regard to j
the laws of the land.
After the talk Judge Brown an- j
swered many questions in regard to \
points which were not clearly under- j
stood. Among other questions dis
cussed was the one that the law only
gives the widow of a man leaving no
will only the right to the income
from one-third of his property dur
ing her life-time with no right to sell
the property. The other two-thirds
reverts to his family in case there are
no children. “Every woman in Alas
ka should see to it that her husband
makes a will,” said Judge Brown.
The compulsory school law, divorce
law, the rights of both husband and
wife to hold property which cannot
be subject to the debt of the other,
the homestead exemption law and
many other laws, which are of spe
cial interest to the women citizens of
the territory were discussed. The
club is to be congratulated upon hav
ing Judge Browft address them at
this time upon a subject of such vital
interest.

DEMOCRATS Will
SPENGE REMOVED
Have Forwarded Petition to Depart
ment of Justice Charging Him
with Incompetency.
The Seward Gateway, is fighting
Judge Spence, United States District
Attorney for this division, believing
that he is responsible for the threat
ened closing of the assistant District
Attorney’s office there and transfer
ing Assistant District Attorney Whit
tlesey to the Valdez office.
The people of Seward are up in
arms over the abolition of the office,
which will cause the citizens of that
town having business with the court’s
to come to Valdez to transact their
affairs.
That the Seward office is soon to
be abolished seems certain, but as no
representative of the District Attor
ney’s office is in Valdez at the pres
ent time, the matter is only conjec
ture. It will be remembered that
Judge W. A. Munley, who has been as
sistant district attorney in Valdez,
was appointed to the new office which
the department ordered at Anchorage.
Judge Spence, it is reported, request
ed the Department of Justice for an
other assistant but the request was
denied. Judge Munley has recently
been appearing before the court of ap
peals in San Francisco, and as a con
sequence Judge Spence has been
obliged to go to Seward to attend the
term of court, leaving the office with
out a representative.
Assistant District Attorney Whit
tlesey of Seward, is said to be in
Anchorage in connection with the
prosecution of the alleged liquor vio
lation cases.
The Gateway states that the Dem
ocrats of Valdez have sent an appeal
to Washington urging that Judge
Spence be removed as he has failed
to identify himself with the Demo
cratic party in Alaska, but has asso
ciated with the bitterest opponents of
the organization, and is unfitted for
the position. It is also rumored in
Seward that the Valdez Bar associa
tion is about to follow along the same
lines with regard to the district at
torney.
The officers of the Valdez Demo
ocratic club, when shown the article
in the Seward Gateway, admitted
that such action had been taken but
declined to make public the contents
of the resolution forwarded to the de
partment until such time as the de
partment took action or gave the peti
tion publicity.
It is understood that Judge Spence
is charged with having shown favor
itism in the local fight against the
Democratic club when prosecutions
were requested following the election
for delegate last year, and for failure
to identify himself with the local or
ganization.
PREACHERS URGE SUFFRAGE
FROM THE PULPITS.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—The suffrage
campaign for the election to be held
in this state Tuesday next ended yes
terday, when fifty of the most prom
inent preachers in the city urged from
their pulpits the election of candi
dates favoring equal suffrage. The
leaders of the movement believe that
suffrage will carry in this state.
SOLDIER IS* REWARDED
FOR DARING DEED.
Fairbanks Times: In a recent mail
from the Outside Sergt. D. J. McLeod,
of Fort Gibbon, who is now in Fair
banks on business, was notified that
he had been awarded a certificate of
merit by President Wilson, for brav
ery at Tanana. Sergt. McLeod suc
ceeded in saving the life of another
soldier, who attempted to drown him
self in the Yukon river, while tem
porarily insane.
Those who saw the brave act state
that the demented soldier was in the
middle of the river, iu a small boat,
threatening to drown himself when
Sergt. McLeod started out with a
launch to bring him back to shore.
The insane man attacked the sergeant
with a club when the latter attempt
ed to take him from the small boat.
In the affray the insane man jumped
into the water and would not allow
his rescuer to get near him. Finally,
in desperation, the sergeant hit him
over the head, rendering him uncon
scious, after which he swam to shore
with him. The exciting scene was
witnessed by a number of people who
were standing on the bank of the riv
er.
In addition to being a decided hon
or, the certificate means that the Ser
geant will receive $2 a month in ad
dition to his regular pay as long as
he is in the service.
