TEN SUFFRAGISTS
SENTENCED AFTER
GOURTWRANGLE
Judge Pugh. In Tollce Court today,
raised out mora 125 fine or thirty
days In Jail sentences to ten suffra
gists arraigned before him on a
charge of blocking the White House
sidewalks In a picketing demonstra
tion. The ten, through their attor
ney, promptly appea'ed.
The trial revealed what appeared
to be a serevance of everything but
legal relattons between Judge Tugh
and Attorney Matthew E. O'Brien,
counsel for the suffragists.
Alter moving to quash the charge
against the women on every possible
ground. O'Brien asked for their dis
missal because their offense was com
mitted behind the line of trees on
Pennsylvania avenue, and, therefore,
under the exclusive Jurisdiction of
the United tSates.
Have Verbal Tilt.
That motion Is absurd so absurd
as to test the patience of anyone,
aald the Judge.
"Tour honor can rule without char
acterizing the motion," said Mr.
O'Brien, tartly.
Judge Pugh sighed.
"Overruled," he said.
The government and the defense
resting. Judge Pugh looked down at
Clerk Harper, and sighed again.
"Twenty-five dollars or thirty
days," he said.
Prosecutor Hart asked for bonds
of $100 each, pending the hearing of
the appeal for a writ of error. This
amount was fixed and the money de
posited.
Six Sentenced Before.
Six of the ten women convicted to
day appealed their case when they
received identical sentences on the
same charge last week.
The ten sentenced today are Mrs.
.Mary Lockwood. Washington; Mrs.
Pauline Adams, Norfolk. Vs.: Mrs.
Kate Boeckh, of England; Miss Mar
garet Fotheringham, of Buffalo, r.

WAIVES AERO RULES.
President "Wilson today, by Execu
tive, order, waived the civil service
examination regulations with regard
to aeronautics. Men familiar with
this work are badly needed In the
army, and so difficult to obtain that
the civil service was found a hin
drance. Vital Records.

Here is a photograph the
Europe showing the Russian Crar a prisoner of
his own people in one of his own palaces.
They educate little princes well, and often a
boy, now the Crar in prison, read without thought
of himself these words:
Farewell! a long farewell, to all my greatness!
This is the state of man: Today he puts forth
The tender leaves of hopes; tomorrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honors thick upon him;
The third day comes a frost, a killing frost,
POLICE
SICK LEAVE
The District Commissioners today
received from W. W. "Warwick, Comp
troller of the Treasury, a. ruling: es
tablishing the right of crossing po
licemen to, more than thirty das'
sick leave provided their Illness is n
consequence of Injury received or m
llgnant disease contracted in the line
of duty.
The ruling follows a protest filed
by the Capital Traction Company
against granting unlimited sick leave
with pay to crossing policemen in ad
dition to twenty days' annual leave.
The Comptroller rulea that the law
of September 1. 1010. gives to the
crossing policemen "all the rights,
benefits, privileges and immunities
now possessed or which may hereafter
be possessed by other members of the
metropolitan police force." The right
to flick leave with pay, he says, is un
questionably a right, benefit or privil
ege within the meaning of the law,
and if other members of the police
force are entitled to more than thirty
days' sick leave within any one year.
It must be held that the crossing po
licemen likewise are entitled there
to. "
The rules and regulations of the
Police Department provide that "no
member of the force shall be allowed
sick leae for more than thirty days
In any one calendar year except when
the same Is In consequence of injury
received or a malignant disease con
tracted In line of duty, and then not
until the Board of Police and Fire Sur
geons shall have recommended that
such excess be allowed, anu the same
shall have been approved by the Com
mlssloners "
The Comptroller advises the Com
missioners that under these rules and
regulations, whlrh hae the, force and
'rect or law, crossing policemen are
low entitled to leav with nv for
fmore than thirty days In a calendar
year under the same circumstances.1

EX-OFFICER FILES
CHARGES AGAINST
OCCOQUAN HEADS
Qulcklj- following her dismissal as
night offletr of the District work
house at Occoquan, Va., Mrs. Vir
ginia H. Bovee, of 811 South Lee
street, Alexandria, today filed sensa
tlonal charges against William It.
Whlttaker, superintendent of the In
stitution, and his administration.
The charges were made In an affi
davit filed with the National Woman's
party, following Mrs. Dovee's dis
missal from the Institution, because,
she alleges, she was friendly to suf
frage prisoners there.
Mrs. Bovee, In her adfldavlt sworn
to before a notary public, declares
that girl prisoners at the uorkhouse
are beaten.
Blame, Only Wbltakers.
Superintendent Whlttaker and his
son, she declares, were the only ones
who ever beat prisoners No other
officer of the Institution had punitive
pou ers.
Iler first charge against the Occo
quan management concerns the hold
ing up of mall for the suffrage pris
oners by Mrs. Herndon, the woman
warden. Letters for prisoners, she
declares, were frequently destroyed
by the Occoquan authorities and mall
for the suffragettes was held up until
the completion of sentences.
She declares that the bedding for
the common prisoners was changed
only at long Intervals and that thla
rule was not broken, even when a
new prisoner took the bed occupied by
a discharged prisoner.
Prisoners with communicable dis
eases are not Isolated quickly enough,
she sas
Same Soap For All.
Mrs. Bovee declares the soap used
by the prisoners was common to all.
Every Incoming prisoner was required
to take a bath, and the same cake
of soap was used as long as It lasted.
There were worms In the beans,
hominy, rice, cornmeal, and other
food, used at the Institution, de
clares Mrs. Bovee. Additionally, she
alleges that, although the penal farm
has a fine herd of Holsteln cattle, the
prisoners get milk only on orders of
the doctor.
At the same time the suffragettes
said that Mrs. Abby Scott Baker, of
the Woman's Party leaders, who vis
ited Occoquan yesterday, was prepar
ing to file an affidavit of how she
escaped the vigilance of Occoquan
guards yesterday and broke away to
investigate what she believed was the
sound of clanking chains.
By running down the corridor, she
declares, she came face to face with a
man In chains.

than he can think in a lifetime you will find in one
single page of Shakespearets Henry the Eighth.
Shakespeare did all the thinking for all the
kings past and to come and that was but a part
of his work.
All the charges made by Mrs.
Bovee were placed before Super
intendent Whlttaker by a reporter
for The Times. As each charge
was read Mr. Whlttaker said "Not
true." Concerning the alleged
beating of a girl prisoner Mr.
Whlttaker declared. "No prisoners
at Occoquan are beaten." When
asked If Mrs. Bovee v. as dismissed
for her friendliness for the suf
fragette Mr. Whlttaker aald:
"Dismissed for unsatisfactory
service."

Each and every man. woman, and

Alwaya Ready To Oblige.
The Government employes will be
given a reasonable time in which to

they are too busy to get away from
their desks to perform the patriotic
duty of donating, ways and means
will be devised to send to the doors of
their departments to get the money.
The Washington Times Tobacco Fund
will be found alwaya ready to oblige.
Practically all the contributions re

MotherswIves, sweethearts, friends.
Dusiness men and Just plain con
trlbutors who are unacquainted with
any of the soldiers already "over
there," or who are going, write In
the most glowing terms of the Idea
of providing our boys with smokes
throughout the duration of the war.
For Instance, Isaac Gans, a promi

"Enclosed please find check for

The "liberal arrangement" referred
to by Mrs. Brlsco Is this:
Through the generous and patriotic
co-operation of the American Tobacco

ablcd to make a bargain under, the
terms of which each quarter contrib

Each packet sent to the soldiers
will contain:
A package of Tuxedo tobacco
and four books of cigarette pa

Two packages of Lucky Strike
cigarettes, twenty cigarettes In
each package.
A return postal card addressed
to the contributor on which the
soldier will pen his appreciation
and gratitude for the gift.
The arrangement Is not only lib

soldiers to save 20 cents in the Initial
cost of the smokes. To this saving
must be added the amount It would
cost a person In this country to ship
the packet to the soldier.
