CHAMPIONS CAUSE
OF SUFFRAGISTS
Head of Political Equality League
Challenges Mrs. Cas
well's Statement
REFERS TO COLORADO VOTE
Denies That Ballots of Ignorant
i Women Would Nullify
Those of Educated
Challenging the statement of Mrs.
George A. Caswell, president of the
Southern California Association Op
posed to the Ballot for Women, made
October 10, when it was organized,
that the vote of each Intelligent and
educated woman would be nullified
by that of perhaps fifty women who
are neither educated nor decent, if
women voted in California, .T. H. Braly
has sent The Her. Id a protest against
the assertion. Mr. Braly is president
of the Political Equality league. His
letter follows:
"Editor Herald: The president of
the Anti-Suffrage organization made a
very remarkable statement as given
in The Herald of October 11. 1 quote
it verbatim:
"According to present arrange
ments, the vote of every intelli
gent and educated woman would
be nullified by that of perhaps
fifty women who were neither ed
ucated nor decent.
STATEMENT IS CHALLENGED
"Now the president of the organiza
tion referred to is - lady of wide ac
quaintance and high social and liter
ary standing. Naturally, therefore,
many people will pause to consider such
a statement as that from a lady of
such standing In the community. 1
have refrained from commenting upon
It, hoping the statement did the lady
injustice, and that it would be denied
or corrected, neither of which has oc
burred, at least to my knowledge. I
feel, therefore, that on account of the
high source from which the public
Statement emanated that it should no
longer go unchallenged.
ANALYZES STATEMENT
"The statement is unquestionably
susceptible to only two meanings.
First, it must mean there are fifty wo
men in California who are not educat
ed and decent for every ■'''•' who Is both
intelligent and educated; or, secondly,
the indecent and uneducated women
would all vote if they had the ballot,
while the thousands of Intelligent and
educated women would not.
"If the first was the meaning of the
distinguished lady it was a most un
gracious comment upon the character
of our California women, and requires
no ansver. If the latter, then it is
Inevitable that the lady is utterly un
acquainted with 'sent day facts on
the subject of women's voting. The
records and figures all prove that as
large a percentage of women vote as
do men in our four free states, Wyom
ing, Colorado, Utah and Idaho.
GENERAL MALE'S ARGUMENT
"General Irving P. Hale of Denver
state? that:
"The largest majorities for wo
men suffrage were given In the
most intelligent cities, and in the
best precincts of each city, while
the heavy majorities against it
were In the precincts controlled by
the debased and lawless classes,
and the lowest grade at machine
politicians, who rely on herding
the depraved vote— showing that
these elements dreaded the effect of
woman suffrage, and realized the
falsity of the argument that it
would Increase the Immoral and
controllable vote.
"The result has demonstrated
their fear was well founded, and
that this argument Is diametrically
opposed to actual results.
"So far as I have been able to
judge by observation of elections
and analysis of returns, more wo
men vote in the better districts
than in the slums, and the pro
portion of renned and intelligent
voters to the Ignorant ana de
praved Is larger among- women
than among men."

LOS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 28, 1010.
HARRISON APPEAL MAY
BE DECIDED BY DEATH
Friends Fear Former Wealthy
Man Will Not Survive
His Imprisonment
Attaches of the county jail do not
believe that R. B. Harrison, formerly
a wealthy and respected citizen of
Aberdeen, Wash., who was sentenced
in the superior court last June to
serve five years In tho penitentiary,
will live to hear the decision of tile
district court of appeals, before which
his case was argued yesterday.
Dr. J. Ross Moore is in constant nt
tendance on Harrison and expresses
the fear thai the prisoner will not
survive the ordeal. A concerted ef
fort has been made by bis northern
friends to obtain a new trial and his
lr.cdom nn ball.
Hon. .7. C. Ross, district attorney
nf Aberdeen; Father Kennelly of a
Catholic parish in San Pedro, and
Mrs. Hester Griffith, president nf the
California W. C. T. U., are assisting
Harrison's attorneys to gain him his
liberty.
In the hriof that was filed for Har
rison before the district court of ap
peals yesterday charges are made that
he was the victim of a blackmail
plot iii which a policeman and private
detective figure. Following an alleged
attempt at extortion, Harrison's at
torneys assort that ho was made de
fendant In a civil suit for a fabulous
sum and when he refused to settle
the ease was arrested on a ehnrg*
of misconduct toward the 14-year-old
son of the plaintiff.
Harrison's personality apparently Is
so foreign to the charge, together with
his previous reputation, that his caso
excited the sympathy and support of
the W. C. T. U., a'number of Cath
olic clergy and his friends at Aber
deen, where he lived all his life prior
to coming to I,os Angeles.
,l,'\iler Gallagher said yesterday that
everything was being done by the
j:iil attaches to prolong- Harrison's
life, but that his condition at present
very low. "The man seems a
pretty good port." be said, "and it
looks to us as if something was wrong
In the case. T trust that ho is re
l or granted a new trial, as he
tand no chance o f living in jail."
Harrison's ease was argued before
the appellate court yesterday and
prior to its adjournment was sub
mitted for decision. Ninety days may
elapse before a decision Is rendered
in the case.

EXPERTS TO GIVE
TREATMENT FREE
Dental Association Erects Bunga
low Where Children Will
Be Cared For
IS THE THIRD OF A GROUP
Surgical Work Done in One Build
ing, and Other Is for
Convalescents
The Dental association of this city
has built a bungalow on the grounds
of the Children's hospttal at Alpine and
Castelar streets, where it will give pro
mal services free of charge to
children whose parents are unable to
have the work done at regular prices
and who are recommended by the
Children's hoapita) commute* of the
I,os Angeles Federation of Parent-
Teacher associations, to be eligible for
treatment. This committee lias erect
ed two other bungalows, one where
children will be treated for eye, ear,
nose and throat troubles prior to op
eration which service will be per
formed by the hospital doctors at an
expense to the federation of $6 for
case. In the other bungalow,
beds are placed where the children
may receive the necessary attention
after operations.
In almost all cases where an opera
tion is necessary the parents will be
expected to pay the sum of $5 to de
fray the cost of the materials used.
Specialists who usually charge from
twenty-five to one hundred dollars will
do the work of the federation at this
rate.
NOTICES DISREGARDED
At the meeting of the hospital com
mittee in the Chamber of Commerce
building yesterday morning, Dr.
George Leslie of the school board of
health spoke, telling of the manner in
which the board of school doctors, the
tors and the Federation of Par
ent-Teacher associations may co-oper
ate in the work of promoting health.
Each school term the children of the
schools are inspected and where ade
noids, enlarged tonsils, affected eyes
and ears are found, notices are sent to
the parents of the children so affected.
Only a small percentage of the parents
pay any attention to these notices,
and he suggested that a Children's hos
pital committee be appointed in each
association whose duty will be to trace
the cases which have remained unat
tended. He explained that in most of
the cases the matter of the child's
health was neglected because of ignor
ance on the part of the parents. In
many cases which have come to his
notice parents have refused to allow
the doctors to give their assistance. Ho
explained that at present there Is a
movement on foot to pass a law com
pelling parents to provide medical at
tention for their children. He suggest
ed that the California Congress of
Mothers should use its influence in
having the law passed.
NEEDS ARE STATED
During an animated discussion which
followed many cases were cited of
where the parents exhibited cruelty
toward their children and refusing
them medical attention even in cases
of serious accidents. Mrs. C. C. No
ble spoke, encouraging the members of
the committee in their work. .Miss
i. onard, the matron of the Children's
hospital, told of the needs of the hos
pital. White outing-flannel night robes,
opened in the back, long sleeves and
with a draw string at the neck, are
needed badly and it is requested that
any ono wishing to assist in the work
may do so by contributing after this
pattern. Offerings of jams are ac
ceptable. An especial need of the hos
pital is invalid wheel chairs for the
use of convalescent children. Clothing.
of the plainest pattern Is also needed
for the convalescents.
Mrs. Thomas Seabury, former presi
dent of the Berkeley Federation of
I'arent-Teacher associations and sec
ond vice president of the California
Congress of Mothers, told of the plans
of the northern association and gave
pal useful suggestions.
The next meeting of the federation
will be held in Symphony hall, Blan
chard building, November 3. At 10:30
a. m. reports will be heard from the
presidents of the associations. Thoy
will be expected to give suggestions to
the other presidents -wliich have proved
useful in their work. At two o'clock,
Dr. L. M. Power and Dr. I. R. Ban
croft of the board of school directors
and ono of the school nurses will take
charge of the meeting and give Inter
esting reviews of their work.

FOR CORPORATION TAX
Claud«Parker and Deputies Pro
pose to Uphold Reputation
of Local Office
Federal corporation taxos become
due January 1, and Claudo I. Parker,
Internal revenue collector. Is making
early preparations to uphold the repu
tation of his office made last year,
when the sixth district of California
excelled all others In the proportion of
returns made and the amount collected
before delinquency.

last August. All corporations, accord
ing to the law, are required to pay a
tax of 1 per cent on their net profits
over $5000.

ramento to obtain the names of corpo
rations forfeiting their charters by
reason of non-payment of state taxes

porations filing their articles of incor
poration since last January.
Blank forms and envelopes were
made out yesterday, which will bi
out to the corporations between De
cember 21 and December 25. After the
corporations have made out these
blanks they must be returned to the
collector's office before March 1 or re
ceive a penalty. A penalty also will be
added for non-payment of taxes before
' "?nst year all but twenty-three out
of the 6600 corporations in this district
had made their reports to the Internal
revenue collector's office. This was the
largest percentage of returns in any
district, in California and Collector
Parker was complimented on it. When
all but $54.74 of the $LMO,onn in taxes
was collected by June SO another rec
ord was mad" by the "(lice in tnis dis
trict. The balance due has been paid
and the list is clear.
