4 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."

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.
