WASHINGTON, Oct. lfi—(Special Correspondence.)—Women suffragists [ who served prison terms in the Dis trict of Columbia jail will demand a congressional investigation at the De cember session, not only of the penal institutions in the national capital, which are declared to be a disgrace to humanity and a reproach to the District of Columbia government, but of all prisons under jurisdiction of the federal /government. This was an nounced today by Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the National Woman’s party. A resolution demanding the investi gation will be introduced and passed at the coming convention of the Wo man’s party here. More than 500 women were arrested in Washington during the time that the suffgragists were holding demon strations in the national capital to im press President Wilson and congress with the necessity of passage of the nineteenth amendment. More than 100 of them served prison sentences, eith er at the Oecoquun workhouse or the district jail. These women were exercising the right of peaceful and lawful assem blage, guaranteed under the constitu tion, but were arrested time after time in the streets of the capital, many of them being seized and hustled to police court in patrol wagons from in front of the White House, without President Wilson lifting a finger to prevent the outrages. Many instances of brutal treatment by the Washington police came to light during these ar rests. Many of the women arrested were of the best and proudest fami lies in the country, and most of them were from other cities than Washing ton. A single nod from the autocrat in the White House would have halted those outrages on American woman hood. The district commissioners and the Washington police knew the White House cared nothing for the woman suffrage cause (at that time). Later when the cause of woman suf frage triumphed by passage of the nineteenth amendment by a Republi can congress and was ratified by a large number of •Republican state leg islatures; President Wilson experi enced a “deathbed repentance” regard ing woman suffrage, and has since appointed women to high office, prac tically on the eve of the November election, in an evident endeavor to in fluence tbe woman’s vote. This trans parent political device lias not fooled the women, however. A large number of the suffragists who suffered in the district jail aid workhouse have filed affidavits here regarding their treatment in prison, which are corroborated by affidavits of prison officials. These affidavits disclose a condition in the district jail and workhouse which reads like a narrative from the Middle Ages or an account of a penal institution in So viet Russia. Filth, bad food, disease, terrible sanitary conditions, and ne glect of sick prisoners are charged in the affidavits. The suffragists declare they were neglected, starved, and mal treated while imprisoned for making public demonstrations of the cause of woman suffrage. They declare their complaints were ignored by President Wilson and the Washington officials.

BrehmerDrug Company COLD BAY HAS TAKEN LEAD IN CLAIMS FILED Other Districts Show Falling Off But Big Number of Ap plications From That Field Keep Filings at Normal While staking of oil claims is con tinuing in several of the fields into which prospectors have worked their way, in only one field has there been anything like the activity during the past month that characterized the movement during the summer sea son. The rush of Cold bay and other Peninsula districts, according to a statement made by Register Frank A. Boyle of the U. S. land office at Juneau, has not slackened but there has been a substantial decrease in the number of applicants filed from other fields. From the Cold Bay field alone between September 12 and October 21, a total of 45 applications cov ering 115,002 acres were filed for oil leasing and prospecting permits. Only the big influx of applications from this district kept the movement as a whole up to normal, explained Mr. Boyle. The month previous ap proximately 130,000 acres were cov ered in the 73 applications made for permits. “During the period between the above dates, 56 applicatiohs were received at this office covering an acreage of 138.240,” says the state ment. “This brings the total num ber of acres in all districts under this office well above the half mil li )n mark since the new oil leasing law became effective last February. Last month's fi'.ing includes: Cold bay, 45 applications; 115,200 acres; Iliamna, six for 15,360 acres; Ka talla, two for 1,940 acres,' Yakataga, Wasilla and Anchorage one each for 2.560 acres, making a total for the month of 138,240 acres.

This lies south west of the Cold bay field, about 100 miles by the water route. On an air line it is approximately 45 miles from the west field of Cold bay. This is generally regarded as one of tile most likely districts in Alaska. The formation, it is said, is considered favorable and as far as is known is still in place. Excellent surface indications have been found. In this district 22 claims have been surveyed and many more, it is be lieved, have been located but no ap plications for permits have yet been received.
