CHICAGO, April 1O.-Miss Frances E. Will
lard, president of the national Woman,s
Christian Temperance union, said today
she did not know what to make of the re-
port in regard to the unjust incarceration
OF Anna Dickinson. She does know that To
her knowledge Susan Dickinson has been =
most generous, faithful and loving sister !:
she always has been regarded as moss
conscientious, high minded Christisn
woman by all who knew her. Miss wiz
lard could not believe Susan Dickinson
capable of the base conduct attributed to her.
and does not see what she could hope To
gain by such course. The plan for the
fund which is being raised is
that it should be placed in the
hands of trustees only the interest to be
paid to Anna Dickinson, and that it shall be-
Kept as permanent fund for the purpose
OF aiding any woman who has given her
life TO the public and is no longer able to
care Tor herself. Miss Willard has two
letters OF recent date from Susan Dickin-
son In one of which she speaks of Anna
having suddenly and violently turned
against her. As usual in such cases. Miss
Willard thinks Anna Dickinson is the vic,
tim of baseless decisions.

reliable sources that the agents of the
