WOMAN PHYSICIAN.
Woman's Federation Wants One
Appointed at the Receiving
Hospital.
Beard of Supervisors to Be Petitioned
to Provide a House of
Detention.

The Woman's State Federation for the
Public Good has decided to present TO the
Board of Supervisors a its next meeting a
petition for the construction or establish
ment in San Francisco OF house Of de-
tention for women, and if the fedora ton
sees that it cannot get separate building
it is rumored that they will accept quar-
ters in the new municipal building, to
be erected on the site OF the old city hall.
The president, Mrs. Eva E. Bates, says
that the petition will be formulated at the
regular meeting of tine federation, to be
held at 81 Mason street this afternoon.
The federation is making a campaign for
the entire separation of the sexes in
prisons, and they claim that house of
detention for the temporary incarceration
of women pending a decision in their
cases, can best carry out the idea. Mrs.
Bates also suggests that a separate van.
be provided for women for carrying them
to and from the courts and the jails. She
greatly deplores the present practice of
throwing one or two women into closed
van with a dozen or more men.
The federation will begin crusade to
secure the appointment at the Receiving
Hospital OF q woman physician 10 ex-
anime the female patients in place of the
physicians that now do that work Mrs

the public schools, and something along
this line will be done.

larger size than those caught earlier in the
