WOMEN PLAN A MOST
REMARKABLE ADVENTURE

The most remarkable adventure which
a woman ever planned (says the New
York American) has been undertaken by
Miss Ida Vera Simonton. slster-in-law OF
Morris ID. Goulden. son OF Congressman
Joseph A. Goulden, OF the Bronx. She
will sail Immediately for Africa, whore
she will isolate herself In the heart Of the
Jungle TO learn the language and habits
OF the ape and monkey tribes.
Miss Simonton will be joined In the
Dark Continent by Prof. II, l.. Garner.
the scientist. whose Investigations OF ST.
mian life have won worldwide fame. To-
gether. the enthusiastic miss and the
veteran scientist will ascend the Congo
river until they penetrate the home or the
tailless apes and the highest monkeys.
Each will have erected a steel cage,
large enough for n habitat and strong
enough for protection against wild beasts
of all kinds They will live for severT+
months, Gagged alike from harm and civil
iZation. While the apes and monkeys dis
port themselves I'm the surrounding trees,
the two searchers for knowledge Will
strive 10 open social relations with them
and learn their language.
Unusual interest attaches 10 the depart
ure OF Miss Slmonton. because she is a
witness Of Importance IN the Thaw case.
She has made a statement In which she
declares she once was sent 60 London by
Stanford White 20 try 90 persuade Miss

lea. She said that she found Evelyn Nes-
bits mother abandoned and penniless In

reasons, and after declaring that the

1.-TWO years ago / began my campaign
with the pledge that / would. II elected,
have an administration OF my own
have kept that pledge BY doing so /
have met opposition from those who be-
leve that governors and legislators are
safer public servants when they Follow
the guidance OF a party boss than when
they think for themselves and act on
their own responsibility. ! have Incurred
the displeasure of others who might nave
been friendly had / become their follow
er and sought the editorial sanctum Tor
counsel and advice. But the party I'm It's
primaries has indorsed my administra-
tion throughout the state and elected dele
gates favorable 10 my renomina tion.
1T have long been conscious OF the
fact that the office has been exacting
from me sacrifices that ] can Ill afford.
/ need time for rest and attention TO my
personal affairs. The result OF the con-
test in the primaries for the principle on
executive independence has given cour-
age 10 all who believe that the governor
should not be the puppet OF the party
organization and hope TO all who deplore
the supremacy OF irresponsible political
absolutism.
1T also leaves me free TO crafty my
personal inclination with honor and 10
withdraw my name from further consid-
Grafton. I have no fear OF the result.
When the party enters the campaign In
so wholesome condition the hosts OF
Hearst cannot prevail against IL.
