WOMEN ON ROCK PILE.
Mrs. Porter-Boyer Could Have
Learned Conditions at Ardmore.

In the Oklahoma City Times of
yesterday appears the following:
Laws requiring women to perform
manual labor when in jail. were de-
nounced by the Oklahoma Woman
suffrage Association at it's meeting
last night 1t was pointed out that
Texas and Oklahoma were the only
states permitting this.
Mrs. Ida Porter-Boyer. headquar-
ters secretary of the association,
said on this subject today:
yes. know of two states, Tex
as and Oklahoma. where women are
sometimes compelled to work on the
rock pile. when in Jail. And have
heard that this is also true in Geor-
gia and Alabama. When was at
Ardmore recently, they informed me
on reliable authority that a woman
prisoner was working on the rock
plle at the Jail there. That is an
outrage on womanhood. whether in
Jail or out. And | don't think It
denotes aught of chivalry for this
new state TO have such a statute
on its books. Whether 1t Is implc-
lily commanded by law or left to
the discretion of the warden, It
still remains a disgrace"
Local police officials approached
on this matter today, stated that
the case mentioned was that of an
undesirable negro wench. whom the
officers were unable TO drive from
the city and who walked the streets
at night. Repeated arrests had no
effect on this negro woman and
only the rock pile caused her to
leave the city. No manual labor
has ever been demanded or COM
PEELED Of white women prisoners.
Only in extreme cases have negro
women been made to work.

Gas so dense as to sink in a liquid was singu-
lar result of a late experiment by DIR. Hammer
Hugh Onnes. A mixture of hydrogen and helium
in a capillary tube plunged into liquid hydrogen
was compressed beyond 40 atmospheric. when
the hydrogen became almost entirely iquefied
and bubble of helium was seen to descend into
it. AS the pressure was released, the helium
rose again and floated on the surface of the
liquid.
