TRIAL MARRIAGES"
NIX WITH POLITICS
Herbert H. Parsons Attacked
Because of Book His
Wife Once Wrote.

NEW YORK. Oct 23.-Advising all
those who favor trial marriages to
vote for Herbert H Parsons. an anony-
nous circular has been sent broadcast
through the Thirteenth Congressional
district Il Is plainly a hit at a book
which Mrs. Parsons. who is a daughter
OF Henry CIe~'es, wrote a couple Of
years ago on the subject Of marriage
and which at that time created a sem
sation. Its manifest purpose is 70 in
jure the candidacy Of the head of the
Republican county committee.
What am I going to do about it?''
exclaimed Mr.. Parsons. Nothing! Yes
can come pretty near guessing whose
work It IS. But the persons who would
do that kind Of thing are welcome 70 go
ahead as far as they please.
Mr.. Parsons. who IS seeking re-elec-
ton 10 the House Of Rep, esentatives,
has for his opponents Frank Hendricz,
an Independent Republican. and Gerald
Hull Gray. a Tammany Hall candidate.

Mrs Early with the immediate ueces-

With this end i'm view the fund was

The statement printed in a morning
paper from John Early. the ieper, bring
ing into question the disbursement of
the fund raised through The Times FOR
the support Of his family, has made
proper and desirable 4 statement as
10 the condition Of the fund at this

The Washington times., 1908-10-23

Edgar D. shaw, general manager OF
The Times, ard one OF the committee OF
three who have had the Early fund in
charge, said today:
Answer Is in Order
L do not know how correctly Mr..
Early has been quoted IN the morning
paper article, but the statements given
publicity there demand an answer, for
the reason that the people who so gen.
erously contributed TO the Early fund
have right to know exactly how their
money is being spent
The fact that s4OO has been paid TO
Mrs. Early in six weeks, Joined with the
tact that in the same Time $lr5-2U OF
back pension money has come into her
hand. is. / think. sufficient answer 70
the statements that she need have SUI
fered FOR any comforts. The dates Of
the payments make plain that the
money went TO her from The fund almost
from its beginning This is the best
answer 70 The statement that Mrs
Early was never notified OF the fund,
although readers OF The Times Will re-
can tTat interviews v-i.h both Mr. and
Mrs. Early in The Times at the lncep-
ton Of the fund showed both their
knowledge and their gratitude.
Got More Than Asked For.
Not only has Mrs Early never beer
refused money, but In the case OF the
SEQ payment mentioned she was given
so more than she asked for in order
that she might not need to withdraw
money from the bank where she had a
small amount deposited.
i presume that Mr.. Early was led
10 talk about the fund because Of a
difference in opinion as to its handling.
on October - when Mrs Early was
given the $500 she said she felt that
they were entitled 10 have the whole
fund turned over 70 them at once and
in full, 20 be expended as they might
choose and without any accounting 10
anybody
4 told her then. as / had before,
that personally 1 felt a responsibility
in the matter to the people whose
money made up the fund.- that these
people should know in a general way
for what their money went. whether for
furniture, clothing, house furnishings
or general living expenses. and that
divisions Of expenses, should be on file
for the inspection Of any contributor
who might ask for them.
Considered by Committee
A representative Of The Times who
saw Mr.. Early next day found that he
was also strong in the conviction that
he was rightfully entitled to the whole
fund at once and without any account
ing Since then the matter has been
under discussion and consideration by
the three persons who form the commit
tee having in charge the disbursement
of the fund. ! feel sure that the con-

THE library was first opened in the
old Goddin Tavern on Ju2!e IS. 1907,
and remained here until the building
was sold. Not having funds to rent a
room, the books had to be packed ana
stored away. In September the kinder
garten room was offered for the use
of the library and gladly accepted. AT
first the library was opened twice a
week, but later it was Thought best to
open only on Friday afternoons.
The library opened with only fifty
books, sent by the Travelling Libraries
Division of the State Library; now
through the kindness of friends. there
are nearly 600 books on the shelves
Mrs. Bertha Binswanger has given the
library a nice bookcase.
During the year there have been
1000 books circulated and SS7 children
have been present. The children take
books not only for themselves, but also
for their parents and friends.
There will be a book reception at
the library, No 715 Brook Avenue, on
Friday afternoon, June &c, 1908, from
3 to 6. The librarians will welcome
