MISS HASKELL HIT
Suffragist Calls Off Controversy
With Governors Daughter.
Declares She Wants NOtOriety
to Further Stage Ambitions.
RAPS AT PAGE, ALSO.
Says the Saturday Post Article
Doesn't Merit Reply.
Declares Herself as to How She
Stands on Question.

Oklahoma City, Jan. THAT Miss
Jane Haskell daughter of Governor
CHARLES N. Haskell, is criticisiIig wom-
an suffrage and making other state
ments to the press to obtain notoriety
IN order to get on the stage, is the
statement of Mrs Wesley Kroeck,
who has been writing articles and
sending out interviews regarding Miss
Haskell under the pen name of Janet
OctaVla townsend, and under the sig
nature of DR.. Ruth Gray. Mrs. Kroeck
says that she no longer is running a
Tree advertising bureau and that
she will now drop the controversy
with Miss Haskell
Mrs. Kroeck is not connected with
the suffrage movement, but she be-
lieves in it. This led her to answer
the statements of Miss Haskell at a
time when, she says, she was not IA
millar with the personality of her OPP
ponent. Now, she has decided that
Miss Haskell is after advertising
which will enable her to obtain po-
sition as an actress
When asked as to the article writ
ten by Jay T. Page of the Saturday
Evening Post, Mrs. Kroeck said:
Mr.. Page does not merit a reply
With a great splash of ink this liter
airy man said simply nothing
Asked as to whether she will ac-
cept Miss Haskells challenge to a box
ing match, she said:
mo, 1 will not fight Miss Haskell

and would appear in so unbecoming a
role. AS for myself, the notoriety at
tached to such a performance would
be most distasteful, as would any at
titude that called for the display of
temper or unkind feeling toward 9TH
ers. L stand firmly for the uplift of
the masses, and love for all classes is
my working motto.
at is on this basis that favor
woman suffrage, and let me say in
connected with the suffrage movement
who would be likely, in my opinion, to
put on the gloves and take on Miss
Haskell They are women bold in
right doing, sincere in their belief,
ladylike and lovable in their attitude.
They are women of courag,, too, for
they must stand the ridicule and sar-
casm which is the usual trend of ar
gurnent against woman suffrage They
have always maintained dignified at
titude which commands the respect OF
their most bitter enemies
Mrs Kroeck has written series OF
poems entitled Little Life Lines,
which are now being published. They
will be published under the pen name
of Mrs. Kroeck She is also writing
a hook known as Life Lessons.
These are the embodiments of the
theory of the school of metaphysics, a
school organized in Los Angeles. Cal,
in which according to Mrs. Kroeck,
s.the chemistry of life is studied and
from which no one has ever been
graduated, for the study of the
science of life is inexhaustible."
