WIVES TRADED;
CHILDREN SOLD
Amazing Conditions Among
Residents of "Ths Pines"

Trenton, N. j., Nov. 25.-Trading of
wives and selling Of children are con
dittons discussed by Miss Elizabeth
Kite, who has been making a study of
conditions in New Jersey relating to
degeneracy and feeble mindedness, as
existing in 1.-The Pines" including sec
lions of Burlington, Atlantic and Ocean
counties.
Miss Kite has spent three years
among the people of this district, and
her report made to the state commits
sioner of charities and corrections con-
tains a number Of startling revelations
which smack Of conditions In the
mountain districts Of North Carolina
and Kentucky.
Miss Kite maintains that the low
type of people Of '"The Pines" think
nothing of trading their wives and sell
ing their children. Substantiation of
her statements can be had by a mum
Der of recent cases which have been
investigated and taken care of by the
New Jersey Chlldren'D Home society,
which has headquarters In this city.
Wives are traded and children are
sold, according to the society, for small
sums of money and for liquor. During
the last week a number Of arrests have
been made at the instance Of the So
ciety In 1.-THE Pines" particularly In
the interests Of children of unmarried
couples.
O. V. Williams, superintendent of the
society, has just returned from a cru
SADIE Ia "The Pines" He brought with
him to Trenton two children commit
ted to the care Of the organization by
Judge Ben White of Burlington coun-
ty. The children are a girl of ten
years and a boy Of eight. The father
Of these children is a Trenton saloon
keeper, who deserted his wife, after
which she took up with n Clifford
Anderson. Anderson so abused the
children that their lives were In dan
ger. Anderson and the mother Of the
children devoted their time to i'm
morality. This case Is from Lemon
town, Burlington county, where the
man and woman have been held for
the action Of the grand jury.

SUFFRACISTS
TO FIGHT ON
Mrs. Belmont Not to With
draw from Ranks.

Philadelphia, Nov. 25.-The cause OF
suffrage apparently has %tr1umphed over
its internal differences, and the con-
Querors and tho conquered In the bat
tie Of Saturday, when Jane Adams of
Chicago. now dubbed the Moses OF
suffrage" swept aside all the opposi-
ton, defeatip Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont
and her followers, are standing back to
back lighting for a countrywide vote
for women
When the aftermath of the battle
stopped 1t looked very much as If the
supporters Of Mrs. Belmont might
withdraw from the National American
Woman Suffrage association In their
chagrin at being defeated when they
sought to amend the constitution OF
the organization 80 that the officers OF
the convention could not ally them
selves with any political party.
So serious was the crisis that there
was an executive meeting Of the ma
tional board of the association for the
purpose Of discussing the matter.
While nothing was given out beyond
the statement by the president Of the
association, DR.. Anna b. Shaw said
that the matter had been discussed and
everybody satisfied. and 1t is said
there was an agreement among the Of
fccrs that they will not affiliate them
selves with any party unless such an
utilization was absolutely necessary.
This promise, it is believed, was the
diplomatic sop which was passed to
the members who stood by Mrs. Bel
mont and were on the losing side OF
the question.
There is but one discordant note re-
garding the statement that all Is. Sc
Ell No person seems to know just
what Mrs. Belmont will do. She was
not In evidence here yesterday, and
neither were her closest supporters. -
