DR.. WILEY BOLDLY
COMES TO RESCUE
Of MODERN WOMEN
Disagrees With Prof. Far
man That They Are .
"Idlers."

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley pities Prof.
Henry w. Farnam. Also he wants to
take Issue with him.
Prof. Farnam is the Yale instructor
who said women OF the upper classes
in this country are ''ricn idiers'' and
human parasites" when he addressed
members of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science last
week. For the last few days promi-
nsnt women Of the Capital have cx-
pressed their indignation at such a
statement, pointing to the work done
by Mrs. Russell Sage, Miss Mabel r.
Boardman, Miss Jane Adams, Mrs.
4. II. Hartman, and others. as ex.
amples Of the services of modern wo-
men,
II am sorry Prof, Farnam hasn't had
an opportunity to ses what women of
this country are doing" said DR.. Wiley.
Il can't believe his opinions are the
result OF q personal investigation. He
has been reading the newspapers, too
much-or the wrong kind of news
papers,
"Women are the salvation OF this
country. II there are any human par
asites 1t IL the man.
Among the women who took issue
with Prof. Farnam were Mrs. Ernest
w. Roberts, president of the Congress
sional Club: Mrs. Arthur NJ. Dodge.
president of the National Associat tion
Opposed to Women's Suffrage: Mrs.
Albert Burleson, and Mrs. John b. Hen
derson.

INVESTIGATION into
POL|CEMAN'S DEATH
ENDS ALL SUSPICION
Marion L. Thomasson Died
of Natural Causes, 1t Is
Determined.

Policeman Marion I. Thomasson, of
the Fourth precinct. died this morning
in Providence Hospital under what this
police believed at first were suspicious
circumstances.
An investigation Instituted, by Coroner
hewitt developed, however. that death
was due to natural causes. Policeman
Thomasson went of duty ut I o'clock
yesterday morning. and six hours later
was taken suddenly Ill at his home, 71s
I street southeast. A physician was
hastily summoned, and later DIR. Ed
mund X. Barry. police surseon, was
called in.
Suffered Great Pain.
The policeman was suffering intense
pain in his stomach, and following q
consultation at the house later in the
afternoon II was decided that the only
hope Of saving his life was an opera
ton. He was taken to Providence Hos
pital, where the operation was per-
formed by DR.. H. w. Lawson. He died
this morning shortly before o'clock.
Death was due to acute infiammati ton
Of the pancrea.
A report was circulated that Thomas
son was assaulted last Sunday night
by colored man whom he had under
arrest. When Coroner hewitt learned
Of this he ordered an investigation.
However, the physicians who were
present at the operation assured the
detectives making the investigation
that there was no bruise OF any kind
on the policeman's body. and that there
was nothing suspicious about his death.
Thomasson was twenty-seven years
old and had been a member of the
police force since July /, 1910. He
was a native of Virginia. His wife,
who Is a sister Of Policeman Much. of
the Third precinct, is at the point
Of death from complication Of dis
fever about two months ago. She was
told Of her husbands death, and the
shock has made her condition critical.
Other Deaths In Force.
The death Of Policeman Thomasson
is the third that has occurred in the
active ranks of the police force in
less than ten days. Policeman James
Easley and Policeman John A. Pear
son both died last week.
Word also was received in WASH
ington today Of the death in RUSSELL
VILE. KY, Of former Sergeant w. W.
Perry, a retired member Of the DO
lice force. He was seventy eight
years old, and had been a member Of
the Police Department for thirty Ave
years. when he retired in 1906. Dur

Conviction of Frisby .
Set Aside by Court

Reversing the judgment OF the lower
court, the District Court Of Appeals
today set aside the conviction of Peril
w, Frisby. a colored lawyer, who has
twice been found guilty Of forgery IN
the District Criminal Court, but did
not order a new trial.
1t is regarded as highly probable that
the decision of the upper court will
mean that Frisby will not be placed on
trial again. He was charged with the
Forgery OF a contract for the sale Of
real estate. which was used as an ex-
hibit In suit In equity. The indict-
mcnt was based on the presentation Of
collateral proof Of this paper.
Subsequent 10 the granting of a new
trial after the first conviction, Con-
gress changed the code permitting COL
lateral proof OF such papers. but the
Court Of Appeals held that Frisby was
immune from the amendment.
On the first conviction Frisbv was
sentenced to one year and one day in
prison. and to two years Imprisonment
on the second.

Commissioners Urge
Benning Road Bill

The District Commissioners have sent
a report to the Senate District Commit
tee in which they strongly favor the
passage Of the bill to amend the act
for the widening of Benning road 50
as to eliminate the requirement that 60
per cent Of the land necessary to effect
the widening shall be dedicated before
condemnation proceedings to acquire the
remainder of the land 10 begun
The bill is necessary because Of the
impossibility OF getting the usual
amount Of land dedicated.
The 'ssioners say that Bennins
road should be widened as 1t is one OF
the most heavily Travelled thorough
fares of the District. The original
proposition in the bill. however. Is to
widen to 10 feet from Fifteenth street
to Oklahoma avenue. The Commission
ers say II should be widened as far as
the Benning Bridge. The measure al
lows ninety days to begin proceedings
and the Commissioners recommend six
months.

CONCERT BY MRS. cox
WAS PLEASING EVENT

The concert given by Mrs. James
Henry Cox at the Presbyterian
church on Thursday evening of last
week far excelled any entertainment
of the kind ever given in Montpelier.
Mrs. Cox has strong. yet clear con-
tralto voice, and the variety of her
selections enabled her to display her
talent to the full extent. Although
she sang ten numbers and responded
to hearty encores several times, every
one present would have been glad,
could Mrs. Cox have favored them
with rs many more, songs. Her
voice, however, is nother only charm
for she is lady of pleasing person
ality, yet entirley unasuming in her
actions while on the stage.
Mrs. Cox leaves today for visit
of several weeks in Pocatello and
Boise. She will stop here on her re-
turn to Washington, d. c., at which
time 1t is hoped she will favor the
music lovers of Montpelier with an
other concert.
