MIR. McKenna, continuing, told
how one woman in prison sponged
herself all over with hot water and
remained uncovered all night in the
hope of catching her death of cold.
Others pretended to take their food,
but surrepttiously starved them
selves so as to become exhausted
and die in prison. Some had VOL
unfairly seIf-tortured themselves
by thirst, refusing to touch any
food or liquid.
Sir Arthur Markham, Liberal mem
Der, remarked that there was cons
spiraCy on foot among the militant

Suffragette Leader Writes to Her
Mother of Suffering in Jail

LONDON. March 2O-Thc fanatical,
seIf-inhicted suffering Of the militant
suffraeettes in prison has become a
national problem 1t was the subject
of a discussion in the house of COM
mons, where it led to an angry attack
on the home secretary. About the same
time, the Militant Sufragette union is
sued a copy of a letter received by Mrs.
Emmeline Pankhurst from her daughter
Sylvia, now in Holloway prison. The
narrowing letter is as follows:
Dearest Mother: ! am fighting,
fighting, fighting! ! have four, five
or six mattresses every day. as
well as two doctors I am fed
through a stomach tube twice
day
They pry open my mouth with
steel gag pressing it in where there
is gap in my teeth. ! resist all
the time. My gums are always
bleeding.
am afraid they may be saying
that we do not resist yet my shout
ders are bruised by the struggling
while they hold the tube in my
throat.
I used to feel that I would go
mad at first and be pretty near to
it, as they feared, but I have got
over that. SYLVIA
Home Secretary Denounced.
declared in commons: The home sec
rotary ought to have proclaimed as I'M
lawful the meetings Of the militant suf-
fragettes. but his only attempt to rem
edy the situation thus far had been his
futile efforts at forcible feeding which
were barbariC IN their cruelty
Mr.. Smith called upon the home
secretary to resign from the cabi-
net as q hopeless failure" as the
present serious state of affairs
could be ended only by strong men.
Lord Robert Cecil another Unionist
member, foresaw the possibility of
lynch law if the fanatical women were
allowed to continue their tactics. He
advocated the deportation of the mill
tant suffragettes for an indefinite pc
riod.
Reginald McKenna. the home secre-
tary. said that Of GO women who had
been sentenced to Jail since January
/, eight had been released before the
completion Of their sentences. All of
these women mad been let go because
they refused to eat food All of them
We're suffering from complaints which
prevented attempts at forcible feeding.
the home secretary said. and he added
that many Of the militants were ac-
tuated hv a determination to make
martyrs a.. themselves and were ready
to starve to death for the cause
Women's Self Martyrdom.
Mr. McKeuna said he had to face this
fact daily, and by bitter experience he
knew these cases could only be dealt
with individually. and by exercising pa
tience. Humanity, slowly but surely
he said. would endeavor to break down
the movement.
He added that under the existing law
he either had to let the women die or
let them out and he wished he could
deport them. but it was doubtful whcth-
er parliament would grant MIN the
power to do So

FIND A WILL LEFT
BY MISS BRANCE
Woman Who Lived in Lawyer s
Office Bequeathes All Her
Possessions.

| Monticello, n. Y, Dec. 26.-Another
mark of the devotion OF adelaide NJ
Brance to Melvin H. Couch. in whose
office she had lived for more than
| three years, was found today. It is
a will made by Miss Brance bequeath-
! ing everything to Couch.
! Not only did the woman seclude
| herself in a den constructed in the
| lawyers inner office, do his typewrit-
ing, attend to his cooking, nurse him,
and comfort him, but she wanted to
give him everything at her death.
Those facts were impressed today
On Mrs. Couch, the widow, and her
daughter, Louise, when they made an
other search of the Office and finally
opened a small safe in the consulta-
ton room. Mrs. Couch and her daugh-
ter were busy going over the prop.
erty in the room They examined the
will curiously.
Mrs. Couch was much impressed by
the evidence of the woman's devotion
TO her husband.
Mrs. Couch put the will with other
belongings of Miss Brance found in
the cubbyhoIe and turned them over
to Sheriff Kinnie for the woman. Miss
Brance, however, was greatly argere
today to find missing a photograph of
Couch which she had in her trunk.
She begged the sheriff to get it for
her, saying that it was as dear to her
as the memory of the man.
THAT picture is soely mine" she
said, and no other woman shall pos
SEES it."
Miss Brance was cheered by the in
formation that her brother, Herbert
o. Brance will arrive here tomorrow
evening from Hartwick. near Cooper
town, TO take her away. BY that

time it is expected that George H.
Smith. her attorney. will have turned
her mortgages into cash.
Miss Brance is being guided by
friends of Couch. who are using every
means to prevent her from telling her
story to the public. The fact is that
Couch knew the greater part of tho
scandal of Monticello and that she
knew the same things herself.
COUGHS friends do not want her to
talk, and they say so frankly.
Il am feeling much better" she said
TO one of the women who visited her
today. She was delighted with the
many expressions of sympathy sent
her in te,egrams and letters with
small Christmas presents
