Could Excuse Even
Staying for Ballot
Tactics of Militant Suffragettes in
England Upheld by Wife of
Millionaire Socialist.

BALTIMORE, April IT can see
great reasonableness in the tactics Of
the militant suffragettes in England
and could even conceive that the TAX
ing of human life might be excusable
in their fight for the ballot said Mrs,
Rose Pastor Stokes, wife Of John Ora
ham Phelps Stokes, millionaire So
cialist Of New York, who is here en-
route from Florida to New York.
AT first 1t may seem" she contia-
ued, that the campaign of violence iii
England is inexcusable. and that
many Of the sufferers are those in no
way responsible for conditions
against which the women are fighting,
but we are not prepared 70 arraisn
the sunragettes now, for we iaci,
perspective.
Such conditions 90 not exist n
America. but the Englishwomen who
have declared actual warfare on the
government are in state Of open re-
bellion and are fighting as best they
can.
Mark. am not referring TO any
specific case in England-am neither
commenting nor criticising. 1 only
speak OF the method Of the campaign
1t has its parallel in hlstory--in Eng
lish history.
Think OF the fight for Engllshmer
for the right of franchise and Other
privileges finally obtained through
their gaining the Magma Charta. WAS
not blood shed then. and did not tae
innocent have TO suffer as we'll as the
guilty?

Alderman John E. McClelland to-
day notified Mayor Woodward to hold
UP his resignation. 1t is generally eX-
pected that the Alderman. at the in
sistence of the Mayor, will finally de-
eide TO remain a member Of Council.
McClelland again asserted his deter
minatiQn to show up the corruption in
the city government.
Resentment against him on account
OF his charges is intense. II was
stated by members OF Council, who
did not know he had taken under adj
visement the withdrawal Of his resig-
nation, that Council would refuse to
accept it until all the graft accuse
lions are cleared up. Counter charges
we're limited at.
Councilman Albert Thomson said
his resolution calling for a probe
would provide for an investigating

thority to Investigate the record Of
