New York, Oct 22.--Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst, freed from Ellis island,
was the chief guest Monday night at
a dinner of the Womans Political
union in the Aldine club. She mad
speech after the dinner and express
ed her citation over her release.
She had been ordered deported as
an undesirable alien, but President
Wilson and Secretary of Labor Will
son interviewed on her appeal from
this decision and instructed Anthony
Caminetti, commissioner general Of
immigration, to release her on her
own recognizance and without bond.
Mrs. Pankhurst now will be able to
carry out her contemplated lecture
tour in this country. She expects to
sail for Europe November %.
She was taken in an automobile to
mont, where she had luncheon. At
night she was dined at the Aldine
club by the Womans Political Union.
The British suffragette was highly
elated over her release.
'"The American people did tit is
their will she said What will the
English say?'
More than 800 members of the
Womens Political Union attended the
dinner at the Aldine club, which was
given as an official welcome Of Mrs.
Pankhurst. The militant leader in an
address said the happenings Of the
last two days had done much to re-
store her confidence in the democracy
of the American people.
Think of the opinion in England
when the news Of my release reaches
there" she added. "They committed
me there for crimes against the law
which were prompted by the highest
motives, and nothing would have
pleased them more than to have seen
me deported."
II exercise the same right as the
representative of any oppressed peo-
pie to go to the people of other ma
~tions and plead for assistance. Your
own Benjamin Franklin, in the time
Of stress and difficulty, made pill
grimage to France seeking relief and
assistance. This is womans move
ment and we plead the undeniable
right to go to the women all over the
civilized world and lay our case be-
fore them. as often and as compre-
hensively as we can do So"
Il wish to say that l don't question

in conducting their campaign along
the lines they have, but / must say
this, that / have never been happier
than since I reached the decision that
] and my daughters must fight our
battles along the lines of militancy."
There were two reasons why was
sentenced to three years penal servi-
tude last March," continued the suf-
fragette. Zone was that the famous
cat and mouse act had not then
been passed, and they wished to have
me sentenced to penal serviture SO
that / would be permitted to leave
prison on license.
1.-THE other reason was that many
years ago, when young mother, /
went to a trial in the north of Eng
land, where a judge was sitting in the
case of a young girl accused of MUIR
der. The second day OF the trial the
judge disappeared. He was found
dead in shameful den. I got up in
court and protested against having
such men on the bench.
'Afterward i learned that the very
Judge who sentenced me this year
was close relative OF the man whom
/ had denounced"
