PANkAURS7, SINCLAIR AND
GOLDMAN DISCUSS SEX

New York, Nov. 27.--"Sex" was
discussed with amazing %frankness
and at great length by half a dozen
or more speakers in a meeting at the
Eitinge theater Wednesday afternoon.
Upton Sinclair had so much to say
on the problem that he was forced TO
make six speeches. He was followed
by Norman Hapgood, who took a Wig
orOus slap at Anthony COmstOck. A
number of other speakers followed,
and the program was wound up by
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst. She was
milder in her address than any of the
others. .. ,"
Emma Goldman tried to give her
views IN chastity from the stage, but
was not permitted. Two other wom-
en--the audience was almost eXclu-
sively of women-tried to speak from
the floor and were turned down.
Seek Sale Of Literature.
Across the street Zen Reitman ov
Mother Earth fame droned out from
some place between the caves of his
sombrero and the fluffy folds of his
flowing necktie, emma Goldman's
argument against chastity only 10
cents" Suppressed copies of the
'Suffragette,' only 10 cents" came in
higher soprano notes on the sidewalk,
too, from tho girls under Miss Joan
Wickham, who were getting rid of
the stock before Mrs. P%ankhurst's
sailing time, which is tomorrow.
The sale Of the literature had been
forbidden in the theater.
Mr.. Sinclair devoted a great part
of his first speech Of the afternoon
to telling the women and girls a fairy
story about an ogre. From this on
in his successive speeches he ram
bled gracefully to the subject OF dis
ease of various sorts. He told of
own novels. boosted a couple Of plays
on sex problems, and advertised
Miss ~Pankhurst's book generously.
Girl Ushers Are Amazed.
DR.. Frederic c. Howe, a social
worker, and DR.. James p. Warbassn
also discussed matters with a frank
ness that made the young girl ush'
ers employed in the theater, oper
