DISGRACE. SAYS DR.. SHAW
Another Illustration Of Man.
Made Law, She Declares.
fBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune. /


Moylan. Penn, Oct. 1S.--The Rev. DR..
Anna Howard Shaw, president OF the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation, severely criticised at her home
here tonight the government action
against Mrs. Pankhurst.
1T is disgraceful act" DR.. Shaw said.
The most disgraceful act ever committed
by this country. Mrs. Pankhurst has not
been guilty OF moral turpitude in the eyes
Of the English law. She has been left
free in London. and why should she not
be left free to preach her doctrine In
New York City?
This nation of ours has admitted. even
welcomed political regicides in the past.
All sorts Of revolutionists have been ad-
mtted without hesitancy. Why. then. bar
Mrs. Pankhurst, even though she be the
English revolutionist
"Our cause has been the victim Of a
great wrong. But again the edict Is man
made II points out the fact that arbi-
trary, rnan-made acts still will persist 20
the great injury Of our nation until wom-
en- are given the ballot"

CHICAGO WOMEN PROTEST
Telegraph to Wilson and Send
Words of Cheer to Leader.

Chicago. Oct. 1s-Suffragists forgot their
differences to-day. and at a mass meeting
Joined in protest against denying Mrs
Emmeline Pankhurst admission 20 the
United States.
Some were In tears as they expressed
their disapproval of the action OF the
immigration authorities, and after sew
eral strong speeches a resolution of pro-
test was adopted and telegraphed 70
President Wilson. and a message OF sym
pathy sent TO Mrs Pankhurst tenn
porary bureau will be established. 10 keep
sending 10 Washington objections TO the
treatment of the English suffragist. Sup
port to Mrs. Pankhurst was pledged in
this telegram:
I'VE. the women Of Chicago. regret your
detention and wish 10 assure you OF our
considerati ton, respect and earnest effort
Mrs. Pankhurst should have an ade-
quate and dignifed hearing In this coun-
try" asserted Miss Jane Adams, chair
man Of the meeting she should be per-
mitted TO enter without interference: but,
without any desire TO pass judgment on
her, one seems to feel that militancy Is
wrong method Of procedure"
IL am convinced that the admission OF
Mrs. Pankhurst cannot involve the suf-
frage movement" said Mrs. Ella Flagg
Young, superintendent OF Schools Il
cannot conceive OF any legitimate reason
for any difficulty between her and the
government over her entrance into this
country"
Grace Wilbur Trout. president OF the
al
sent a telegram Of protest to President
Wilson, and called a special meeting OF
the directors Of the association to con-
slider what aid could be extended TO the
famous English sunragist.
"Our association recently voted TO ex-
tend every courtesy to Mrs. Pankhurst
while she was I'm this country" said Mrs.
Trout. who was one OF the leaders In OBJ
tanning the ballot for Illinois women. 1T
will be a mistake TO make a martyr out
of her. In thie country we do not believe
in militancy, but In England conditions
are different-it Is really civil war there"
Mrs Trout's telegram to the President
follows:
I'VE deeply deplore the action OF the
authorities In ordering the deportation OF
Mrs. Pankhurst. which is not in accord
ance with the bigness OF our American
institutions. We have always allowed
political exies from other countries to
visit the United States. Men have never
been excluded. and why exclude women?
1T makes no difference how We feel in
regard to militant methods in England.
No one who knows the fact can doubt for
one instant Mrs. Pankhurst's honesty and
sincerity. Shall America show smaller
spirit than France? Mrs. Pankhurst's
daughter Christabel, who is even more
militant than her mother. fed TO France
recently and was given the protection Of
the French government.

EVEN ANTI-MIlITANTS

DR.. Shaw and Mrs. Catt Protest
Detention Younger Ones
Ready to Smash Things.

Even the most pronounced anti-mili-
tants among the New York suffragists
protested yesterday against the detention
OF Mrs. Pankhurst at Ellis Island.
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, who has no
use whatever for militant methods. pro-
nounced II an outrage" and Mrs Carrie
Chapman Gait said II was narrow

seryative leaders Of the cause was mld
in comparison with what the hot young
bloods had to say. The three who have
been IN prison in England with Mrs
Pankhurst were on the verge Of militancy
itself, and Miss Lavinia Dock vowed that

Mrs. Gait issued n statement OF protest
late I'm the afternoon, In which she said !:
1T IS very we'll known fact TO the
entire world that whatever violation OF
law Mrs Pankhurst has been guilty OF II
has been In the defence Of her political
opinion and that she is not in the ordl-
nary sense a criminal IL not guilty OF
moral turpitude'
Mrs. Pankhurst cannot hurt the coun-
try II she is given the opportunity to
speak. and. in my judgment. IT Is mar
row, bgoted point Of view which restrains
her"
'It is a disgrace to the American ma
ton" said Dr. Anna Howard Shaw
1T proves more conclusively than ever
that women need the ballot TO protect
themselves against discrimination because

British government. but / fear for u.s.
said Miss Elinor Byrnes. Of the National
Woman Suffrage Press Bureau.
"This action must have been taken TO
please the British government. or else
there has been a lack OF clear thinking"
Mrs. o. II. J.. Belmont uttered her pro-
test with her eyes-not with her tongue.
Flashing fire they were and her face was
crimson with anger as she came from the
telephone after hearing that the board
had decided against Mrs Pankhurst.
"rve nothing to say" she snapped.
Mrs. John Rogers, Jr.. was more voluble.
"Revolutionists, murderers and I'M
moral men are allowed TO come in and
are even invited 10 be citizens" she OBJ
served.
"Oh, yes, we shall give that dinner just
the same. Mrs Pankhurst will probably
be released under bond"

impulsively offered her cheek to be
kissed.
French Officers Cheer Her.
Mrs. Pankhurst got n regular ova-
ton from the officers and crew OF
French steamer docked on the other
side of the pier. AS, walking between
immigration Inspectors George Moore
and James McGregor. she NOV d down
the deck of the Provence TO take the
boat which was to carry her to E!lis
Island, the men on the other steamship
waved their caps and shouted Justify.
La femme brave! La femme
brave." they cried. Bravo! bravo!"
Mrs. Pankhurst, smiling, waved
them adieu, and then boarded the tug
John Nichols. on which she went to
Ellis Island. She decorated the cap
tain Of the Nichols with the English
militant colors-a bit Of purple. green
end white ribbon clipped from the knot
she wore.
Only Miss Wickham, Miss Keegan
and Miss Thornton were permitted To
go In the tug with Mrs. PanlShurst and
Mrs. Dorr.
Hopeful they all were when they
started: downcast three were Miss
wickham, Miss Keegan and Miss
Thornton when they returned TO New
York, after the board Of inquiry had
ordered Mrs. Pankhurst deported. So
troubled was Miss Wickham that she
quite forgot 10 give Mrs. Pankhurst
the bunch Of white chrysanthemums
which Mrs Frederick B. Hazard, OF
Syracuse, had sent to her, and which
Miss Wickham had been carrying
around all day. She rushed back with
them from the landing after she had
started home. however. so Mrs. Pank-
hurst got her chrysanthemums.
But Miss Keegan. though downcast.
said suffrage would be the gamer, no
matter how the authorities decided
about Mrs. Pankhurst.

Fighting king Asquith."

Before Mrs. Pankhurst was taken TO
Ellis Island she was standing with the
two Holloway Gaol Alumn@," when
Miss Keegan spoke Of Premier Asquith.
That is the point" commented Mrs.
Pankhurst 1T is not King George
against whom we are in revolt, but
King Asquith.' He is a stubborn old
gentleman, who alone is holding back
the vote for women.
You have heard how he put througt
the cat and mouse act? 1t Is torture.
Have you ever seen cat with a
mouse? How 1t plays with It's victim
That is what they do with u.s."
She told of her intention TO devote
the receipts of her lectures 10 the mill
tant fund in England. She was re-
minded that Sheriff julius Hamburger
had said he would have twenty dep
uties to prevent any attempt at sedi-
tion or melting 10 riot.

When the tug arrived at Ellis Island
Inspector Moore took Mrs. Pankhurst

Inspectors S. A. Eppler, chairman Of
the board; A. p. Shell and Assistant
Superintendent L. c. Steward were

Mrs. Pankhurst entered the room
alone. Even her lawyer was not al
lowed to go with her. AS, under the
rules, the inquiry was separate from

But Mrs. Pankhurst's story Of her

With Mrs. Dorr, who was "volun-

the Commissioners suite-two rooms in
the Administration Building. The
rooms are comfortably furnished and
the best in the building. They are the
ones in which Castro and Marie Lloyd

Pankhurst can see the Statue Of LIB

Mrs. Belmont would say nothing all
day. In the evening, though. she broke
her silence long enough to say that
the action OF the authorities was afro
cious" But she would say nothing OF
her plans TIL after Mr.. Reeves re-
turned.
Mrs. Blatch did not say much. but
instantly got into action. Early In the
afternoon Samuel Untermyer tele-
phoned her that II he could help Mrs.
Pankhurst in any way, he was at her
service. Mrs. Blatch and Mrs. John
Rogers, Jr., tried to go to Ellis Island
with this message to Mrs. Pankhurst,
but IT was too late. SO they and other
suffragists will go on the o'clock boat

woman. whose appearance might be
called motherly. She was a widow
she said. She had no occupation. Her
voice as she responded TO the formal
questions which began the inquiry was
that of a woman of good breeding.
She is small and seemed physically
unable to carry on the campaign which
set John Bull by the ears. Her figure
is slight-almost girlish-her face has
none of the harshness which would ad-
wise the burning Of homes; the lines
and wrinkles are those OF suffering
rather than Of age. Her hair is quite
gray. She was dressed almost demure-

Examined on Shipboard.

Mrs. Pankhurst's first intimation OF
trouble was when she was walking the
deck OF the Provence, coming up the
Bay with her companion, Mrs. Rneta
Childe Dorr. George Moore. an immi-
grafton inspector, approached ana
asked her to accompany him to the
music room. Mrs. Dorr and the others
crowded around.
You have been arrested in England,
have you not, Mrs. PankhurstT was
his frs. question.
"Oh, yes" she answered. several
times" 1t was as If she had been
asked 10 have a cup Of tea.
Then the inspector, skimming over
the questions. informed her that It was
his duty to detain her until the inquiry
was held.
Il am delighted with Mrs. Pank-
hurst" said the inspector later Il am
sorry the whole thing had to come
about"
As soon as the ship reached her pier
Mrs. Pankhurst was surrounded BY
those who had gone to meet her. These
included Miss Joan Wickham, her ad-
vance agent; Miss Lavinia Dock, Of the
Henry Street Settlement; Mrs. Henry
Butterworth, Miss Mary Keegan and
Miss Elsie Mackenzie.

Of dishonor."
After the passengers OF the Provence
had departed. an official Of the French
Line announced that special tug was
waiting TO take the militant to Ellis
Island. The little party went down to
the pier, and here a customs inspector
approached.
"You can't take that trunk unless II
IL examined" he said.
Cant you examine it?" she asked.
The inspector replied that he was
only q steerage inspector.
What will happen?" was her next
question. She was told that she would
