No ESCAPE FOR
SUFFRAGIST FOE
Formal Challenge for Joint
Debate Mailed Last Night
to Albanian.
WOMEN TAKE ACTION
Mr.. Helm Allowed to Select the Time
and Place to Defend
Himself.
WOMEN TAKE ACTION

Mrs. Owen Kildare, who has devoted
herself to the cause Of the unfortunate
and proven their eloquent champion in
her books and in numerous magazine
articles. yesterday prepared and sent q
formal challenge to Representative Tom
Hefiin of Alabama to meet one of the
fair sufrragists and defend his denounce-
ment Of their efforts, which he made at
Falls Church, Va. last Sunday. Mrs.
Kildare prepared the challenge In behalf
of a large meeting of indignant sufYra-
gists held in the District National Bank
Building on Wednesday night. at which
resolutions were passed demanding that
MIR. Hefiin be drawn to account at a
joint debate for his 'ill-chosen state
ments." The question is:
Resolved, That the women Of the
United States should have equal fran
chise rights with men,
I'VE. suffragists. have decided to &c
after Mr. Hefiin and give him every op-
portunity of sustaining the charges that
he brought against us at Falls Church. -
Mrs. Kildare said last night. There are
hangers-on in every movement" she
continued but most Of us who are CIV
ing our time and efforts to the cause OF
equal suffrage are actuated by entirely
serious motives. / myself believe that
giving the ballot to women will mean
the accomplishment OF many reforms 10
eliminate much needless misery and suf-
fering from the world
The challenge. which was forwarded
10 Mr.. Hefiin by registered post last
night. invites him to set the date and
hour some time before March = The
suffragists promise to provide a suitable
place.
Mrs. Kildare states that il Mr.. Heflin
was earnest in his charges. he must
needs accept the women's challenge and
make plain his grounds before the public
for his severe criticism of their cause"
Mrs Kildare has made a study of slum
conditions in New York. OF the sweat
shop evils there. OF the employment OF
little children in injurious occupations.
and she believes that when women are
given a part in the government they
will insist upon many reforms in the
interest Of many of their fellows who
are now condemned to lives of grinding
toll, penury. squalor. and disease She
was. therefore, particularly indignant
at what she calls the unfounded and
charges OF Mr.. Hefiin. The
letter OF challenge was signed by Mrs.
Kildare. Mrs. J. Otho Stevenson, and
Mrs Nettie Podell Gutenberg
The women announce that they are on
the trail of Mr.. Heflin and that they in
tend to stay there until they have OBJ
tanned full satisfaction.

OF the District that those affairs de-
manded for the proper government OF the
Capital. lie said that If they wished to
