REPUBLICAN, PAPER
 PAYS WILSON TRIBUTE


 The Pittsburgh Gazette-Tlmes-a standpat Republican paper-publish. ed by U. S. Senator George T. Oliver, of Pennsylvania, pays the President this tribute:
 President Wilson's personal appeal to his fellow countrymen" to pre- serve strict neutrality in speech and conduct Is timely in It's proclamation and admirable In It's tone and purpose. In essence 1t Is a reminder that this country of ours is America, a grand fact which appears to have escaped the minds of some who would supple ment the continental conflict across the Atlantic by instigatlng controver- sies between natives of the countries now at war. Necessarily there are varying sympathies and hopes - it would be unnatural if there were not but the future of every naturalized son of Great Britain, of Germany, of Russia, of France, of Austra.Hungary, of Belgium. and of Servia in the Unit ed States is bound up with the people of the United States and not with the powers of Europe To all such, as well as to native-born Americans, the President remarks that the moral effect of the war upon the United States will depend upon what Ameri- can citizens say and do."
 President Wilson's proclamation de- serves to be read by every thoughtful man and woman, and 1t should be translated into the tongues of those people of the United States who "are drawn from many nations, and chief ly from the nations now at war"
 In a large way, whether there be implicit confidence in the Democratic party or not, President Wilson should be trusted to steer the American ship of state free of the infinite national perils of Europe's gigantic embroil- ment. Let us not forget that, much as game was made of his policy of "watchful waiting" with regard to Mexico, 1t is now almost universally conceded that that proved to be the wise course. Imagine us at war with Mexico at this juncture, with Europe in the death grapple of the centuries! And if the President. as he must be, is relied upon to see us safely as al nation through the complications of an international strife which touches us in our fortunes and estate, and in our personal comfort and prosperity, surely he may be needed when he makes such an extraordinary appeal for the restraints of prudence in our speech and conduct.

"Let Them Die, ;
 Hunger Strikers
BECOMING POPULAR SLOGAN BY
 THE BRITISH PUBLIC
cLERGYMEN UPHOLD TT
All the Prominent People Interviewed
 ~ Expressed Themselves in Favor of the Proposal as Proper Treatment For MiIitants Who Resort to Hunger as Subterfuge.

London, June S-'Let them die, Is becoming a rather popular slogan In connection with the hunger str1k- ing suffragettes since the public has become so profoundly resentful of the actions of the militant women.
 It was reported today that the gov ernment had decided to take a step in this direction by introducing legfs- lation to indemnify the prison authori- ties against the consequences of al- lowing SuffragetteS to starve then- selves to death while in prison.
 The Evening Standard today inter viewed a number of prominent peo- pie, including clergymen, oD the sub feet, and all of the latter who are quoted by the newspaper express themselves in favor of the proposel.
 Father Bernard Vaughan, brother of the late Cardinal Vaughan, replied: There would be nothing ethically wrong in letting them die Let them start at once and make up for lost time"
 The Rev. Arthur Waldron, vicar of St. Matthew's Brixton, said:
 "If the women refuse food they should be allowed to die.''
 The Rev. Richard Free, vicar of St. Clements. Putnam, replied:
 q think the suggestion very good. I have advocated it for many months. '
 Several of those interviewed de- nounced impartially both forcible feeding and the hunger strike" while Wiloughby Dickinson, Liberal mem Der of parliament, Lady Cowdray and Lady Muir-Mackenzie dismissed the suggestion as preposterous.

MODIFIED ACTIVITIES OF
 MILITANT SUFFRAGETTES.
Disturbances Confined to Horse Show and Defacing Interior of Church.

London. June 9.-The activity of militant suffragettes was confined yes- terday to disturbances at the horse show and challdng Votes for Women all over the interior of St. Edmunds ' church at Northampton.
 No cabinet council will be held for a week. It Is therefore reasonable to suppose that no fresh Legislation against the militants has yet been de- cided upon; but parliament reasseGi- bles today and some information may be forthcoming as to the intentions Of the government.
 The reports regarding proposed bill to indemnify the prison authorities against the consequences of allowing suffragettes to starve themselves tn death so far rest only on the authority of newspapers like the Evening Stan dard. which is conducting a strong antf-suffragette campaign. The Stan dard asserts that it has possession or plans of the Womens Social and Pc litical union for burning the Hampton court palace, the Stratford-on-Avnn church, Kings College chapel at Cam bridge the Bodlieian library at Oxford and the Litchf1eld cathedral.
 The militants do not appear to be concerned at the threat to prosecute subscribers to their funds. One of the leading organizers said: {,
 For the government to take such action would be like putting their heads into hornets nest; they would have to prosecute women nearer home than they think. Our subscribers are con nected with members of the govern ment, and the wealthy women who help our war chest have influential rela- tives who, although neutral now, would not remain so in the face of prosecu tion."

REV. cRANsToN BRENToN
 DEFENDS HIS ACTIONS. Tells of Abnormal Nature of His F or mer Wife in Conspiracy Suit at Hartford

Hartford. Conn., June S.-Rev. Gran stori Brenton today entered a general denial of the charges made against him and Dr. Paul Waterman and Dr. o. C. Smith by Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis Holman in her suit for $50, ,00e damages for conspiracy to imprison her in m insane asylum. Asked by counsel iwiy he considered 1t advisable to conf1ne his former wife to an asylum, he gave some sensational answers.
 He said it was because his wife had threatened to commit suicide on sew eral occasions; because she carriel poison tablets around with her, an.1 because she had threatened to kill their child.
 He said also that his wife had n1- merous infatuations, and on one of these occasions she called upon him to get her out of the difficulty, only to taunt him later because he did not su = ceed.
 Mrs. Holman told him, he said. that she compelled admiration from all the men she met.
 As a further reason, Prof Brenton said his wife had correspondence of an abnormal nature with a man she had never seen and gave him $1.000. He added that sine obtained the money from her mother under false pretenseS Her paterna1 grandmother had com mitted suicide as had other members of her family; he was fearful that she too, would try to end her life.
 She had always lied to me-" he said, and said she always would. Her comp1icity was remarkable. Finally. there came into my possession a series of letters written by her and MT. Hol- man of such an extreme and suggest i've nature that I feared grave moral and physical eMects would result un- less the relations hfnted at in the let ter were broken off"
 Some of the letters were introduced as evidence. They were couched in tke most endeaing terms and were all that Prof Brenton declared them to be Prof Brenton will be on the stand again tomorrow.

Bryan's Lecture
 Tours Censured
REP. BRETON WOULD MAKE IT
 PENAL DEFENSE
NO LECTURING FOR PAY
BiI Introduced in House to Prevent Any High Federal Officials Lectur- ing For Money Under Penalty of $1o,oo0 Fine or Imprisonment For Two Years, or Both.

Washington, June S-Secretary Bryan's lecture tours cropped up in the house again today when Repre- sentative Britton of Illinois, repub- hcan, introduced a bill to make it penal offence for any cabinet officer, head or clerk of a government de- partment to lecture for pay. other than actual hotel and travelling ex- penses and to prohibit senators or representatives from featuring for pay while congress is in session. Of lenders would be fined s10,000 or inn prisoned for two years or suffer both penalt 'es.
 MT. Britton launched a broadside in a statement accompanying his bill in which he spared no political party and reSentative Murdock. He said:
 This bill was prepared last Sep tember but was not introduced when Secretary Bryan formerly declared that he would lecture no more during the period. The recent announcement from Philadelphia that several mem bers of congress and the distinguish ed secretary of state had signed con- tracts for a period of lectures begin ming July l is responsible for my bill.
 Laughing Stock of Nation.
 T am at a loss to understand how the secretary can consistently leave his office when a state of war prac- tically exists between this country and Mexico and the foreign policy of our government Is being laughed at by every civilized nation on earth. The certainly is no time for MT. Bryan to be hiking around the country doing one night stands with Tyrolean yod- lers, contortionists and sleight of hand artists, and l am equally opposed to members of congress doing this sort of thing when congress is in ses- sion.
 The Philadelphia announcement de- clared that Secretary Bryan, Senator La Toilette and Congressman Mur- dock had signed contracts for lec- lures beginning July 1. Speaker Clark last year cancelled contracts at a loss to him of $10,000 on account of his aversion to being away from congress. I purpose to ask the house judiciary committee for a hearing with view to some action along this line"
 Secretary Bryan announced some time ago that all his lecture engage ments for the coming summer were contingent upon the state of foreign affairs.
