SAY HUSBANDS
WOULD LEAVE
If PENSIONED
GRASS WIDOWS

New York March 12.-"Grass Wild
ows should not be pensioned." declared
Miss Grace Strachan, president of the
Interborough Association of Women
Teachers, speaking today before the
commission appointed at Albany last
year to report a plan for pensioning
widowed mothers with dependent chill
dren.
"They should not be pensioned," she
continued, for the simple reason that
the plan would encourage a good many
men to leave their wives. Many hus-
bands haven't the heart to leave their
wives because they don't know how
the wives viii live without them. With
the state stepping in, things would be
different"
Miss Alice Robbins, president of the
Brooklyn Neighborhood Guild, differ
ed with Miss Strachan. Grass wild
ows should be supported" she de-
clared. They should be helped by the
state, because many women who are
known as grass widows have run away
from drunken, dissolute and worthless
husbands"
Miss Sadie American, head of the
Jewish Counsel, thought too much
sentiment had been wasted on the
widow.
why should we think of the wild
ows at all?" asked Miss American.
1--WE should think of children. There
is an emotional wave of charity sweep
ing across the country and in this
wave the children are forgotten, while
tba SooaIIed deserving widow is al

six months Imprisonment
The public prosecutor in addressing the
Jury on behalf of the government said
that one might well doubt whether the
prisoner was in her right senses. There
was, however, no medical evidence to
show that she was person not respon-
sible for her actions
Miss Richardson has ben on a hunger
strike since her arrest. In replying to
the charge today she said that her act
was premeditated and then pleaded guilty.
Miss Richardson's Defence.
Addressing Judge Robert Wallace, who
presided over the court, Miss Richard
son said she had been art student but
cared more for justice than for art She
said she firmly believed that when the
nation had shut it's eyes to justice and
preferred to have women who were fight
ing for justice maltreated and tortured
such an action as hers should be under
standable
She added that the slow and premeditat-
ed murder of Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst
was an ultimatum which brought about
the outrages. The nation, she continued,
seemed dead or asleep, for the women
had knocked vainiy at the doors of min
listers. bishops and archbishops, and even
of the King himself. She concluded:

KENTUCKY PLANS TO

in Louisville Courier journal.

The movement to eliminate Hitter
acy from within the borders of our
State must commend itself to every
one who loves his fellow-man, or even
to those who love their State and wish
to maintain State prestige. Such a
movement has been on foot for three
years in a portion Of Kentucky and
has now extended it's activities to all
parts of Kentucky. This movement is
full Of vigorous life, being conducted
by the Kentucky Illiteracy Commits
sion from its central office at Frank
fort, KY.
This movement has been persistent
ly, consistently and eloQuently elab-
grated and explained by Mrs. Cora
Wilson Stuart, president of the Ken
lucky Illiteracy Commission. Through
and by the aid of moonlight schools
Mrs. Stuart attacked illiteracy in
Rowan county. Kentucky, during her
incumbency Of the office of County
Superintendent. She, with the assist
ance of her loyal teachers, practically
eliminated illiteracy from Rowan
county, thereby demonstrating tbs
feasibility of any and all campaigns
based on like methods, conducted bS
