TELLS OF NARROWING
EXPERIENCES IN INDIA
Mrs. Suhkoda Banerjee Outlines
Work Being Done to Save Child
Widows in Native Land.

Narrowing personal experiences IN
her native land which caused her to re-
nounce the faith of her people and
turn to Christianity were related last
evening by Mrs. Suhkoda Banerjee. a
Hindu Of high caste. to an audience
that filled the Metropolitan Baptist
Church.
Mrs. Baneriee told how she was given
in marriage at the age of nine and,
owing TO the fact that a clairvoyant
had told her husband that she would
never have any male children, was con-
demned to be fed to wild tigers. She
was fastened to a sedan chair, she
said. and placed at the edge Of the
Jungle. but at daylight. fortunately I'M
harmed. she made her way to the near
est highway.
Given hospitality by a low caste
woman, she was enabled to reach Cal
cutta. where she became a Christian
convert and has since devoted her life
to the saving of unfortunate child
widows of India and to the stamping
out of the custom that brings about
their condition.
In all Mrs Banerjee says she has
rescued 1850 young widows who have
been cast aside by their relatives. 1t
is her aim. she said, to obtain sufficient
funds in this country to enable her to
build a house of refuge in Calcutta.
where these unfortunates can be cared
for properly and converted to Christi
anity. Her work in India, she says, has
been greatly hampered by reason of
the inadequate quarters provided for
the reception and care of these child
widows.

ueyed such a movement could be car

There Is no doubt in my mind Or in

A statement to disprove the belief

favors local option policy. ~as issued
last evening by DR.. J.. A. Baker. gen.
eral superintendent Of the Anti Saloon
League of America.
somebody seems to be greatly over
working a letter written by President
the Anti Saloon League of New Jersey,
to DIR. Shannon, when superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League of Ne" Jersey
back in May, 1911, in which the Pfesl-
dent advocated the principle of local
option in dealing with the liquor traf-
fic, local option, then, as now, being
an issue in that state" said DR.. Baker
These busy folk who insist on hold
ing the President to these primary pol
icies of years ago overlook the fact
that in July of the same year the Pres
ident wrote another letter to +. W.
Grogan of Texas. while statewide
fight was on there. in which he said
he believed that for some states state
wide prohibition was possible and de-
sirable,' and that he had no reason TO
doubt from what ] know of the cir
cumstances that state wide prohibition
is both practicable and desirable in
Texas
The effort to make it appear that the
President favors only local option
policy, which has been abandoned in
many states because public sentiment
has outgrown it, In the face of his de-
clared belief in 4 statewide prohibi-
ton under certain conditions. is Ger
tainly very unfair to the President, for
it assumes that his attitude on the
question today is necessarily the same
as his attitude four years ago in the
face of the tremendous strides made in
the growth of public sentiment
