WOMEN MAY DRINK
AT HONE, COURT SAYS
Police Have No Right to Inter-
fere, Is Ruling Freeing a Wife.

A man or woman may drink as
much as he or she desires in his or her
own home without the libations COM
ing within the jurisdiction Of a city
magistrate. In the case decided yes
terday by the Appellate Division it was
woman whose alleged incorporate
habits caused her commitment by a
magistrate, the higher court sustaining
n writ of habeas corpus and ordering
her release. "The police" said the
court, "have 10 jurisdiction TO invade
private premises 70 arrest females
who may be incorporate"
Mrs. Mariella Berry DIN, member
of a prominent Alabama family, is
suing Frank 4. Olin, steel merchant,
for separation. Olin caused his
wife's commitment by magistrate on
the charge Of intemperance. She was
sent to the city prison, and her bail
was fixed at $500. She denied the
charge of her husband and obtained a
writ Of habeas corpus. which was dis
missed by Justice Donnelly. Then Mrs.
Oln appealed to the Appellate Divi-
sion. Presiding Justice lngraham, IN
an opinion concurring in the decision
of the Appellate Division releasing
Mrs. DIN, said: -,
at was not the intention of the
Legislature 10 make person OF IN
temperate habits a criminal or to JUS
tify a magistrate in arresting or com
hitting such female, when disconnect-
cd with any of the other conditions

These conditions provide for the

WOMEN AS BABY JURY,
MRS. BELM0NT'S PLAN

Women should have been on the
jury which discussed the right of
DR.. II. J. Haiselden to allow the de-
fective Chicago baby to die, de-
clared Mrs. o. H. p. Belmont.
Both as mothers and as citizens
women should have an equal say in
any matter OF life and death for
their children" said Mrs. Belmont,
yesterday. "The Coroner might say
he only wished to have the medical
opinion of his jurors. In this event
l wish to point out to him that
there are numbers of women doc
tors in Chicago who should have
been asked their decision in this
highly important matter. In all
justice and fairness the woman's
side of this question should have
been represented in the final de-
cision.
"The Coroner, understand, says
that he chose the jury to repre-
sent different schools of thought, as
we'll as different schools of medi-
cine. He says: Il am acting for the
benefit of mankind and the advance
ment of the science of medicine
1T Is strange that in all this
thought for the benefit of mankind
1t never occurred to him that women
might be concerned in the matter
of their babies lives quite as much
as men,"
Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch gave
1t as her opinion that not one man,
but public board, should have such
power as DR.. Haiselden exercised.

DR.. Haiselden broke in and asked:
as it not true that doctors decide
this sort of thing for themselves every
day p" he asked. "The difference is
that there has been no publicity IN
their cases"
"Well, don't doubt that some doc
tors NAV do it," said DR.. Robertson
"But I think this case makes q danger
Gus precedent. 1t takes US back TO the
DAYS of Sparta, when a commission
used TO Judge whether or not child
was fl TO live"
Coroner Hoffman turned to DE-.
Haiselden and asked.
Don't you think it dangerous Gus
tom to allow one man TO decide?
"As long as the followers of certain
sects are allowed to bar physicians OF
all sorts from the bedside of suffering
men / shall consider it my privilege to
make decisions of this sort" was the
answer.
Replying to the Coroner DR.. Haisei-
den said that he took charge of the
case a few hours after the child was
born. "Dr. Serviss, who attended Mrs.
Bollinger, and the father came to me-"
he continued.

Four young inmates, thought TO be
defective. escaped last night from Ran
dsll's Island. rowed through the gale
to the Bronx shore and started for the
West. The journey for two, an eigh-
-year-old boy and pretty, mud
stained girl, ended at St. AIMS Ave-
nue. and l32d Street, where they were
captured after two blocks chase
through the New Haven freight yards.
The others, two boys, who, according
to Patrick Hoy, one of the prisoners,
Matched the scheme, were, to use his
words, headed for Canal Street TO sell
the stuff they took" Then, he init
mated, they were TO begin the journey
they had planned.
Hoy told the police OF the Walton
Avenue station that ne was eighteen,
and lived at 229 West ll1th Street
His companion described herself as
Nav Newman. seventeen, of l45 Baltic
Street, Brooklyn. The police took from
them the goods they had intended to
sell that they might obtain carfare:
The outfit consisted of dozen pairs or
stockings, two sweaters, two shirts, 2
comb and brush and quantity OF soap.
Here is the tale the youth related 10
the authorities:
Several days ago two boys, Durkln
and Quinn, began to make arrange
ments for flight from the Children
Hospital. Hoy was taken into the plan,
IA was the Newman girl, although ne
insists he had nothing 20 do with work
ing out its details. A rowboat, IN
manner that was not included in the
tale, was obtained and left, securely
tied, to a bank of the island some DIS
.ance from the dock.
Last night after the inmates mad en-
gagged in their drill and were marching
book TO their quarters Durkin, Quini,,
and Hoy slipped out of the line ana
ran TO the boat. They were joined
few minutes later by the girl. who hed
the mess hall when she had finished
her supper. All took with them ar
ticles they thought might be useful IN
furnishing means for travel.
The four entered the boat and set
of through the choppy waters. al
took turns Mt the oars, the Newman
girl being relieved by one Of her com
panions when she became fatigued;
they tired quickly. and the shifting
from seat to seat was frequent. Inc
party had all it could do to keep the
tiny craft from capsizing, but managed
to land after the rough journey through
the Bronx Kills not far from the
freight yards.
Deserving their boat, the quartet be-
gan the second leg of their journey
afoot. Durkin and Quinn carried va
Uses we'll filled. the others bundles
hastily tied together. But their tramp
had not gone far before Patrolman
Anderson spied them. All he could
make out was four figures, obviously
burdened by their goods, creeping
stealthily along, falling. now and then
in the maze of switches.
He started after them, but they saw
him and ran, separating into two
SQUADS. Anderson followed one, and
caught Hoy and the girl within two
blocks. The boy still had his bundle,
but one Of his companions had dropped
his heavy suitcase among the tracks,
still carrying his stolen property under
his arm.
At the Walton Avenue station the
girl presented a pitiable sight. She
had been on RandalPs Island four
years, bat since she was eight she had
spent most Of her time in institutions.
