Anna Howard Shaw, president sf the National American Woman Suf- frage Association, has instituted equity proceedings to enjofn the Del aware County authorities from selling at public auction the little automobile ..Eastern Victory to satisfy a tax as- sessment This announcement was made last night by Miss Lucy An thony, secretary to,Dr. Shaw who ad- ded that the suffrage leader was no longer a resident of this state but had made her home in New York since she returned from abroad in 1912. The officials claim that the $120 taxes are for arrearages due from Dr. Shaw since 1913. when the suffrage leader declined to make out a list of tax able property on the ground that she was mot a voter and therefore not subject to taxation.

THE HUIKS.

The first use of the t*hu1ks', or prison ship as a place of confinement and punishment for criminals was on July IS. 1776. just 13s years ago to- day, when a party of convicts. chained two and two by the leg. entered the first of the Thames hulks and began their 1aborss of dredging the river. The hulks were mostly old men-of- war, although some prison ships were constructed for this special purpose This form of Imprisonment continued for many years, but was finally abolished. Imprisonment in the hu1ks meant for the conv1cts Ito be em- ployed in as much labor as they can sustain: to be fed with legs and shins of beef, ox-cheek. and such other coarse food; to have nothing to drink but water or srnal1-beer; to be clad in some squalid uniform; never to be visited without consent of the over seers; and never to be supplied with any gifts from other persons, either in money or otherwise, Many des- perate battles between the convicts and their guards took place in the Thames hulks but very few men ever succeeded in making their escape.
