TUMULTY SHOT

Absurd Story Gains Wide Cir.
culation Throughout the
United States.

washington. Nov. E.-Newspaper ofices,
the government departments and even the
White House itself have been bombarded
recently by queries from many sections
Of the country concerning preposterous
stories about Secretary Tumulty. Usually
the uuestioner wants to know whether II
IL true that the presidents secretary has
been sent to Fort Leavenworth as a spy.
Now Mr.. Tumulty Is hearing from his
friends on the subject and tonight he
authorised this statement at the White
House.
For several days friends have written.
telegraphed and telephoned me from all
parts of the country stating lat rumors
are being assiduously spread alleging that
I have been imprisoned at Fort Leaven.
worth. All sorts Of fanciful tales are be-
ing passed from mouth to mouth by inno-
cent persons who are the victims Of a VS.
tematic and insidious propaganda to
weaken confidence in officials Of the
federal government. Offlcials of the de-
partment Of Justice are investigating the
origin Of this conspiracy to determine who
have been guilty Of actually starting this
faisehood."
No one has been able to account for
the circulation of these reports. Most of
them have come out Of the Middle West
and apparently they have been spread
from one end Of the country to the other.

Rose winslow. hunger striking In the

by the Jail authorities. Liquid food was
given them through rubber tubes. break
ing of fast of something over 70 hours.
Whether force was employed may be
always a matter of dispute. DR.. ]. A.
Cannon. the Jail physician. said 1t was
not and that both women took the nour-
ishment without protest. At the Woman's
party headquarters, however. 1t WIS in
dignantly asserted that such thing was
impossible.
The women pointed to Miss Paul'a
record at Holloway Jail in London, where
she endured tortures~- through forcible
feeding when she was an aide Of Mrs.
Pankhurst some years ago.
Miss Paul and Miss Winslow. who are
serving terms for so-called picketing OF
the White House, went on their strike
in an effort to compel the jail officers
to provide for their fellow pickets the
same special food-eggs and milk-given
them when they were transferred to the
hospital section. They insist that even
murderers in the jail are permitted to
make purchases on the outside to sup
plement their prison fare. and that only
the suffragists Of all the prisoners are
denied this privilege.
DR.. Cannon called in several other ply
sicians to-day to examine the strikers
and give their opinion as to the neces
sity for forcible feeding. 1t was agreed
that both women were in such a condi
ton that they must be fed.
Tonight the physician would say moth

The maximum number of pledges as
signed to the county was 10.6Ol. which is
based on four people to a family and the
minimum number was 5.S66. which allowed
seven people to a family. The census Of
1910 gives Chittenden county 9.4l7 families.
which Is probably nearer correct to the
total number of families in the county

the quotas shows the following:

1t cannot beunfair to allow 9.4l7 as the

probably no material increase over those
figures during the past seven years. So it
can be said that the county has secured

Many women who did not sign the
pledge cards gave assurance that they
