EX-OFFICER FILES
CHARGES AGAINST
OCCOQUAN HEADS

Quickly following her dismissal as
night officer of the District work
house at Occoquan, Va, Mrs. Vir-
ginia H. Bovee. OF Oil South Lee
street, Alexandria, today filed sensa-
tional charges against William II.
Whitaker, superintendent OF the in
stitution, and his administration.
The charges were made in an afr
davit filed with the National woman's
party, following Mrs. Bovee's dis
missal from the institution, because,
she alleges, she was friendly to suf-
frage prisoners there.
Mrs. Bovee, in her affidavit sworn
TO before a notary public, declares
that girl prisoners at the workhouse
are beaten.
BIames Only whItakers.
Superintendent Whitaker and his
son, she declares, were the only ones
who ever beat prisoners. No other
officer Of the institution had punitive
powers.
Her first charge against the Coco
guam management concerns the hold
ing up OF mail for the suffrage pris-
oners by Mrs. Herndon, the woman
warden. Letters for prisoners, she
declares, were frequently destroyed
by the Occoquan authorities and mail
for the suffraEettes was held up until
the completion of sentences.
She declares that the bedding for
the common prisoners was changed
only at long intervals and that this
rule was not broken, even when a
h. kal l.
a discharged prisoner.
Prisoners with communicable dis
eases are not isolated quickly enough,
she says.
Same Sonp For All.
Mrs. Bovee declares the soap used
by the prisoners was common to all.
Every incoming prisoner was required
to take a bath, and the same cake
OF soap was used as long as It lasted.
There were worms in the beans,
hominy, rice, cornmeal, and other
foods used at the Institution, de-
clares Mrs. Bovee. Additionally, she
alleges that, although the penal farm
has a fine herd of Holstein cattle, the
prisoners get milk only on orders of
the doctor.
At the same time the suhrragettes
said that Mrs. Abby Scott Baker, OF
the woman's Party leaders, who Wis
tied Occoquan yesterday, was prepar-
ing TO file an affidavit OF how she
escaped the vigilance OF Occoquan
guards yesterday and broke away TO
investigate what she believed was the
sound of clanking chains.
BY running down the corridor. she
declares, she came face to face with
man in chains.

to send tobacco through your liberal
arrangement"
The liberal arrangement" referred
to by Mrs. Brisco is this:
Through the generous and patriotic
cooperation OF the American Tobacco
Company, this newspaper has been en-
abled to make q bargain under. the
terms OF which each quarter contrib
uted will do double duty.
In other words. The Washington
Times Tobacco Fund has been guar
anteed IS cents worth OF tobacco and
cigarettes for every quarter donated
to this fund.
what Packets Contain.
Each packet sent to the soldiers
will contain:
A package of Tuxedo tobacco
and four books OF cigarette pa
pers.
Three pouches of Bull Durham
tobacco and three books OF pa
pers.
Two packages Of Lucky Strike
cigarettes, twenty cigarettes in
each package.
A return postal card addressed
to the contributor on which the
soldier will pen his appreciation
and gratitude for the gift.
The arrangement is not only lib
eral, but enables contributors and
soldiers to save 20 cents in the initial
cost OF the smokes. To this saving
must be added the amount It would
cost a person in this country to ship
the packet to the soldier.
All Goes for "snOkeA.v
! None Of the money contributed to
this fund will be spent for transpor-
tation, packing or anything else. II
il all going for tobacco and nothing
else.

ployes haven't the slightest reason in

No one is exempt from contributing
to this fund. Everyone is included in
the draft. There are no age limits.
Each and every man, woman, and
! child who has a quarter. or more

| Always Ready To ObIIEe.
The Government employees will be
given a reasonable time in which to
contribute, and II 1t is found that
they are too busy to get away from
their desks to perform the patriotic
duty OF donating, ways and means
will be devised to send to the doors of
their departments to get the money.
The Washington Times Tobacco Fund
will be found always ready to oblige.
Practically all the contributions re-
eeived today were accompanied by
letters indoFsing the idea OF sending
tobacco and cigarettes to the soldiers.

Secretary OF Commerce Redheld's
splendid Endorsement Is expected to
prompt the employees OF his depart
| ment to exert every effort to outstrip
all other Government workers in pill
ing up quarters for the fund.
In speaking of The Washington
Times Tobacco Fund, Secretary Red
field said:
~ am sure the American people will
be glad to add to the personal com
forts OF our boys who are fighting
their battle.
It's EVerybody's Cause.

cause OF every one Of us.
Let the boys have their smokes
and have them generously. Let them
feel that we are all behind them and
that we think and care for them. So
shall we add at once to their COM
fort and their lighting power"
Mothers, wives, sweethearts. friends,
business men and just plain con-
tTlDutoTs VINO are unacQualnted with
any OF the soldiers already "over
there" or who are going, write in
the most glowing terms OF the idea
OF providing our boys with smokes
throughout the duration of the war.
For instance, Isaac Cans, a promi-
nent business man and a moving
spirit in civic and patriotic affairs,
said today in his letter:
Enclosed please find check for
The Washington Times Tobacco Fund
for the soldiers.
High Praise For Effort.
This is a very laudable undertake
ing on your part, and am sure IT,
will be successful. and you will be-
able to obtain a sufficient amount OF
money to keep the soldiers provided
with tobacco"
