Doctors Arrest Is Asked
for Birth Control Test

DR.. Mary Halton, who is one of the
latest champions Of birth control, told
the Womens Legislative League yes
terday that the next logical step in the
fight for this issue was TO have Dr..
Morris Kahn. OF the Health Department,
arrested and prosecuted for dissem-
mating contraception information. She
ventured the prophecy that he would
never be convicted.
DR.. Kahn is in charge Of the tuber-
culosis section Of the Board of Health.
Recently he announced that under the
law he was a criminal, inasmnch as he
had been given out contraception pre-
scriptions.
Or. Halton. who was the chief speaker
before the league. at the Waldorf-As-
toria, said she worked daily in an East
Side clinic frequented by poor women,
many Of whom were tuberculous. She
said that Withholding birth control in
formation from these women meant
their death.
"Well, doctor. are you letting your
patients die? >" challenged a woman in
the audience.
"No!" shouted Dr. Halton. "And |
welcome investigation.
THE great trouble with birth control
at present is that many persons confuse
IL with criminal operations she con-
tinued. at is nothing of the sort, and
all the physicians who advocate birth
control are strongly against operations
except as sanctioned by law
Dr.. A. L. Goldwater, who recently
presented the resolutions before the
New York Medical Society proposing
that the society pledge its support for
repeating tho present anti-birth CON
troll laws, which we're defeated. said
some Of the strongest opposition 10
changing the statutes came from physi-
clans practising criminal operations.
Mrs. Amos Pinchot said the United
States was practically the only country
under the sun which opposed birth con-
troll.
"The taboo on this subject in the
United States is hdeous," said Mrs
Pinchot People do not look the facts
in the face"

Schneidenberg confirmed the state
ment that Mrs. Sanger had given out
the birth control leaflets. Mrs. Mar
garet Whitehurst, detective. told OF
visiting the clinic and telling Mrs;
Sanger that she was the mother OF
two children, and asking for the lit
erature and medicine. When she had
procured them, she arrested Mrs.
Sanger and her co-workers in the
clinic. Miss Ethel Byrne, Mrs. Sanger

testified Mrs. Dora Siegel. who said
that her eight-months-ol baby at home
would be left entirely alone after .
o'clock and that she feared he would
get the matches. Several other women
also testified that Mrs. Sanger had
given them the literature at the clinic.
Justices Gavin. O'Keefe and Her
man, in refusing to let the women go
home 20 their children late in the day,
said that they greatly regretted their
inability to do so. The case was ad-
journed until Monday, on which day
Emma Goldman also will be tried in
New York for disseminating birth cor
troll information.
Among the women present yesterday
were Mrs. Amos Pinchot, Mrs. John II.
Williams. Miss Jessie Ashley. Miss
