Doctors See No Peril
in Forcible Feeding

Physicians and specialists yesterday
sharply disagreed with Mrs. Sanger
assertion that forcible feeding admin

hunger strike resulted in permanent
injury to the digestive system.
DR.. William Mabon, superintendent
Of the insane hospital on Wards ISL

clared that the process was not at al
injurious. "a. -,

however. that there would be no undue

OF this.
Following this announcement on the
part OF MIR. Morgenthau, representa-
tive of the company went to Washing
ton TO learn whether this was the atti-
tude Of the President. He was only
partly successful in this mission.
At that time Secretary Tumulty
aroused some hope for the emissary OF
Hanff -Metzger by showing an interest
In the case. indicating that he wanted
TO see justice done. He inquired after
papers that would support The state
ments made and suggested that an au-
dlcnce with President Wilson be re-
quested.
But days passed and no word from
Washington was received. Letter after
letter had been forwarded to members
of the Democratic National Committee,
and up to yesterday all but one had

announcing that everybody in author
ity TO pass upon the matter was out of

On January l6 it was decided to make
another effort to learn what the Presi-

Ten days passed before any answer
arrived from Washington. When one
finally was forthcoming it indicated a
change of viewpoint on the part Of the
secretary. Whether this change was
the result of an interview with Presi-
dent Wilson is not known.
His answer, which ignored the first
question in the telegram, was as fol

stationery, bore the signature of Sec.

EDGE NSPECTS
JERSEY PRISON
After Seeing "HelI-HOle"
Says Contract Labor
Must Go

Trenton. n. j., Jan. 27-After in
specting the state prison at Trenton to-
day from hcll-hole to dungeon, Gov
ernor Walter +. Edge authorized the
announcement that the contract labor
system must go.
Warden Richard p. Hughes led the
gubernatorial party through the insti-
tuition, in which 500 prisoners are en-
ployed. II was Warden Hughes who
flung open the door OF mat shop No. 6
with the introduction:
"This is called the 'hell-hole.'
Mats are made there under contract
on antiquatod looms that compel the
artisans to labor with hands and feet.
The Governor picked his way care
fully among the machines, examining
the place with car and questioning
some of the prisoners.

the plague. And those machines

men were chained by the wrist in such
fashion that they could not assume an
upright posture, were Inspected Gov,
ernor Edge talked with the dismal
prisoners, and later got the other side
of the story from the warden. A negro
prisoner assured him that it wasn't
nearly so bad as the hell-hole.
Warden Hughes told the Governor
that men who had spent any time IN
the prison would take a term in a
dungeon any day in preference to being
set to work in No. s. AS severe
punishment, therefore, he said, prison
ers were sent to the mat shop rather
than to the dungeons.
The bath house was found IN i'm

the year. for during the fall and winter

DIPLOMAT VOPICKA
STILL DEMOCRAT
Minister at Bucharest Explains
Incidents of Career to Sec =
rotary Lansing.

Charles ]. Vopicka, American min
lister at Bucharest, who is here to
confer with theI Secretary of State,
believes democracy and diplomacy
may be mixed without doing violence
to tradition, but he denies stories that
he ruffled the Balkan rulers by disre-
garding the ethics usually observed
by diplomats.
Mr.. Vopicka. Chicago brewer, who
won his diplomatic post through
Senator James Hamilton Lewis be-
cause of his popularity in Bohemian
circles. is sublimely satisfied with
the fling he had as a diplomatist in
the European capitals, and is Inclined
to resent rumors that he is ain bad?'
Reports from abroad were to the
effect that he showed a lack of dis
cretion in an address at Prague, Bo-
hemia, when he criticised Emperor
Francis Joseph. of Austria, and that
at Bucharest he upset the dignity of
Queen Elizabeth ("Carmen Sylva)",
who referred to him as Curious"
Another story was that he boasted
of wearing a $12 shirt when he saw
Kings Charles, Peter, and Ferdinand.
Still another is that he had an ap
pointment with Queen Eleanor can
celed because he suggested that he
would call her on the telephone
when II was convenient for him to
call, but that she declined to await
his pleasure.
"of course. all the reports were ex-
aggerated to make a story" is the
way Mr.. Vopicka refers to the press
dispatches coming from Europe in
1914. when hesfirst went abroad.
1t was explained by Mr.. Vopicka,
however. that he did not think it was
necessary for him to explain to any
one but Secretary of State Lansing
any episode incident to his career as
