ALICE MRS. BART
LETT TAINTED
Lack OF Food Said TO Be the Cause.
Publicity Lid Put On
Censorship Cover cIamped Down Tight
at 0ccoquan

The following telegraphic dispatch
was sent out from Washington, Tues
day: Steps have been taken by super
intendent Whitaker to stop the cir
culation by the militant snffragettes
of reports that they are being i'll
treated and i'll fed at the Occoquan
workhouse where dozen of their
number are serving sentences, for
picketing the White House with BAN
ners.
Whitaker clamped the censorship
lid down tight yesterday, according TO
suffrage headquarters here. When
Miss Gertrude Crocker went to Deco
guam Sunday TO visit her sister, Miss
Ruth, who is imprisoned there with
Mrs. W. J. Bartlett of Putnam, Conn,
and eleven Others, she asserts Super.
intendent Whitaker admitted her
only on the promise that she would
not give anything to the public press
of what the prisoners might tell her,
or anything relative to their condition,
health or treatment which she might
obtain by talking with them.
This was probably the result of a
letter Miss Ruth Croker sent to Com
missioner Brownlow last Friday, al
leging the sufiragettes were living UNI
der intolerable conditions at occoquan.
Returning from the institution last
week Miss Croker charged that the
food was practically unit to eat and
that the extra food ordered by the doc
tors for the pickets had all been taken
away and that use of milk was for
hidden.
Miss Croker declared that because
OF lack of good food, Mrs. w. j. Bart
lett of Putnam, Conn, tainted last
Thursday and was taken to the ihospi.
tai. Miss Croker did not state
whether Mrs. Bartlett had been put In
the hospital for repeatedly breaking
the rules by talking rs the other suf-
fragettes had who were put In the hos
pital to separate thens
The other sufirageties had then been
moved from the sewing room. Miss
Crocker said, and were put to work
painting the toilet rooms of the col
ored prisoners. Miss Croker declared
they had to do the work on ladders
and work eight hours a day.
Mrs. Gibson Gardner, who has been
counsel for the pickets since August rs,
and has been making them daily visits
was Yesterday denied admission to the
workhouse. The reason, il WAS said,
was that she had been smuggling
food to the pickets which Is against
the rules.
A later dispatch says that
Five ex White House pickets at the
Occuquan workhouse Wednesday, on
being assigned to paint in the negro
quarters, went on strike. AS soon
as their sisters assigned TO other work
heard OF this they called sympathetic
strike, with the result thai the wheels
aren't turning at 0ccoquan so far as
the sufiragette inmates are concerned.
