pect it, and Mr.. Malone and others who
went down to discuss the matter with
the women appeared to entertain strong
doubts upon their arrival at the insti-
tuition as to what the final decision
would be.
Before receiving official notice Of the
pardon, Mr.. Whitaker had asked Miss
Doris Stevens and Mrs. Beatrice Rey-
nolds Kinkead Of California what
would be their attitude If the President
should offer to hberate them. Both are
said to have replied that they had
committed no offense for which they
could be pardoned. and that they would
serve the full sentence unless President
Wilson got the suffrage amendment
through Congress-.
Convinced that this would be the at
titude Of all the women, Mr.. Whitaker
got into communication with Commits
sioner Brownlow and expressed tho
opinion that the women could not be
forced to accept the pardon If they pre-
ferred to serve the sentences. Commits
sioner Brownlow called Corporation
Counsel Syme into tho case and finally
the pardon attorney of tho Department
Of Justice was consulted. Both attor-
neys agreed with the view taken by
the worlhouse head, and Mr. Whitaker
was so notified by Commissioner
Brownlow

Many OF these men will have to wait
until tomorrow, 1T was said. before they
can get their serial number to learn II
they have been drafted.
The members Of the exemption boards
in the districts where the lists were
not ready today said 1t had been i'm
possible to comply as yet with the in
structions requiring the preparation of
the lists. as the work was more than
they could physically perform in the
time available.

ligent individual has a very definite, no.
ton OF the means whereby most Of Such
diseases may be prevented"
It is stated in the publication that In
fantile paralysis was first differen-
tiated by Heine in 1910, and since 1880
the conviction has grown that 1t is a
communicable disease. The disease
usually attacks children under five
years Of ago. although persons Of each
decade Of life to past fifty years are at
tackled.
In response to the question: What
can be done to limit its spread? the
writer answers: Early diagnosis; iso-
lation of the patient. especially from
any but immediate attendants; disin-
lection Of all discharges"

Time Limit on Acceptance.

Later, when official word was re-
ceived that the pickets could exercise
their own discretion in accepting or
rejecting the pardon, Mr.. Whitaker
communicated the fact to them. prompt
ly at 8:15 o'clock, with the statement
that they would be given until

Mr.. Malone resented a time limit being
placed on the deliberations and em-

occurred In the administration building
Of the female department. just after the
prisoners had donned their street at

Addressing his remarks to Miss Lucy
Burns. who had represented the sixteen
inmates throughout their Imprisonment
in sort of Quasi-1egal capacity, Mr..
Whitaker announced in the hearing of
the entire delegation that 1t would not

Makes It More Emphatic.

For a moment there was silence.
Then Mr.. Malone, showing every evil
dence of indignation. asked Mr. Whit
taker to repeat the statement. Looking
squarely at the attorney, Mr.. Whitaker
complied. repeating 1t moro emphati-
cally than before. Whereupon Mr.. Ma
lone. now thoroughly aroused. proceed
ed to tell Mr.. Whitaker what he
thought Of the management in general.
He said that the women had been
shown no consideration other than
what was due them under the law, and
that, II commitments were made in the
future, he would see that the inmates
were treated Just as well as those set
free by the President. Mr.. Whitaker
abruptly ended the controversy by tell
ing Mr.. Malone that he had not ad-
dressed his remarks to him and that he
did not care to hear anything he had
to say.
After Mr.. Whitaker had refused to
continue the controversy with Mr.. Ma
lone he walked over to his Office in the
male department OF the workhouse and
shortly afterward left by automobile
for Washington to obtain for several of
the ptckets their jewelry which had
been deposited for safe keeping in a
vault in the District building.
