Washington, June 27-The wur fund of the militant Suffragists of the Nationals woman's Party was depleted to the extent of $225 yee- terday for nine of their pickets. arr rested for their activities at the gates to the White House, were required to deposit $25 each at police head quarters to guarantee their appear ance before Judge Muilowney in the police court today to answer a charge of violating the Peace and Order Act
 The pickets taken into custody were Mrs. Annie Arneil of Whining ton, Del: Miss Maude Jamison of Norfolk. Va.; Miss Virginia Arnold of Ashevtlle, N.

RED GROSS OPEN
 ID CATHOLIC NUNS Acting Chairman Denies RumOr in Letter to Cardinal Gibbons

Baltimore. June 27.-To offset ru- Mors which has been put in circula- ton, to the effect that the American Red Cross was discriminating against the, nursing sisterhoods of the Catho- lie church. Cardinal Gibbons took up the matter with the. Red .Cross and has received the following letter from Elliot Wadsworth, acting chairman of the American Red Cross:
 Your Eminence: The question of the attitude of the American Rcd Cross toward utilizing the services of nursing sisterhoods has been raised several times lately. It might almost appear from the form of some of these questions that rumor was be- ing deliberately circulated that the American Red Cross was in an unfav- orable attitude toward allowing tho sisterhoods to assist in the care of wounded soldiers and sailors.
 During the Spanish-American war a number of members of siSterhoods wore garbs while serving as nurses. in military hospitals in Florida and elsewhere. Such service is pro- vided for by the rules governing the nursing service of tho Rcd Cross.
 Rule 9, of the duties of committees on nursing service of tho American Red Cross, adopted nearly 8 years ago, recites 1t is the duty of the commit tee to keep on flle lists of sisterhoods and othr orders and women volun- teers available for Red Gross relief work involving the care of sick or wounded, either in time of war or calamity.
 ''It seems advisable to state un- equivocally to you at this time that members of the nursing sisterhoods may wear their official dress while serving as nurses under tho Red Cross and that the Red Gross has no desire in any way to debar tho sisters on account of their dress. or on any other account. from serving their country as all other nurses will de- sire to do."
