 60 JAIL DAYS

(By Review Leased Wire.)

WY AsHINGToN. July 17.-sixteen MAI women suffragists, arrested " while participating in the Wo- mans Party Bastile Day dem onstration in front of the White House, were sentenced in police court today to serve 60 days in the District of Co lumbia workhouse for obstructing the sidewalks.
 The women were given the alterna- tive of paying S25 fines but they promptly refused the offer and were taken to the workhouse at 0ccoQuan, g Va, and turned over to matron who saw that each got a shower bath and exchanged her clothes for heavy one piece prison dress.
 In Sewing Room
 Tomorrow they will be assigned to the sewing room of the prison, where they will work several hours daily.
 Tonight the party's headquarters here was in furry of uncertainty over the question whether the women
  tences without protest or whether their cases should be appealed. Early in the evening there was a positive an nouncement that there would be no appeal, but later that was recalled and it was said there probably would be no decision until tomorrow.
 
 Although no one at headquarters would confirm it there were indica- tions that the course of the women's friends might be determined finally by the attitude of Dudley Field Malone. collector of customs at New York, who came here to testify for the women and later asked the court to be per mitted to act as their counsel. The request was granted, Police Judge Mullowney giving him temporary auth ority to act as member of the Wash ington bar, but instead of taking any legal steps on behalf of the women MT. Malone went to the White House for a long conference with President Will son.
 Lawyer Perturbed
 What happened at the conference was not revealed, but MT. Malone was considerably perturbed and there were many rumors that he had resign ed his collectorship and would take up actively the fight of the suffragists.
 These run.Srs MT. Malone would neither deny or affirm.
 First of Sentences
 Today's sentences were the first of more than three days duration impos- ed on any of the suffragists since the police began interfering with their White House picketing. Addressing the defendants, Judge Mullowney de clared his duty was exceptionally diff ficult as there were women of posi- tion, refinement and intelligence. He said their acquittal, on the other hand, would be a dangerous precedent of ju- dicial sanction to infractions of the law. During the trial the court re- peatedly had promised suspension of judgment fthe women woul dprom- ise to discontinue the White Rouse picketing.
 Trial Turbulent
 The progress of the trial was tur- Dulent and the judge finally was com pelled to threaten spectators with election for applauding The women recently reiterated. however. that they were arrested at the instance of some one in the administration" and the judge finally gave voIce @ his impa- tience and said any further declama- tions of that kind would be considered contempt of court.
 The women, on their conviction, were taken to the jail and then put aboard a train for the ride to Occo- quan, about 25 miles distant. Their names follow:
