SUFFS SEEK ISSUE
in WORKHOUSE CASE
Their Attorney Files Brief in Ap-
peal Against Transfer.

Can any prisoner be lawfully sent
to the government workhouse at
Occoquan. Va?
The question raised by the suf-
frage pickets will be argued in the
United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals in Richmond. early in April
Tomorrow Matthew f. O'Brien, at
( torney for the suffraEists, will file
his reply to the brief filed by at
torneys for w. II. Whitaker,
former superintendent OF the work
house. appealing from the decision
of United States District Judge
Waddill. when the suffragists
brought writ OF habeas corpus
in November. on the ground that
forty-onN piCkets had been sent to
OccoQuan workhouse and were held
there without any legal justifica-
tion. Judge WaddilI ruled that the
transfer of the prisoners from the
District Jail to the workhouse was
unlawful
In his brief Mr.. O'Brien declared
there was insufficient justification
for moving prisoners from one insti-
tuition to another. and that no one
has authority to add TO the sentence
imposed by the trial court an extra
burden OF humiliation, such as the
wearing OF the workhouse garb.
The brief filed on behalf Of Mr
Whitaker urges The Importance OF
the case, as the Commissioners of
the District are defendants in eight
damage suits aggregating $500. 900,
because of the alleged illegal act
OF transferring some OF these pris-
oners.

Frank W. Persons. director general
Of the department OF civilian relief OF
the Red Cross. has announced that
all American soldiers on their way
overseas will have their comfort looked
after by board representative Of the
home service section OF the Red Cross
while aboard transports.
Mr.. Persons speaks as follows re-
garding the services TO be rendered by
such representatives:
These home service men will have a
two-fold opportunity and duty: First.
TO learn, by personal conference, the
anNieties Of the soldiers. on board, and
TO forward knowledge Of these TO our
department. and secondly. to send
communications from the man in the
service to his family. The soldiers In
the camp are not told very long I'm
advance that they are to go abroad 1,
as this is not wise from a military
standpoint The men have very little
time TO communicate with their friends
before leaving. IL on the voyage there
is some one with whom they can talk
over family matters and by whom
they can send word TO their families
they will travel with lighter hearts
and be ready TO give the Red Cross
opportunities for help.
There will be on the transports as
many men as are necessary to look
after the comfort OF the departing
men. They will return TO prepare their
reports 10 the Red Cross.
