HOMES OFFERED
To MRS. HUDSON

ALBANY, Ga, Oct. 15.-Several
letters, offering her homes, and one
making a proposal Of marriage have
been received by Mrs. Benny Hudson
since she was acquitted last Wed
nesday in Dougherty superior court
Of the murder of her two little chill
dren, Robert. 10, and Lsaach, 4, for
whose death her husband, Glen Moore
Hudson, last week was sentenced to
be hanged on November IS.
AS to the proposal OF marriage,
Mrs. Hudson pushes that aside with
the remark that she has had enough
Of men. II have been married twice,
and both husbands were cruel to me ne
dren. I have had enough OF mar
rage"
As to the homes that have been
offered to her in letters from many
states, Mrs. Hudson takes a differ
ent attitude. These offers have af-
fected her deeply. She has turned
them hem, all over yer to her o, lawyers, W. H
We're appointed by the court to de-
fend her during her trial, and who
are continuing to help her in every
way possible. now that she has to
begin life anew. The attorneys will
investigate these offers and advise
her which one to accept. She still
has hopes Of finding some relatives
to whom she can go. But If this falls
she will accept one Of the homes
that have been offered her.
The people Of Albany have been
very kind to her, Mrs. Hudson says,
and many have been the offers She
has received to continue to make her
home here. But just now she feels
as though she ought to go to a dis
tant place and begin life anew. She
Is no longer staying in the county
jail to which she returned for a time
after her trial, but is comfortably
located for the time being at a prf-
vate boarding house, and here, also,
she has been offered a permanent
home. The children Of the boarding
house keeper have taken a keen fan
cy to her, and it is for this reason
that this home now is open to her
if she cares to stay. Albany women
have been most kind and generous
in their response to the appeals made
In Mrs. Hudson's behalf, and she
has been well supplied by them with
clothing. Substantial sums have
been contributed for her relief by
the citizens of Albany.

Uncle Sam Now Penalizing Marriage?

Following the issuance Of these
questionnaires, Miss Hin states,
large number Of married women have
been dropped from the rolls of the de-
partmnnts. without regard to their
efficiency. In many cases. she says.
married women Of long experience and
established value have been dropped
for no other dlscoverable reason than
that they are married, At the same
time she says, the civil service is hold
ing examinations for employees of
similar grade and kind
The object of the various depart
ments in dropping married women
from their rolls Is plain. They are
compelled to drop those who will suf-
fer least hardship as a result. Obvious
~, the married woman who has an
employed husband is less apt to suffer
from the loss Of her job than the sim
gle woman entirely dependent upon
her own resources.
The women recognize this motive
and its practical justification. They
realize that the bureau chiefs are not
trying to strike a blow at marriage.
But they claim that In effect it is a
blow at marriage. and also at the
right Of a woman to work and be in
dependent. 1t is this latter phase Of the
question which chiefly interests the
women politicians
