 '1 do not believe in the so-called protective legislation for women forbiddiny them to engage in certain industrial occupations on the same lines as men," said Professor Cullis.

As a property boy. Lon Clancy drew his histronic inspiration from Richard Mansfield, king of trage- dians.

Monogqmic Marriage Plan

Los ANGELES, Nov. 19.-tP-H.
l.. Mencl1cn, editor of the American
Mercury. denied here today that he
had ever made utterance opposing
GuOnogamic marriage.
Commenting ON statement by
Mrs. Anna CarIin Spencer frOm At
Ianta, Ca, that she was ready to
explode bubble theories" of Ber-
nnrd Shaw and himself relative to
monOgamy, Mencken said:
'NIrS. Spencer, whoever she is
never heard of her befOre-hns
got the wrong sow by the ear. L
have always advocated mOnOgamic
marriage and have always opposed
pOIygnmy, free love, birth control
and allied things.
"Ny belief is that man is a nat
urnl mcnOgamiSt and mo- sensible
man wants two girls. i will al
ways oppose pOlygamy I'm or out of
marriage.
''I have no idea what Mrs. Spen-
Ger is referring to. L spoke about "a
month ago in Atlanta. but certainly
l did not make any such statement
or inference then, AS for MIR. shaw.
of course can't speak for him."

PURINELL TRIAL
WILL ROCK THE
LAND, IS CHARGE

BENTON IIARBOR, Mich, Nov. 19.-
P)-When Bessie Woodwork takes the
stand in court at the trial of King
Benjamin Purnell, her story of what
happened to young girls in the House
of David colony here will "rock the
country" Prosecutor George H. Book
walter said tonight. Marshaling of the
combined legal forces of state and
county already has begun. Bookwalter
said he will insit on the trial of the
king be held during the February
term of circuit court, which is the
earliest possible time. Boolwalter
added that he would flight to the last
ditch" an effort by House of David
counsel to save Benjamin from trial
because of the state of his health. The
king had to be carried into court yes
terday when he was re-arrested on a
new charge.
Benjamin, in my opinion, is pos
ing" said the prosecutor. "He is an
,, actor and he isn't half as sick as the
colony leaders make out"
Contrary to expectations, Purnell
will not be brought to trial on the
charges filed nearly four years ago by
the Bamford sisters and which were
the basis of a world wide search for
the cult head and the posting of re-
wards totaling $4,000 for his capture
Instead, the kings" chief accuser will
Jbe Bessie woodwork, young wife of a
Benton Harbor musician, to whom she
was married, according to her story, at
the order of Purnell while the girl and
4 Woodwork were members of the col
ony. 1t was the usual thing, Mrs
Woodwork said, for the brother OF
the Savior" as Purneu describes him-
self, to marry off" young girls after
they had submitted to the "blood puri-
flying rites" which the state charges
were but a cloak for his alleged Illegal
relations with them.
The Bamford sisters, both married
and now out of the colony, told similar
ceremonies of the 'rites" to which they
= said they and other young girls Were
forced to submit.
