Now York, March 16.—"A girl Is not
to blame for anything she does to get
a husband," Miss Vida Sutton told
feminist audlenoe at the Little Theatre
yesterday. She said it first In the char-
Isfactlon of being Informed yesterday
that one of the men, still in the Mont
gomery Jail, had been positively Iden
tified as John Williamson, wanted as
one of the gang who held up a mill
train near Birmingham two weeks ago
and robbed the malt car of a large
sum.
The man who thus professes to know
the-suspected yeggman is Dr. C. P.

has been locked up.
Custodians of all public art tress-
nres were today in a state of panic, as
heretofore every ffeah suffragette

imitators. There ts apprehension that
other women arined with hatchets
may be abroad. Large forces of »pe-

the true nature of this malady prop
er stops were taloea to eradicate this
Infection, the fundamental principle
being proper sanitary precautions.
This disease Is probably aa old as
history lUelf, and the Infection Is
distributed over a wide area, circling
the globe the width or 66 degrees, 36
north and 30 south.
Tropical and sub-tropical countries
suffer especially from tho ravages
oi this parasite—the moist, warm,
often aandy noil offering a favorable
home for tho development of It
This disease la no respector of
persons, and attacks all classes of
people, young and old—who come
Intimate contact with the polluted
soil.
This Is essentially a disease
soil polutlon arising from the fear
ful unsanitary conditions that are
found In some parts of our country.
The percentage of Infection Is not
nearly so high In cities and towns
with a sewerage system and paved
■treeU, for the simple reason that
tho Infected excrement la carried
away and destroyed, and la not al
lowed to be washed by the warm
rains over the surrounding country
tc thoroughly Infect the soil.
One person on a farm or In
school, suffering from thia disease
may Infect the whole community.
The Porto Rican Anemia commis
sion has reported treating 400,000
cases and that 80 per cent, of the
mountain people are Infected. Peo
ple supposed the paleness was due to
eating of fruits In varying de
gree* of decomposition, and also to
tho moisture ladea climate. '
This commission established field
hosplUla for the free treatment
thin disease and the people
■ponded wonderfully, coming In by
all klhds of oonvey^nots, some on
foot and others carried by their
friends on litters. ,The mountain
people of Porto Rico had suffered
for generations from the ravage# of
this parasite. Tho large coffee
plantations were hot-bods of Infec
tion—the people all suffering more
or less from "mazamorra," of .the
"ground Itch."
The department of field sanitation.
Georgia State Board of Health, Is
now making an agresatre compatgn
against this disease, the free dispen
saries haring been opened In Novem
ber, 1911, in Georgia. Since then thous
undo of Individuals have been frceJ
Grom the bondage of this enslaving
parasite and are becoming valuable
assets Instead of BablUtles.
The effects of this campaign are,
first—curative—by removal of the
parasite, and second—educational,
tho teaching of proper sanitary pre
cautions. This campaign lays spec
tat stress on tho building of the san
itary surface closet, the plans and
specifications being given absolutely
free by the Georgia State Board of
Health.

an hour before the wreck and at-the
scene thereof.
Following Dr. Martin's identifies'
tlon. Chief Taylor, of th# Montgomery
police, telephoned Special Agent Ball
of the Alabama Great Southern at Bir
mingham, and requested him to send
the negro fireman of the train which
waa robbed to Montgomery, to make
sure of tho Identification.
Dr. Martin InTormed Chief Taylor
that the yeggmen forced the negro
fireman to start the engine for then
after It was detached from the rain,
carrying only the baggage, mail and
express cars with It, and that after
starting It they made the negro Jump
from the cab. He says the negro got
a good look at them and will be ablu
to Identify Williamson.
Phillip Reilly, chief of the bureau of
explosives of tho United States and
and Canada reached Montgomery yes
terday and visited police headquarters.
Ho examined the explosives and de
clared that lie men can be prosecuted
In the tedoral courts for carrying ex'
plosives from one state to another,
which Is In violation of tho federal
statutes.
Mr. Reilly waa ready yesterday to
have them carried before United Stats*
Commissioner Elmore, to hold them on
this charge, had the habeas corpus pro
ceedings been held and the men given
their freedom or allowed ball.
Tho habeas corpus proceedings,
which were Instituted by attorneys
for the men, scheduled to come
yesterday at noon before Judge Gas
ton Gunter, were postponed until next
Tuesday at noon by consent
Following Dr. Martina Inspection of
Williamson and white tho Utter was
being taken hook to hU coll by Detec
tive R. a Cloud, he attempted to grab
one of the iron weighu on the scales
which were In the prison corridor Li
front of hla cell, but Detective Cloud
was too quick for him and pounced
upon him Just in time to prevent the
alleged yeggman from securing the
weight.
Detective Cloud says he has no dount
but that tho man would have tried to
fell him with the weight and make t
getaway.
tho Collins family tor many years, says
that "Judge or no Judge" there Is go
Ing to be no spanking this time. That
la, It she knows anything about It.
The unklssed-unoponked one, a pret
ty little blond, was preparing tor a
trip to Boston today when a reported
called.
"I have my opinion of that Judge,"
she exploded, as she tossed aside a bit
of blue silken lingerie, she had beeni
examining. "The Idea of hU ordering
a spanking for me.”
"Corrigan said that I wouldn't kiss
him. That la quite true. But why
should I when I realised that hla da-
sire to kiss me waa planned to win
commendation for him from hla adopt
ed meal ticket—my mother?"
He says that I wouldn’t go out with
him without my mother or a chaperon.
I have a pretty good memory, and, as
I remember it, there was bat once dur
ing our three years of married life
that he offered to take me out Then
be had four tickeU for the theatre and
told me to invite mother and a girl
to go. , >•) k („
"And at that,” she added, “when wi,
got to the theatre, we found that tho
tickets had been given him for tacking
up signs and were only good for the
gallery. And we were all dressed up
In our best!
Before we were married he told me
he bad a farm of a thousand acres or
so In Ireland. He said that he would
go to Lakewood to spend our honey
moon. After the wedding he fold mo
that hla remittance from the old coun
try had been delayed, and suggested
that we live with my mother until U
came.
"He lived there for many months
without again mentioning tho remit'
tance and the honeymoon.
“Then I told him be would have to
get out and provide a home for me.
He went away and returned a montn
later with the Information that he had
bought 'a nice little fiat In 188th street.'
"I went to the flat. It was a one-
room affair, right next to a sawmill
that ran night and day. And so I went
home and refused to kiss him, and re
fused to see him, and refused to have
any communication with him. And,!
which Included a Cockney factory girl,
a Parts mldinette, and an Italian peas
ant who murdered the lover who cast
her off because she had lost her beauty
working for her dowry.
“A girl must use her wits to get a
husband, for she's no more good with
out one than & kettle without fire." thp
old, blind Irish peasant, woman de
clares. “And no blame at alt to her tor
anything she does to get him. It's a sa<l
hour for the man or woman that goes
limping along through the world
alone. All any of us do bo wanting Is
work and a bit of love.”
Got Miser-* Gold; Wed Tree Lover
Then cam# tho story of the colleei
whose sweetheart could not afford
marry her. So she married John tho
Miser, who wanted a wife who would
eat nothing. She gave him nothing,and
when ha dies she took bis bags of gold
sad married ber true love.
I do believe tba't women are better
off married," Miss Sutton said after
ward. "All the sex antagonism of tho
present day la the result of tho per
version of natural conditions. Even
slit skirts are an outgrowth of the
perfectly natural and laudable desire
of women to be attractive. Women
should study the art of dross and learn
to be attractive through real art and
not go about like painted savages.
Well-dressed women abroad try to be
artistically beautiful rather than fash
ionably gowned."
Miss Sutton's own gown was a robe
of golden figured material made by
draping a double width over each arm
and shoulder up the side and the front
and back seams.
J do not wear It all the time,” she
explained. “When I walk I wear
