Conditions "so much woro tlian cotiM
lie ImnRlncd" were described graphically to.
lny by Minn Surnh Tomkins, ilniiKhter of
tho ltev. Kioyil W. Tomltlns. followlnK her
return Trom Wnnhlngton. whither she went
with tho l'hllndelphla suftrnRlst delegation
t register her protest nRnlnat the treat
ment accorded "political offenders." Tlshtly
sealed windows, curtailed privacy nnd en
tiro lack of proper exerclso or tho most
ordinary hygienic precautions nro among
tho horrors sho found at tho Washington
Jail, u Tcdernl Institution, whero the suf
frago pIckctR nro ronilned because they
brolfo tho law of tho District of Columbia.
"Tho most terrible thing of nil to me,"
miss TomUlnS recited with tears In her
voice, "was the way women nt all classis
wero huddled right In with the other
prisoners, no attempt being made ccn to
exerclso the commonest precautions to pre
vent contagion. Tho condition of tho bath-
tubs nnd hlanhctH used In common by nil
tho women prisoners was appalling. Yet
our girls were denied tho use. of their own
garments and had to uso the Jail blankets
provided or go cold.
"Tho food was not only execrable, but
chosen without any regard for suitability.
Fancy salt pork twice a day, at the very
tlmo that the Government Is urging the
nation to rut down on Its uso of these
heavy meats. . Taken In connection with
no exercise and our pickets arc tome
times deprived of their 'political' right to
exerclso for six days at n time such a
diet Is enough to wreck the health of
tho most vigorous."
Miss TomkliiH herself had not been per
mitted to see Miss Paul In tho psychopathic
ward, though Mist Kutzensteln, after many
pleas to Warden Zlnkham, had finally been
accorded tho privilege. Miss Lydla Iock,
however, another member of tl.o "protest
log party." had talked to her for an hour
below tho windows of tho psychopathic
ward.
"The whole behavior of the warden was
shifty nnd evasive at every point," accord
ing to Miss Tomkins. "He. made It plain
that ho Is acting under orders of those
higher up.' and hardly dares to accord
our pickets considerate treatment, even
wero ho so Inclined. That's what makes
ones blood boll: to think that every day
wo hco (lerman suspects nnd other danger
ous political offenders running nt large
quite untouched by the law; and then think
of women like Lucy Hums nnd Alice Paul
singled out for the maximum severity tho
tn win pcrmil.
Another delegation of twenty-five women
sympathizers started for Washington nt
10:30 this morning, women readv to leave
homes, families or responsible business positions,-
as tho case may be, to light for tho
causo they believe vital to nil women.
Prominent nmong them nro Miss Mary
Ingham, acting secretary of tho National
Woman's Party; Miss Martha Davis and
Miss Klla Itlegel. Miss Klegol,.an experi
enced suffrage worker, is a srrndunto of
Hryn Mawr, whero by odd Irony she
studied political economy under "Prof.
Woodrow Wilson."
Miss Elizabeth McShane, former Vnssar
graduate and social worker, returns also
to Washington today to receive her sentence
tomorrow morning, the result of her trial
having been set over from last Tuesday.
Ilelng ono of tho most aggressive of tho
plcketers, she is quite prepared for n penalty
of nt least thirty clays.
