PLUNGES 10 DEATH
House of Correction Inmate
Makos Wild Leap From
Third-Story Window
RETURN OF GUARD HALTED
USE OF BEp SHEET ROPE
l.illlnn Fitzgerald, twenty-four years
old, a drug addict, jumped from a third
story window of the House of Correc
tion Hospital and received injuries
which caused her dt.ath this morning.
Tho woman was sentenced to thc
House of Correction for three months
Inst Monday by Judge MocNcillc of thc
Municipal Court.
Her craving for drugs, physlclmiR at
the hospital believe, caused her to take
the fatal plunge. She frequently begged
the nurses at thc hospital to give her
heroin or cocaine. Without thc drugs
she said that life wns not worth living.
The woman appeared to nurse the delu
sion that even though confined in prison
she could obtain cocaine. Efforts to
comfort her were futile.
Planned Escape In Bed
It was noticed yesterday that the
Srisoncr-paticnt was unusually quiet,
he appeared to be resigned to the fact
drugs were unobtainable. Instead of
railing nt tho authorities and venting
her opinioni on present-day reform.
shn rvad quietly in bed.
But it Is believed she was planning
then to esonpe. Her nurse noticed she
frequently looked at tho window from
which she later plunged to her death.
Shortly after midnight she feigned
sleep. In view of her quiet demeanor
during the day the watch which had
been maintained near her bed wa re
laxed somewhat.
An attendant in the ward went to
an ndjolning room. During her brief
absence thc woman pulled two sheets
from thc bed and started toward thc
window, evidently Intending to make a
rope and drop to the ground. Thc return
of the attendant probably compelled her
to abandon thli plnn, and she jumped
without the aid of anything to head
the fall.
Two attendnnts found tier lying on
th" ground. She lapsed into uncon
ti'ousncss nfter they picked her up.
Her skull was fractured and she also
leceived numerous bodily injuries.
Tried to Reform
The woman was arrested twice before
during the last year and served short
sentences at the HouBe of Correction.
Sho frequentlv was given treatment by
tlie police surgeons nnci every cuori
wns matlo to cure her of the drug habit.
When arrested the woman gave an
address on Second street nenr Dauphin.
At the address it wns said she wns
unknown there. Neither was she known
to persons living in the neighborhood.

Politico-Religious Battle
on Sectarian Fund Issue
Denominations Losing CJiarity Appropria

Anti-Sectarian Association to Oppose It
Hy GEORGE
The bitterest fight In Pennsylvania's
recent polities in looming just ahead.
l'aradoxlcnlly, it is not a personal or
pnrty contpst.
The proposed Constitutional Conven
tion to be voted on In September U thc
bone of contention. It is Governor
Sproul's pet measure.
It will be n politico -religious
struggle. Party lines will disappear,
but denominational enthusiasm will run
high.
The Supreme Court's decision on
July 1 , wiping out nil appropriations to
sectarian or religious institutions, is
the flint spark thnt started the con
flagration. Three great religious bodies nr In
volved Catholics, Protestants and
Jews.
All. according to the Siinremo Court,
were beneficiaries of the neelslnture's
unconstitutional generosity. All three
or certain swtM among them, will be
lined up on both sides in the coining
fighf.
Recalls Antl-Rellglous Garb Fight
Activo preparntions are already in
progress on both sides.
It in scarcely reasonable to expect
that individuals or Institutions, no mat
ter of what religious persuasion, that
have benefited to the extent of millions
of dollars for years by State appropria
tions, will willingly rellnquUh these
benefits without a prodigious struggle.
No more would it bo likely that

Hughes Cleverly Decides Issue
Without Waiting to Satisfy
Mikado's Doubts
T0KI0 MAY ATTEMPT
TO LIMIT DISCUSSIONS
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
NUn ''nrrrtponilrnt I'.irnlnr I'ulillr Lrilaer
Copuilolit, tnil, bv 7uHio l.fdotr Co.
Washington, July 15. With thc
exnet language of thc Japanese com
munlrntlnn regarding thc PnclhV mid
disarmament conference undisclosed, it
R impossible to say confidently whether
the Mikado's Government merely
'snored thnt pnrt of Mr. Hughes' invj
twicm wlilcli referred t,i
thc Pacific
problems or whether II asked for
further definition of the purposes of the
conference In the dlscu'sion of the Far
En si.
Ignoring of one-hnlf the invitation
would bo childish, so It Is n safe gucs
thnt Jnpnn asked to know before ngree
ing to discuss Pnclfic questions just how
far thc discussion wns to go.
Jnpnn. entering such n conference
against her will, naturally seeks to
limit its scope or pcrhnps to widen Its
scope so that If the question of Jnpnn's
holding of Shantung Is to come, so shall
thp question of the English status in
Hongkong nnd the French status in
Indo-Chinn.
Hushes Has Upper Hand
Mr. Hughes' diplomncv is p'nin.
Whatever the iintiirc of thc .Inpnncse
reply, whether Japan has uierel;
Ignored one-hnlf the invitation or
whether sh,. ia. sought the definition "f
that hnlf of the Invitation, Mr. Hugesl'
confiontliig Jiipnn with n fait accompli,
a conference to discuss the Pacific, un
limited In its scope nnd participated in
by all the other grent powers.
This Is one of the oldest resorts of
diplomacy. While the other power
hesitates nnrf asks questions you enrry
out your plnn nnd In effect nsk. "Whnt
are .ou going to do nliout it.'
In presenting the accomplished fact
to Jnpnn Mr. Hughes is nided by thc
prompt nnd full ncceptnncc of nil the
other invited' powers. Before Japan was
henrd from Great Britain, Italy nnd
France had signified their entire np
projal of the conference ns called by
the Secretary of State. Accordingly.
Mr. Hughes decided nt once to issue
the formnl invitations) without waiting
for the removnl of Japan's doubts.
Thus there is to lie a conference on
Pacific problems whether Japan take,
part In it or not. Even if Jnpnn will
only talk dlsnriuiimcnt the other powers
will dis-uss the Pacific.
I. 'S. Ready fo Act at Once
Mr. Hughes doe not allow his con
foipiico to cool off or any other power
to develop lio-it n tioti because Japan
hesitates. lie :ct rrndy ni once to
iwsue tnrmnl invitations, nntu'ug the
