THE MORNOG OREGONIA SATURDAY, 31 ARCH 8. 1913. 3 WOMAN NG DIARY SENTENCED TO JAIL Judge Says Sex Has Forfeited Presumption of Impossi bility of Crime. PRISONER DEFIES COURT Hunger Strike Threatened and as for Costs Miss Wharrj Says She AVI 1 1 Xerer Pay Golden Rule Also Broken. LONDON, March 7. Miss "Joyce Locke," a militant suffragist. - whose real name Is Olive Wharry, waa sen tenced today at the Old Bailey Ses sions to 18 months' Imprisonment. She was found guilty of setting fire to a pavilion in the Kew Botanical Gar dens on February 20. When arraigned in Police Court on the day of her arrest she hurled a book at the magistrate and fought desper ately against removal to a cell. The court today ordered her to pay all costs and to deposit a $1000 bond to insure her good behavior for two years after the completion of her sen tence. Holier Strike Threatened. The Judge warned Miss Wharry that she would be sentenced to an addi tional year if she did not keep the peace after finishing her prison sen tence. Miss Wharry declared that she would not pay the costs of the prosecution and would Immediately start a "hunger strike." The Judge, in summing up. struck a serious note as to the general effect of the militant movement on the status of women. He said: "Not very long ago it would have been unthinkable that a well-educated young woman could have committed a crime like this. One would have heard appeals from Juries to acquit her on the ground that It was Incon ceivable that she could have committed such an outrage. Presumption la Forfeited. "Unfortunately, however, women as a class have forfeited any presumption of that kind in their favor. We un forunately know that well educated and well brought up women have com mitted these crimes. Consequently it la impossible to -approach these cases from the standpoint of a few years ago. "Acts such as these cause loss and injury to the npor and struggling as well as the rieh. In addition to break ing man-made laws, the militants are breaking another law, which said. Do ye unto others as ye would that they should do unto you.'" When sentence was pronounced. Miss Wharry retorted: "I refuse to pay these costs. Tou can send me to prison, but I will never pay a penny. Nor do I intend to stay in prison. As for sureties never!" "If you do not care to give sureties, you will be further Imprisoned for a period not exceeding a year," re pyed the Judge, gravely. At a meeting tonight of the National Union Suffragist Societies, a non-militant organization. It waa announced that the union had decided to embark on an active constitutional campaign against Premier Asquith's government, concentrating its opposition - on the anti-suffrage members of the ministry and maintaining a truce with those friendly to the cause.

The Introduction of the salt water auxiliary fire system, which will be in operation in two months, provides an opportunity for giving San Francisco homes a luxury that is enjoyed by dwellers In no other city in the world that is, an unlimited supply of pure salt water from" the Pacific Ocean for baths In private houses.
