GRAXD MARSHAL IS OX STAND
Mrs. Burleson Says She Was Sur
rounded by "Howling Mob."
WASHINGTON. March 15. Samples
of a militant suffragist were expound
ed today to the Senate committee in
vestigating the disorder which at
tended the suffrage parade of March 3.
Ir. Mary Mark, of Maryland, told of
her phystcal efforts to defend the girls
In the parade from the attentions of
men In the crowd.
"Some of them attempted to man

baton, and they got the worst of It
Admiral George W. Halrd. retired, de
fended the conduct of the police, de
claring that from the point at which he
saw the parade they did all that could
be expected.
A dramatic recital ot the progress of
the head of the parade through Penn
sylvania avenue was given by Mrs.
Richard Coke Burleson, the grand mar
shal, who rodn on horseback. She said
that for about a block after the parade-
began the way was clear.
"Suddenly I found myself in the
midst of a howling mob," she contin
ued, "there did not seem to be a po
liceman anywhere. The automobile
platoon and the mounted police seemed
to nave u.ntti'i"-1 , .

surged all about me and between me
and Miss Milholland. who rode some j
distance to the rear. 1 could see her
surrounded by tho crowd. She was j
alone, not a policeman was near her. j
She tried to force her horse through
the crowd. I was afraid the crowd !
would pull her to the ground." j
A squad of police In the hearing
room marched in review before Mrs.
Burleson that she might attempt to j
identify a policeman whom she said ,
had been Insolent to her. She was
unable to find the man.
She said that throughout her ride
up the avenue she observed that the
police seemed indifferent and were I
having a good time rather than at
tempting to control the crowd.

May Cause ruxxling- Disease.
WASHINGTON. March 15. Pellagra
is more prevalent than Is ordinarily j
supposed, even by physicians practic- .
Ing in pellagrous communities. Assist-1
snt Surgeon R. M. Grimm, of the United
Slates Public Health Service, saya in I
a report on the results cf an investl-
gatlon in several Southern states. Be-
cause of Its widespread existence in i
certain districts, he urges sweeping in
quiry to unravel the cause of the pux
siing disease.
Dr. tirimm found more cases among
whites than negroes, and women of
both races seemed to be more suscep
tible than men. The death rate was
highest among negroes. More cases,
be said, occurred under conditions of
r.overtv than of comfort, and more un-
licr conditions of comfort than afflu- j
enre. The rural districts seemed less!
ajfected than small towns and villages.
The surgeon declared that there was
a possibility that some insect played a
part In the dissemination of the disease.
