Smith Hamon, accused of slaying
Jake Hamon, Oklahoma politician anil
oil ki^ is fortunate in that the laws
or her State. prohibit her Iwlng tried
by a Jury of women, as she desired,
according to a number of women law-
yers iu Washington.
Woman, commonly regarded as the
more emotional and Sentimental of the
specie#, 1m witliout tbe <|uu1lty ;4 of
mercy when jmlging' in«'mb<^H of licr
own vex, according to these modern
Portias, all of whom are avowed femi-
nists.'they predicted that i Miss
Smith would receive the highest pen-
alty If tried by women.
"If I were facing trial I would not
take chgiiem on. a jury of women,"
sftbl Bosalle* Joaes, who led the fa-
mous suffrage bike from Albany, N.
Y., to Wasliliigtoii In the days when
Alice Paul was rallying the militant
sisterhood to battle.
"Mls« Nhdth will be acquitted ir
tried by a jury of men,1'Sshe contin-
ued. "Men are swayed entirely by Ncn-
llineuf in judging women. When women
are called to pu
their own sex who sins in the eyes of
society ihey are cold to sentiment ami
are perfectly relentless.
"If I were a male culprit,,I should
prefer trial before a jury of women. A
man would be able to make the same
sentimental appeal to a jury of women
as a woman does facing a jury of
men."
There are psychological mid other
reasons for woman's inhumanity to
woman, according to Helen Hoy Oree*
ley of New York, who appeared for
the army nurses when they conducted
their fight in congress for military
rank.
"When women were In a subjugat-
ed state." said Mrs. Greeley, "tho*opl.v
competition they were permitted ^ to
engage in was for the favors of .the
male. They still regard one another
as sex competitors and will continue
to do so untH they are fully freed a tut
are fully conscious of their status of
equality. To this sex .competition I
chiefly attribute their merciless alti-
tude when Judging members of their
own sex who transgress the moral
laws."
Mrs. Nina Van Winkle, head of the
police women of Washington would
have all the men judges replaced by
women. v
"Attractive w«lij en offenders vamp
the men judges,JJ she said today.
She refused to admit the danger of
attractive male .offenders "vamping"
the lady judges.

in the history of the an roe. played un-
der a sky bright with the sun of

match shows how the Americans won
The challengers lost tho
first set 4 to 0. but never again per-
mitted Brookes and Patterson to taste
victory, winning the three remaining

The Americans formed an unques-
tionably superior team, Brookes nnd
Patterson ladng much below the form
they exhibited nt Sydney last Janu-
ary. Patterson was frequently
caught In the back court, during ral-
lies, nnd this weakness was seized
upon by the challengers. Brookes at-
