SAM SILVERMAN
DID NOT SHOW UP
SEATTLE, April 6. — The sensa
tional blackmail cases against three
women anti one man in which Samuel
Silverman, of Alaska, and many other
prominent men are involved, were all
dismissed by Prosecuting Attorney
Alfred Lundin today.
Elsie Coots, Lillian Peterson, Mrs.
Isabel Clayburg and L. P. Sichler will
now go free and thus endeth the final
sensational chapter of Sheri If Robert
Hodges' sensational campaign on al
leged vice.
Prosecuting Attorney Lundin an
nounced that insufficient evidence and
also Mr. Silverman being absent was
responsible for the dismissal. All
picture victims are breathing easrer
today as a consequence.
“The entire matter is a great dis
appointment,” said Mr. Lundin today, i
“Miss Coots and Miss Peterson were
brought here because Sheriff Hodge
assured me that they would testiry
for the State against Sichler. The
State charged them with conspiracy
to blackmail Samuel I. Silverman, and
others. Silverman is not here and I
was unable to get in touch with him.
I It also cost considerable money to
j bring Mrs. Clayburg here from Los
! Angeles. I believed Sheriff Hodge
when he staled everything was clear
for the cases.”—Ex.

States Attorney General Gregory*
stating that President Wilson has ex
ercised his executive clemency and

i from death to life imprisonment at

Itow was first sentenced to hang on
February 18th, 1016, after the fight
for his life had been lost in every
court to which it could be taken.
After the gallows had been erected,
and with but a few days remaining
before the execution, President Wil
son granted a 60-day reprieve to al
low further time for investigation of
the case. The telegram today is the
result of his investigation. — Juneau

MRS. SANGER STARTS TOUR
TO ORGANIZE BIRTH CONTROL
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
NEW YORK, April 4. — Freed of
the charge, in Uncle Sam’s federal
indictment, that she sent vile and
obscene matter through the mails in
her birth control propaganda maga
zine, “The Woman Rebel,” Mrs.
Margaret Sanger left here today to
visit and organize birth control soci
eties among the women of all the
large cities in the United States.
Mrs. Sanger is on her way now to
Chicago, where she will conduct meet
ings of women, make speeches about
birth control and organize a society of
women to perpetuate birth control
propaganda after she has gone on to
other places. Mrs. Sanger will travel
west to the coast cities and then east
again by another route.
Mrs. Sanger hopes, by stirring up
the interest of American wives and
mothers, to make their influence cause
the repeal of state and federal laws
prohibiting the dissemination of birth
control information.
In cities where there arc no restric
tions of this kind Mrs. Sanger hopes
to establish clinics, similar to birth
control clinics in European cities,
where women of the working dis
tricts can apply for instruction in
birth control. In addition to nurses
who can instruct in birth control, these
clinics will have a staff that will teach
the care of infants.
Mrs. Sanger said before she depart
ed today that no legislative power in
the world can keep the women of
America from learning and practicing
birth control:
“Because,” she added, “it is the
logical and sensible and humane thing
to do, law or no law.
“No woman should be compelled to
bring a baby into the world unless sne
j is physically fittfed to properly endow
the child with a good brain and body;
and unless she is blessed with the
resources to rear and educate the
child and give it a fair chance to make
its way in the world.”
