JANE ADDAMS SNUBS MILITANTS' LEADER
Hull House Head Resident Refuses to Serve on Pankhurst Lecture Committee.
CHICAGO, Oct. 15. -- "I shall not serve on the Pankhurst lecture committee here, because I consider suffragist militancy a great mistake, fundamentally as well as politically," said Miss Jane Addams, of Hull House, today, explaining why she holds aloof from the Chicago welcome to Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst.
"If you once depart from the path of law and order," Miss Addams continued, "there is no telling where you will end. But I do believe Mrs. Pankhurst should have an adequate and dignified hearing on her lecture tour."
