When arrested Knapp was wearing the uniform of a chief gunner's mate, and had five re-enlistment stripes on his sleeve.

Sixteen Women Serving Sentences for Picketing White House Are Granted Releases.

WASHINGTON, July 19.—President Wilson today issued pardons for the sixteen suffragists who are serving a sixty-day sentence in the workhouse at Occoquan, Va., for picketing in front of the white house.

Secretary Tumulty said the pardon must speak for itself, and that the white house would have no statement to make of the president's reason for his action.

Although the womw helfi out steadfastly against the payments of fines or acceptance of pardons, the husband? of half a dozen of them have been active in trying to bring about the release of their wives. Several of the women have small children at home.

Upon issuance of pardons liberty was no longer a'mater of choice. Arrangements were made by the authorities to release all the prisoners as soon as the necessary documents from the department of justice reached the workhouse, twenty miles outside the city.

The w-oman's party headquarters here appeared to bring the freed women to town in automobiles and give them a demonstration of appreciation.

In dii^ct contrast with the soaring Irri^es of all other necessities, is the lower

Light. In place of climbing in price it has not only actually decreased during the last 10 years, but the volume of light which your dollar buys today is 10 times as great as it was in 1907.
