IIEH IH SBASn.A'l-xVFEARS TO; SWEAR OUT WARRANTTHREATS OX HER LIFE SAID TO KEEP HER SUBJECTED,Case Affords Militant Suffragette's, of lola Fine Chancel to Show TheirProwess.If the situation in the Dave, Li twinhome on West Madison is as described by the authorities, here is a goodchjance for the militant suffragettes of loin to get action, not' only withoutbeing jeered at by .their male con-fsorts, but the M. C.s are doubtlesswilling to hold their vanity boxes and►powder puffs while the militants in-♦ ' *euicate a respect for the female of the( i rspecies in the aforementioned Lit-i win.4*. •This morning Mrs. Li twin, partially clad, ran through town to the home of a Triend, weeping and showing signsof distress from the result, it is alleged, of rough handling by her Hus-. baqd. A call was made for the policebut the sheriff’s office was the first to■respond. In the meantime an hour had elapsed and by that time the hysterical woman had calmed down and when .the officers asked her to swear out a .complaint against her husband, she refu'sed. There being no witnesses to the alleged assault, the officers were helpless.They say, however, that these out-*bursts on the part of. Litwin are periodic and that when they1 occur his wife* is given a beating that thor average? man .would dislike to take. Litwin is a Russian Jew who operates asecond hand store on Wand his ideas of the rights of hus-est Madison,in ported - byy. That hebands, were doubtless, him from the old countr has his wife so terrified! that she is afraid to take the necessury steps to secure protection .seems certain, and it was said today that Litwin has openly declared that he wquld kill her if she offends him too jmicli. This “too much*’ probably includes any et~. fort on her part to have tlie courts interfere.NoW if this outline of the situation is correct, where could a better opportunity be found for the exercise of the militant energies of the. local suffragists or club ;\vomen. Certainlynor time when a \vo-al lowed to endurethis is no place man should beV Iabuse through fear of her life, .and if she is too terrified to demand protection the community would seem justified in stepping in and explaining theJaw of the land to the man educated . * %in Russia.
