THE BIS BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1921 ANC .is vice president, BY MARIAN HALE. New York, June 2.—‘A rose is sweet only when it is called a rose.” So says Ruth Hale, president of the new Lucy Stone League, which has been organized to assure to married women the legal right to retain: their maiden names. She continues: “Lucy Stone, in 1856, said: ‘My name ig the symbol of my identity, and must not be lost ;there ig no jus- tification for the custom that demands that a woman merge her identity with her husband.’ HG “Indeed,” ‘argues Ruth Hale (other- wise Mrs. Heywood Broun, wife: of the: dramatic critic), ‘one’s personality: is #0 inevitably linked up with one’s ‘in- her consciousness to permit of such:a fusion. 3 “Women in the past -have been so subject to men’s wills, that giving up their names was only one more sweet betrayal of all that they were, of all their names had. come to signify. Any woman with spirit should fight to keep the name she was born with.” “But,” I questioned, “what about the law? What about wills and deeds and passports?

That's why we have or- ganized—-because these things are done. But they are in no way legal. There is absolutely no law whica gives the government the right to kecy a woman in this country unless she uses her husband's name. There is no law that takes property away from a woman who has shares in it with her husband, even if her maiden name, and. nothing but her maiden name, is signed to the papers.” ‘ “Are there so’ very many women Wwho..wish to. keep their. own names, though married, that such a club as yours is ‘waryanted?” ~ ‘Ruth Hale nodded, “Many, many women.” Among the women on the executive board are Crystal Eastman, Zona Gale, Susan Glaspell, Lucy: Huffaker, Fannie Hurst.

It was learned that Lehman had deeded most of property or rented it to his father on Saturday morning, with the intention, it is believed by some, of making his escape. Developmens of the case tend to convince officials that Lehman had carefully considered his escape, ; The father, an 81-year-old man, vis- ited Bismarck last week, and conferred with a local attorney. He told the at- torney he was going to consult the chief justice of the supreme court, the governor and Judge Nuessle and see if there was any chance of getting a pardon from the pardon board, which is in session today. It is understood, he was disappointed in his efforts, as Lehman had been in prion but about a year and a half on his 20-year term. Father Visited Him.

It was said that foreclosure proceedings had been instttuted, and some of those familiar with the transaction express- ed the belfef that the father was sim- ply alding his son’ by taking over the Property, and was nol aware of any idea in his son’s mind of escape,’ The prisoner deéded no property ‘to his wife, it-is-said. 4 \ Offer $100 Reward. | Prison officials have offered a re- ward of $100 for the capture of Leh- man and have scattered hand bills bearing his-photograph broadcast and notified authorities in many cities, No trace of the prisoner has been found since he got away Sunday even- ing.
