FIGHT IS CONTINUED.
Women Active in Case of American Suffragist in London Prison.
London, April 1. - The campaign was continued today with more energy than ever on behalf of Miss Zeelie Emerson of Detroit, the militant suffragette, who is undergoing two months imprisonment in Holloway jail for window breaking.
A cablegram sent to Theodore Roosevelt today by Beatrice Harraden, the author, says:
"I cannot believe that American men, a number of whom expressed to me during my recent visit to America their horror at the system of forcible feeding, will remain indifferent when they learn that their fellow countrywoman, Miss Zeelie Emerson, is undergoing this ordeal in Holloway jail and is in a precarious condition."
