WOMEN FIGHT TO
BE MADE MARTYRS
TEN ENGLISH SUFFRAGISTS RE.
SENT BEING PUT UNDER PEACE
BONDS AS TOO TAME FOR THEIR
PURPOSES.

London. October 24-Ten women suffra-
gists who were arrested yesterday for
rloting within the precincts OF the house
of commons were arraigned in police
court today, and bound over to keep the
peace for six months. Such a common
place outcome of the affair did not meet
the views of the suffragists, who APP
parently desired to assume the roles of
martyrs by being committed to jail and
, when the magistrate announced his de-
cision great uproar broke out in the
court room, and ultimately the women
had to be removed ~ force. Some of
them were literally thrown out among
the crowds waiting outside the building.
The shrleking women continued to make
demonstration outside the police court
until Miss Parkhurst, who took a promi-
nent part in the disturbances, was ar
rested, and with some of the women,
were temporarily locked in an anti-room
by the police. They managed to secure
key and released themselves with it, but
were again locked in by their jailor, who
walked off with the key
When the disturbances had somewhat
subsidized the police reassembled the de-
PENDANTS, who were then Informed by the
magistrate that they must Immediately
find sureties for their good behavior or
he imprisoned for two months. The whole
ten women refused to enter into recoz-
nizances and were removed in custody.

MORE STEEL AND
IRON TO Be USED
J. |. ChaIifoux Of Lowell Talks
of Wonderful Prosperity
STATE NEEDS IMMIGRATION
Moran's Hold On People of Massachu-
sets Comes From His Fearless
Enforcement of Law-Took
Convention BY Storm.

j. L. Chalifoux of Lowell Mass, arrived
in Birmingham several days ago for a
weeks visit to his brother. Oliver Chall-
foux. Besides his prominence in the
mercantile world, having now in course
of construction at Lowell half million
dollar building for his business there, Mr..
Chalifoux is active in the democratic
party of Massachusetts. A few years ago
he was the democratic nominee for the
office of state treasurer.
At student of political and economic
conditions Mr.. Challfoux talks interesting
ly of the candidacy of John L. Moran.
whose unique and practically single
handed race for governor of Massachu-
sets has brought him so conspicuously
before the attention of the reading public
He also speaks of the vital need for
systemet!zed action of the state of Ala
bama with regard to the question of i'm
migration, and of the spirit Of enterprise
among the men Of Birmingham, which is
the best guarantee of great and pros
porous future.
About Steel.
Mr.. Chalifoux said: There is unques-
tionably a greater demand for steel now
than ever before. All modern buildings
are constructed largely of steel. In fact
steel is supplantng wood in every possible
way. Take for instance the New York
subway. A recent fire in the subway
cars has made the future use of steel i'm
perative. Then, too, the great losses in
Cured by the Insurance companies forces
them to demand that buildings be- more
nearly fire proof than ever.
1.-THE way the companies have of penal
izlng investors by charging them higher
rates for their insurance makes it evident
to these investors that they can get larg-
er returns on their investments by COM
plying with such requirements. This con-
certed action of the fire insurance COM
panies throughout the country alone will
create an unprecedented demand for iron
and steel.
Now then the great question in this
connection for Birmingham is to awaken
to the magnitude of her possibilities i'll
this direction and set out at once to in
duce immigration from Europe good, able
bodied men, when possible with their fam
ilfes. so as to enable the capitalists of
these great industrial companies to ex-
tend their work and realize part OF
this great demand for the products of the
district. This cannot be done without
labor The state of Alabama would be
justified in mourning a large debt IL
necessary to bring about this result, for
the INCREASE in values of the properties,
both real and Industrial will increase the
taxable values sufficiently to pay the i'll
terest on a large debt.
1.-THE question for Alabama is labor, just
as the question for Canada few years
was transportation. The population or
the Dominion of Canada since this prob
lem was solved by the building of the
Canadian Pacific railroad has Increased
from about two million to something like
five millions. The states of Alabama
should appoint commission to go into
the matter of immigration intelligently.

Massachusetts politics.

LAS to the ponUcal sltudtion III Maeoa
chusetts, Mr.. Moran, the district attorney
from Boston, who is now a candidate for
governor, Is certainly an unique charac-
ter in every way. His election as district
attorney was a great surprise to every
body last fall. His nomination this fall
for governor by the prohibition party, the
Independent league and the democratic
convention, unanimously, was not secured
without the strongest inner opposition.
The state democratic machinery unani-
mously opposed his nomination.
moran proposes to run q campaign all
by himself He has dismissed all his man.
ayers. He directly appeals to the people
and the meetings which have already
been held in Boston, Lowell and other
cities were overcrowded.
MANY old conservative men in the
democratic party publicly express their
disapproval of Moran's course, but it Is
my opinion that he will get most of their
votes on election day. AS district attor-
ney Moran has been very aggressive. He
has had Senator Lodges private secretary
sent to Jail for embezzfement on the
ground that he had received money for
Lodges campaign fund which he did
not report as the law provides. By his
fearless methods during the past year in
enforcing the law regardless of where the
penalty fell, Moran had made himself so
popular with the people that when the
last convention met at Boston he took
1t by storm. So completely had he cap
tured the support of the people that old
war horses who had spent money and had
done everything they could to defeat his
nomination were powerles sto stem the
tide in his favor. 1t was just such a tri-
llmph for Moran as the Chicago conven-
ton was for Bryan.
II believe Moran stands great chance
of election as governor. If sentiment for
him continues to grow In the next few
weeks in the same proportion that 1t has
already grown. there is no question about
his election. Thomas w. Lawson has sig
nifed his willingness to speak for Moran
at the churches and clubs throughout
Massachusetts, and George Fred Will
iams, the old democratic leader, has come
back to the front. Moran's hold on the
public is this: he dares to fight for any
thing the people want, like Folk of Mis-
souri,, whether the politicians want 1t or
