WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS GIVE
LONDON POLICE A TUSSLt
Excited Women Attempt to Force En-
trance in the House of Commons,
But Are Elected by the Boobies.

London.-Unusual excitement In
connection with the reopening OF par
lament on Tuesday was caused by
the presence of about 100 woman suf-
fragists, many OF whom, despite the
protests of the police, managed to ma
their way into the outer lobby OF the
house of commons with the intention
of buttonholing the members In sup
port of their movement. A number OF
the suffragists mounted vacant chairs
in the lobby and began to harangue
the few members of parliament pres
ent in that part of the house. The po-
lice. after being reinforced, made
strategic advance against the invad-
ers. taking the women singly, and
gradually elected them, one by one.
from the house. The most militant of
the women struggled so desperately
that two officers were required to
move them.
The hvsterical shouting and scream
ing of the crowds of women and the
unwonted scene created temporary ex-
citement such as seldom has been wit
messed in and about the house. The
women resolutely refused to leave the
house without being elected by force,
clung tenaciously to the stalwart po-
licemen, the ratings or other means
of support, and offered strenuous re-
sistanoe to expulsion while shouts of
1--WE will have votes!" and You cow
ardly men dare not give us justice!"
rncnnndnd through the halls.

Chattanooga, Tenn, called at the
White House Monday and invited
President Roosevelt to attend the i'm
migration and quarantine conference

possible to attend. Mr.. Thompson
said he suggested to the president
that the idle negroes in the south be
utilized for labor on the Panama ca.

In the SOUTH" he explained, would
aid the white people in securing this
class Of labor for that work. 1t is the
idle negro that makes the trouble in
the south and reflects on the better
class of negroes"

INDIAN EATS HIS FAMILY.

Seattle, Wash.-James McMullen.
who returned recently TO Fairbanks,
Alaska, from the Kuskoquim, tells one
of the most narrowing tales of the suf-
fering of Indians in that district ever
heard In Alaska.
According TO McMullen, one Indian,
his squaw and two children lived some
distance from any human habitation
He depended upon what game he could
Kill for his food, and not finding the
moose and cariboo as plentiful as usual
he finally found himself on the verge
OF starvation.
Becoming insane through the pangs
of hunger. he one day killed his squaw
and in the most cold-blooded manner
proceeded TO eat the body. When he
realized what he had done he evidently
was afraid TO communicate with any OF
either his own people or the prospectors
who are in that country. and in a short
time was confronted with the same
situation as before.
Then the two children met the same
fate as the mother. The Indian then
made his way TO the camp of some other
indians where he told OF his crime. He
is at present living among his own peo-
pie. who persistently shun HIM
