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

London. -rnusuai excitement in
connection with the reopening OF par
lament on Tuesday was caused by
the presence OF about 100 woman suf-
fraeisis, many OF whom despite the
protests OF the police managed to find
their way into the outer lobby of the
house OF commons with the intention
of buttonhoIing 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 pc
lice, after being reinforced, made a
strategic advance against the inyad-
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 hysterical shouting and scream
ing Of the crowds OF women and the
unwonted scene created temporary ex-
element such as seldom has been wit i
messed in and about the house. The
women resolutely refused to leave the
house without being elected by force
chung tenaciously to the stalwart po
licemen, the ratings or other means
OF support, and offered strenuous re-
sistanoe to expulsion, while shouts of
We will have yotes," and you cow
ardly men dare not give us justice!"
resounded through the halls.

Such Conclusion Reached by

Insurance Companies
Indiana Companies Have Been Guilty

Though They Have Main

the Report.

indianapolis special commits
sion appointed by the governor
which has been investigating the of
fee of the state auditor for a year,
with special reference to mutual and
stock life insurance companies, has
submitted its report to Governor Han
ly. The general conclusions of the
committee are that the cost of life
insurance to the public is TOO high.
The present maximum premium rates
for Insurance are so much In excess
OF needs as to permit of extravagant
management of companies, theft OF
their funds, division of profits and
other great abuses without rendering
the companies insolvent Indiana's
companies. like many companies OF
other states, have been guilty Of exi
travagances and abuses, though they

the Panama Canal.

Washington. f. Thompson of
Chattanooga. Tenn, called at the
White House Monday and invited
President Roosevelt to attend the inn
migration and quarantine conference
to be held in Nashville next month,
and, on the presidents invitation, Mir.
Thompson called again at night The
president, however. declined the in
vitation because he could not find il
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
nal. "The better class of the negroes
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"
