Today's Telegraphic News
Excited Woman sunrsgists.


London, Oct. 24.-Seldom If ever In
the history of London's police courts
have such scenes been enscted as those
witnessed today 10 the arraignment OF
the woman suffrsgists arrested yester-
day for creating q disturbance In the
lobby Of the House of Commons where
they tried to force their way to button
| hole members for their cause.
The hearing of the cases was exciting
enough. Outside the court room there
was veritabls pitched battle between
the sufragists and the police. Fifty
officers called on special duty to guard
the courts could not preserve any SEM
blauce of order Westminster police
court was certainly the liveliest place 10
London today.
trouble began when the eight prisoners
were arrsigned. They refused TO testify
in court, saying they did not recog'
nize the jurisdiction Of male court,
where they had no voice. All were
bound over 10 The sum Of s26 to keep
the peace for six months, but the deter
mined women declined to give bonds,
saying they preferred to go to Jail.
Many sympathizsrs in the court room
loudly expressed approval OF every
u,terance of the prisoners and tried re-
peatedlg to create al uprosr. The Judge
kept them quiet with difficulty until the
hearing was finished.
Then the real lun began. Several OF
the women refused to leave the room
where the hearing was held despite the
orders of the police. 80 the officer In
charge left them inside locking the doors.
Other sufragists attacked the policeman
and took the KEYS from him.
The women released their companions,
then seized the policeman and threw
him bodily into the court room and
turned the keys on him, marching OF in
| triumph.
Several other officers gave chase TO the
women, but it was only after hard hand
to hand struggle that they were able TO
recspture the key.
Outside the court house fully 1000
persons had collected, to see what would
happen to the sufrsgists. The women
started to hsrangue this crowd from the
steps of the court house. BY this time
the policemen were pretty well aroused
and the petticoat orators we're thrown
bodily into the crowd. Reserves we're
then called out and the whole crowd was
driven away.
Several of the policemen suffered great
ly in the struggle with the women, who
fought and bit and kicked the officers.
Torn uniforms and bleeding faces
where the finger nails of the sudragists
had left traces of their effectiveness were
the rule among the officers in charge in
the court room. Sentence OF two months
imprisonment was passed on the agita-
tors for their refusal to give bond to
keep the peace. When this sentence
was pronounced women in the room
shouted "shame." 1t was in trying to
silence them that the policemen met with
snch rough treatment.
