of Jan. rs. relating to entries on public

MANY WOMEN ARE INJURED
MOB or FEMALE SUFFRAGlSTS
MAKES DETERMINED ATTACK
ON HOUSE OF COMMONS.

London, Feb 14-Following con-
ference of the Women's Special and
Political union hundreds of women
suffragists made a determined attack
on the house of commons with the OBJ
ject of forcing their way into the
building. The police had been fore
warned of the attempt and a large
force in uniform, in plain clothes and
mounted was on duty abo'+ the build
ing. The doors of the house were
shut in the faces of the wollen and
the police attempted to drive them
back. In so doing the mounted men
galloped among the women, who
struggled fiercely, and many Of the
women were thrown down into the
mud and badly hurt. The demon
strators, however, were kept out OF
the house proper, although the fight
with the police outside continued for
a long time Over twenty of the So
called ''suffragettes" were arrested
and taken to the nearest police sta
tion.
During the confusion following the
first onslaught of the women six suf-
fragists succeeded in obtaining access
to the public lobby and attempted to
rush through the corridor leading into
the house, but they were seized by
policemen and elected.

Method Successful Abroad.

Method Successful Abroad.
Instances of successful leasing of
such lands by foreign governments are
cited by the president and he argues
at length for the separate develop
ment OF farming and mining on Amer
team land
Foreign practice also is cited as q
reason why mineral fuels, like forests
and navigable streams, should be
treated as public utilities. In this
way can the rights of further genera
tions adequately be protected. The
quantity of high grade mineral fuel is
relatively smaller than forests and its
preservation should be the subject of
the wisest legislation. Ultimately
these rich lands all will pass out of
federal control and future generations
will be deprived Of their birthright un-
less this leasing system be adopted.
By leasing the mineral rights the gov
ernment can exercise healthy con-
troll, the good effects Of which will
best be noted In the future.
Answering the charge that reserva-
tion of natural forests raises the price
of lumber in the West the president
says:
1T should be remembered that the
best and most accessible bodies OF
timber In the West passed into pri-
vate holdings before the forest re-
serves were established that while
the price of lumber has advanced in
the West 1t has advanced still more In
the East. where there are no forest
reserves; that supplies of timber are
today being shipped from the West to
the markets Of the Mississippi valley
and even TO foreign countries.
Advantages Of Leasing System.
"It may be claimed among the ad-
vantages Of the leasing system that
ID 1t will facilitate the working OF
coal deposits for local markets by
miners without large capital; (2) 1T
will facilitate larger operations; (0
prevent waste in the extraction and
handling Of these fuels; (4) the sys-
tenn can be oreratei In such manner
as to pre-, ii the evils OF monopolistic

Washington, Feb. 14.-By vote of
