In London.

London, Feb. 1I-This afternoon some
militant suffragettes tried another STRAIT
egic move in their anti-government cam

cent-lOoking furniture removal van drove
up to the entrance of the House Of Com

consisted Of some thirty women who. as
soon as the vehicle stopped, opened the
doors and made a rush for the entrance
of the House.
Only one had gained admittance
through the outer portal before the vigi-
liant police surrounded the troop. BY the
number Of police who appeared on the
scene like magic, it is quite certain that
the raid was no surprise As the women
refused TO disperse the police began to
make arrests, whereupon the usual scene
of scuffiing and excitement followed. The
weaker sex were soon compelled to sur
render and nineteen prisoners were taken
off 10 the police station.
Meantime re-enforcements Of suffragettes
arrived. About three hundred I'm all. but
the police popped up from nowhere and
presented solid phalanx. through which

deaf to persuasion, decided on drastic
measures, and assumed the offensive and

Pagan Denies Charge.
In reply, Oliver f. Pagan. for The gov
ernment. denied that the wording OF the
eertihcation, like a forged check, must be
set forth in fun The real question al
issue. he insisted. was whether or not
the certifcation created an obligation OF
the part of the bank
In replying 70 Judge Hough's query
whether the effect of the certihcation was
not really to create an overdTaft on the
part of Otto Heinze & Co, District At
toTney Stms0n said that all former de-
cisions held that even an oVerdraft. made
with an evil intent constituted a mis-
appropriation. The court thereupon re-
marked that the real question at issue
was what was done with the money Sc
cured by the certifcation and with what
intent it had been secured. Mr.. Pagan
concluded ais argument by claiming that
the indictments were properly drawn and
as fully as could be expected from q
legal standpoint.
