STORM ARL|AMENT
Probably 100000 Participant

London.
az STRATEGY SHE BUSHES PAST
GUARDS, APPEARS BEFORE
HOUSE AND ASKS MEMBERS TO
CONSIDER THE WOMEN.

London. Oct. 14-The climax of the
suffragette campaign was reached last
night when an enormous mob hemmed
in Parliament and stopped traffic IN
all streets leading to Westminster
For more than three hours the crowds
scuffled good naturally with the po'
lice. interfered with theater goers
broke windows and disorganized
things generally in the central part OF
London.
The heroine of the day was Mrs
Travers Symons, formerly secretary to
James Kier-Hardie, the socialist and
Independent member of Parliame MT
who reached the door of the house OF
commons by strategy. The house was
debating a bill to prevent children
from cigarette smoking when the wo
man dashed past the doorkeeper to
a position in front of the speaker S
chair and shouted:
Leave off discussing children and
talk about women"
Three officials seized Mrs. Symons
and carried her out. She was led to
the outer door and dismissed. AS a
result of the coup an order was issued
that hereafter women shall not be per.
mitted to the building on any pretext
whatever, and in the future the his
toric grille will not screen feminine
spectators.
The appeal issued by the suffraget-
ties few days ago for $4,000 persons
to help them rush" Parliament at
7:30 o'clock last evening was the most
successful stroke yet. Not less than
twice that number responded to the
call, and nine-tenths of these were
young persons who came to see the
fun. There was also a few hundred
of the unemployed and their sympa
thizers.
Parliament In State of Siege.
Parliament was in a state of siege
A close triple line of police was drawn
around the three sides Of the square
in front of the building The yard
within the gates swarmed with police
and 200 guarded the terrace in the
rear against assault by water. which
the women twice attempted. A small
fleet of police boats also patrolled the
Thames approaches.
Football Rush Attempted.
A delegation of thirteen suffraget-
ties. which approached the police cor,
don and was formally refused admis-
sion to Parliament, attempted foot
ball rush, but the police chivalrously
repulsed the women with the least
possible roughness. Two bodies of
the unemployed, however, which ap-
preached the line were driven off with
little saving grace, one across West
minister Bridge and the other to st.
James Park.
The police We're pelted with veget-
ables and some stones in a few minor
skirmishes, but nobody was seriously
hurt.
Twenty-four suffragettes and twelve
OF the unemployed were arrested.
Many persons tainted. A few were
trampled upon and taken to the hos
pitfalls.

You Can Have a Cool Kitchen.

A soap that can be used without
boiling is great blessing to woman
kind. It's use means the absence of
those steamy, sudsy smells that makes

fort may be had by the users of Easy
