Appeared in Prison Garb.


The uproar was at its height when a
dozen Suffragettes who recently had
been released from prison. Invested
themselves of their outer wraps and
appeared in their Jail garments. These
clothes were literally stamped with
broad arrows. This exhibition acted
on the sisterhood like a red flag on a
bull Megaphones and bells were
brought into use and the noise became
deafening. The stewards at length lost
their tempers.. and as they continued
their work of throwing out. the DEM
onstrants, the clothes OF many Of the
women were torn off their backs
At the end of half an hour or more
the opposition became worn out and
Mr.. Lloyd-George was able to con-
-tinue his speech with only occasional
interruption. He assured his audience,
which totalled fully 5000 people, that
there was a majority in the cabinet
and the Liberal, party in favor of wo-
man suffrage, and that a suffrage
clause would be included in the gov
ernment's franchise bill, which. how
ever, could not be introduced until the
eve of the dissolution of parliament.
The chancellor added that the time of
dissolution had not yet arrived, though
the end of this parliament was not so
distant as some people thought. The
Liberals, however, still had several ac-
counts to settle, and they would dem
onstrate to the house of lords that the
house of commons was not so unim-
pOrtant as was ina gined.

Others Would Rebel.

General Simon's position undoubtedly is
very strong and there is great likelihood
of his proclaiming himself president of the
republic. If he takes such step, how
ever, there is every reason to believe that
Gneral Leconte, at Cape Haytien: General
Firmin. at Gonaives, and General
Fouchard at Jeremie, all aspirants to the
president, will enter a vigorous protes.
and that an outbreak of civil warfare
will follow. The hope of peace rests in
the holding of free elections and It is be-
lieved that General Simon recognizes the
wisdom of such a policy.

Chained to Their Seats.

The stewards of the hall, and there
were thirty-five on hand to deal with
the anticipated disturbance, at once
moved down the aisle toward the wo-
men who had interrupted the speaker
to eject them. They found the women
chained TO their seats There then be-
gan a confused struggle, but finally
the chains were cut and the suffrag-
cites expelled.
But the number of the disorderly
seemed to increase rather than dimin-
ish. Some of the women were armed
with whips, and they repealed vigor-
ously every attempt to eject them.
There were fierce tussels every few
moments in different parts of the hall,
and every time Mr.. Lloyd George made
an attempt TO speak his voice was
drowned by mingled groans and
cheers. Finally the chancellor, who
for a quarter of an hour had been try
ing to get in a word, sat down, and
the organist tried TO soothe the hys-
terical sisterhood by playing What
Can the Matter Be-" but 1t was of no
use and the pandemonium continued

odd other citizens of Canyon

Dallas in order to be at that
place on Saturday to attend the
Panhandle Day which had been
designated by the Directors of
the State Fair as a portion of the
program for their celebration.
The Panhandle was there with
the goods both in number in at

boosting that took place. Every

that were run from the Plains

wore their badges of distinction
with much pride and indeed
they had a right to be proud for
we had the best exhibits in farm
products, the best looking men
and the handsomeSt women on
the grounds.
Everyone in the entire crowd
seemed to have had a fine time
and came home well pleased with
the showing that the Panhandle
had made at the Fair. Speaking
of the Fair calls to mind the fact
that this years exposition was
by far the best IN all respects
that has ever been held. There

Likes This Country Immensely.

Among the visitors to this city
this week was j. IL. Altizer of
Colorado, Texas, who was here
on a visit to relatives. In speak
ing of his impressions of the
country he said that he had
heard so much of the country
before he came that when he
started out here he felt satisfied
that he would be pleased but
when he arrived and found out
just what the country offered he
was surprised. He thinks that
we have one of the very best
sections of the state, which is
equivalent to saying that we
have as good as any country
anywhere.
Mr.. Altizer is Il railroad man
but to the News reporter he said
that he expected to quit that
kind of work and move to Ran
dali County where he could do
farming with much greater
profit and with much less labor.
