Suffragettes Chained to Grille Struggle Desperately Against Efforts to Dislodge
 Them.
IRON GRILLE TORN AWAY
Fifteen Women Arrested in Street Outside Parliament Buildings Men Aid Womcns
 Protest.

London, Oct, 2S.--Suifragette dls- turbances have driven the government to the unusual course of temporarily closing the strangers and ladies gal leries in the house of commons. This wa<announced by the speaker in res ponse 10 q question from Premier Asduith and MT. Ralfour, the leader of the opposition, as parliament was ad- iourned tonight.
 During the course of the evening, while the house was discussing the licensing bill. a sensation was caused by the display of a placard and sud den shrill cries from the ladies gall lery demanding votes for women, while simultaneously a bundle of handbills huttered down from the strangers gallery at the opposite end of the chamber and a man shouted protests against injustice to women"
 Attendants hurried to the galleries and the male offender was unceremon- iously ejocted, but from the ladies' gallery sounds were heard of des- perate struggle Two suffragettes had firmly chained themselves to the grille and resisted for time, all ef- forts at removal, crying continuously in shrill tones their demands for votes.
 The scene was watched with amaze ment from the floor of the house, but finally the suffragettes were dragged from their posts ana removed, but only after portions of the grille itself were removed with them.
 Ten minutes later there was another dramatic scene, man in the strangers gallery ninging another bundle of bills down upon the house and shoutine; Why don't you give women votes and relieve the unempoyed.'
 Attendants rushed upon him but he resisted nerely the attempts made to carry him bodily from the gallery. After desperate struggle, the a '- tendants succeeded in ejecting the man,
 About the same time a large body of suffraeettes made a demonstration outside the parliament building and fifteen of them were arrested
 The removal of the two militant suf- frapettes presented comical scene to those in the corridors. Both of the offenders were laughing heartily, and they were escorted by posse of po- icemen. one of the officers carrying that portion of the iron work of tho ! grille to which tho women were chain ed They were conducted into com mittee room and workmcn were sum moned to file off the iron from the chains which were securely ooiled around the woman's waist II was found the chains lad been carefully padded to prevent noise and betrayal when the suffragettcs entered the h. dies gallery According to their com | panions the whole thing had been planned beforehand with great secrecy. Ono hand was to demonstrate outside tho building, another in the lobby of the house and a third in the gallery. The gallery contingent numbered four teen, but t was attended by many 1 passive sympathizers.
