Mod rd London has never witnessed
mors extraordinary spectacle than last
nights demonstration by the suf-
rle'ttes.
For three or four hours vast multi
tude of men and women besleged the
House of Commons. Five thousand
policemen had their energies tested to
the utmott to protect the precincts OF
Wes minister ir,m the invasion. A
small fleet of police boats was stationed
on the Thames TO wsrl off attacks by
water. The land forces, including all the
mounted men of the msir polls. had the
wsrmest time since the trafalgar Squsre
riots, twenty years ago.
1t was the largest semblage seen in
Parliament Square and vicinity within
living memory. 1t WAS not q violei

work WAS unavoidable, and the ar WAS

There were many arrests. Those

nIvoRnEn FROM do"-

lnc-r ..l. =. me man who,
,.. ..v IS scion ol nobility,
won her youthful heart, only to desert
her.
The decree gives the wife the right
TO resume her maiden name and also
places her child in her custody. Miss
Hobbs is now and hiss been for more
than three years living with her parents
ct Lambtrts Point.
Miss Hobbs was married to "Lord"
Oswald Reginald Douglas st POrx-
mouth September 30, 1908. In sp-
plying for the marriage license Douglas
told the clerk of the court that he wss
native of Glasgow, Scotland. He
gave bis age st 81 years. Miss Hobbs
was 81.
In her bill of complaint, Mrs. Doug
las stated that she and her husband
lived together until September %, 1904,
when he deserted her in Dinuba, GAL,
stensibly for the purpose of going 10
Egypt on a business trip. She heard
from him by leitsr October 3, 1904,
but the envelope bore the postmsrk
J, rsey City, n. j. The wife states she
does not know wheIher he Is alive or
dead.
Miss Hobbs met Douglss only q few
weeks before she became his wife. He
represented himself 10 her as "lord, "
and said that he owned land and pos
sessed q fortune abroad, which represeu-
tations have been proven false. She says
she was Influenced by the represent ation 5
TO elope with him and be married.
Soon after their marriage they left on
an extended trip TO Mexico, Oalifornia
and Japan. They returned together as
far a. Dinubs, aud here he beRan mis-,
{ e, ng her. She slIeges that daily she
Iesied be would do her bodily harm.
Douglas left his wife penniltss in
Dinuba at the home OF A. l.. Dlckey, q
,t-anger to her. Sometime after she wfs
sent money from her rela ives in Nor.
folk to purchase transportation home.
While en- route she was taken i'll at
Houston, Tex, where child was born
to her. Recovering from the illness the
trip homeward was resumed, and since
then she has resided with her mother, al
Lsmberts Puint.
Numerous reports have become cur
reut concerning the fake "Lord' Douglas
since he deserted his wife. The last re.
port was that he had died of consnmp'
| ton.
