London, June 30-The thirteenth
vain attempt Of the militant suffrag-

Asuuith by deputation resulted in eX
cit ng scenes in parliament square
last night and the arrest of more than
100 women. The plan of campaign
followed the lines previously en-
pIOyed by the suffragettes. The
"woman's parliament" assembled in
CaxtOn hall and sent a population,
headed by Mrs. ParkhuTst, to endeaV-
or to see the prime minister, who had
previously decided not to receive the
deputatiOn.
Enormous crowds assembled in the
vicinity of the parliament house,
around which several thousand police
had taken up strategic positions. The
first noteworthy incident was the ar
rest, after a great deal of trouble Of
a buXOm equestrian suffrageste who
tried to penetrate the police Gordon to
take a message to the premier Next
appeared a deputation under the com
mand of Mrs. PaTkhurst, and it was
received b. the crowd with wild
cheers. Escorted by the police, the
deputation arrived at Saint Stephens
entrance to parliament, where it was
met by Chief Inspector ScantleburE,
who handed Mrs. Pankhurst a Ie-te"
from the premier, regretting his ina
biIity to receive the deputaton.
Angrily throwing the letter on the
ground, Mrs. Parkhurst declared her
ght as d kings subject 20 enter the
house of commons, and she endeav-
Ored to force an entrance.
The police tried to induce the wom-
Ell to dispense quietly and then be-
gan to take members of the depura-
ton by their arms to lead them away.
In the struggle, Mrs. Parkhurst
slapped Inspector Jarvis in the face,
knocking his cap in the mud. For
this the crowd denounced her. A mo-
ment later, another member of the
depUtatiOn, Mrs. Saul Solomon,
knocked off he inspectors cap a sec
ond time while others made deter,
mined attempt to rush The Gordon of
police. Eventually, the entire depu-
jation was placed under arrest.
BY this time, a second deputa-i0n
had left Caxton hall, accompanied by
hundreds of suffragetter and Others
and an attempt was made to reach
the commons through an underground

At six thirty the machine was ready
for another trial and the first mishap

less successful, the machine refusing

Shortly after it assembled from the
ground it showed signs Of losing head

field, remaining in the air about fifty
seconds and landing almost immedi-
ately in front of the starting track. It

60-miIe gale, in a dense black storm
cloud, 10000 feet above the earth,

the merciless hurricane, which
seemed bent on their destruction. AT

the basket as the wicker was pitched
high up by a sudden jerk. Finally,
the bottom slowly telescoped and the
balloon came down like a parachute,
10 miles from St. Louis. When the
men landed, Hermann sprained his
ankle while getting out of the basket.

THE EKPLoRER'S PROOF.

From The London Saturday Review
When an explorer returns and says he has
done specific thing he is entitled to be taken
al his word; and in ninety-ntne cases out or a
rnents is over he has spontaneously produced
evidence of the truth OF his statements. When
Lieutenant Shackleten returned from the neigh
borhood of the South Pole few months ago
his first announcement was accepted as ac-
, curate: but while the man in the street in his
thousands was reading the long telegram there
were half dozen keen minds at work 1ottlns
down the positions maps, calculating mile
ages and dividing them by days setting one
statement against another, so that II any dis
creDancv existed it would be brought to light.
Some of these were friends Of the explorer. never
doubling the truth of what he said; some per
haps were critics who had predicted that the
exnedition would be failure, anxious 20 Vtndi-
cate their own prescience at the expense OF the
explorers reputation, and some were mere
scieutifc GaIlios caring neither for the honor
nor the discredit Of the man, but simply desirOus
OF testing the statements before accepting them.
The public never heard of this; IT probably
does not vet know whether Shackleton has
proved his assertions or faces the world on the
mere statement Of what he has done. The
public does not know, but the experts do, that
no discrepancy was found In Shackletons story.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: VIII the Coney Island MardI Gras thuggery
arouse our city magistrates to a realization of the
fact that hoodlumism is the increase in this
city. and cannot be suppressed with rosewater, nor
with paltry $ and SO fines? II so. some good. at
least. will have come from the dsgracefu scenes Of
last Saturday.
The hoodlum is the vilest type of degenerate, sa-
tisting malignant disposition with devilish de-
light in the discomfort and suffering of others. He
knows law but force. and can be curbed only by
mercess severity. The absurd pretext for leniency
that taiI sentence renders the subject OF it in
eligible to position the police force, involves
the monstrous assumption that lives and homes
safe under the protection Of the Apache tribe.
Such scoundrels ought 10 be ineligible to any posi-
tion in which they would have the least power TO
molest others Their vicious dispositions cannot be
cured by dressing them up in uniform Let us hope
that magistrate will hereafter affront the com
nnunity by failing to nfict stiff Jail sentence on
every thug brought before him.
