SUFFRAGISTS
CREATE Scene
Fail in Their Attempt TO See Premier
Numerous Arrests Are
Made.

London, Feb. 1.-THE sufragettes
failed in their attempt to present to
Premier Asquith the resolution
adopted at a meeting of the Women's
Freedom league declaring for a con-
tinuation Of the militant propaganda
for suffrage. They first attempted to
march in procession but their line
being broken up by the police. they
mingled with a crowd of the curious
who had gathered to witness the
scene and sauntered singly toward
Downing street.
The police, however, had complete
ly blocked all entrances to the thor
oughfare and 20 of the more mill
tant suffragettes who tried to break
through the lines, were arrested,
charged with interfering with the po-
lice. For time there was ii scene
Of great disorder, women time and
again throwing themselves valiantly
against the double line of police, only
to be forced back or if they were
unusually persistent TO be handed
over to constables, who marched them
off to the police station amid cheers,
boots and Kisses from the throng.
The police finally cleared the street
and the women who were not ar
rested returned to the hall, where
they were addressed by leaders.
The women who were taken into
custody were later arraigned in police
court. They refused to pay the fines
imposed and were sent to prison for
terms varying from a fortnight to a
month

DEAN BILL KILLED
Rose County Option Law Will Not Be
Amended.

Columbus, o., Feb. 19.-The session
Of the legislature was marked by the
defeat in the senate of the Dean bill,
probably the most important measure
of the liquor interests, and intended
to save cities voting wet from the eff
fects of county local option elections
when the drys win, and by the refer
ence to the taxation committee of the
house of the Woods taxation and pub
lie utilities bill. The latter action
was regarded by friends of the meas
ure as equivalent to killing it. There
was an exciting debate before the
vote was taken. which showed the
Democrats to be practically unani,
nous against the reference of the bill
to the taxation committee. Only few
Republicans voted with the Demo
Gratis. The vote as announced was
60 to 40.
