WOMAN PLANS TO DESCEND
ON PARLIAMENT WITH A
BALLOON; SCHEME FAILS

(By United Press Leased Wire

change in air currents yesterday
frustrated one of the most ingen-
uous and determined attacks on
parliament yet made by the sur-
fragettes. Scarcely had word
been sent out that the king had
begun his address to parliament
before Miss Muriel Matters, sur
fragette, caused the restraining
ropes of a balloon in which she
WAS seated to be cast OF. The
balloon under the guidance OF
Miss Matters was headed toward
parliament.
Thousands of pamphlets carry
ing the notice, "Votes for wom-
en-" were in the car of the balloon
for impromptu distribution upon
the heads of the members of par
lament, while Miss Matters was
supplied with a megaphone with
which to shout the slogan of the
