The Acknowledged Leader of the Militant Suf-

ARRIVED IN NEW YORK LAST NIGHT

Experience-She Stoutly Defends Militant Tactics.

bill. Just when this will come to pass
am not prepared to say"
Why Not Rush the House of Com
mons?
Mrs. Pankhurst stoutly defended
militant tactics. "All great move
ments have been worked out by vio-
lence" she said. "'rhe American peo-
pie secured their liberty by violence,
so why not rush the house of COM
mons to obtain what we regard as our
rights? The ballot granted to women
will make them more intelligent. less
self-centered. and on the whole much
better citizens"
Don't you think that there would
be corrupt women politicians and wo-
men ward heelers'?' Mrs. Pankhurst
was asked.
At this she laughed outright. Then,
after q pause, she said:
Well, / don't think it could make
politics worse, at any rate"
Always a Suffragette.
Mrs. Pankhurst said that she had
been suffragette as long as she
could remember. She went to meet
ings in favor of the emancipation of
women when she was only fourteen
years of age accompanied by her
mother, who was herself an ardent
advocate of the cause.
Mrs. Pankhurst,s Career.
Mrs. Pankhurst will remain in the
United States until November %.
She was born in Manchester but
was educated in Paris and lived in
surroundings that were intensely rad
ical. Thirty years ago she married
DR.. Pankhurst, who in 1870 drafted
a woman's suffrage bill which was in
trOduced in the house of commons by
Jacob Bright, and passed the. second
reading before it finally met with de-
feat Her activity at that time re-
suited in her being placed on the eX-
ecutive committee of the only woman
suffrage society then in existence.
For a number of years she served
in the Manchester board of poor law
guardians. and was appointed registrar
of births and deaths in 1899 after the
death of her husband.
Fourteen Weeks in Prison.
Mrs. Pankhurst's clashes with the
police already have cost her IA weeks
in prison, which she served in two in
stallments last year, and it is possi-
BILE that another prison term will be
her lot on returning home from the
United States, because her appeal,
which is to be heard next month
against the sentence imposed on her
last June for attempting to present
a petition to the British prime min
lister, may be decided against her.

tie woman who has served two terms

void Of clamor and smacked nothing
of the vigorous methods for which
Mrs. Pankhurst has been sponsor. But
Immediately she set foot on the shore
ers in this country to the suffrage
headquarters at 502 Fifth avenue.
Typical English Woman.

comingly dressed in a dress of dark

to the pier, but when she had fin
ished she announced that she was
ready to answer any and all questions
of the reporters.
Il am coming to America she said.
ito speak on the subject of equal
rights for women and to study the sit
uation in this country. think we are
away ahead Of you in this matter"
Suffered Solitary Confinement.
As she talked Mrs. Pankhurst dis
played a little medallion she wore and
explained that 1t was a distinguishing
mark worn by those English women
who have been imprisoned for the
cause. Il suffered solitary confine-
ment," she continued, "and had only
one hour of exercise out of the twen-

people and many of whom are educat-
ed, not by colleges. but after a manner
of their own. Carl Schurz told him
once that the ablest man whom he
ever met in any land was an Ameri-
can Indian whom the speaker knew
we'll.
The Indian problem, DR.. Smiley said.
is nearing a solution, and he hoped
to live long enough to see it entirely
removed from discussion the Indians
having in truth become a part and
parcel of the body polite, the Indians
being treated as men and not as wards
of the nation.

"A Hours in
Hypnotic Trance
PATIENT ATTENDED BY DR.. HIe-

STORRs COLLEGE STUDENT
Has Practically Recovered, Although
the Attending Physician Says There
is Still Danger Of Relapse.

Storrs, Conn. Oct. 20-Burton White
of Hartford, a student at the agricul-
tural college here, who went into a
hypnotic trance Saturday night, which
lasted fourteen hours. was said to-
night by his physician, DR.. w. Il.
Higgins of South Coventry. to have
practically recovered, although there is
still danger of a relapse.
Trance Becomes Very Deep.
White. it is alleged, went into the
trance Saturday night while in the
room Of Alexander Borgeson of Litch
field a fellow student, who was prac-
ticing hypnotism. Whites trance be-
came very deep and DIR. Higgins was
summoned, but it was not until four
teen hours later that he was able to
restore White to his right mind. On
Monday afternoon White again re-
lapsed into an unconscious state and
remained in that condition for two
hours. Today he had apparently re-
covered, though the physician says
there is still chance of relapsing in
to unconsciousness again.
Authorities Admit Such a Thing Has
Occurred.
The college authorities refuse to dis
cuss the matter other than to admit
that such a thing has taken place.
Borgeson feels the situation keenly.
