SLAP IS GAUGE OF BATTLE
Miss Pankhurst Says Assault on
Policeman is Act of Defiance.
sUFFRAGETTEs LOSE IN COURT
Magistrate Decides Women Have No
Right to Present Petition 10 Pre-
i mier--women VIII starve
Themselves.

LONDON, July 9.-Sr Albert De Rutzen
chief magistrate OF the Metropolitan po-
lice court, today decided against the suf-
fragettes on the point raised by Miss Pank-
hurst regarding their right to present
petition to the premier and sentenced Miss
Pankhurst to pay a fine of S25 or go to
prison for a month for resisting the po-
lice.
Miss Pankhurst, who defended herself
declared her assault on Police Inspector
Jarvison June 20, when l16 suffragettes
were arrested for trying to force their
way into the House of Commons, was her
gauge Of battle to the government and
defiance for its unconstitutional ways"
"I was aware" continued Miss Pank-
hurst, that when I started that deputa-
ton OF eight helpless women, about whom
men armed with opera glasses had con-
gregated to watch as though II was a
good show, 1t was bound to result in
iguomlnious humiliation; but until women
have the power to elect representatives to
Parliament IL is their duty to maintain
the right OF a subject to petition the king
through Parliament. II the magistrate re-
peats his former sentences we will go to
prison, but we will not conform any longer
with the prison regulations. AS political
offenders we will insist on being treated
as such and not as ordinary criminals,
and in the last resort we will act as did
Miss Dunlop"
Miss Dunlop obtained her release yes
terday by starving herself for twenty-one
hours.
Mrs. Haverfield daughter Of Lord Abb
niger, was given the same sentence as
Miss Pankhurst. Both the women gave
notice OF appeal and were released on
promising to abstain from sending fur
ther deputations to the House Of Com
mons during the present session. The
cases Of all other suffrasettes arrested
with Miss Pankhurst were adjourned pend
ing the outcome OF the appeal.
Four suffragettes, who under the leader
ship of Mrs Despard, waited patiently for
the last few days in the vicinity OF parlis-
ment, waylaid Premier Asquith in Downing
street today. The women shouted, "Peti'
ton. petition; will you grant us heartngF
The premier turned on the steps OF his
residence, saying: II will take the peti-
ton" He descended, and having accepted
the petition, entered his house without
listening to any explanation. The deputa
ton withdrew, but on returning later wen
arrested and charged at the. police eourt
with 6isorderly conduct. They were re-
manded until Monday.

It were, and will take up the work as 1t
was originally intended it should be, and
get together for Missouri river improve
ment," said former Congressman Ellis,
retiringd president OF the Missouri River
Navigation congress, last night.
The former president of the congress
was at the Hotel Loyal, where he and
other delegates from Kansas City were
entertained at dinner by Manager Tag
gart.
You see it-ls this way" said Mr.. Ellis.
The Missouri river is a mighty biz
stream and is virtually three rivers. There
is one stretch up in Montana and northern
North Dakota which runs easterly, and
that is one section. Then there is another
stretch from below Bismarck down 70
shout Sioux City which runs in a south
erly direction and that is another section.
Then there is a third stretch past your
city and mine which flows southeasterly,
and that is a third section. or a third
river. So you see we have practically
three rivers with three distinct localities.
What we want to do and must do is to
OeIhent All tnese sectlons toBelher into
a whole and then go to Washington with
a solid front.
THE little difficulty that has existed
heretofore is not deep seated by any
means. 1t was just a little local surface
controversy in Sioux City. which. II II
has not already blown over, will very
shortly.
Omaha has no personal claims to press,
has no axe to grind, and we will meet
here next December in perfect unanimity
OF purpose and put our shoulders to the
wheel and give this river navigation bust
ness boost that will be felt in Washing

TWO OPERA

TORS HAVE NO HOPE FOR
HIS RECOVERY.

City Engineer Frank Davis is
dying this afternoon at Fannie
Paddock hospital, following two
operations for bowel obstruction.
Saturday evening Mr.. Davis
was celebrating with the Shriners
as well as ever apparently. While
they were drilling a terrific storm
broke and everybody ran for the
temple. They had just eaten a
very hearty meal and the entire
patrol arrived out of breath. A
few minutes later they started to
march down the street. Mr..
Davis was feeling perfectly well.
At the postoffice he stopped and
stopped over for to tie his shoe
and when he arose he felt pain
full gripping in his intestines. He
doubled up and was taken very
ill. He took the car, went home
and Tuesday evening the doctors
|operated on him at Fannie Pad
dock hospital for obstruction of
the bowels.
They found an entangled condi-
tion of the lower 1ntessines with
a state of paralysis. The opera
tion was apparently successful,
but he grew worse and last night
in hope of saving him after con-
sultathpn of physicians hnother
operation was performed, a new
opening being made into the alb
dominal cavity. A tube was in
serted into the bowels above the
affected portion and today he is
being made as comfortable as pos
sible, but the doctors say there is
no chance for his recovery.

Many efforts to learn

that the finances of the

however, was denied by

LAWMAKERS TO
TAKE UP STATE
INVESTIGATION
Scandal in Insurance Department and
National Guard to Be Probed-Local
Option Fight May Hold Boards

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SEATTLE, June 3.-The proc
lamation calling the legislature to
meet in extraordinary session at
2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon,
June 29, has been written and
signed by Governor Hay, who is
In Seattle today, but the governor
stated at noon that 1t would snot
be formally issued until after a
conference with Attorney General
Bell this afternoon.
That the call will be issued is
considered to be absolutely GER
tain, but there are some matters
bearing on the convening of the
Legislators which Governor Hay
desires to discuss with the attor-
ney general and for that reason
the formal Issuance of the call is
being withheld.
The extra meeting is called
primarily for the purpose of in
vestigating the scandals recently
unearthed in the state insurance
department and the Washington
national guard.
Expect Lively Session.
One of the liveliest meeting in
the history of the state is expect
ed when the lawmakers assem-
BILE. This Is indicated in var
lious ways.
While the legislators are cali
ed together principally for the
purpose of impeaehing Insurance
Commissioner Sohively, many
questions that have kept the pot
boiling in state politics for some
time will come up for settlement.
For instance, repeal of the local
option law will be proposed, it is
said, and similar action may be
taken on the new criminal code.
Trouble Ahead.
No one who is familiar with
the situation doubts that the two
steps such as these will create
enough trouble to. supply ten or
binary legislative sessions.
Then, again, it is expected that
Governor HAY will try to slip
through his excellent amendment
providing that all state elective
|officials shall be abolished and
filled by men appointed by the
chief executive. 1t is we'll known
that the liquor interests have
for some time been working sew
eral kinds of schemes to win their
fight against local option at the
special session, which has been
looked forward to for the past
few weeks. The school authori-
ties will also be on hand in their
war paint to protest against sew
eral sections Of. the new school
code.
Governor Gives Reasons.
In discussing his decision to
call a special session of the legis-
lature, Governor Hay today said:

FRANKFORT, KY, June
3.-Withfn sound of Gov
ernor Wilson's mansion,
John Make, a negro attache
of a circus, after escaping
death at the hands of a mob
of negroes, was taken from
Jail by a band of white men
and lynched early today from
a bridge over the Kentucky
river.
Gov. Wilson was summoned
from bed and informed of the
lynching. The executive did not
leave his house, declaring that
there was no reason why he
should interfere with the local af.
fairs.
Maize was discovered by Bert
Bower, white forman of the cir
Gus laborers, in the act of ripping
a hole in the canvas tent. When
ordered to desist, the negro shot
Bower in the abdomen. 1t is be-
heved that the superintendent
will die.
When Bowers negro workmen
learned of the shooting they
threatened to lynch Make and
would have done so had he not
been locked up in Jail. A mob
OF white men formed later in the
night and going to the Jail, de-
manded the surrender of the ne
gro. The jailers were powerless
to prevent the entrance of the
mob and Make was quietly taken
from his cell and hanged to the
bridge.
