ASQUITH HOUSE
is STONED BY
SUFFRAGETTES
spectal ~ Unitea press we.

Special by United Press Wire.
London, Nov. 23:-Taking adyan-
tage of a dense fog a band of suffra-
gettes early today swooped down on
a residence of Premier Asquith and
with iron missiles broke every win
dow in the house. Augustine Bir-
refi, chief secretary to the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland, who was as
saulted by the ~suffragettes yesterday,
was so BADLY injured that he has had
to cancel all engagements for sever
al days to come.
The Premier yesterday yielded to
the opportunities of the suffragettes
and In the House of Commons an
nounced that If he was still in power
at the next session of parliament the
government would give facilities for
the consideration of a woman's fran
chise bill so framed as to admit of
free amendment.
Later in the day other bands of
the women attacked the homes of
EoaeIsaa Secretary Earl Gray, Lewis
Harcourt and Winston Churchill, do
ing considerable damage. More than
fifty OF the suffragettes were arrest
ed.
1t seems that the premier's promise,
instead of %placating, only iniamed the
women, who decided that Mr.. Asquith
was playing with them. AT a meet
ing at Caxton hall Miss Christabel
Pankhnrst, characterized the minister's
statement as wholly unsatisfactory
and ''nothing more or less than an in
suit to the cause"
Mrs. Pankhurst In the Lead.
A body Of suffragettes with banners
flying, headed by Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst, then marched to Downing
street, where they were Joined by
many male sympathizers. A small
force of police vainly tried to check
their advance, but the crowd Of men
and women hurled themselves for
ward, and there was a fierce strug-
gle for a few minutes. Then the po-
lice succeeded in forcing them back,
and the shrieking, hysterical mob ad-
RANGED toward the prime minister's
residence.
Police re-enforcements which had
been summoned were soon on the spot
and e~ndeavored to arrest the progress
Of the suffragettes. The women as
saulted the ~constables, In many cases
with considerable brutality, and again
succeeding in breaking the Gordon
amid scenes of the widest confusion.
Further police re-enforcements ar
rived. n the constables at length
gained the upper hand of the mob.
Ninety three Were Arrested.
1t is estimated that about 500 per
sons, including 300 women, took part
in the melee. There were nipety-three
arrests. Among these were Mrs. Elm
incline Pankhurst and other prominen'
s~uffragette leaders, including a wo
man who spent Sunday night and al
of Monday on the roof of a music hal

A deputation from the. Caxton hall
meeting of ~sufrragettes ran across Mr.,
Asquith as he was crossing Parliament
square on his way to the government
offices on Downing street. Crowds of
excited women quickly surrounded the
premier, and one of them named Hen
rietta Williams ran forward and struck
him, at the same time shouting, "You

FORMER LORD CHANCELLOR
NEVER WENT TO SCHOOL
Earl of HaIsbury Taught by His
Father, Editor of Standard

LONDON, June 30.-The earl of Halls
burg, the former lord chancellor, has
confessed at meeting of the Authors
club that he never went to school,.
'I connot but remember" he said, "and
remember with gratitude, that owe
to my own father, who was the editor
O fthe Standard for number of years,
all the education that I have ever re-
ceived. Speaking conffdentially, I will
tell you that was never at school
at all.
81 do not know ne continued, ''in
what form I am to join the sometimes
hostile forces of literature and law. 1t
is part of a judges duty sometimes
to condemn some forms of literature,
and indeed some of the things I have
seen in courts of law would be paid q
high compliment to be spoken of as
literature at all.
sit is said that If these things are
literary we have no right to suppress
them by law. I am afraid cannot
concur. I think they ought to be sup
pressed by law, anG I do not believe
any admirer of literature in it's proper
form and true sense will disagree with
me.
''But it is very easy to get up cry
and very easy to speak of the most
loathsome appeal to the lowest of the
passions as If 1t were freedom to
allow these things to be distributed
among u.s."
Sir Gilbert Parker, M. p, paid fine
tribute to Lord Halsbury.
''It is my duty" he said, "to welcome
one of the most DISTINGUISHED men
whom the empire has produced. He
is great Judge, and a lord chancellor
beyond emulation"

NAVAL MILITIA COMPANY
OFF ON 1S-DAY CRUISE
Men Pay Expenses to San Fran
cisco, Where They Board
Government Boat

The seventh division Of the naval
militia of California left San Pedro
yesterday for San Francisco, where 1t
will join the naval militia from other
parts of the state and go on a nineteen
day cruise to Seattle and return. This
cruise is taken annually by the local
naval militia, but the men are going to
Seattle this year, not only for the prac-
tice but to aid In the establishment OF
a division there similar to the one in
this city.
From San Francisco they will go on
board the government ship Marblehead
for the remainder of the trip. This
vessel will be officered and manned ex-
clusively from the ranks of the naval
militia, and 1t is expected that the men
will get much good practice and eX-
perience from the trip.
A total of thirty-four men and four
officers made UP the company from
Los Angeles who will make the trip.
The men are compelled to pay their ex-
penses from this city to San Francisco,
the government making no appropria-
ton for expenses to the starting point.
Lieut.. A. II. Woodbine, under whose
command the local division sailed, eX-
pressed himself as being highly pleased
with the fact that his men thought
enough of the service to not only lose
three weeks time from their employ
ment but to also pay their way to San
Francisco and return in order that they
might take the trip.

WINS $4,000 WITH
AN INVESTMENT Of So
Fortunate Indian Army Officer
Holds Lucky Ticket in
Calcutta Sweep

LONDON, June 30--A fortune of
$160, 900 was won on an outlay of 50 by
one man who saw Lemberg win the
Derby this year. The lucky sportsman
was Capt. H. 7. Raban of the Indian
army, now in England on a years
leave, who drew the winner in the CAL
cutta sweep.
mo. O3,211' was the winning ticket
purchased by Capt. Raban, who is the
stepson of the Rev. c. e. Chard, rector
of Hatch -Beauchamp, in Somerset.
Capt. Raban, who is an assistant mill
tary accountant of the first class in the
Indian army accounts department, has
been staying with his relatives in
Somerset since his return to England.
He bought two other tickets for
members of his family, in addition to
that which now has brought him the
great prize. The Calcutta sweep is the
largest of it's kind in the world, nearly
100000 tickets being sold in all parts of
India and the east, as well as in Eng
land.
When Capt. Raban learned that he
had drawn Lemberg he sold half his
ticket for $37 500, retaining his right to
the other half of the prize, which is
worth nearly $250,000 as whole.
The history of the Calcutta sweep
has many romances. 1t was started by
the Calcutta Turf club as a compare
lively small affair, but it has yearly
grown in popularity until now nearly
every sportsmen in the east and the
colonies takes one or more tickets.
The tickets, which cost ten rupees
or roughly, $3.50 each. are competed
for keenly and syndicates buy up large
numbers and pool the result. Even to
draw a starter in the race means a
large cash prize, and the second and
third horses draw amounts in proper
ton to the first prize.
One year the prize of $15O,00O was
won by the 6-year-old daughter of a
native signalman on an Indian railway
and the family was instantly lifted into
prosperity.
A windfall from the Derby sweep
last year fell to valet at west end
club, who sold half his ticket for $780,
600 and retired on the proceeds.

JAPANESE RAISE
RATE ON ENGLAND
Surprise Their Greatest Ally by
Increasing Tariff to an
Enormous Extent
BRITISHERS ARE INDIGNANT
Protector and Friend of Flowery
Kingdom Feels Kick of
Ingratitude

LONDON, June 30.-England has
been hurt in the house of her friends
The willy Japanese have raised their
tariff against her to an enormous eX-
tent, the increase in some cases
amounting to as high as 400 per cent
OF course England is indignant, as. she
well might be, after posing as the
friend and protector of the young east
ern power and helping her out OF IN
Vulnerable difficulties. But such is
gratitude. To add insult to injury,
the Japanese claim they took the Ut
most care to consider British interests.
OF course it is the fashion for nearly
every power in the world to raise It's
tariff, and the Japanese have not been
slow to take the cue and follow the
example of the older and more ex-
perienced nations.
The increased rates in the new Jap
anese tariff, or the effect of them, Will
fall mainly on British manufacturers,
and when put into force will make 1t
necessary for many British firms now
trading in Japan to abandon their BUS
mess. In the absence of statistics,
which are only available to the Jap
anese government, it is impossible,
owing to the radical alterations in
classification, to show in detail the full
extent Of the increase in the tariff on
British goods. Certain broad facts are,
however, available, and can be suf-
ficiently supported by examples to
show the prohibitive character of the
new rates. For instance, there is the
statement of Mr.. Wakatsuki, the vice
minister of finance: I'm compiling the
new tariff the government directed its
attention to an increase Of revenue OF
about $7,50O,000.
In consequence of the change in Jap
anese policy the Hudderstield chamber
of commerce has decided to approach
the British board of trade in an en-
deavor to induce the government to
prevail on the Japanese government to
reduce the proposed heavy tariff on
wooden, worsted and cotton goods. The
foreign trade and tariffs committee of
the chamber has approved Of the
statement drawn up by Thomas Hird,
explaining the probable prejudicial eff
feet the new tariff would have on
local products, and this has been sent
to the president of the board of trade.
amount to 400 per cent. 1t is sug-
gested that the two governments
should enter into a special convention
with regard to these commodities.
In the draft presented to the jap
anese diet no alteration Is proposed in
the rate of duty on the principal oils
or on rice, and although a large in
crease is proposed on sugar, yet that
is an article doomed to disappear very
shortly from the lists of imports, owing
to the enormous increase in home pro-
duction from the island of Formosa.
The duties collected in the year 1908
on articles of which Great Britain
supplied nearly so per cent amounted
to $12, 500, OO0 If the new tariff is to
yield anything like an increase OF
81, 900 it follows that the revised
rates must on the average be much
more than double those Of the old tar
iff.

TRACTION ENGINE FED
BY OIL PROVES SUCCESS
New Principle Applied to Motor
for Field Guns

LONDON, June 30-Maj. Gen. c. e.
at the war office; Colonel Holden, chief
Of the gun factory at Woolwich, and
a committee of expert officers have
attended the trials at Aldershot of a
new oil fuel traction engine designed
for hauling artillery of the heaviest
type over all kinds of roads and across
rough country apd up hills. The en-
gine, the invention of David Roberts,
weighs eight tons, is of 70-horsepower,
with a maximum speed of eight miles
an hour.
Quite a new principle in locomotion is
applied in the engine, which, instead
Of travelling in the ordinary way, rolls
along on an endless track which 1T lays
for itself This track is something
like great chain of steel links, the
outside Of each being shod with blocks
of wood, which act as sleepers Of
a. permanent way. This track enables
the engine to pass over with great
ease and little propulSive power any
kind Of rough ground, rocky areas, soft
sand and bog, and safely negotiate the
very stiffest gradients and to cross
bitches and gullies.
1t was tested across the soft sand
of the Long valley, drawing a six
ton field gun, and succeeded in get
ting it up and down the hillsides about
Aldershot, over deep water courses,
the banks Of which are very steep, and
the nacross a wide stretch of boggy
ground, which was by far the stiffest
test of all. The gun finally stuck In
a deep ditch with straight banks, but
was successfully hauled out by the
engine by means of a steel cable and
winding drum, but not before the ca
BILE had snapped once with the great
strain put upon 1t.
The engine is to be purchased by the
war office with a view to adopting 1t
for heavy artillery. The engine has
completed 300 miles road test.
