CRUCIAL STAGE REACHED N
 FIGHT FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE
 AND COMMONS MAY BE RUSHED
evoutlon threatens England in Event Shaceton Con clllation Bill, Granting Ballot to Women is
 Killed Tonight
The fate of the shsc-

vote Is taken. The fate of the sbar kleton bill is problematicaI, for 1t fs conceded that party lines will nof be a criterion for the vote. Members of all parties, especially the don1fpaut ones, are badly divided on the ouestfor, ana the vote is sure to be taken amid scenes of disorder.
 The debate on the bill last rsf9nt presaged this. It was especially acri- monious.
 Shackleton, the author Of the rnea- sure, Is labor member from Lanca- snlre: The measure is called the Cancellation bill because 1t proposes to concll1ate the militant suffragettes and the peaceful suffragettes. It pro- poses to allow the ballot 10 women who have property qualifications and who have already voted in nsunicipaI elections.
 The bill if passed would add .Oon 6os voters to the parliamentary registers
 Among those who spoke in opposition to the bill last night wers T. Amman Bryce, Richard Haldens, secretary Of war; Right Hon Walter H. Long and others. William Redmond, the Irfza leader, favored the passage o< fnA bill as did Sir John Rolleston. Nearly every one of the speakers was of . different political faith, showing how badly commons is split on the en- franchisement bill
 Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont, of New York. leader of the American suffragfsx, the Duchess of Marlborough, Mrs Vanderbilt and many other American women were present during the de- bates.
 Chancellor Lloyd George opposed the bill because it's limitations are re- stricted. Secretary Haldens, though an advocate of the ballot for women, supported the government policy.

 London, July 12.-The fight for won- an suffrage in England has reached the crucial stage and the police au- thorities are gravely making elaborate preparations to put down. disorder in the event the House of Commons to- night kills the Shackleton conciliation bill, granting the ballot to women.
 The threat of the militant suffra- gettes to start a revolution if the bill Is defeated Is accepted seriously by the police, who remember former semi-revolutionary tactics of the wom- en when they Rushed" the House and demanded the right to see the King.
 The authorities are massing as many policemen as possible in the vicinity of the House of Parliament, ordering them to put down trouble with firm hand, but to use no more violence than Is necessary in subduing the women. Householders in the vicinity of Parliament, believing that the threatened revolution will be the worst yet attempted by the suffragettes are barring their gates and placing wood en shutters over their windows, to save them from sticks and stones. That the situation will grow turbu- lent If the enfranchisement bill is voted down and that the auffragettes will have many male supporters. The police feel it to be their duty to put down disorder and yet the use of vio- lence against the women, many of whom are members of the gentry, would be sure to cause an upheava1 in England. To force the police to use untoward violence would, accord ing to politicians, be great feather in the caps of the women, giving them

London, July 12.-Hon. Charles 5tewart Rolls, one of the foremost English aviators, a millionaire and member of the gentry, who recently flew from Dover to France and re- turn in Wright biplane, was killed today by fall of 40 feet from his aeroplane.
 Aviator A. U. Demars fell at the same time and was seriously in jured.
 Rolls was competing for the al1ght- ing prize when his machine collapsed He was not at a great height, but the wrecked machine and heavy mo- tor fell on top of him crushing out life almost instantly.
 The accident occurred directly in front of the grand stand and was witnessed by thousands of persons, among whom there was a panic as aviator was extricated from the ruins of his ship.
 The accident is attributed by avia- tcrs who saw it to a breaking of the tail piece of the aeroplane in which Rolls was flying; The machine, be immediately plunged toward the ground, turning repeated somersaults. The terrible fall began wrenching the ship into pieces long before it reached the ground ana there O0S- pended a perfect hail storm of splint- CTS. Captain Rolls struck the ground first and the heavy motor of his ship, torn loose from the framework, fell upon him. He was dead when re- moved from the debris.
 A pathetic sequel to the death of Captain Rolls, occurred late this aft ernoon when his father and mother, Lord and Lady Llongattrock arrived off Bournemouth in their yacht. As they came ashore they upbraided themselves for being too late to wit ness the start of their sons flight, which they knew had been set for a certain time. They hurried to a waiting automobile. to rush to the aviation field, in the hope of seeing Captain Rolls before he 6escended. There they were met with the news of his tragic death which they had narrowly avoided witnessing. Both were prostrated and are under the care of physicians.
 Captain Rolls, who was the third man to cross the English channel in a heavier than air machine, was one of the three members of the English team selected to go to the United States in October to take part in the international balloon race starting from St. Louis in October and later to take part in the international ship contests on Long Island the same month.
