The precautions taken to exclude suf-
fragists from the Liberal meeting at
the Albert Hall recently were effectual.

disguised suffragette attempted to
get in. She came in the uniform of
telegraph boy. But a lynx-eyed male
saw by the way her peak cap was
poised that the telegraph boy was
only young woman in disguise. Real
izing that she was recognized, the dis
guised one ran down the steps of the
hall amid mingled cheers and jeers
and drove away in four wheeler.
1t was fully expected that at the end
of Thursdays suffragette meeting in
the hall some women would attempt to
remain on the premises in readiness
to disturb the Liberal demonstration.
The reason for anticipating this was
that a woman was discovered about 5
o'clock on that afternoon-that Is,
prior to the suffragettes' own display
hidden in the organ. Many women
had been admitted during the after
noon, and she and the others who hid
themselves in the hall were supposed
to be of the number who then entered.
She reached her position in the organ
at considerable risk, for elaborate
structural precaution had already been
taken in view of a recent meeting to
| prevent any one from approaching the
organ.
Failure on the part of the woman to
accomplish the feat in safety would
| have meant drop Of twenty feet into
the seats of the orchestra. She came
out voluntarily when discovered-oth-
| erwise there was no room for a man
to get in to force her out.
This one having been found In the
organ loft, the Waterman proceeded
to search the whole building after the
women's meeting was over. He found
two in small corridor between the
band room and the platform and one
in a pay box at the entrance. The
suffragettes allege that they followed
the man round covertly.
Some hours later-about 3 o'clock
one morniNg-the Waterman found an
other womaniin one of the boxes. hid
| den behind the curtains. He tele-
phoned to the police to know what to
| do with her. They told him to let
her go, and she was turned out, as
the others had been. Or rather she
would have been turned out, but on re-
turning to the waiting room where he
had put her the man found she had es-
capped through window.
Still another woman was found in a
dark portion of the building. the credit
for the discovery in this case being
due to the dog which accompanies the
man on his rounds.
When taken out of their hiding
places the women presented sorry
sight. being covered with dirt and
dust. Some had bags of food.
Recently the manager Of the hall
with a large staff of assistants. went
over the huge building thoroughly
right up to the crown of the roof No
body was found, but special men were
placed on the doors leading to the ROOT
in order to prevent any unauthorized
person from ascending.
During the afternoon the stewards
engaged for the Liberal meeting ar
rived, and before that the management
had made another tour of the lower
part of the building especially under
the stalls in the area and the bal
cony, where any number OF women
could hide and make themselves heard
throughout the hall by megaphone.
1t seems the women had offered as
much as f20O for seat at one nights
