hill, those charged merely with OBJ
struction were discharged. the. others
against whom complaints of assault
and wilful damage of property have
been made were returned to jail to be
held for sentence later.
Most of the women prisoners ap-
peared in court carrying bags contain
ing a change of clothes hopeful of
the glory of martyrdom in Jail. Some
brought their knitting and plying their
needles busily during the proceedings,
greatly amused the spectators.
Among those held for punishment
was Mrs. Haverfield, daughter of
Lord Abinger, who, according to the
testimony introduced promised to
bring a revolver with her on the oc-
casion of the next suffragette demon
stration.
The hearing was adjourned until to-
morrow when a decision in all the cases
will be rendered.
This evening the suffragettes made
another attempt to force their way into
the house of commons but were re-
pulsed and a number of them arrested.

accounts of the fighting at Gomez
PalaciO in Chihuahua were received here
today when Ell Eco, a Spanish daily
published at TorreOn Tuesday, was
brought to FL PasO by a passenger
from Mexico.
A translation of the report follows:
Gomez Palacio, Mex, Nov. 21.-Last
night several rumors were circulated to
which few gave credence, but all were
greatly surprised at o'clock in the
morning by cries and yells of groups
of mounted men, who came forth from
the ruins of the ancient ranch of Santa
Rosa, situated at the extreme end of
the city, where they had been hiding.
The groups separated, one of them at
tacking the warehouse of Librado Car
cia, close to the municipal offices. An
other group attacked the police station,
the police dispensing Immediately. Then
the invaders went into the Jail and re-
leased all the prisoners, also taking all

utes of the stroke of nine, the morn
ing hour officially fixed for the exc
cutiOn.
The hanging was in Pentonville
prison, where the prisoner had been
confined since his return to this coun-
try following his arrest in Canada.
The condemned man who through
out his trial and even until Home
Secretary Churchill had refused a pc
tition for his reprieve had maintained
an imperturbable calmn eSS, presented
a pitiable appearance as he was led
through the short corridor from his
cell to the scaffold.
His mental anguish had been too
great to be covered up by bravado and
it was a broken man the warders were
obliged to assist up the steps to the
drop, upon which, once reached, the
shrinking figure all but collapsed.
The first report that Crippen had
met his fate calmly was contradicted

TURKEY FOR TAFT.
The Thanksgiving Bird Was Late in
Arriving This Year.

Washington, Nov. 23.-The piece de
resistance on the White House Thanks
giving day table will be a big turkey
from the farm of Horace Vose, near
Westerly, R. L, the farm which for a
generation past yearly has supplied the
biggest bird from its flock to tempt the
appetite of successive presidents.
This years turkey, one of the finest
which the generous Rhode Islander
ever sent, arrived today. The prospect
was that the White House would have
to go to market and buy it's own tur-
key for this Thanksgiving, as the Gus
tomary turkey was late in arriving.

Diaz Is All Right.
Mexico City, Nov. 2S.-There is no
foundation for the rumor that harm
