Two Hundred and Fifty Women, in
Bedraggled Condition, Made
to Face Tribunal.
RIOTERS CROWD ABOUT COURT
Army OF Police Necessary TO Keep Order.
Females With Black Eyes Scratched
Faces and Bruised Bodies.

London. Nov. 22.-Dishereled
from their combat with the police
and frowsy from the inconveniences
OF night in Jail, 220 suffragettes
we're on hand at Bow street Police
Court this morning for participating
in yesterday evenings raid on the
Houses of Parliament.
Miss Mary Oldham. charged with
obstructing traffic, assaulting the po-
lice and malicious destruction o.!
property. was the first woman ar
raigned. undaunted by what she had
been through, she boldly dc1ied the
court 10 do its worst, saying she would
willingly undergo martyrdom for the
cause in which she is enlisted. She
was sentenced to ii days imprison-
ment with the option of 4 Sl1.30
fine. and promptly elected 10 so TO
iail. The trials will probably cover
several days.
Following disposition OF Miss Old
hams case the court adopted the
method Of graduating the prisoners
sentences according 10 the amount
of damage they were accused OF hav-
ing done. Where the damage eN-
ceeded S25, however, the offenders
are being bound over for trial by Il
Superior Court.
A somewhat riotous crowd sur
rounded the court when the ranload
OF prisoners arrived, and an army OF
police had hard work to keep order.
Black eyes and scratched faces
were numerous among the women
and several declared their entire bod
les were masses Of bruises.
They charge that the police were
under orders to handle them as brut-
ally as possible. short OF inllicting
serious injury. by way of discourag-
ing them. To this end, they assert,
the officers struck them in the face.
pinched them. twisted their arms,
ripped off garments and in some in
stances treated them with actual in
decency.
The leaders say these methods will
not deter them for an instant from
continuing their campaign until Suf-
frage is granted them.
3" They will do their utmost TO create
disorder in Jail as outside OF it. They
1endantsr will be resisted. there will
be hunger strikes. the prison furni-
tura will be smashed and every meth
cd resorted to to force the govern
menl TO surrender.
In last nights encounter scores
of policemen were hurt. a number
were stabbed with hatpins. Others
were hit by flying stones. Some
had their eyes blackened, their noses
bruised and teeth knocked out by
brass knnckles in the women's hands.
This is real war said Miss Chris
tobel Pankhurst. the militant suffra-
Gette leader today. land the govern
ment may just as well understand il
first as last. No. we are not unreas-
enable. We have acted with the
greatest moderation.
"No great reform is ever won with
out physical struggle. We are de-
termined upon this reform and we
do not shrink from the struggle.
"How far do we intend to go? We
intend to go just as far as we must
to get what we want-ballots."

Legislative Committee Of
State Board Of Trade
Against Transmission Of EIeC-
tric Power Out Of State.
Passes Good Roads Resolution
Favors Maine as Winter Resort.

The legislative committee of the
Maine State Board OF Trade at its ses-
sion Thursday at the Augusta House
passed a resolution. which is of con-
siderable significance in connection
with the agitation now going on in
connection with the formation of a
great power development company in
this State, which may transmit power
out of the State.
The resolution passed declares that
THE State Board of Trade Legislative
committee assembled at Augusta re-
afiirms the State Board Of Trades po-
sition OF opposition TO the transmission
of electric power out of the State. or
combinations within the State adverse
to Names general interests"
A great portion of the afternoon ses-
sion was devoted to this subject and
it is understood that many of the
members of the State Board of Trade
agree that the further development of
the natural resources of the State is
something greatly to be desired and
that it is not business to oppose any
| proposition until all the facts are prop
| crly before them. The Legislative COM
mittee. however. clings to the PROPOSE
ton. which it had previously advanced
| that the development of Maine ceases
when it becomes a power station.
GOOD roads was another matter taxi
| EN- up by the legislative committee and
ii was the concensus of opinion that
the present short pieces of good road"
in the State should be joined together
as soon as possible. The following
resolution was adopted:
The legislative committee of the
Maine Board of Trade hereby affirms
| its belief in the need of good roads in
the State of Maine and that the work
Of building such roads be developed
along definite lines as eXpeditiously as
possible and with the purpose of OBJ
tanning permanent results"
The advantages of Maine as a winter
resort were discussed and it was
pointed out that the hotels and resorts
which had tried the experiment of en-
tertaining throughout the year had
been successful. Steps will be taken in
the immediate future to advertise this
phase of Names attractions.

THE ERA OF CONSCIENCE"
Gov. Joseph Folk Delivers Interesting
Lecture at City Hall.

large and appreciative audience
assembled at City hail Thursday eve
ming to hear Gov. Joseph w. FOLK oi
Missouri in his famous lecture Ihe
Era of Conscience were much
pleasad. Gov Folk is a forceful ana
convincing speaker and held the inter
er. OF his audience throughout the eve
ming. He spoke in part as follows;
There has been great awakening
on the subject OF individual respon-
sibilty for the affairs of city, state
and nation within the last few years.
The public conscience has peefi
aroused against evils and things are
not tolerated now that few years
ago were submitted to in silence. VIII

GO on? win not the people soon for-
peto Have not the people already
Forgotten, and will not things be al
lowed to go in the same old way as
they were before the awakening of the
people? These questions are being
asked all over the country today
Reforms sometimes die, but revoiu-
tions never go backward, and revo-
luton has been wrought in the con-
science of men The awakening is
merely determination to nave tiie
government of city, state and nation
represent the public interest and not
special privilege. In the battle against
privilege some fights must be lost.
with each fight lost we should not
lose courage, but should fight all the
harder; with each fight won we shouid
not become apathetic and think al
has been won. If the issue could De
represented squarely between puphc
rights and special privilege every-
where, there would be no doubt as TO
the outcome. For the majority OF the
people here and everywhere will do
right when they know right. The rep
resentatives of privilege are too shrewd
to permit plain issue between public
rights and special privilege to go be-
fore the people. They adroitlv- man
age to complicate the main issue with
other questions so as to bewilder men
of even the best intentions. By con-
fusine the issue the representatives
of privilege divide the forces in OPP
position.

The Rodgers Evan
gelistic Meetings.

The text of DIR. Rogers Thursday eve
ming Was found in Luke ix:5', Il will
follow thee withersoeyer thou goest."
The subject selected was The Story of
a Hero
All the world is interested in a hero;
all the world loves q hero; all the
world. needs a hero. In fact. the hero
is a necessity. In my text the hero IS
namcless. God does not care very much
about Il name. God looks for ideals
purpose. courage--in word, character.
Come gather about this unknown nero.
Let us study the elements that make
him the splendid figure he is in the
story.
I. His life is marked by faith. He
met the Christ and instantly II is the
mark of hero that he believes some
thing. He has faith. tremendous falth
il. something Ones life power and
value is measured by our faith and the
object of our faith. This man had faith
in Jesus. This led him to build high and
broad apd deep and for eternity.
III. This mans life was marked by
courage. Courage, how wonderful! it Is
How it transforms a man of Q woman
HOW gTanQ one UtcoileS oilstile pai
tlefeld; how splendidIs our men OF
tine fire department and the police de-
partment behave in emergencies. But
If physical courage is grand. what
shall I say about moral courage? 1t Is
moral courage that leads in our great
reforms. 1t is moral courage that
stands for the right. when the public
and the gains and the popularity are
on the other side. So in following
Christ, at times it takes great courage
to follow the Master.
III. This mans life was marked by
decision. The men of influence. of pow
er in the world Of politics. Of finance.
of commerce, are the men who can
reach a decision in the face of risk and
danger. This man looked into the face
Of Jesus and said: 81 will follow Thee"
On decision depends our success. our
happiness and our final victory in life.
This mans life was marked by hut
mility. All great nep are simple and
humble. If tonight YOU will come to
Christ with faith and courage and de-
cision and humility YOU will find 4 well
come. You will find forgiveness. YOU
will find joy and peace and life eter-

poles because il hurts business. Sdci'
views are entirely false. NO city can
be injured hy the enforcement OF the
pAople's laws; to do otherwise is to
substitute the will of the official for

tyranny. No state can be hurt BY OPP

to connve at it. There is no secret
remedy known for evils of this char
acter They cannot be cured by hid
ing them. The disgrace is not in their
correction, but in submission In them
with supine indifference.
''rhe most conspicuous fault OF ma
tionai. state and municipal govern
ments in the United States today is
that they are governments by the feW
and not by the people. There has
been Improvement in the last few
years. out there remains much TO he
done in the direction of better things.
There is still too much aggressive
selfishness and avarice, and TOO little
aggressive patriotism. Ii the patriot
ism could be made as aggressive as
government everywhere would be
solved by the people taking the gov
ernment in their own hands. If cor
ruption is to be eradicated the people
alone can do it. What is needed is
more of the kind of patriotism that
fights for city, state and country every
day, the kind of patriotism that will
go into battles of peace as readily as
into battles of war.
''The welfare of the city or state
should always be the first and highest
consideration. Some of you may be-
long to this party-some may belong
to that party, but all should be patri-
OTIS. Be patriots before you are any
thing else. The people-the average
voter you ana I-are responsible for
the future of this government. If the
American republic is to survive 1t
must be saved by the efforts of the
patriotic citizens who want nothing
for themselves but the advantages that
accrle from the general public veal
If the public learn to appreciate tnis'
learn to know the dangers that threat
en- our futare. and learn the strength
that rests with the voters, the @1nture
Of thiss government is assured.
Much has been done for good gov
ernment during the past few years
But we should not be content with
what has been accomplished in the
fight against public evils. There is
plenty of work yet to be done, States.
like men, should never be satisfied.
but should ever strive for higher de-
yelopment. The man who is So self
satisfied las to pronounce himself un-
desiro,,s Of further improvement is
likely to be most in need of advance
ment.
"The future of this government rests
upon the integrity of the citizen and
upon his activity in public affairs.
Good government must begin at heme,
in cities and towns and proceed from
there to state and nation. This gov
ernment rests not on the wealth of a
few. but upon the character and in
