.SUFFRACISTS MUST
THROW BRICKS
English SuffraGetts Tells WO-
men They Must ..url
Them Straight

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Calling upon
the suffragettes to practice throwing
stones that they might, like their Eng
lish sisters, hit every window-pane in
sight, Miss Elizabeth Freeman, Amer
lean English suffragette, said at a
meeting of suffragettes in the parish
house of the Church of the Ascension
that brick throwing most certainly
would be resorted to here if all other
tactics failed to bring about woman's
suffrage.
Her declaration of war with bricks
as weapons was met with cheers, not
only from the many suifragettes pres
ent, but from many men as well. AL
though Mrs. Jessica G. Finch, lawyer
and a suffragette leader. was the
speaker of the evening, having occu-
pied the pulpit in the Church of the
Ascension before the meeting in the
parish house Miss freeman easily
walked off with the hOnors, If one
might Judge from the rousing recep-
tion she received
Miss Freeman, who was an interest
ed listener at the discussion meeting
was asked by Mrs. Finch to reply to
question put by a young man sitting
well front in regard to brick throwing
The question was:
do you think it will be necessary
for the women in this country to adop
the tactics of the militant suifragette'
in England in order to gain theil
points?
Mrs. Finch said that a Miss Free
man, who had taken part in the Eng
lish suffragette riots, was present; sh'
would prefer that Miss Freeman an
swer the quetion Miss Freeman thei
came forward and in a clear and ring
ing voice said:
"The English suffragettes did no
adopt those methods until after the

tics. Then they resorted to throwin
stones, and with telling effect, toe
The English women hit the window
