rs Passengers, Including W. J.

Soon as Possible.

223 UNREPENTANT
SUFFRAGETTES IN COURT
Most Of Them Preferred to Go to Prison
Rather Than to Pay the Fines
Imposed by Court.

London, Nov. 22.-Two hundred and
twenty-three unrepentant suffragettes,
many of whom were apparently still in
their teens, appeared in police court to-
day to answer for their sins of yester
day and were sentenced to fines or al
tentative terms in prison, varying from
a fortnight to a month. The women in
variably chose prison.
From the evidence it was quite certain
that the suffragettes acted on COM
plete plan of campaign While stones
and other missiles were hurled, shouts
of 'Votes for women were raised. They
had threatened to force their way into
the House of Commons and make pro-
test on the floor of the House against
the prime minister's refusal to pledge
the government to a bill giving equal
suffrage to both sexes, but they failed
even to reach the entrance to Parlia-
ment
Thwarted by the police, who made 223
arrests, the suffragettes resorted to a
campaign of window smashing. Driven
from Parliament square by the police,
800 of whom were on duty, the women,
accompanied by sympathizers and gangs
OIL roWdles, proceeded through Wnltehall
armed with bags of stones concealed un-
der their coats, and broke the windows
in the public Offices, the Liberal head
quarters and the National Liberal club.
They even extended their operations to
the Strand, where windows of the post
office, bank and other private concerns
suffered from the onslaught.
The militant tactics of the suffragettes
followed statement by Premier AS
quith that the government was unable
to introduce bill to enfranchise women,
as the cabinet was divided on the ques-
ton, but would allow an amendment
to be introduced to the produced man
hood suffrage bill leaving it to the House
of Commons to decide whether women
should be given a vote.

BANQUET TO VISITOR.
A o. H. and Ladies' Auxiliaries Enter
tertained National Vice President.

Mrs. Mary Mccarthy of Westfeld,
Mass, national vice president Of the
Ladies' Auxiliary to the Ancient Order
OF Hibernians, made her first official visit
TO Barre last evening, when the ladies
of the local division united with the
members Of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians of this city, Hibernians and mem
bers of the ladies' auxiliaries of Mont
pelier and Graniteville to make the occa.
sion an auspicious one in the history OF
the combined orders in Barre. The ex-
ercises opened at o'clock with an elab-
crate banquet served in the Knights of
Columbus hall by the local auxiliary.
Rev. A. G. Griffin, curate Of st. Mon
ica's church, offered prayer and an excel
lent feast followed.
A short program of meritoriOus nut
steal numbers led up to the principal
feature Of the evening, the address by
Mrs. Mccarthy. Among those who par
tieipated in the musicale were Rev Fa-
ther Griffin, who gave a rendering Of
ave Maria," which called for an en-
thusiastic encore. Father Griffin was ac-
companied on the piano by Miss Beatrice
Callahan, James Riley playing a violin
obligato. Daniel McGovern of the
Montpelier division, A. o. H., made a
few remarks appropriate to the occa-
sion. Mr. MeGovern's remarks con-
cerned chiefly the work Of the state
organization. of which he is the vice
president. Other members of the COM
pany furnished piano solos during the
evening.
The address Of the visiting vice presi-
dent had to do largely with the impor-
tant mission which the Ancient Order Of
Hiberians, and more particularly the la
dies auxiliary, is performing among the
Irish people throughout the country.
She extolled the virtues Of exemplary
Irishmen in America as well as in 9th
er parts of the globe. In touching upon
the present healthy growth OF the auxil-
iary, the speaker placed special empha-
sis upon the necessity of first completing
the moral obligations for which the or
ganiZation stands before attempting to
perfect it's social duties in the commu-
nifty. Mrs. Mccarthy spoke for over
thirty minutes and during that time she
held the closest attention of her listen
ers. Her remarks were roundly applaud
ed at the close
The occasion of the first vice presi-
dents visit was brought to a delightful
ending by an impromptn dance, which
continued until near midnight. Riley's
orchestra furnished splendid music for
this feature. and more enjoyable finish
to the get ttogether meeting Of the Barre,
Graniteyille and Montpelier divisions
could not have been selected. Credit
for the notable success of the reception
TO Mrs. Mccarthy is largely due to the
efforts of the Barre Ladies Auxiliary,
the members of which united in working
increasingly to make the gathering as
representative as possible.
