London, Dec. 13.-1he sutfragette;
today were bitterly caustic in their
comments on the sentencing OF MISS
Elsie Howey to two months in PRISON
for turning in false alarm. They
called attention to the fact that Miss
Howey got the maximum punishment
while notoriuos white slavers recently
| hsd been let off with light sentences.
Miss Christabel Pankhurst, daughter
of Mrs. Enlmaline Pankhurst the SUI
fragette leader referred to the Howey
incident in today's issue Of The Suifra-
gette saying:
"There is a symbolic fitness about
the enw scheme, the ringing OF FIRE
alarms. 1t is arousing the pubic, lite
rally, which is just what we want 10
do. The sacrifice of hundreds OF
women and girls every year to the
white slave traffic; in the sweat shops,
and in kindred evils is the basic cause
of our agitation. We want the vote to
remedy these conditions. The present
scheme of political economy is respon-
sible for the subiection of women.
Contrast the imposition Of the max
imum on Elsie Howey for false fire
alarm, with the recent sentence OF -
days Imprisonment imposed on man
lin Aberdeen for assaulting an eight
year old girl"

Ter, at 4 Place de POpera. The jew
.ler took over the premises of the

he wall between the two buildings is
partly down.
The inquiries made by the poice
!ead them to believe that the thief
spent the night in the premises which
recently belonged to the Societe Oeh-
erale.
His opportunity came when, at
o'clock in the morning, the watchmar
went outside the jewelers. shop to
wind up the iron shutter. Then the
thief must have slipped into the shop
through the hole in the wal! and rltiod
the many cases of jewelry standing
ready to his hand.
Whether thi: theory be true or nor,
there is no doubt that the thief got
clear away with many valuable rings

sultation.
