Dublin, July 19.-Eight English wo-
men have been arrested because of
outrages perpetrated here last night
on the arrival of Mr. Asquith by suf-

a leader in the violent tactics adopted
by the militant suffragettes. AS far
back as July, 1905 she was arrested
for breaking windows in a suffra-

the log. She thought It was strange
that Debby did not come, but she felt
sure that she would hear her in just a
minute. After what seemed a long
time she heard soft footballs, not like
Debby's loud. quick ones, but slow and
cautious, and her heart gave a great
jump. Who could it be7 She instant
ly thought Of bears or soldiers or In
dians-oh, why had she ever wanted
to come to the woods?
She crouched lower still, but by rails
ing her head a very little and peering
through the hazel leaves and twigs, she
could look across the edge of the log.
Two men were coming toward her.
One was a redcoat, for though he had
on a long dark cloak, 1t opened little
in front and Huldah could catch a
glimpse Of scarlet. The other man was
an Indian, moving like a shadow by his
side; they were speaking in whispers,
and slipping from tree to tree, so they
could not be seen from the fields Just
beyond the woods.
They came right up to the great log
and sat down upon it. so close that by
putting out her hand the little girl
could easily have touched either one Of
them. She never moved, but lay trem-
bling silently, fearing lest the Indian
with his quick ears might hear her
heart beat. Oh, how frightened she
was! What If they did find her? Would
she be scalped or carried of into Can
ada?
Presently, she began to notice what
the men were saying. The Indian was
pointing out the houses Of the settle
ment, and showing the position Of the
little bIockhouse. He spoke brokenly,
but Huldah could understand almost
all he said, and the redcoat talked to
him just as though he were English.
They planned how they would come in
the night and burn the houses and
take the men and women prisoners,
and then how they would destroy the
little blockhouse, so that 1t could never
be used again; and Huldah heard every
word.
She wanted to scream-to jump up
and run and tell somebody; but, in
stead, she lay there with her hands
cIenched so that her nails cut into the
flesh, and pushed her face farther and
farther down into the earth. for fear

1t seemed hours before she heard the
men rise from the log and steal softly
away, and even then she dared not
move for fear they might turn back
again. She crouched till she felt 80

c. c. WILSON IN
CUSTODY OF COURT
Federal Prisoner Is Being Used az q
Witness and, Although Exact
Whereabouts 10 Not Known, Off
GERS Say He Is Safe.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, July 1s.-Christopher
Columbus Wilson, of wireless corpora
ton fame, under a three year sentence
in the Atlanta penitentiary, is having
a bit of freedom which has led to the
report that instead of being in jail ne
is at large.
Department of justice officials say
that some time ago the United States
court for the Southern district of New
York issued a writ of habeas corpus
requiring the warden of the Atlanta
penitentiary to produce Wilson as a
witness in a case then pending in the
court.
Wilson was taken to New York in
custody of a guard. Wilson himself
is in the custody Of the court, which
is responsible for his return Ito his
cell.
The exact whereabouts of the
prisoner is not known, but government
officials say he is in safe keeping and
will be returned to Atlanta when the
court in New York gets through with
him.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 19.-When
Rosie Simon, Of 430 Moore street, re-
ceived a letter from her fiance, Ben
jamin Captain, of 538 North Third
street, telling her he was mot good
enough" to marry her, she refused to
believe it. AS Captain persisted in his
declaration, and made it plain to Miss
Simon that he would not marry her,
he is now defendant in a suit for
$4,000 for breach of promise of mar
riage.
Action in the courts was begun yes
terday. Among papers filed in the suit
is the letter written by Caplan to Miss
Simon, in which he broke the engage
ment. In part, it is as follows:
Il am not as good as I pretended.
You are too good for me. You might
ask me why did not say so long ago,
50 the answer is, I did. But your big
eyes filled up with tears and I could
not bring myself to tell you again and
explain, for long while.
DO you remember when we were
sitting in Tasker street park, and I
said that I wished I had not started

MISS Simon and Caplan met July 25,
1909, on a moonlight excursion on the
Delaware river. They became engaged
a year later and the engagement was
formally announced at a bethrothal
party held on March u, 1911. 1t was

TETS is a story my Great Aunt
Mehitable told us; and the baby
who slept In the box was our very
own little grandmother It hap
pened that IN the summer OF 17T7 the
British army and the Indians who
were helping them were not far from
the place in New York State where
Huldah. lived; but in spite Of this she
wanted to play hide and seek.
Her father, who was a soldier, was
at home on a short furlough, and was
hurrying to get in his crop of wheat.
Her mother was at work at the large
loom, so large that it could not be set
up in the house, but was kept in the
big, clean wagon barn. She was max
ing a great web OF homespun for
clothes for the soldiers. The baby was
asleep IN one corner Of the room in
nice little box. on a pillow.
HuIdah had washed the dinner dishes
and put them away, and done her stent
of sewing on her sampler. So she ran
down to the barn and said to her
mother: May I go and get Debby,
and go just to the edge Of the woods
and play? You know father said it
was safe around here just now"
Her mother stopped work and looked
out Of the window; the woods were
near by, and Huldah's father was
working right within call. So she
slowly said:
'"weIl. daughter. you may go. but
promise me you will keep close to the
very edge Of the trees; you know an
Indian might come along and perhaps
steal you and carry you OF to Canada;
so be very careful
Iuldah promised, and ran joyfully
down the road to Debby's house. AS
she ran, she looked down toward the
little bloclzhouse and thought of the
number of times she had slept there
when some alarm OF Indians had come
and how cramped and uncomfortable

NOT A GOOD MODEL.

The estate Athletic Commission,
which administers the Frawley prize
fight law, announces that it is such an
admirable statute that citizens OF other
states are deluging the offices OF the
commission with inquiries about It,
preparatory to making it a model for
legislation in their commonWealths
ANY state that thinks of having law
similar to this enacted should hear
both sides Of the story before 1t goes
ahead on the theory that New York Is
satisfied. It should know that the Gov
ernOr who signed the law recommended
its repeal fin vigorous terms when ne
saw the conditions it produced The
Commissioner best known In the ANA
teur athletic world resigned early In
the laws career because Of scandalous
prlzetights and a disgraceful snarl IN
which the commission and fight club
were entangled. The commission at the
present time is raising the level Of anna
teur sport and encouraging lovers OF
their opponents ears. but otherwise
even prizefighting is so uninterestinG
that its followers are venting daily pro-
tests about ''punks' and fakes"
New York state has often set the
pace in legislation. Its public service
commissions law was the inspiration
and the model for the New Jersey law.
while the California law embodied
much Of the text of our statute. New
York's insurance reform legislation
was widely copied. Its good roads
measures have been studied. Even its
example in aboliShing-or seeking to
abolish-profcsSion racetrack gam
bling was followed by other states.
New York has been proud Of this rec
ord. even though these laws have not
met universal approval here. the
state is not proud Of the prizelisht law
and no state with wholesome sclf-rc-
spect will adopt that measure.
