ONE WOMAN THREW HATCHET
At GARAGE OF PREM|ER'S PARTY
Eight Women Have Been Taken into
Custody in Connection with Attempt
to Fire Theatre--One Identified as
Hatchet Thrower.

Dublin, July 19.-Eight English
women have been taken into custody
by the police in connection with the
outrages perpetrated here last night
on the arrival Of Mr.. Asquith by the
suffragettes. who have constantly
been dogging the heels of the British
premier since he left England.
The women are charged with COM
plicity in the attempt to burn down
the Dublin theatre where Premier AS
quith was scheduled to speak today. A
blazing chair was thrown into the or
chestra from a box occupied by two
women who then set fire to the box
curtains. Their act caused panic
among the audience.
They are also charged with completely
in the attempt to injure Mr.. Asquith
by throwing a hatchet at the pre-
mier's carriage as the party proceeded
from the wharf to the hotel.
Mrs. Mary Leigh, one of those ar
rested, suffragette who has given
the English authorities more trouble
than any other one probably in the ma
ton, was identified today as the throw
er of the hatchet.
The police found quantities of gun
powder and inflamable materials in
the rooms occupied by the suffragetts
arrested. The officials claim to have
evidence showing that the plans of
the militant women contemplated
serious outrages

woman yesterday morning went to the
Snowflake laundry on Fraser avenue,

told one Of the men at the laundry
that her husband was not supporting

worked all day and was on the way to

ROOSEVELT ON
LIVING ISSUE
Tells What He Stands For in
New Line of Political
Endeavor.

New York, July 19.-The republi-
can and the democratic national con-
ventions are discussed by Theodore
Roosevelt in editorial articles in the
current issue of the Outlook. In one
the writer answers charges that
steam roller" methods were used to
nominate him in 1904 and Mr.. Taft in
1908. There was no contest in the
convention over my nomination in
1904" he says. Every delegate was
for me. In 1908, when Mr.. Taft was
fairly nominated, there were no
"steam roller" methods as far as I
know. If anything dishonest was done
in the effort to nominate him it was
without my knowledge"
In the second article the colonel al
ludes to The respectable men who,
with discomfort, stood behind their
leaders in securing the triumph of
fraud and political theft at Chicago"
and scores the "other respectable men
who felt no discomfort In thus sup
porting rascality."
the steam roller work in this conven-
tion," said Mr.. Roosevelt in the first
editorial, had sought to excuse them
selves by saying that they were only
doing what had always been done, and
what was done for me at the time of
my nomination and what was done for
Mr.. Taft himself four years ago. AS
regards myself, the statement has not
the slightest foundation in fact. In
dent against the wish of the most
powerful politicians who then had
control of the republican party and
purely because of popular demand
too insistent to be denied. In 1904
the national committee contained a
majority of men who were hostile to
me, as in 1900, the leading politicians
of the party would liked to upset me.
never used the patronage, not to the
extent Of a single appointment, to Sc

to a single politician; / never sought
or used the aid of the machine; I
made my appeal direct to the people

cause the people believed in me and

Overwhelmingly for me that the ma
chine politicians abandoned all
thought of a contest against me before
the convention met"
Colonel Roosevelt goes into details
as to how, he says, steam roller meth
DDS were used to create a majority for
Mr.. Taft at the recent convention.
In contrasting the two conventions
Colonel Roosevelt writes:
There was one instructive differ
ence between the attitude of the re-
publican bosses at Chicago and the
democratic bosses at Baltimore. The
formerly greatly preferred certain
party defeat to my nomination.; the
latter were willing to accept any
nomination rather than face certain
party defeat. This difference in the
attitude of the bosses was due to the
far reaching difference between the
anti-boss movements in the two cases.
I'm the democratic primaries Mr..
Clark had carried more states than
Gov. Welson. He had a large major
fly in the popular vote. In but one or
two states had Gov. Wilson's cause
been triumphant in a square fight with
the bosses-indeed. there had hardly
been any fight made along these lines.
