London. March 6.-Hard labor was
the portion meted out to'a score Of suf-
fraget leaders arrested for participa ting
in Monday nights tions.
when they were arraigned in the sew
eral police courts. The sentences var
led from one to two months, accord
ing to the nature Of the offense
charged.
Late last night Christabel Pankhurst,
daughter Of Mrs. Emmaline Pankhurst,
militant suffraget leader. was under
arrest.
Most Of the magistrates served no
tice on the women that hereafter all
sentences will include hard labor-a de-
parture This is likely to cause rictous
scenes within the prisons, as the
women declare they will not work.
Victoria Simmons and Lillian Ball.

Imprisonment. They dramatically faced
the magistrate and warned him that
their sentences simply meant further
and more severe demonstrations.
The city looks as if it were in a
state Of siege. Nearly every big shop
window is boarded up. The banks
maintain special guards to keep the
women away. The entire metropoli-
tan police is on almost continual duty.
The Times demands that all the
leaders of the suffra gets be prosecuted
on charges Of conspiracy to break the
law, This Is felony, punishable by
sentences up to seven years.
The government hesitates to act thus
tho the demand is Joined In
by those whose property has been de-
stroyed.

Conductor Ford, Shot While on Duty,
Suceumbs to Wounds.
Des Moines, March 6.-Despite the
thirty-six hour investigation, the local
police early today had been unable to
solve the mystery surrounding the
shooting Of Street CarA Conductor
Frank Ford Monday night. Ford died
this morning without regaining con-
sciousness. No trace Of the two men
who did the shooting was discovered.
The robbery theory appears to be
losing ground.
The police today arrested William
Jeffries, in connection with the killing
of Conductor FORD, OF the street car
line. He pawned two revolvers yester-
day. which he asserts he found tied mp
in a sack. The police believe he knows
nothing of the crime. but may give
some clue.

that Rabeneau should have life SEN
tence, but argued many hours over the
fate Of Channel and Stacey. The for
mer because Of his youth and the latter
because OF his penitent attitude and
previous good record had each found
sympathizers in the jury The first
ballot on Stacey stood 8 to 4, in favor
of a life sentence.
Several ballots failed to change this
decision. so the jury passed on to
Channel. Then it was found that
some were r. favor of giving Channel
light sentence, while others thought
he deserved life. The argument re-
turned to Stacey. For two hours the
vote remained unchanged. It was then
decided to compromise and give the
same sentence to both.
Fred Bonehanl. the fourth member
of the gang. pleaded guilty and was
not tried with the others. 1t is un-
derstood his sentence will be lighter
than the terms Of Stacey and Chan
nell.
History Of the Crime.
The gang started out on the night
of Dec. 2 in stolen automobile to
hold up somebody. They came upon
Mr.. and Mrs. Kaufman as they were
about to enter their residence at 665
Roscoe street shortly before midnight
Mrs. Kaufman screamed when she was
ordered to hold up her hands and Ra.
beneau shot her.
The four escaped in the machine. and
later all but Channel left town. He
gave the police their first clew by talk
ing to his friends. Boneham was
caught in down state village. Fin.
ally Rabeneau and Stacey gave them
selves up in Los Angeles, Cal. when
nearly starved.
All four admitted their parts in the
crime. but Channell, Stacey. and Ra-
beneau plead not guilty to the indict-
ment for murder on the ground that
the shooting was an accident which
happened when they were drunk.
