HOT SUFFRAGETTE
AFFAIR IN COURT
Editor Of Chinese Paper and His
Women AssaiIants Before
Judge MOnsaTat.

The first really warm suffragette
affair that ever got into n local court
was staged before Judge Monsarrat in
two sessions yesterday when Editor
Chung Yau Hung appeared against the
hui of Chinese ladies whom he has
caused to be arrested for beating him
up. The courtroom was crowded with
Chinatown and businesses presided
over by pake genius almost shut down
for the day while this first fruit of
China IS awakening was held up to pub
lie gaze.
The only important witness WAS the
editor himself who was still on the
stand when the case went over until
tomorrow His testimony SUCCESSFULLY
made the court officials smile, laugh,
roar and then blush, the latter act
being forerunner of the criminal libel
suit which has been announced, when,
it is said, blushing will be the order
of the day.
The editor is tall lean man, who
was in an uncomfortable position and
knew it. The idea of being connected
with woman hui like this was most
repellent to a man who is just eighteen
months out of country where such a
thing was unheard of.
Editors Story.
He testified in a dignifed manner
first that he had been sitting in a
chair in his Office when a lot of suffra-
gettes-he did not use the term-rush-
| ed in and without further parley one
of them hit him over the head with
her umbrella, which broke. The UNI
brella was in evidence. He explained
| that this militant introduction was ia
intimidate him into writing an apology
for the "Monliey Club" series OF
| articles.
He said Mrs. Lum Zip told him that
if he did not write the apology he
would be killed. He did not exactly
relish this procedure but hesitated
nevertheless when, he continued, the
ladies seized him by the back of the
neck and other parts of his anatomy
and holding him over the table, beat
him until he wrote and signed the
apology which they dictated.
When they first rushed in, he said
there were two of his typesetters il
the room but they both ran out. II,
explained that he had not called fol
help because in China it was considered
ungentlemanly to call for help to de
fend oneself against women. He as
serted on the stand that he had alread,
printed a retraction previous to the al
legged assault and was ordered by r
w. Breckons, who cross-examined hin
on behalf of the suffragettes, to brinl
; this into court with him when next h
came
Other witnesses were Doctor Haid
who testified as to the editor Is bruise
and reporter on the Shinpo who say
part of the skirmish from a windoy
on the other side of the street.

Halifax, April 2-The Canadian Pacific

here tonight from Liverpool with near

meeting with the same fate as that Of
the White Star liner Titanic.
While crossing the Grand Banks in a
heavy fog, the steamer struck a giant
berg a glancing blow, which fortunately,
however, resulted in no injury to the
ship. The incident, however, caused in
tense excitement among the passengers,
many Of whom were on the decks at the
time. The only thing that saved the
ship was the fact that she was steaminE

TITANIC's BUILDER
WARNED SHIPS CREW
VESSEL WOULD SINK

The complete testimony taken by mem-
bers Of the Senate investigating COM
mittee, acting separately, from members
Of the Titanic's crew, was made public
yesterday. The narratives given by these
plain men of the sea in their simple
style add an interesting chapter TO the
history OF this great sea disaster. The
testimony OF members Of the crew has
been awaited by members Of the investi-
eating committee with greater interest
even than the testimony OF most Of the
surviving officers.
The facts brought out from the crew
sustain in every particular the impress
sion already created. that the officers.
crew, and men passengers on the Titanic
conducted themselves with bravery. To
a man. the members OF the crew testi-
fed that all women and children who
could be found were placed in the life
boats before any Of the men passengers
or crew attempted to obtain seats.
II was brought out from the testimony
OF these men that there had been abb
solutely no boat drill on the Titanic since
she left Southampton. The fact was es-
tablished. however. that an alarm was
spread systematically among the pas
sengers after the collision.

, Samuel S. Hemming. the Titanic's

the boatswain had told him a few min

she would sink.

Before midnight tonight the con-
v%ention, in all probability, will nave
named the next President. Only an
unforeseen contingency can delay the
nomination. There is every reason to
believe that the man named Will be
Speaker Champ Clark.
The platform upon which the can
didate will make his canvass will be
thoroughly progressive and every eie-
ment of the party is now persuaded
that a progressive platform is essen
tial to- success.
Every State has sent able states
men and all agree thai measures k
the direct election of United States
Senators, a direct nomination plank,
and a money plank in opposition to
the so-called "Aldrich plan will be
incorporated.
There was a general getting to-
gether'' of the delegates yesterday
with a view to making a nomination
that would suit everyone and getting
actively into the campaign .uat is 20
follow.
Speaker Clark, having a long lead
on the other candidates, has ruled a
strong favorite all day. Each of the
other candidates has a distinctive
and aggressive opposition.
A nomination on the first ballot is
not yet certain. Each of several
States has a favorite son for whom
to vote. Indiana will vote on the first
ballot for Governor Marshall. Four
Southern States will vote for Oscar
w. Underwood. New Jersey will SUD-
port Governor Wilson and a few
States carried by the Governor in the
primaries will join with thern, the
most important being Texas and
Pennsylvania.

delegation may pay Mayor Gaynor

poles and passed among tht spectators
and an organized cheer was begun.
The Champ Clark people did not in
tend to let the Wilson people get away
with all of the demonstration. They,
too, hoisted banners pro lami &
"Champ Clark, our next President
The Underwood people soon put up
their banners and joined in the de-
m~onstration.
What Isl the issue? the tariff; what
is the answer? Underwood This
was one of the banners flung out by
the Alabama delegation.
The New York delegation did not
follow the banner-raising.
The Missouri delegation was the
first to tear its standard from the
iron clamps. New Jersey followed,
and soon the two rival crowds were
parading through the aisles, a strug-
Cling, sweating, excited men.
1t was 1:56 when the demonstra-
ton for Wilson, which soon became
a tumble of conflicting demonstration,
started.
The New York Wilson banner was
carried on to the floor by a spectator
and pushed into the New York dele
cation. The New York delegates who
had thus far taken no part in the
demonstration bore down on the
standard-bearer and tore the banner
down. 1t was recovered and carried
to the New Jersey delegates, who
shielded 1t. Every delegate on the
floor except the stolid block in the
New York section was standing on
his chair watching the swirling crowd
in the aisles. As the big Clark banner
passed the New Jersey delegation the
bearers yelled: "Clark's always been
a Democrat"
The Jerseyites objected, but serious
trouble was averted as the Clark BAN
ner moved on.
Despite the orders of the police and
fire departments, several flashlights
were set off in the crowded and dis
orderly auditorium during the demon
stration.
Police attempted to clear the aisles.

graphs on a standard, was escorted
along in a parade of the speakers

A Wilson delegate produced a long
fishing rod with a portrait of the New
Jersey governor at the hook end and
waved 1t far above the heads of the
delegates.
