Responsibility for Suffra-
gette Violence

LONDON, Aug. Accused OF re-
sponsibility for suffragette violence,
c. f. Hodhouse was subjected to
strong pressure today to resign from
the cabinet. Witnesses at Gladys
Evans trial for attempting to burn
the Theatre Royal, Dublin, said Hod-
house declared in public address
that the suffragettes would accom-
plish nothing until they began burning
houses.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd
George and one or two others are urg-
ing their colleague to stick to his
portfolio, but Premier Asquith and a
majority Of the other ministers want
him to quit
The outcome Is uncertain. Hob
house holds the post OF Chancellor OF
the Duchy OF Lancaster. a nominal
position so far as its work is concern
ed, which, however, adds greatly TO
its holders importance in the Com
mons. II was given to Hobhouse for
his skill as a Liberal debater, statisti-
clan and publicist.
Mary Leigh's trial began today in
Dublin on charge OF throwing the
hatchet which narrowly missed

ORDINANCE WIPING OUT
EDDIE SCHRE|TER'S JOB
is ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY
Measure Takes Effect Sept. l.;
Duties of Office Trans
ferred to City Clerk
"HE CAN'T INJURE US"
Accused Aldermen Not Alarmed
at Prospect of Schreiter
"Squealing"
"HE CAN'T INJURE US"

The Office OF secretary OF council
committees. held by K. X. Sohreiter,
Jr., accused OF boodling, was abolish
ed by unanimous vote OF the council.
Tuesday night The Office Is wiped
out or existence Sept l. and the
duties are transferred TO the city
CLERKS Office. Another clerk will
probably be allowed by the council
for this work and the clerk will have
the same office, adjoining the council
committee room, now occupied by
Schrelter. The only change effected
by the council beside the getting rid
OF Schrelter is to make the city clerk
responsible for the Office.
ScLr6lter has a contract with the
city extending for two years, begin
ming July 1, this year, at a salary OF
81 500 a year. II Is the opinion OF
the corporation counsel's office that
this salary must be paid, whether or
not Schreiter does the work, unless
he be convicted on the graft charge.
Scbroiter did not attend the council
meeting, mis- work being done by
Marcus Lucia, his clerk. All the al
dermeu attended the meeting except
Gilman, Ostrowski McCarty, O'Brien
and Drozo. McCarty Is attending the
Bull Moose convention in Chicago,
while O'Brien is Ill.
Some opposition TO the ordinance
introduced by Aid. Lodge and approx.
ed by The committee on ordinances
was expected from friends OF Schreit
er. There was painful stiffness for
a moment after Aid. Allan, chairman
OF the committee. asked for the pas
sage OF the ordinance. No one arose
TO speGk and President Grindley then
suggested that the roll call be attach
ed. This saved a number of Schreit-
ers friends the embarrassment OF
voting TO GUST him from his job.
Are you afraid that SchreIter will
turn states evidence, now that the
council mas abolished his job?' was
asked each OF the accused aldermen
present
He can't injure us, was the gist
of their reply.
Aid Merritt, one OF the aldermen
after whose names sums were writ
ten by Schreiter when the latter Is
alleged to have prepared the Wabash
Doodle list" said
III Schrelter has anything OIL any
of the other aldermen let him tell It,
He hasn't got anything on me- so
why should | care what he says
Aid. Lynch, who was arrested tenn
porar.ly when the expose was made
by Detective Brennon said 1T makes
no difference to me whether SchIeiter
turns states evidence. don't care
what he says"
