LONDON, Feb s. Scotland Yard
detectives today were busier on the

stroyed thousands of dollars worth OF

Gardens, they overstepped themselves
and should the crime be fastened upon

IL far more severe than two weeks in
jail or a $40 fine.
Kew Gardens, attached to Kew pal
acc, contain the most famous hortic'll-

all the world. Shaw's Garden in st.
Louis is possibly the only institution
approaching in its collection the rarity
Of that of Kew Gardens. Plants to be
found only in certain far corners OF

| Of the rarest OF these the suffragettes
destroyed early today.
Before dawn the nilitants invaded
the palace and broke out thirty win
| dows In two orchid houses, They tore
| oil dozens of rare blossoms and then
,roceeded to mutiliate more than one
hundred OF the rare plants. They
broke stalks, hacked on fronds and
otherwise damaged the plants beyond
restoration.
The women escaped before the van
dalism was discovered by keepers, but
They left behind them many placards
inscribed votes for women ane
scrawled the legend on doors ant

The curator said that the materia
damage amounted to $4,000 and b,
said that the loss OF the rare plant,
