Suffragettes Busy

indianapolis, Ind, october 1S.-The
Womans Franchise league of Indiana, al
meeting here this afternoon, passed a
resolution protesting against the govern
ment's action In refusing to allow Mrs
Emmeline Pankhurst the English militant
suffragist leader. to enter the United
States. A copy of the protest was tele-
graphed to President Wilson. 1t de-
clares that Whatever Mrs. Pankhurst
may be to the English government, she
is manifestly a political offender and
should be admitted to this country rs
male offenders have been admitted at all
times. To exclude her will be an example
of sex discrimination against which the
suffrage movement is living protest in
all countries

Record Received

| Washington, October lS.--Commissioner
| General of immigration Caminetti to-
night received the papers in the record
of the hearing today of Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhlrst by the board of special inquiry
| at Ellis Island.
| Tomorrow the commissioner and Act
| ing Secretary of Labor Post will take
/ up the record for consideration. but the
F, commissioner said tonight he had no in
| tention of holding formal hearing of
| the case Sunday.
..Such a proceeding would involve the
holding open not only of the bureau of
| immigration, but also of the immigration
| station at Ellis Isano, and would be
| quite Unprecedented he said. 1T ap-
| pears scarcely likely that final decision
| of the case will be announced before
| Monday. Then it will be determined by
| Commissioner Caminetti and Acting Sec
retary Post whether Mrs Pankhurst shall
/ be permitted to land in the United States.
or, as the Ellis island board decreed,
shall be deported to france, whence she
came for her acts committed for the,
| cause in England.
| Protests and appeals on both sides of
| the u celebrated case, couched in terms
ranging from legal to extravagantly SEN
timental, continued late today to pour in
| on the immigration bureau and began
! to reach the White House. Those ad-
| dressed to President Wilson were re-
House officials pointed out the section
| of the law which vests the Secretary
of Labor with final authority in deporta-
1 ton cases.
Attorneys Engaged
| Suffragists at headquarters of the Ma
tional Association of Woman Suffrage,
aroused at Mrs. Pankhurst's detention,
engaged two attorneys to act with those
coming from New York, to plead for the
| British leader. One of the local law
yers Is Miss Emma G.. Gillette suf-
fragist and dean of a local law college,
| Commissioner Gaminetti, while taking
| pains to make clear that Mrs. Pank-
hurst's case was being treated exactly as
| that of any other immigrant, pointed out
that she was in Ill health and that con-
| sideration due to woman in such condi-
| tion would be accorded her.
| Commissioner Caminetti will go over the
records tomorrow, consider her answers
to questions propounded by the immigra-
| tion inspectors, and the special board at
whether any crime Mrs Pankhurst ad-
mits having committed or for which she
has been convicted Involves moral turpi-
tude." His opinion will go to Acting Sec
| rotary Post, who, In the absence of Sec
retary Wilson, may sustain or revise the
immigration commissioner.
| II the deportation order of the Ellis
Island board is sustained, Mrs. Pank
| hurst may be placed aboard the first ship
sailing for France, to the port from which
she sailed. Such an order might be
stayed BY habeas corpus proceedings in

Police Venture No Opinion

Is there 10 be Birmingham end to
the Mary Phagan murder case?
The police do not know. They do
not venture an opinion. They simply
can say that a man. without warning,
entered headquarters and told a story
which. If true. extends to Leo Frank,
condemned to die. an opportunity to
hope.
Should White tell in Atlanta the
story he told in birmingham another
chapter to the Frank case is certain
to be written. Investigation WILL of
course. be made and IL there seems
reason to believe that which the man
has confessed. it is certain that an ar
rest will follow.
Certain prominent people of Bir-
mingham learned of the confession yes
terday and interested themselves to q
certain extent, in specializing on the
circumstances. 1t is understood that
they agree with the chief that the mat :
er is for Atlanta and not Birmingham
and that Atlanta is entitled to what
