hurst, the militant suffragette leader,
was today with the consent of the
authorities removed from the house in
which she had been staying in London
to sanitarium at Woking, where she
will remain under the supervision of

taxicab conveying several Scotland
Yard detectives who were on duty to
prevent Mrs. Pankhurst attempting to
flee the country.
Bow street was crowded today when
a band of six militant suffragettes who
were arrested in the police raid on the
headquarters of the Women'S Social
and Political union on Wednesday,
were brought up before magistrate
on a charge of conspiracy under the
malicious damage act.
The prisoners included General Mrs.
Flora Drummond, Miss Harriet Ro-
berta Kerr, Miss Agnes Lake, Miss
Rachael Barrett, Miss Laura Lennox
and Mrs. Beatrice Saunders and Miss
Annie Kenney. With them were also
Clayton, the analytical chemist taken
into custody last night at Richmond

Some interesting documents seized
by the police were read by the prose-
cutting counsel. They were intended
to show Clayton's connection with the
militant movement One of them was
addressed to Miss Annie Kenney and
regretted the delay in supplying some
chemical preparation she asked for.
The exact proportions are very diff
f1cult,'' it said, adding, please burn
this
Another document bearing Clayton's
n wild
of false fire alarms and still another
gave a list of seven timber yards in
London which lend themselves par
ticularly well to attack
The chief Office of the national
health insurance commission at Buck
ingham gate also was suggested as a
good place to attack.
A plan of building was given with
details as to the entrances and win
dows and a suggestion was made as
to how IAN operator might throw in
a kindled parafine torch"
The Office of the health commission
at Queen Anne's gate also was indi-
Gated as vulnerable, the letter stating
''There is a tremendous store of pa
per and stationery there"

The Standard charges today that the
militant suffragetteS are conspiring to
convey Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst the
suffra gette leader. from England by
means of an aeroplane. Mrs. Pank-
hurst is on parole from Holloway Jail,
where she was sentenced to serve three
years. Several prominent airmen
have been approached in connection
with the attempt to take the militant
leader from the jurisdiction of the
British courts.
The Standard state that the mill
tants in the conspiracy audaciously in
vited that paper to cooperate in the
in return for exclusive in
formation to be furnished by the suf-
fragettes. The Standard adds that it
declines to participate in the criminal
conspiracy and imm ediately forwarded
a warning to Scotland Yard.
