SUFFRAGE ISSUE
Government WithdraWs EIeC-
toraI Reform Bill to Evade
Grey Amendment.

LONDON. Jan. 27-The franchise
bill. providing for electoral reforms, was
withdrawn from parliament today by
the government because of the amend
ment proposed by Sir Edward Grey,
granting votes to women. Announce
ment that the bill had been Withdrawn
was made following a meeting of the
cabinet at which Premier Asquith pre-
sided.
1t was said that new bill eliminat-
ing the troublesome question of woman
suffrage would be introduced. a bill
granting suffrage to women may be in
PRODUCED simultaneously by one of the
supporters OF woman suffrage in the
house of commons
When the parliament convened the
necessary steps We're taken for the
withdrawal of the franchise bill from
consideration of the house as a COM
mittee of the whole
High Tension in Commons.
High tension accompanied the as
sembling of the commons. a bitter
fight was in store over the Grey amend
ment granting votes to women, which
was to have been voted on today. The
supporters of the suffragettes and the
antis were keyed up for a hot debate.
More than two thousand uni
formed policemen. detectives, secret
service agents and private bodyguards
today defended members of the cabinet
and protected government buildings
from assaults by the militant suffra-
gettes who have gathered here In great
numbers from all parts of the United
Kingdom for the biggest demonstrat ton
since the fight for votes for women be-
gan.
Detectives Fill Streets.
Inspector Mccarthy, Of Scotland
yard made elaborate plans for the pro-
lection Of Premier Asquith. Had Lon
don been filled with assassins, the pre-
cautions could not have been more
elaborate. One hundred mounted po-
licemen patrolled parliament square
keeping q wary watch for women with
hatchets. Downing street swarmed with
detectives.
I'VE feel that we have been tricked
by the government and we have lost
patience" said Mrs. Emmelne Pank-
hurst, leader of the violent squad. we
have given the government every OPP
portunity TO study the merit of our
plea, but they continually resort to sub
terfuge and refuse to meet US in the
open.
"Sir Edward Grey and David Lloyd
George, respectively foreign minister
and chancellor, have been converted to
our cause, but this gives us little en-
so long as the ruling mem-
bers of the cabinet continue to hood
wink u.s."

WORK OUT PLANS
OF UMBRELLA PARADE

Details for the parade on opening
day for the Delaware State Fair are
assuming shape. Market and King
street merchants are manifesting an
interest which is growing every day.

merchant on Market and King street

A number of suggestions have been
sent in as to how the parade should
be arranged. Il is admitted that the
umbrella lends itself to the effective
ness of a parade.
One considerable suggestion has
been that the paraders assemble at
Court House Square and march single

Market, to Court House Square again.

scheme is under consideration, but the
details have not yet been definitely de-
