London. May 1.-THE militant suf-
fragettes' campaign Of placing bombs
in public institutions to coerce the
government in granting the parliamen-
tary franchise to women was carr1ei
on in several quarters OF London and
the provinces today. A workman-like
canister of explosives with clock
work attachment was found in the
Rotherhithe public library in southeast
London. It was labeled Votes for
Women" According to belief in some
quarters 1t was placed there by aNnan.
Indeed, the police suspect that many
men have been engaged for this work
Another machine was found today in
a letter box Of the Wandsworth dis
trict postoffice in southwest London.
1t consisted Of glass tube. containing
a fluid, q partly burned fuse attached
TO one end. The police believe the
bomb was set there by militants.

day in Holy Trinity church at Hastings,

defeat has been inflicted on the
government by the wild women In
fhe matter of the suppression Of their
nawsnaner. "The Sunragette." Sir
Archibald Bodkin had announced that
the government would prosecute any,
one printing the newspaper in the fu-
ture. The labor press and some of
the newspapers which are the strongest
support Of the present cabinet protest
that this 10 an infringment Of the liber-
ty of the press.

ciallst member, James Kerr Hardy. Of

lication Of th1, paper but the sunras;
xettes declinea their offer with scorn.
&Anneuncespesst Misconstrusd.
Thereupon the home Office issued a
statement that Mr.. Bodkin's announce
ment had been misconstrued and that
any publisher could issue the publica-
ton as long as it contained no incite-
ment to crimes.
sydney Dreem. the former publisher.
has written to the home Office. that he
was compelled to promise that he will
hereafter directly or indirectly take no
part in printing the paper or any other
papers Of the Woman's Political Union
and he wants to know what steps he
shall take to relieve him of this un-
dertaking.
Labor Papsrs Accused.
The special interest taken by the
labor party In The Sunragette was
aroused because the labor papers fre-
uuently came into collision with the
government. This is the case in re-
gard to general conscription for the
army and in the event of this becom-
ing the policy Of the government the
labor papers propose to urge the Ia
borers Of the isles to resist 1t.
The suffragettes again complain that
the government discriminates against
them and the Ulster unionists. They
point out that Sir Edward Carson has
gone to Belfast to open the new hall
Of the Drilling Club there, the object
Of which is to resist home rule If 1t
should be established and they ask
why Sir Edward Is permitted to rouse
rebellion when they are imprisoned for
doing so.
This weeks number Of The Suffrag-
ette appeared today and was freely
circulated. It was printed by the firm
OF Edward Francis. The newspaper
says:
"Tho he has constantly deprecated
what he calls our methods, he under
took the work, believing that the free
dom of the press was in danger and
also gravely doubting the wisdom Of
those who seem bent on depriving the
suffragettes Of their legitimate forms
Of expression"
"Suffragstts" 10 Mildsr.
The general tone of the newspaper is
much mflder than 1t was before the
raid on the militant suffrage head
quarters and printing office.

suffragette OF jackson, Mich, was op-
Grated on today for appendicitis. which
