SUFFRACETTES
SENT TO JAIL
Five, Who Attempted to
Reach King Yesterday,
Must Serve Time.

London. March 11.-A practical
Joker brought suffragettes into the
limelight today at the expense of a
number of trainmen. when the head
quarters of the militants was crowded
With trucks, bringing all manner of
merchandise. The truck drivers all
had orders written on the printed
forms of the Women's Social and Po-
litical union, and refused to leave un-
til the police threatened to arrest
them.
The five suffragettes. who yesterday
attempted to reach the king with Pc
titions. were today sent to prison for
periods ranging from twenty-one days
to a month. The magistrate, before
whom they were arraigned. gave them
an opportunity to escape prison sem
tences by filling sureties for good be-
havior. but the young women rejected
the alternative. They We're formally
charged with obstructing the police.
The accused argued that their ac-
ton was perfectly legal and based on
the rights of every British subject to
present petition to the king. The
magistrate declared the right to pre-
sent a petition must be exercised
through minister.
Two other suffragettes were sent to
prison for a month for breaking the
windows at the home Office. The wom-
en- stated that they adopted this meth.
cd of protesting against the illegal
arrest of the would-be petitioners.
