ANOTHER SUFFRAGE
RIOT IN HYDE PARK
Police Take Speakers to Jail
for Safety
TAR MARBLE STATUE
Believed FaringtOn Hall Set on Fire.
Women Bombard With Stones Home
of Parliament Member Who Re-
fused to Support Suffrage Bill

London, MAY 11.-Another suffrage riot
took place in Hyde Park this afternoon
The Mems League for Women's Suffrage
had been given permission to hold a meet
ing. Several prominent workers addressed
crowd of several thousands from a
truck but the crowd kept up running
fire of Interruptions, shouting, Go home
and make bombs" and remarks about
the burning of churches and the attempt
to blow up ST. Paurs.
After half hours endeavor to get a
hearing the league gave UP and the speak
ers were about to withdraw when the
crowd broke through the police ranks.
The wagon was over turned and partly
wrecked. The police had difficulty in pro-
tecting the speakers and eventually had
to escort them to the station for safety.
In the meantime a suffragette planted
flag on the Park Lane side of the
park, where fashionable people prone
made, and started speaking. Men destroyed
the flag and jostled the woman until the
police rescued her.
The Rev. Howard j. II. Truscott, vicar
of st. GATHERINGS at Hatcham, which was
destroyed by fire recently, held services
IN the public hall today and spoke at
length regarding the fire. He said:
There is no use to talk to me about
flashes of lightning or gas. Some per-
son did this with malicious intent"
He said that he had received hundreds
of letters, some of them from suffra-
gettes, who repudiated such dastardly
acts.
Another suffra gette outrage is report
ed from Preston, Lancashire. where a

Earl of Derby in Miller park has been

TRADE MAY CENTER
ON THE NEW CROP
Dry Conditions Place Cotton
i'm More or Less Critical
Condition

New Orleans, May 1.-THE cotton
trade this week will probably almost
wholly center on the new crop situ-
alton. The old crop did not attract
much attention last week and it prom
ises TO attract this week. Old crop
holdings are gradually being lioui-
dated and transferred to the new crop
months and from now on October and
December promise to. become more ac-
tive than July The new crop is III
a more or less critical condition be-
cause of the drouthy conditions in the
eastern belt and the continued low
night temperatures. Probably this lat
ter feature is of more Importance than
the first, although market writer's are
giving it less prominence.
If temperatures do not warm IN this
week and If rains do not fall in the
atiantlcs TINS week will be given d
decidedly advantage. Much replant ting
has been necessary some sections re-
porting even third replanting, and con
tinued unfavorable conditions will have
d tendency to increase the necessity
OF It. This may lead to some aban-
donment acreage and would mean a
late start for part of the crop which.
In some measure, would offset the
large area originally broken for cot
tor this year. Principally. it will be
a weather mark ct this week
The increased ports of late have been
surprising to nearly every one but
there have been few signs of good
forward business in the spot depart
ment How spinners are going to view
the new crop is a big question which
all traders are anxious to solve Any
signs that exporters are selling spin
ners cotton for fall and winter delivery
Will probably be the signal for bull
activity in futures this week while con-
tinIed holding off will encourage the
short side.

Claims Aggregate Seven Million


BY the special agreement of 1910, which
created the tribunal all claims to be heard
must be included in schedules to which
both governments consent. In this it
differs from the customary agreement as
to the arbitration of claims. which per-
mits any outstanding claim to be submit
ted to the arbitrators. In June, 1911, the
two governments agreed upon a first
schedule, containing some 800 claims But
in addition to those in the first schedule
there are large number of other claims
which each government desires to have
settled, so that negotiations are in prog
ress for a second schedule. If an agree
ment on this can be reached there will be
practically no outstanding claims between
the two governments and a constant
source of diplomatic discussion and an
