Little Likelihood of Trouble in
This Country.

London, May GA militant suffra-

police in the act of placing a bomb at
the entrance of the Grand hotel, which
is crowded with American tourists,
was brought up to Bow street police
court later in the day and remanded
by the magistrate for further inquiries.
She gave the name of Ada Ward.
The bomb was in the form of a tin
canister to which was attached light
ed fuse. A placard bearing the words
votes for women" was wrapped
around it.
The Grand hotel is situated on
trafalgar square.

st. GATHERINGS, the parish church
of Hatcham. in the southeast of Lon

and outrage placed to the account of
militant suffragettes. The edifice was
well alight before the fire was discov-

PENDANTS told the magistrate.
No War Methods Here.
There is little likelihood that Ameri-
can Sufra getteS will adops the militant
methods which Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont
proposes to introduce on her return to
New YORK. This was the opinion Civ
en- by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, pres
ident of the International League of
Woman Suffragists at the reception
in her honor under the auspices of the
Woman's Freedom League.
Mrs. Gait said she had been asked
since her arrival in London whether
American suffragettes were going to
undertake a militant campaign. The
situation in the United States, she said,
was different from that in this coun-
try and she did not see how American
suffragettes could adopt militancy un-
less they were prepared to make war
on the majority of American men,
which was unlikely.
Your movement" she added, ere

evolution; yours is picturesque and
very tragic, ours commonplace but

entrance to the Standard newspaper
offices Monday and ran amuck through

The Standard asserts that the

'Asthon-Cross, last week, was the work
of militant suffragettes. The dog died
soon after winning the championship
at the Southampton show.

Lisbon, May 6.-The Portuguese
government has dispatched all the po-
litical prisoners arrested for COM

The Portuguese premier was ques-

the provisions of the law giving the
government the right to choose any
place for the trial of~political pris-

ASK FOR RELIEF
Philippine Commission Criti-
cises Government.
Asks for Discharge of Governor
General and All.

Washington, May 6.-"The conduct
off Secretary Worcester is a new evil
dence that prompt action should be
taken to relieve every one of the mem
bers of the Philippines commission
from the governor general down. -
wrote Manuel Quezon, resident COM
mission of the Philippines in a protest
filed today with Secretary Garrison
against Mr.. Worcester'S statement that
slavery exists in the islands. Resident
Commissioner Earnshaw of the Phil
ippines, joined in the statement. Mr..
Quezon's letter says that if slavery eX-
lists in the Philippines, the Philippine
commission alone is responsible for
the lack of proper legislation TO pun
ish this inhuman, savage crime" and
adds:
Not until recently has this ques-
ton of slavery been brought up and
it is for the purpose of representing to
the American people that the Philip
pine assembly as representing the ca
pacity of the FilipinOS for self govern
ment is a failure. Governor Forbes
also gave out a statement similar to
Mr.. Worcester. Whether as a matter
of policy, the present incumbents of
the commission should be relieved,
Secretary Worcester certainly has done
enough not only in this case but in
previous ones to merit the loss of
privilege of being one of the admin
istration and legislators of people
whom he finds pleasure in slandering."

STEAL S1OO BILLS
Express Package Containing
$4,000 Lost En- Route.
Special Agents All Over COun-
try Are in Search.

Oakland, Cal. May ct became
known here today that theft of one
hundred and forty-three 500 bills, in
an express package sent from Wash
ington, D. c., to the Central National
bank of this city, is stirring up special
agents clear across the continent.
When the package reached the bank
here few days ago, the wrapping was
found to contain merely clipped maga-
zine pages of the same size and weight
as bank notes.
Government officials of the national
bank redemption office in Washing
ton have notified the bank that the
package was properly sealed and
stamped before being turned over to
the United States Express company.
Officials of the express company
have assured the bank that the pack
age could not have been tampered with
before reaching Denver and the rep
resentative of the Wells Fargo COM
pany, which is said to have relayed
the package from Denver, has given a
similar assurance to the bank.
Somewhere a counterfeit govern
ment seal was used, and the wax i'm
preston on the package of valueless
paper that reached the bank has been
pronounced a perfect government seal

part of the profit of the so-called Beef

all other great business organizations is
made up from the utilization of materials
that only few years ago were waste pro-
ducts 1t is claimed that more than one
thlrd of the food value of the corn crop
IS in the stalk and blades of the plant
and that fed in the field in the customary
way not more than 10 per cent of the food
value of the corn crop is secured as the
thick part of the stalk is rich in fatten-
ing properties and that part is not con-
sumed and a goodly proportion of the
blades are blown away and wasted.
THE average annual value of the corn
crop for the past five years is more than
one billion, five hundred million dollars.
The feeding value of the stalk and blades
would be, therefore, at least five hundred
million dollars and if we utilize only 10
per cent the loss per annum upon this
crop alone is more than four hundred
millions of dollars. Is there any other
business that could stand this amount of
waste and escape bankruptcy? 1t is estt-

LOSS TO AMERICANS.
Manufacturers Lose Millions in Bra
lillian Customs Troubles.

Washington, May 6.-American manu-
facturers probably have lost a flour trade
amounting to $3,00o,000 a year well as
lucrative business in cement, typewriters,
ma chinery and other products as result
of the Brazilian governments resentment
at the breaking of the Brazilian coffee
valorization scheme by the department of
justice.
After several conferences with state de-
partment officials, Brazilian Ambassador
Da Cana let it be known today that his
country would decline in the future to ex-
tend the 30 per cent differential in custom
dues which until April 9, was allowed on
these American products
without the differential. 1t is said, the
American producers will be unable to
compete with those in Argentina and
the Argentine mi1lers are expected to
control the Brazilian flour market.
There has been no commercial treaty
between the United States and Brazil for
mauy years.
