LONDON March 1O.-King George and
Queen Mary were the targets for the sui.
fragette attack today. Vague threats
had been current for several days in con-
neetion with the suffragettes' plans fol
the ceremony of the opening of parlia.
ment All their attempts at interference
were brought to naught, however, by thu
extraordinary police precautions.
While the king and queen were on
their way to Westminster five women
attempted to approach his majesty in
historic whitehall They carried petit
tons setting forth the grievances of the
women. The police promptly arrested
the five and imprisoned them, although II
looked for a time as il the crowd would
overwhelm the police and administer pun
ishment inssummary fashion. 49,
Mob Threatens Women.
There was a notable demonstration OF
hostility against the suffragettes by the
vast throng gathered to see the royal
procession. The five women required the
protection of q hundred policemen to
keep back The mob, which was exasperat-
ed by the recent outrages of the miiitants.
Two other suffragettes were arrested in

Speaking in music hall later in the
day. Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst referred
to the women's attempts to present Pc
titions to the king. She said:
"This perfectly constitutional action
by the women has been called an insult
TO the king. An attempt IL being made
by, interested politicians to- draw the
king and queen into the quarrel the
women have with the government.
We as women. wish entirely to dis
associate the quarrel from the mofarchy
and the petition had for its sole object
calling the attention OF parliament and
the public to the seriousness OF the sit
