SUFFS PUT UNDER
 BAN IN HARTFORD.
Militant Women in Wagon, Ordered to Station, Takes
 Their Own Time

r Hartford, Aug. 2O.-The career of three suffragists, two Of the English militant variety, was rudely interrupt ed on Capitol avenue, near the Under wood Typewriter factory, yesterday afternoon, when Policeman John P. Flynn stopped a wagon containing the campaignersy and ordered them to drive to police headquarters at once, where he told them to secure pernis- sion from Chief Farrell before being permitted to carry on their advertising on the streets of Hartford.
 Flynn preceded the caravan to head quarters, where he remained a half hour awaiting the arrival of the suf- ragists. The women failed to appear and Patrolman Flynn was ordered back on his beat by Chief Farrell who said he would dispose of the case him self.
 The three women in the wagon stop ped by Flynn were Miss Elizabeth Freeman of New York, and Miss Elsie Mckenzie and Miss Vera Wentworth, both of England, and, according to militant sufragists of the deepest hue"
 The party left New York, August G. bound for all the principal cities of New EngIahda After touring this part of the country it is their announced

 Their vehicle is a wagon Of roorny in terior containing small reed or gan, which is constantly played while being drawn through the streets. Suf- fragist banners are displayed and streamers are given away to all who will take them.
 Chief Farrell said that the women will not be permitted and cannot be allowed by the city ordinance to ride in the wagon through the streets.

MANY THOUSANDS HAVE
 VESTED CONVICT SHIP

Though many thousands of Bridge "porters have inspected the convict ship Success during it's two weeks at the Lover bridge. Stratford avenue, the daily attendance aboard the historic hulk is increasing, and interest in it's thrilling exposure of the horrors of the British penal system of half a century ago is increasing. When the visitor reflects that the system of prison cru cities as exploited by the Success was in vogue so recently that there still live many men and women who were incarcerated aboard the vessel the significance of the peison reform waves that have swept the civilized world of late years becomes apparent.
 In the course of the exhibition of the Success, at Providence, last year, there came aboard a man, bent and feeble, who had spent several wears on the prison ship. Presented to Captain D. 1T. Smith, the commander, he smiling ly Said that the present captain was not much like the. tyrranolis captain that ruled with an iron hand when hO was numbered among the unfortunates who found their homes in the hold of the vessel.
 In New York city, too, there was numbered among the thousands of wis itors, a man vino had served time on the Success.
 The Success is open for inspection from 10 a. m. to 10 p. n.
