London, April 5.-The campaign OF
revenge for the long sentence impos-
ed upon Mrs, Emmellne Pankhurst,
which the suffragettes threatened. is
proceeding actively and seems likely
to spread.
Many outrages have been committed
during the last twenty-four hours.
These included the destruction Of the
grand stand Of the Ayr race track In
Scotland, where the principal Scottish
meetings are held. the damage being
estimated az $4,000. and an attempt
TO bura the new grandstand OF the
Kelso race course, also In Scotland.
The women were caught after they
had ignlted cil-soaked rags, which
they had placed beneath the Kelao
stand.
Many shop windows were smashed.
including those of the Labor ex-
change. telephone wires were cut at
Llantarnam In Monmouthshire; letter
boxes were damaged at Liverpool. the
flower boxes In the public park at
New Castle were torn up and letter
boxes were burned or damaged in
London.
The fact that Mrs. Emerson. Of
Jackson, Mich. has declared herself
satisfied with the concession made by
the British home secretary. Reginald
Mckenna. in taking ton days off the
prison sentence Of her daughter Miss
zelle Emerson has greatly displeased

Il blame the embassy for her
change of attitude. Mrs. Emerson IL

English person in a position superior
to that in which they move.
1T is not case Of an individual.
but case OF an American citizen;
and Mrs Emerson, whose attitude has
been hot and cold. should be disre-
sarded and the campaign continued.

for future treatment of American

president that he indorse a one
cent duty on sugar for three
years. with the proviso that SUI
gar be made duty free at the end
OF that period. if. in the presi-
dents opinion. at that time 1t
was advisable.
1t was pointed out to the
president that it would enable

was told that he would be able
to insist just as strongly upon
free sugar then. if he saw flt, as

Washington, April B. - President
Wilson tonight virtually on the eve
Of the conyenlng Of congress in extra.
session. was in command of the tariff
situation, determined to uphold the
tariff pledges Of the democratic plat
form adopted at Baltimore.
Important additions to the tariff
free list. as reported tonight. include:
raw wool, boots and shoes, hide leath
er, skins, meats, lard, salt, iron ore,
timber, agricultural implements, sew
ing machines, typewriters, printing
presses, road machinery. news print
paper, wood pulp, cotton bagging,
barbed wire and steel rails.
The president was reported to have
withstood renewed attacks upon the
free raw wool schedule, as embodied
in the bill to be introduced from the
ways and means committee Monday,
and delayed decision only ON the
sugar schedule, left open for senator's
and representatives. from Louisiana,
and beet sugar states, to agree to ac-
cept free sugar in three years.
SO firm is the presidents attitude
reported to be, an attitude backed by
the majority of his party in both
branches Of congress, that any effort
of legislators TO escape a caucus
pledge on the wool schedule would not
be tolerated. The president and party
leaders, having agreed upon free
wool, there viii be no trouble getting
il through the house. and the senate
leaders propose that there be no kick
ing over the traces when it reaches
q senate caucus.
The president, in talking today to
Senators Walsh and Meyers, Of Mon
tana, made plain his firm position on
the wool tariff, declaring that the
party could not afford to place any
tariff on raw wool.
Negotiations on the sugar schedule
continued throughout the day, no de-
cision having been reached at late
hour as TO the position to be taken
by the opponents Of free sugar.

ception of Austria Hungary and Ger

the belief of the police that Rear Ad-

Eaton for analysis. Until that report
