Meeting of Constitutional
lists Th0wn Into Disorder
by the Militants
BLOW UP ASQUITH,"
SAYS MRS. PANKHURST
Lansbury Makes Threatening Speech
Before Mems Federation League.
May Take Up Arms Against
Riotous Suffragettes

London. March H. Shouts of "why
don't you blow up Premier Asquith p
and shoot himl' were heard in Lon
don music hall today during an ad-
dress by Mrs Pankhurst to company
CT suffiagettes. Sne had declared her
daughter, Sylvia. "was trying to re-
lease herself as prisoner of war from
the enemy and was enduring all the
tortures of Imprisonment in solitary
confinement
The militants now have declared war
against the sisters who are working
for the vote for women by constitu-
tional means.
A meeting of the constitutionalists
which Philip Snowden, socialist mem
Der of parliament for Blackburn was
addressing at Gateshead tonight was
thrown into disorder by militants who
insisted upon interrupting Mr.. Snow
den. Quiet was not restored until the
stewards. male and female, elected the
more warlike supporters of the suf-
frage movement.
The order for the forcible removal of
the disturbing element was given by
the chairwoman and was accomplished
only after vigorous resistance on the
part of the militants.
Mr.. Snowden said no government
would be able to deal comprehensively
with franchise reform unless prepared
Simultaneously to concede the franchise
to women.
Makes Threatening Speech
George Lansbury. former socialist
member of the house of commons for
the Bow and Bromley division of Tower
hamlets who resigned his seat in par
lament as a protest against the re-
fusal of the government to give the
vote to women and was defeated for
recollection last November, made a
threatening speech before the Mems
Federation for Woman's Suffrage to-
night. He said If public opinion did
not compel the government to use the
police to preserve order at public meet
ings, there was only one thing to do
and that was for the men to arm them
selves and preserve order.
Mr.. Lansbury also attacked the labor
party for not forcing the government
as it could do, to give women the vote.
The laborites, he said, were tricking,
betraying and fooling the women.
The Actresses Franchise league has
protested against the recent canvass
by theatrical journal on the question
favor of woman suffrage, 326 against 1t
and $40 indifferent.
1t is pointed out in the protest that
the league has only 750 members and
that therefore the negative replies
probably were received from actresses
of the musical comedy and variety
stage.

Interesting Golf Notes
From the Local Clubs

Members of the Bannockburn Golf Club
are walking on air" these days. having
just consummated the deal whereby the
property for a new course. near Cabin
John bridge. becomes theirs. This Is a
tract of 10 acres, located within sight
of the bridge and just four miles west of
Chevy Chase Circle. Its location is con-
sidered ideal, as it can be reached in
forty-five minutes from downtown on
the cars. or over fine macadamized roads
by automobile via the Brookeville pike
and thence over the new state road to
Cabin John bridge.
The club has had five-year lease on
this property with the option of buying
1t at the expiration of this term, but BY
hard work 1t has been able to exercise
It's option now, at the end of the third
year, and plans are being made to move
over next season. When the property
was first taken over, it was practically
all woods. but work for the three years
has accomplished wonders and nine holes
are now in good shape and a layout for
the additional nine has been made.
Work on the clubhouse will probably
be started this fall this to be situated
on high hill about 100 yards from the
car tracks and to be surrounded by ten
mis- courts and putting course.
The new course, as planned, will have
many advantages, probably one OF the
best being that in addition to the eight
eentn, the ninth and twelfth holes are at
the clubhouse, SO that il players want to
play a shorter game they need not end up
several miles from the house The course
has many natural ards, some difficult
but not too difficu. be called an un-
fair test. One of oest features from
the green cOmmitte. standpoint Is the
water running on the course. In addi-
ton to four natural springs located al
various points, there is sufficient water
to keep the course green. A small en-
gine will be installed to pump the water
to reservoir on one of the highest hills
and from this reservoir pipes will take il
to every green.
A sketch of the new course will be
found in other columns of this paper. II
shows that the course will measure ap-
proximately 5000 yards-an ideal length
with par approximating seventy-twe
strokes as follows:

HERE IS QUEER BASE BALL
THAT MIGHT HAVE COME UP
What Would Umpire Have Done If Runner
Had Not Gone to First
Base on Balls?

would not have made the trip to first
base and neither would Zeider have done
SO, as he already was near first. If
Zeider had gone out from the Sox bench
and taken up Easterly's journey at
home plate going from there to first, all
would have been well, of course as a
player may be substituted for another at
any time. according to the rules.
Runner Must Travel Around Bases.
There is no doubt about the intent of
the rules that somebody must cover the
entire distance of $50 feet from home
plate around to home plate in order TO
score a run legally. They do not specify
that the round trip must be continuous,
for that might be construed In the
backwoOds into ruling out all runs NOT
scored without stopping at any or the
bases. But there is no question about
the necessity OF covering the whole
journey in some way or other rms IL
shown by the compulsory and perfume
tory trip player makes after hittins a
fair ball over the fence. 1t is home
run and the tally is as good as counted
the instant the ball disappears from the
umpire's view on or over fair ground.
But the fortunate and pleased batsman
must go through all the motions OF COM
pleting the circuit just as il the ball were
inside the lot with couple Of outfielders
running race in an effort to stop MIN
before he could complete the round:
Taking it for granted that somebody
had to go from the plate to first base
after Easterly had been given a base on
balls. what would have been the penalty
for failure to observe that custom!
Umpire Tom Connolly, dean of the
American League board of arbitrators,
who was on the job during the game
in question. had the guess put up to
him. He was asked what he would have
done If Easterly had slipped away to the
bench and Zeider had stepped from the
coachers box to first base and nobody
else had noticed it.
Connolly expressed the opinion that
there should be some penalty. and
thought he probably would have called
.Easterly out for failure to go to first
base. When asked "why?" the dean OF
jumps replied that there was no rule to
apply to the case except that OF com
mon sense" This is true, for the pres
ent code is absolutely barren of any,
thing that could be made to apply. The

vance a base in the following cases."
IF, while the batsman, he becomes a
base runner by reason Of four balls. or
for being hit by a pitched ball." and
so on.
base without any chance to put him out
in any way under the present rules
There is nowhere any provision to cover
the case of player who does not avail
himself of the privilege of advancing
a base. ner anything to specify how
OUT holds good. Under the rules. a
player may run to first at top speed,
he may dog trot the distance, or he
may walk the ninety feet, as most men
now do. So far as that rule Is con-
cerned, he can go to the clubhouse.
