London, February g.: Militant suf-
fragettes destroyed many valuable
plants and did other damage reaching d
total of $1,000 In the hothouses OF the
Kew horticultural gardens during the
early hours of this morning. Thus they
developed another part of their plan Of
campaign to force the government to
give the vote to the women. 1t Is be-
lieved q number of women hid them
selves in the gardens overnight, for
this morning long before the day staff
came on duty, II was found that large
number of rare orchids had been up
rooted and scattered in all directions.
Thirty panes Of glass in the orchid
houses were broken. When the night
watchmen made their rounds at /
o'clock in the morning everything was
in good order, and the women must have
laid their plans well beforehand in or
der to find hiding places where they
could lie in security No trace Of them
has since been found. The postal au-
thorities today issued a notice that
they would be delay on all kilograms to
the north Of England, because Of the
cutting Of the telegraph wires In the
provinces by the suffragettes yester-
day. The window smashing raids con-
tinued In London today.
1T is believed probable, says a
Washington dispatch, that as last re-
sort those fighting for Communication for
Floyd and Claude Allen propose to
bring about the arrest and trial OF Dex-
ter Goad, clerk Of the circuit court OF
Carroll county, and that this will be ef-
fected by warrant sworn out by Vic
tor Allen, who with Miss Nellie Wiss-
Ter, still remains at Richmond. 1t Is
currently reported among certain Allen
sympathizers that the trial jury which
convicted Sidna Allen at Wytheville,
took q straw vote on the question OF
the guilt or innocence Of Dexter Goad,
after Sidna Aliens trial and that ma
jority Of the members Of that jury were
of the opinion that Goad under indict-
ment would be found guilty by them. 1t
is believed by many Of those who petit
toned Governor Mann for the commu-
tation Of the two Allen sentences that
should Dexter Goad be placed on trial,
his excellency would await the outcome
of that prosecution before finally acting
upon the question Of modifying the Al
len sentences. An agitation for the ar
rest and trial of Goad was started some
time ago, but IL was not pushed to con-
clusion. 1t Is held by some Of those
sympathizing with Claude and Floyd
Allen that the arrest and trial Of Good
might bring out evidence heretofore
developed which might result in mate
rial benefit to the Carroll county clans
men They also believe that the trial OF
Goad would serve to temporarily at
least, induce the governor to postpone
action and allow him longer time for
consideration, together with affording
him the benefit Of evidence which so
far has been presented.
New York, February 8: An even
two dozen some dead. some retired,
some still on the police force, were
branded as grafters and go-betweens
yesterday in a recital by James Pur-
cell, retired gambler, who told the al
dermanic investigating committee that
he and his associates had given $4,000
protection money in seventeen years.
Interest today centered at police head
quarters, though 1t Is believed that
Commissioner Waldo will not suspend
any OF those mentioned until he has
confirmed the truth by independent in
vestigation. For seventeen years James
Purcell said he had paid for the privil-
ege Of running gambling house, max
ing a handbook or conducting a pool
room. In all, he gave the police more
than $50,000, he declared, during this
period. Former Sheriff Harvey, Of
Queens county; Police Inspector Nc
Laughlin, half dozen police captains
including a brother law Of Charles
F. Murphy, the Tammany Hall leader,
and scores of ward heelers and police
men, some now on the force, some of,
were among the men who got the mon
ey, he said Once, he said, orders came
indirectly" from Murphy himself to
close up. He moved at once. Charles
Becker, now in the death house at Sing
Sing for the murder of Rosenthal, got
$3.50 from him for fixing" the evidence
against him and five others taken in a
raid Becker made on his gambling
house, Purcell declared. Becker was
then head Of the strong arm" squad
for the suppression Of gambling.
have paid money to every squad that
was ever detailed by headquarters to
suppress gambling except cne" Purcell
testified. "They all took 1t except Cos
tigan's. Costigan was on the level"
Once he defled the police. For nine
months, when he had Jack McAuliffe,
former lightweight champion. for a
partner, they ran a gambling house on
the upper East Side without making
the weekly payments to collectors. The
police stationed two men at the door Of
his establishment he declared, to warn
all customers that it was gambling
house. But Jack beat that scheme"
he said, IF the two policemen forgot
the talk or talked much he gave them
$5 apiece a day. If they did not they
got no money. They generally talked
mice" Police commissioners, inspec-
tors and captains came and went dur
ing the time Purcell was operating in
the Tenderloin, he said, but II made no
difference. Collectors for the System"
came around regularly every week or
every month. When he was making a
handbook he paid them $25 week;
when he was running a pool room or
gambling house he paid them $50 to
500 a week.
Washington. February s: The
Webb bill to prohibit the interstate
shipment of liquor into dry" states
for purpose of sale, "or in any manner
used" in violation Of the state laws,
was passed by the house Of representa-
tives late today. Two hundred and
forty votes were recorded in favor Of
the measure, while sixty-five represen-
tatives voted against it. The passage
of the bill ended one of the most stub
bornly fought all-day contests Of this
congress. Senator Kenyon Of Iowa, au-
thor Of a senate measure Of the same
general purport, sat in the house most
Of the day watching the fight, which
opened with a contest over the rule to
bring up the Webb bill. Representa-
tives Of organized anti saloon advo-
Gates sat In the galleries and kept tai
lies on the roll calls. Representative
Fitzgerald Of New York criticised his
fellow Democratic leaders for not de-
voting more time to essential appro
priation bills. Representative Dalzell,
of Pennsylvania, Republican said this
Democratic house would go down in
history as one Of mastery inactivity"
Representative Mann of Illinois char
acteriZed as "flimflam" the bringing up
Of the bill at this time. Former Speak
er Cannon declared that the states
should regulate traffic themselves. Rep
sentative Berger Of Wisconsin, Social
ist, contended that all great men from
Julius Caesar down to Cannon were
temperate drinkers. Representative
Sherley of Kentucky attacked the va
ldity of the hill and Representative
