Last Night

LONDON, April 6.-An order was
expected from the home office today
removing the hungerstriking Mrs.
Emmeline Pankhurst from Holloway
jail to Aylesbury prison, 40 miles
from London.
The suffragist pickets. who, In re-
lays, have walked around the jail
night and day since their leader was
imprisoned. were chagrined at the
prospective transfer OF Mrs. Pank-
hurst. because Aylesbury Is a lonely
place, where any demonstration the
women might make would lose much
OF its effectiveness.
That the defiant militant leader Will
not serve three years in prison, or
even an appreciable fraction of that
time, Is almost assured. Her stay in
jail will be measured by her physical
endurance. II Mrs Pankhurst has the

SEES CONSPIRACY
AGAINST MOOSE
Progressive National Commit
teeman Attacks Barrie
County Election Board

In a statement issued this morning,
Charles Ii. Thompson. OF the national
executive committee OF the Progress
sive party, charges that an attempt
has been made through the chairman
OF election commissioners In Barrie
county TO prevent the placing OF the
name of Paul X. Gray, of Detroit, on
the ballot as candidate for regent or
the University OF Michigan.
Upon the resignation of Henry X.
Pattengill as Progressive candidate
for the regency, the name Of Paul X.
Gray. OF Detroit, was substituted, and
the chairmen OF the various county
election boards were duly notified by
registered mall.
charles +. Hoffman, sec
rotary OF the Progressive state cen
trail committee, was notified by Coun
ty Chairman Charles II. Bauer that
the election commissioner sof Barrie
county had issued the official ballot
without substituting Grays name FOR
that OF Pattengil.
Hoffman at once telegraphed
threatening legal proceedings unless
the change was made. and, according
to Thompson, Thomas NJ. Mack, chair
man OF the county board OF election
commissioners, admitted the receipt
OF the notification of change, which
he said had been mislaid by his CLERK.
Thompson charges that the com
missioners have refused 10 issue he"
ballots, but have instead printed pas
tiers which they claim TO have sent
TO the inspectors OF the various cleo
ton precincts, in order that they may
be pasted on the alleged wrongfuily
issued ballots.
Thompson charges Chairman Mack
with wilrully negecting TO notify the
Progressive county chairman OF the
fact that the notification had been
mislaid.

An unusual bill. passed by the SEN
ate, Friday. Is that OF. Senator Waiter.
OF Traverse City, to make 1t one or
the duties Of the supreme court TO
pass on the points OF law involved IN
pending bills which the legislature
might submit TO 1t.
The practice now is to submit doubt
full proposals to the Encouragement,
but his opinion does not carry con-
elusive weight and. as has been done
this session, bills are sometimes pass
ed contrary TO his judgment.
The argument was advanced against
the bill that II would tend to increase

more plausible the charge OF judicial

he/said II was Either carelessly or

bon followed with an earnest plea
against reflections upon the integrity
Of actions OF members OF the legisla'

Senator Alswede, OF Sanford, sug-
sested that the settlers themselves be
