MESSAGE FROM MILITAN1S.
MRS. PANKHURST TELLS NEW
WORKERS OF CAUSE OF
MILITANTISM.
In Her First Speech i'm Nations Me-
trOpOlis English SufYragctte Leader
Defends Methods of Women in
Their Fight for Ballot, Indicating
Why this Is Necessary.

New York, Oct. 21.-Mrs. Emmelne
Pankhurst, addressing tonight in
Madison Square Garden her first
American mass meeting, explained
why militant methods for the cause
of woman suffrage are followed in
England but not in America and de-
Tended the employment of such meth
DDS. She criticised the British gov
ernment as the most conservative on
earth and held it responsible, through
failure to enact legislation desired by
women, for advocates of suffrage re-
sorting to violence to obtain it. Only
through dynamite methods, she de-
clared, could English women hope to
secure laws dealing with white slav-
cry, industrial evils and other condi-
tions affecting women.
Preparations had been made for an
overflow meeting at Madison Square
Garden but the big hall, witt, a seat
ing ca acity Of about 10000 persons,
was scarcely One-quarter filled. This
was attributed by the suffragists to the
uncertainty that existed almost until
the eleventh hour as to whether the
immigration authorities would allow
Mrs. Pankhurst to land.
Some leading suffragsts of this
country and a few hunger strikers"
from England sat with Mrs. Pank-
hurst on stage draped with q tri-
colored flag bearing the inscription
Resistance to Tyranny in Obedience
to God"
Wearing small steel bar badges sig
nifying that their militancy had re-
suited in Jail terms, were Miss Elsie
Mckenzie and Miss Mary Keegan,
English girls who have come here to
accept business opportunities and
Miss Lucy Burns and Miss Elizabeth
Freeman, American girls who went
to England to fight for "the cause"
Mrs. o. II. p. Belmont, Miss Lavinia
Dock. Miss Sybil Wilbur, Miss AL
berta Hill, Miss FOla La Toilette, Miss
Ida Craft and other American suffra-
gist leaders sat with them.
Mrs. Pankhurst was introduced by
Charles Edward Russell, Socialist
candidate for mayor. The audience,
the majority women, made q demon
stration lasting two minutes when the
English militant leader tried to speak.
Women stood on chairs and frantically
waved handkerchiefs and yellow
flags. Mrs Pankhurst closed her eyes
and waited for the enthusiasm to die
away.
Her experiences with the immigra-
ton authorities, Mrs. Pankhurst
spoke of with praise, declaring the
work at Ellis Island admirably done
and the immigrants cared for there
far better than are the poor, alien and
native In Great Britain.
IL have been accustomed to plead

said. Il wanted to go to Washington

QUASH WATSON CHARGE.
FEDERAL JUDGE THROWS OUT
INDICTMENT.
POpulist Leader May BE Hailed To
Court Again.

Augusta, Ga, Oct. 21.-Holdirg & that
the indictment charging Thomas E.
Watson, historian, editor and former
presidential candidate, with sending
obscene matter through the mails, was
illegal, Federal Judge Rufus e. Fos-
ter today ordered the case thrown out
of court
In sustaining the motion of the de-
fense, made yesterday, asking that the
indictment be quashed; Judge Foster
brought the trial to an abrupt and un-
expected close. The largest audience
ever assembled in the federal court
room here attended today's session,
and when the judge announced his
ruling dism:ssing the charges against
! the Georgia editor, the spectators
broke into thunderous cheers. Judge
Foster paid no attention to this
demonstration, which quickly subsid-
ed. 1t was solely upon the contention
raised by Mr.. Watson himself that
under the federal statute the entire
alleged obscene article, and not por-
tions Of it, must be included in the in
dictment, that the court ordered the
case dismissed. Extended argument
upon the motion had been made by S.
G. McLendon, Mr.. Watson's principal
attorney, and at the close of this the
defendant asked permission to pre-
sent what he described as "other
phases" of the matter.
This being granted, Mr.. Watson
addressed the court briefly, laying
stress upon his claim that the indict-
ment should not select certain pas
sages of the article written by him,
but should include the entire matter.
He said that unless this were true, it
would be possible to indict persons
mailing copies of the Bible or the
criminal code of Georgia.

the disaster came the call for food,

there came a call for physicians to
