SUFFRAGISTS BURN
ANOTHER BUILDING
In Protest Against the Sen
fencing of Mrs. Pankhurst
to Prison, the Militant
Women Burn Country
Home in Buckinghamshire
Leader Is on Strike.

London, April 4.-The suffragettes,
continuing their campaign of retaili-
ton against the sentencing of Mrs.
Emmeline Pankhurst, their leader, to
term of imprisonment, succeeded to-
night in destroying another large
country house by fire.
AS in several previous cases of the
kind, the residence, which was Sit
uated at ChorleyWood, Buckingham
shire, was unoccupied, but was being
prepared for the reception of a ten
ant. The owners of the building, a
firm of contractors, estimate their loss
at $125OO
Cards bearing the inscription,
"Votes for women" and other suf-
fragette notices were found on the
grounds. No arrests were made.
The police believe that some of the
recent criminal acts attributed to the
suffragettes, principally the attempts
to destroy railway property, We're the
work of men engaged by the women
All the railway stations and tunnels
are being patrolled to prevent damage
by miscreants.
Miss Scott-Troy, the California suf-
fragette, forwarded to Secretary of
State Bryan at Washington tonight
samples of the "instruments of tor
ture' used forcibly ito feed suf-
fragettes, including Miss Zelie Emer-
son. An accompanying note explains
that the samples do not contain the
metallic tip which all the women de-
clare is used in the prison. Dr. Man
sell Moulin, whom Mrs. Emerson de-
sired to visit her daughter in prison,
has written to Secretary Bryan that
one of the great dangers OF forcible
feeding as practiced in the prisons is
the absence of proper antiseptic pre-
cautions.
Mrs. Pankhurst has carried out her
threat to go on a hunger strike. The
last meal she took was luncheon be-
fore sentence was imposed upon her
yesterday. Since she entered Hollo-
way Jail she has conformed to all of
it's rules except that she refuses food.

LECTURES ON TIE
BALKAN STATES

LEGEs IN A MISSIONARY LAND,
WILL SPEAK AT THE Big CAM
PAIGN. ~"

Coming almost directly to this city
from the Balkan: states and the scene
Of the present war, George H. Scherer
of Beirut, Syria, will deliver what will
probably be the most popular series of
the World Campaign of Missionary
Evangelism, which will be held in this
city next month.
Word was received last evening by
Fl. H. Wheelock, chairman of the exc
cutive committee that Mr.. Scherer will
be present and deliver a series of eight

from pictures taken in Syria and Tur-
key. The subjects of the lectures are:
Scenes in Syria, Parts of Palestine,
The Turbulent Turk, Egypt on the Nile.
The Moslem Menace, Mohammed or
Christ, Why Turkey
Mr.. Scherer, who is an instructor in
probably the greatest christian college
in any mission land, the Syrian Pro-
testant college in Beirut, was for two
years head master of the American
mission high school in Schweir, Mt.
Lebanon. At the present time Mr..
Scherer is delivering a series of lee
lures in Chicago under the auspices of
The Chicago Daily News and at the
conclusion of his engagement in this
city returns to Syria.
For the. reason that the causes as
we'll as the probable results of the
Balkan war will be made very plain
to those attending the conference a
number of the christian Greeks and
Bohemians of the city have registered
for the course of lectures.

ACQUITTED
OSCAR ANDERSON
CHICAGO MAN CHARGED WITH
USING MAILS TO DEFRAUD WAS
ACQUITTED BY FEDERAL JURY
LAST NIGHT - ADJOURNED
APRIL TERM ENDED.

Oscar Anderson of Chicago, who
carried on his business under the
name of Andrus Solberg, was acquit-
ted of the charge of using the United
States mails to defraud by the federal
jury late last evening. 1t was alleged
that Anderson sold a fake consump-
ton cure, which the expert chemists
testified was a worthless compound of
rye and barley meal.
A number of witnesses were called
by the government to give opinions
on the value of the medicinal prepara-
ton sent out by the defendant. Prof.
e. F. Ladd, the state chemist and
pure food commissioner, stated on the
stand that AndersOn's "Cure" was not
what it purported to be and could be
manufactured at little cost and was
sold at a large profit to the manu-
facturer. Prof. Earle B.. Butt, form
erly of the A. c.. faculty, but now of
the government laboratories in New
York, was also one of the expert
chemists called to testify.
Prof. F. Leland watkins of the
Dakota Business college, was placed on
the stand to testify as a handwriting
expert and identify the addresses on
certain letters and cards. Anderson
denied the charges, but acknowledged
he carried on: his business under the
name of Andrus Solberg. He is. a
young Scandinavian about 20. years
old.
Judge w. H. Barnett. of, Barnett
& Richardson, appeared as counsel for
the defendant, and Judge Edward En-
gerud conducted the prosecution.
The conclusion of the Anderson
case, resulting in the young mans
acquittal, marked the close of the ad-
journed April term Of the federal
court. All jurors not impaneled in
the last case were permanently ex-
cused yesterday noon.

I Officers from the sheriff's office
have been making the rounds for the
past two days and it is stated that
no a single machine or continuance
was in operation, neither was there
n eve in sight. .....- -
1t was stated to The Forum by diff
ferent dealers this morning that really
the shutting out of such devices was
a relief, for the slot machines and
other arrangements for gambling were
rapidly becoming a nuisance and that
the fact that there were none such
in the business places meant that
the minor. would stay out. AZ the diff
ferent pool rooms it is stated that
orders have been made for the at
taches to comply with the laws in
every respect as they relate to minors
and cigarettes, will not be sold only
under the law.
1t was stated that the order is a
permanent one and that 1t is believed
that the last Of the slot machines have
been seen in this city.
Chief Of Police Keefe has also given
his officers orders to assist in every
way possible the sheriff and his men
in seeing that the orders of the dis
trict court were enforced all the
time.

Gambling Lid
CIamped on Tight
in the Gate City Now

The recent order of the district
court is most sweeping in its effect
so far as the least semblance of
gambling is concerned, and it is being
very strictly observed in the city at
the present time.
The work of throwing out the diff
ferent devices used in cigar stores,
pool rooms and elsewhere owe the
city to secure nickels and dimes be-
gan early yesterday morning and 1t
is believed that If Fargo were to be
raked over with a fine toothcomb at
the present time there would not be
found a single game Of chance as
interpreted by the laws Of the state
in operation.
At first it was thought the order
Of Judge Pollock WAS. alone directed
at tn slot machines, but since the or
der has been closely scanned by the
attorneys it has been found that 1t
not only includes this class of gambl-
ing, but refers 20 the dice, the card
punches and all 3ucn devices.
In fact it takes in everything that
in any. way might be considered a
game of chance, even to throwing out
the games that were run for boxes of
candy, knives, watches and all such.

FOR Big MEETING
FARGO COMMERCIAL CLUB MAY
TAKE PART IN STUDENTS
TRAIN OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
TO AUTO OWNERS ARE BEING
SENT OUT.

The meeting of the Fargo CONNER
cial clubs executive committee on
text Monday at the noo hour will
be one of the most important that has
been held for a long time.
At this meeting the date of the mass
meeting of the members of the club
will be announced n then efforts
will be made to get all the members
out.
The advertising committee will also
be asked to make it's report on what
the club should do in the way Of
publicity on the students train that
is to be shortly run over the different
roads of the state, for it is believed
that it will be a good thing for the
club to do something to advertise the
city of Fargo on this trip.
Sending Out Letters.
Secretary Hardy is sending out let
tiers to the owners of automobiles in
the different counties in this section
asking them to cooperate with Fargo
and Cass county in urging h mem
bers of the legislature to take some
action that will tend to the betterment
of the roads in this section of the
state. It is hoped that all those who
receive these letters will get busy with
their members of the legislature and
urge llSII 10 40 In6lT ulllOSI LOT SOOu
roads. 1t is thought that every auto
owner in the counties that were
named yesterday will taxi a great
interest in the matter.
Pay Mo Attention.
There seems to be some misunder-
standing in regard to letters sent out
from the club" said the secretary this
morning. ut might be stated that
the letters we're sent out to every
member of the club and it is hoped
that those who have already paid their
dues will pay no attention to the last
clause of the letter. The letters were
in regard to the dues and are not in
tended for those who have already
sent in their checks. Everything ap-
pears to be going along all right"
continued Mr.. Hardy, and we hope
that when the date is set for the mass
meeting there will not be a member
missing at the general or mass meet
ing of members"
