which had been purchased fer the city
by Dr.. J. ]. Garvey, deputy health

yesterday, failed to arrive. The ami
mails started from Bluemont in charge
of driver, and it has been reported
that one of the horses got away from
the driver when about 30 miles from

for home. The driver failed to catch
up with the runaway and had to re-

ses, which are spirited animals, refus-
ing to continue on to Alexandria with
the team, and turned back home. An

that at our meeting today and put it
fatty up TO the A. F. of L."

in Jail for hearing Saturday on the
writ of habeas corpus although ne ex-
poets to be cleared of the charge of
"unlawul assembly," on which he was

When the crowd reached Hopedale
they were confronted by several hun
dred policemen and they quietly turn
ed around and marched back to Mil

of policemen drove them off. The
strikers will appoint a committee at a

boohs by the women in the court
room, despite the efforts Of the po-
licemen to keep them quiet.

tants.
The jurors in delivering their var-
dict of guilty, unanimously begged
the magistrate to show mercy 70
he convicted woman.
When Mrs. Pankhurst realized that
she had been sent to prison for three
wars at hard labor, her face bianch-
ed, those nearest to her thought, but
she made no comment.
The maximum penalty for the
crime of which she was convicted IS
fourteen years imprisonment.
The jury deliberated only few
minutes. and returned their verdict
at PIP p. M.
The fate of Mrs. Pankhurst went
to the jury Of men after Justice
Lush had told the twelve thai her
impassioned plea-all the defense
sh- submitted--was "irrelevant-"
When Chief Inspector O'Bricn Of
Scotland Yard told his story of the

Mrs. Pankhurst then proceeded to

Of England that she said were un-
inst to women. They included al
most every Law of Importance in
England.
"The divorce law alone she said'
ais sufficient to justify revolution
by the women"
Mrs, Pankhurst concluded her adj
dr,ss to the jury by defying the
rountrv's laws, saying that she would
not submit them, no matter what
happened.
"Whatever the sentence may be
imposed upon me, III not submit
