HARNESSES LAST CHANGE
 TO ACQUIRE LAND.
Time Limit in California Expired on
 Saturday by New Alien Law.

San Francisco, Aug. 10.-Saturday was the last day under the alien land act passed by the late legislature on which Japanese. either as individuals or corporations, may acquire land nj California
 Individuals now holding land may continue to do so during their natural life, but may not devise it to Japanese heirs. Corporations formed before the law goes into effect may hold land for 50 years. A number of such corpora tions have recently been recorded.
 No object of the law has been de feated by these corporations" says At torney General Webb, who revised the bill into its present form. The law was not intended to force Japanese now owning land to part with 1t at once or within any fixed period. They were to be permitted to hold it during their lives. By forming corporations they merely extended their time of ownership.
 But after Aug. 10. the object of the law, which is to prevent an increase in the amount of alien holdings and grad ually to break up the colonies now ex- iSting will be attained.

Battle Line
 of Suffragettes
BROKEN BY POLICE AND LEADER
 EMMELINE ARRESTED
POLICE SWUNG CLUBS
Militants Marched to Take Aseuth's House and Charged Police with Dash and Courage.

London, Aug. 10.-The third attempt or the suffragettes under command of Sylvia Pankhurst to take Premier Asqu1th's house in Downing street by storm failed today when the mil ltant leader was captured by a cordon of police thrown across Whitehall af- ter stiff fight in which the police used their clubs.
 The trouble began after a mass meeting held under the auspices of the free speech defense committee which was called to demand the uncondi- tional release of George Lansbury, former socialist member of the house of commons who was sentenced July 30 to three months imprisonment for making inhammatory speeches, but who was released August End under the "cat and mouse act" while on hunger strike.
 Spoke from Nelson Column.
 Miss Pankhurst had refused an in- vitation to make a speech at this meeting when informed that she would not be permitted to urge her hearers to march upon Downing street The free speech speakers today advised the crowd not to attack the preniers residence. but at the close of their meeting Miss Pankhurst. true to her promise made last week mounted tho plinth of the Nelson column and in fiery words ordered her sympathiers to follow her.
 Flying Wedge of Dockmen. Hatless, her hair bound close to her head, the young militant leader started down Whitehall surrounded by sev- | eral women carrying the Women'S So- cial and Political Union flag surmount- ! ed by a red liberty cap and preceded by a flying wedge of dockmen and other husky east enders.
 Police Strategy.
 The squads of police in Trafalgar square allowed the procession to leave the square and then fell in behind. The | suffragette sympathizers saw the reason for this strategical move when they found a battle line of heavy policemen drawn across Whitehall at the Horse Guards. the office of the inspector gen. | eral of the forces.
 1 Fifteen Arrests Made.
 The militants attacked this line with such dash and courage that a 1 few of them penetrated the first cor | don, where the fight became so fierce that the police used their clubs. Re | serves of police then rushed up and Sylvia Pankhurst and five other wo- men and nine men were arrested and 1 taken to the police station in taxi | cabs. | Police Cleared the Streets. | Disheartened at the fate of their l leader, the mob sullenly dispersed.

MAKES ABSOLUTE DENIAL Governor SuIzer Says He Never Used Campaign Funds for Speculative Purposes

Albany, \. Y.. Aug. 10.-After long conference tonight with some of his close political advisers Governor Sul- Ger issued a short statement denying absolutely that he ever used campaign funds for speculative purposes He says he never heard of the stock brok- craze firms of Fuller & Gray and Boyer &. GriSwold. alleged transactions with which figured largely in the testi- mony before the Frawley legislative committee, until these names were brought out before the committee.
 The governor admits he did apply certain campaign contributions to his personal use, but adds that he made the amounts good. He also admits having had transactions with the stock firm of Harris X Fuller. but insists that his account with this firm was not speculative and consisted of a loan on stock and collateral. He denies that he ever speculated in Wall street.
 Preparing Frawley Report.
 Eugene Lamb Richards, counsel for the Frawley committee. spent the day preparing draft of the report which the committee plans to present to the legislature when 1t cOnVeneS( tomorrow night. MT. Richards said tonight that the, report would be short and would deal principally with the testimony concerning Governor Sulzer's cam paign contributions and stock transac- tions.
 Senator Wagner said the committee would meet to consider the report to- morrow evening before the session of the legislature. The senator said he expected a large attendance of Iegis- lators, as all had been wired to be present.
 Democrats Will Have Enough Votes.
 In view of the vital importance of the attitude of the IT republican sena- tors in case the assembly determines to institute impeachment proceedings, it is recalled that early in the regular session Senator EIon R. Brown. the re- publican leader, intimated broadly that if it could be proven that MT Sulzer during his campaign bargained with certain labor leaders to support a full railroad crew bill in return for sup port from labor organizations. that fact would constitute grounds for im- peachment.
 The general impression is that, with a majority of more than two thirds in the assembly, there will be enough democratic votes in that body to initi- ate the impeachment proceedings with out the aid of the republicans or pro- gressives.
