RIFT IN RANKS Of THE
ENGLISH M|L|TANTS
American Members Fail to
Agree
I" c OU IT NJ A r T l A L y
General Drummond Tries Mrs.
Mary Ford of New York.
Mrs. Ford Ridicules
Charges
I" OU RT NJ A r TIA L y

Lcndon. April 25.--A rift between the
Womens Social and Political union. the
organization of militant suffra gettes and
its American members was INDICATED to-
Gay by the summoning Of court
martial composed of General Mrs.
Flora Drummond. acting as Judge advo-
cate, and the "ca binet of the union sit
ting as judges to try Mrs. Mary Ford
of New York, on a charge of alleged
treason to the society.
The military features of the court were
all in quite correct form with one ex-
ception-there was no means of compell-
ing the attendance of the accused, who
failed to appear.
Mrs Ford later said she knew nothing
of the charge and did not expect to ap-
pear before the court
The charges against Mrs. Ford as pre-
pared by General Drummond were
three, as follows:
l. Failing to inform the union as to
the exact hour of the release of Miss
Zelie Emerson of jackson. Mich, which
fact was within Mrs. Fords knowledge
and, being valuable to the organization
she was in duty bound to reveal.
Planned kidnapping
2. The allegation that Mrs Ford had
told American press representatives in
London that the union planned the kid
napng of Miss Emerson from her mother
8. That Mrs. Ford had contravened a
strict rule OF the union by announcing
publicly that she had committed specific
acts of militancy.
In court today it was explained this
rule was very important and the record
was pointed out showing that the only
suffra gettes who had been caught were
captured red handed while the others
went free. This, twas said, indicated
that the perpetrators of militant acts
while glorying in their jail records, did
not talk about their specific deeds.
In reciting these facts which she claimed
were proved by a sheaf of clipping from
American papers which she waved aloft
General Drummond denounced the
American woman as a traitor.
Mrs. Ford ridiculed the second charge
stating that she had not informed any
one of such a plot which she herself was
unaware existed.
Today's affair Is considered as impor-
tant. all the cabinet of the women
social and political union out of jail being
present.
General Drummond declares that the
militant organization is full of spies, nc
less than six of its members, one of whom
is an American woman, being agents OF
Scotland Yard
