Liverpool, July 1O.-A dramatic
confession of incendiarism was made
by well known militant suffragetts.
Mrs. Edith Rigby, wife of a physician
at Preston, to the magistrate sitting
in the police court here today. Mrs
Rigby declared that it was she who
on last Tuesday burned down tho
country residence at Rivington, near
Horwich, Lancashire, of Sir VIM. Il.
Lever, causing damage estimated ar
100000.
She further confessed to being The.
perpetrator of the outrage at the Liv-
erpool stock exchange, when a bomb
expoded, but caused little damage.
Mrs. Rigby surrendered voluntarily
to tins iolice. When arraigned today
she g'o'ied in her achievements, say
ing she wanted Sir VIM H. Lever 70
chosider whether his house was moe
valuable as show place than as a
beacon lighted for the king and the
country to see women suffering an in
supportable grievance.
She told the magistrate:
81 lighted that beacon. also pIace1
the explosives in the liverpool stoc6
exchange to show how easy it is to
public buildings. / might just as
easily have blown up the Nelson
monument"
She was remanded for further

Mrs. Edith Rigby has been menu
ber of the Woman's Social Political
union, the militant suffrage organ
ization for many years and has taken
a great part in public movements -

nection with the suffrage movement
and was on several occasions released
owing tn the breakdown of her heaIts.
a'icr q hunger strike.
Mrs Rigby, in the course of her
speech IL the magistrate, said:
i close the Liverpool cotton ex-
change because the cotton industry
has been built up largely by women's
labor. The merchants are willing to
get power and wealth out of the labor
of women, while the women them
selV es are denied the vote and citizen
ship. This is the first knock at the
door Under the 'Catesmouse act one
of the greatest women in the land is
going to be done to death. If the
government is going to kill that wo-
man this is warning"

it has been passed upon by the senate
democratic caucus, many of its pro-

that it would take four years of court

purpose than to pick out flaws or al
legged flaws of phraseology and legal

decisions, will avail nothing in this

A new court house for Iavapai
County" that's the slogan adopted
by the Chamber of Commerce at
busy session last night. There
wasn't much said upon the subject.
Oratory doesn't bring results in such
instances and the members OF the
Chamber appeared determined to &C
complish things instead of merely
talking about them. In the appoint
ment of a committee OF three, there
was action. From all indications
the ball has actually been started
rolling for Navapai county's much
needed new building.

"That would have been sufficient
cause for her to be ordered to leave
the town, but the matter was al
lowed to lag and the result is seen
in Seligman being given a black
eye as an undesirable place to live"
continued Mr.. Dial Il and others
protested to the officers against this
woman being permitted to remain,
particularly 50 when she was on the
street while children were passing
to and fro. This killing is one of
the most deplorable and cold-blood-
ed that has ever taken place in that
section and when the trial takes
place the alleged frame-up given
as the cause of the shooting will
be effectively dissipated."
