publications he thus announces his
permanency in this State. The Amer

a great paper and entirely creditable

Pankhurst Grows Weaker.

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, April 1.-THE violence
squad of the militant suffragettes in
vaded Tunbridge Wells to-day and
destroyed the building of the Neville
cricket ground.
The building was fired and explo-
sives were planted in order to in
sure its destruction. The pavilion
was destroyed.
Near the ruins a photograph of Mrs.
Emmeline .Pankhurst, president of
the Woman's Social and Political I'm
ion, was found Upon the back was
written "Militancy win not cease un-
til women get the vote"
The police investigated the burn
ing, but were unable to get a clew to
the identity of the incendiaries. Mrs.
Pankhurst's threat to leave Holloway
Jail in time to take part in last nights
big suffragette demonstration in Al
bert Hall was not carried out.
1t was announced at the Holloway
Jail that Mrs. Pankhurst rapidly is
growing weaker from her self-imposed
starvation, but that her condition is
not critical. The militant leader is
surprising the Jail attendants by her
remarkable vitality.
Some of the suffragettes have found
ways to badger King George. The
private royal telephone calls have
been disclosed by some servant in the
royal household and women are daily
calling up the palaces and shouting
Votes for women!" over the tele-
phone. The Countess OF Shaftesbury

pathy for the cause"
Nearly 100000 has been raised by

GEORGE sTEINMANN's HOUSE
rs SAVED az HIS DOG


One OF those occurrences which we
read about In, wonder happened last
night when George Steinmann's house
on the Spit took fire,,and when he was
awakened to the danger just In time
by his faithful little dog.
Mr.. Steinmann before retiring last
night decided to set fire to the great
pile If paper and rubbish which had
accumulated In his stove and he threw
a match into II. The match did not
ignite the fire, however and he went
to bed and fell asleep. Some time la.
ter his little white dog came II. bark
Ing and kicking up quite a noise but
Mr.. Steinmann sent him under the bed
and fell asleep again. Soon afterwards
the dog jumped out and ran all over
his master and began to bark excited
ly. There was evidently something
wrong 30 Mr.. Steinmann jumped IN
and opened the door into the next
room where the stove stands. The
whole roof was afire.
In a few moments more the house
would have been destroyed but for
tunately Mr.. Steinmann keeps chem
leak extinguisher and with this he
managed to put out the blaze before
much damage was done. The most
serious part Of the affair 10 that the
room IN which he sleeps ID cut OF from
the outside by the room in which the
IRE took place 10 that George not
only feels that he owes his house to
the dog but that he owes him his lifs

At THE LAST moment


ed before and the only difference Is
that they are now officially given out
for the first time. They contained the
proposal that hostilities should cease
at once and that Huerta could not
present himself for election. This cleo
tion was to be carried on during an
armistice which was to have been de-
clared and this election was to have
been absolutely free in every way. The
proposals also embodied the insistence
that all sides should abide by the re-
suit. When Huerta had intimated that
he would agree. to all this he asked for
further time at the last moment and
there the matter stands at present.
