Is considered one of the very best

In "Old Songs and Memories"
she played the part of girl of
IS, a young woman of 23 and an
old woman of 60. She made so
changes, taking not more than 5
or 6 minutes for each one.
She wrote 1.-THE Profligate, In
which there was a big fencing
scene. BY the way, Alice Roose-

one of her fencing pupils.
Eugene Besserer played child

TRY
To BLOW Up
CHURCH

LONDON, May Renewed in
cendiarism and bomb attempts
followed the defeat in the house
of commons of the Dickinson suf-
frage bill. Early today a bomb
with a clock and battery attach
ment was found under the bish-
ops throne at st. Paul's cathedral.
Another bomb was found in Bou-
vierie street, opposite the Evening
Star building, near Chambers. The
suffragettes are beloved to be re-
sponsible.
The cricket pavilion at Bishops
park, Fulham, bungalow at Bex-
hill, and house in Finchley road,
all unoccupied, were burned last
night. Suffragette literature was
found in each place. Home Secre-
tary McKenna was greatly alarmed
over the renewed activities of the
suffragettes.

FOR
WOMEN LOST
IN ENGLAND

LONDON, May by vote of
266 to 219 the woman suffrage
bill was killed in the house of par
Lament Tuesday after a vigorous
debate on both sides. The bill
went down under the weight of
the straight opposition of the so
Irish nationalities who feared If
women voted it would have q
bearing on the home rule ques-
ton.
The militant tactics of the suf-
fragettes, it is believed, hurt the
cause and led many to vote
against 1t who otherwise might
have viewed the bill with favor.
Sir Edward Gray, advocating the
bill, however, alluded TO the mill
tant acts of the suffragettes as the
inconsiderate action Of q small
minority, and said they should not
influence members who were sup
posed to have a degree of intelli-
gence to be uninfluenced by such
matters.
