brickbats, don't know whether to
laugh or cry. But some of them are
frightened all TO pieces over the like
lihood of Mrs. Pankhurst's advocating
sticking hatpins into members of CON
gress and throwing red pepper into
President Wilson's eyes.
As for Mrs. Pankhurst herself, she's
no doubt very happy. For she's bound
to get an enormous amount of atten-
ton in America, and she enjoys the
spotlight more than anything else, ex-

In America, some are happy be-
cause of Mrs. Pankhurst's coming
and some aren't. 1t is said Harry
Thaw and his wife Evelyn are quite
crestfallen. They have been In the
spotlight quite a while now, and the
arrival of the militant one from Eng
land with her smoking bombs and
little brown jug of Ritroglycerine will
be likely TO relegate them to the rear
of the stage, where the shadows lie
deep.
Vaudeville managers are happy over
the prospect of getting Mrs. Pank-
hurst for an act Policemen who
haven't much TO do, but who are very
conscientious and want to earn their
salaries, are happy because they think
now maybe thereII be something do

found intelligent argument and gentle
persuasion much more effective in the
vote-winning crusade than bombs and

The announcement that Mrs. Emme-
line Pankhurst, who is the mother, the
grandmother and all the other rela-
lives of militant English suffragism,
is to spend the fall and winter months
in America, has caused various emo
tions TO surge in the breasts of var
ious people.
English militants, of course, are
sorry to lose their leader. With her
in the forefront of their serried ranks,
they'd attempt anything. Let her but
say the word and they'd start out 10
sweep London into the sea, blow up
the navy, annihilate the army and
turn the country over TO the king Of
the Cannibal islands.
But IL Mrs. Pankhurst's followers
are gloomy and downcast, English
statesmen are happy enough to make
the general average of joy very high
in England. II is said that Premier
AsQuith, Chancellor Lloyd-George and
Foreign Minister Grey meet every
morning and, dancing madly about in
a circle, sing songs of thanksgiving
They have been growing young so fast
since Mrs. Pankhurst's announcement
that their parents contemplate putting
them back in long dresses.
King George, too, is happy. The
fear always haunted him that Mrs
Pankhurst would catch him out some

Special Judge Receives Report of
Grand Jury Which Adjourns.

Judge William Reed, of Paducah
appointed by Governor James B. Nc
Creary as a special judge to recon
vene court which was adjourned last
week by Judge Robert l.. Stout, on
account of the death of his brother
in-law, Mr.. Harry Offutt, in Boston,
Mass, arrived in this city Tuesday
morning and reconvened the session

MANSLAUGHTER VERDICT.
Newt. Arnold Convicted Of Staying
Harry Bailey.

The jury in the case of the Com
monWealth VS.. Newton Arnold, of
Bourbon, for the murder of Harry
Bailey in Cynthiana on January n,
last, returned verdict Of manslaughter
in the Pendleton Circuit Court We'd
nesday. The case was taken to Fal-
mouth on a change of venue granted
by Judge Fryer in the Harrison Cir
cult Court on March 6 last. The trial
was begun Monday morning and jury
was empaneled that day and the TAX
ing of testimony begun.
The jury was as follows: r. M.
Fields, F. M. Barnhill, George Dance,
G.. M. Davis, c.. w. Wells, G. w. Hen
bricks, J. F. Marquardt, o. M. Flor
ence, Elmon Young and Edward Col
| bert.
The Commonwealth charged that
Arnold was the aggressor throughout
the trouble, which arose over the at
| tempted collection from Arnold of a
claim given to Bailey as attorney.
The Commonwealth witnesses testified
that Arnold called Bailey a vile name
and struck him, thus provoking the
fight that followed.
On the other hand, the defense con
tended that Bailey accosted Arnold or
the street with the staement that
Arold had not settled the debt In the
fight that followed Arnold claimed
that he shot in self-defense, as hi
feared he was in danger of beinI
choked to death
The case went to the jury at 81
Tuesday night and the verdict wa
rendered at 1918 o'clock Wednesda,
: morning.
A motion for a new trial was mad
before Judge Pryor who Oyerruled il
Arnold's attorneys will carry the cas-
to the Court of Appeals.

handling him like child, despite
the fact that Palzer outweighed
him by 18 pounds.
Al Palzer stopped off in Chica-
go yesterday long enough to put
up the old cry that the referee
was wrong" to stop his bout with
Luther McCarty,- According to
Al, he was not badly hurt and
could easily have lasted two
rounds more. From Palzer's pic
lures taken at the ringside, with
his face cut and bruised, his claim
that McCarty's blows did not
hurt sounds ludicrous. The big
Iowan's face is still pulled from
the beating he received. Al is for
running right over to England
and taking another smash at
Bombardier Wells.
Frank Chance, who arrived on
the same train with Palzer, wit
messed the latter's defeat by Nc
earthly. Chance says it was a
punk fight, with Palzer wild and
uncertain in his swings. Chance
also saw the Ritchie-Wolgast
fight, when the lightweight title
changed hands, and his verdict
was that Ad had the better of the
milling until the foul blow was
struck, giving Richie the cham
pionship.
Foxy Frank Chance reconsid-
cred his decision to retire from
baseball for one year after his
conference with Owner Farrell of
the New York Highlanders yes
terday.
When Chance arrived IN Ctira-
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-01-08

ducements the New York presi-
dent offered were not made pub
lie after the meeting, but Chance
said Farrell had talked Of big
things he never expected.
The two Franks met again this
morning, and if necessary further
concessions were to be made to
Chance. He will be the manager
of the Highlanders next year.
What the salary will be is a ques-
ton. When Chance reached here
he knew Farrell would give him
$4,000 a year and 5 per cent of
the profits of the club. AS he then
refused to sign, and later changed
his mind, Farrell's bait must have
been increased. One rumor was
that the P. L. would be paid
SIS, 900 a year for a five-year con
tract.
Ban Johnson and President Co.
miskey of the White Sox took a
hand in the oratory today. Each
persuaded the P. L. that the
American League was the only
decent league to work in, and he
could not withstand their argu-
ments.
Reports that the orange crop of
California had been ruined by
frost may have had something to
do with Chances change of front.
Now that he is to be with the
Cubs, Roger Bresnahan says the
National League pennant will be
cinch for the West Siders.
Roger adds that a prospect of cut
