QUIET TONGUE OF
COURT HOUSE BELL

The Now Castle County Levy Court
at It's meeting on next Tuesday will
have a peculiar application to con
sidor. II was learned today that a
very prominent citizen will apply to
the court TO prevent the tolling OF
the bell on the courthouse clock
tower. The reason assigned for this
application is that the bell annoys
hotel guests and private families near
the Courthouse during the night and
early morning hours. IL is claimed
further that the striking of the hours
is generally annoying to people using
the telephone aud especially IN max
ing long distance calls from the
Courthouse.

day than the same person would hear

LONDON, April 26-Three com

western railway train were burned
early today at Teddington station by
militant suffragists. The carriages
were empty. The fire was of oil
origin and an oil canister, found I'm
one Of the charred cars. which like
those found in trains, set afire several

IL was as a preventive measure that
the proceedings we're instituted
The suifragette had not done any
thing, he explained, for which they
could ask severe punishment, but
they wished to prevent her from do
ing anything dangerous, and TO this
end had invoked a statute centuries
old.
Il is the inhammatory speeches of
Miss Kenney that the government de-
sires to stop, Bodkin explained
and the formal charge, in the quaint
phraseology of King Edward Ill Isl:
That she is a disturber of the
peace. and is an inciter to others TO
commit divers crimes and misdemean-
ors, and is likely TO persevere in such
unlawful conduct and behavior and
that there is reason TO believe that
by reason of such apprehended con-
duct and behavior of the said defend
ant, Annie Kenney, further disturb
ances Of the peace and crimes and
misdemeanors are likely to be COM
mitted by divers women"
The maximum penalty to which
Miss Kenney is liable for her refusal
