 Wash1ngton-FiVe thousand Wom marching in the women suffrage pc ant practically fought their way ft by foot up Pennsylvania aven through surging mob that completely defied the Washington police, swamp ed the marchers and broke their little procession into little companies. The women, trudging stoutly along under great difficulties, were able to com plete their march only when troops of cavalry from Fort Myer were rushed into Washington to take charge of Pennsylvania avenue. No inaugura- tion has produced such scenes, which, in many instances amounted to noth- ing less than riots.
 Later in Continental Hall, the wom- en turned what was to have been a suffrage demonstration into an indig- nation meeting in which the Washing ton police were roundly denounced for their inactivity, and resolutions were passed calling upon President-elect Wilson and the incoming congress to make an investigation and locate the responsibility for the indignities the marchers suffered.
 When the cavalry suddenly appear ed, there was wild outburst of ap- plause in the reviewing stand. The men in brown virtually brushed aside the mounted and foot police and took charge. In two lines the troop charg- ed the crowds. Evidently realiz.Hg that they would be ridden down, the' mobs fought their way back. When they hesitated, the cavalrymen, under the orders of their officers, did not hesitate. Their horses were driven into the throngs and whirling and wheeled until hooting men and women were forced to retreat. A space wf~ quickly cleared. /
 The parade in itself, in spite of delays, was a great success. Pas through two walls of antagonist manity, the marchers for the part kept their temper They
