MRS. Emmeline Pankhurst, the mil
liant British suffragette, is free to en-
teri the United States, says WASH
ington dispatch. The Ellis Island
boards order of deportation was re-
'veEsed yesterday after President Will
son had conferred on the celebrated
case with Secretary Wilson and the
hearing had been concluded before I'm
migration Commissioner Caminetti.
Secretary Wilson announced at the
cphclusiofi OF the conference with the
president that Mrs. Pankhurst would
bf admitted on her own recognizance
With the; Understanding that she would
depart at the end of her lecture en-
gagement Secretary Wilson declared
the president had discussed the case
briefly with him and both had agreed
Mrs. Pankhurst should be admitted.
The president feels there Is no element
of doubt as to whether her acts con-
stituted moral turpitude. The decision
of the president and Secretary Wilson
was communicated to Commissioner
Caminetti, who issued formal order
Of release. The president felt that the
law had a flexible Interpretation and
that 1t was largely a question Of pol

I'm, a preliminary brief in behalf Of
To- arry 20 hA nvaf
to Gov. Felker,e says a Concord, N. H,
dispatch Of Saturday, 1t Is declared
that Thaw has been detained under
arrest nearly six, weeks on defective
reQuisition petition supported by the
allegation Of an Indictment which new
er existed and during all that time no
indictment has been obtained. The
brief questions whether the requisition
for Thaw's extradition is made in
good faith and whether the state Of
New York demands Thaw's return for
the purpose OF trying him for conspir-
acy or for the purpose of reincarce-
rating him in the Matteawan hospital
for the insane. IF 1t Is the latter pur-
pose which actuates New York." the
brief says, 1T is illegitimate and for
the governor Of New Hampshire to
honor the reQuisition would be illegal"
The brief then gives what 1t declares
to be the facts as to the attempt to in
dict Thaw..s In conclusion the brief
says: 1T is open to the governor Of
New Hampshire to make due inquiry
whether Thaw is indicted In New
York; and when the facts are ascer-
tanned due weight should be given in
considering the vital question OF the
good faith Of New York, to the fact
that up to the present time there new
er has been an indictment for Thaw In
New York" =.
Twenty-eight persons were killed
near Johannisthal, Germany last FRI
day in the explosion and fall Of Count
Zeppelin's latest dirigible balloon, the
L-II" The twenty EIGHT men repre-
sented the entire personnel of the ad-
miralty board which was to conduct
the final trial of the dirigble, looking to
its acceptance by the government as
new unit Of the German aerial navy,
the pilot and crew and invited guests
Every person that went aloft in the big
airship Is dead. Twenty-seven Of them
were Killed almost instantly by the ex-
plosion Of gas In the balloon or burned
to death as the flaming wreck fell to
the ground from q height Of 800 feet
and enveloped them. One man, Lieut.
Baron Won Bleut of the Queen Augusta
Grenadier Guards, q guest OF the ad-
miralty board, was extricated alive
from the ,sInass Of twisted wreckage.
His eyes were burned out and he suf-
fered other terrible hurts. Begging his
rescuers to kin him and end his suffer-
ings, he was taken to hospital where
he died Friday night. The LII" had
1t proved successful, would have been
attached to. the aerial corps OF the navy
which differ Fridays fatalities now has
only two men trained to command air
ships. The official report Of the acci-
dent says the explosion was due to the
ignition of gas in or above the forward
gondola, but not within the body of
the airship. The navy was not the
only sufferer through aviation acci-
dents, for three army officers were kill
ed in aeroplane fiights-Capt. Haese-
Ter, Lieut.. Koch and Sergt. Mantle.
The first direct result Of the con-
gressional investigation of campaign
expenditures came last Saturday when
the senate passed Senator Clapp's bill
prohibiting the sending of campaign
funds from one state to another. II
the house approves the measure 1t will
put a rigid limitation, not only upon
the activities of general political in
terests, but also upon the work Of such
organizations as the National Associa-
tion Of Manufacturers, the American
Federation of Labor and the National
Association of Woman Sufragettes.
The bill prohibits the carrying or send
ing of funds from one state to another
to be used in the election OF president,
vice president, presidential electors or
congressman. The senate today pass
ed the bill without debate. In previous
discussions 1t was made clear that it's
purpose was to prevent the financing
of campaigns in secret manner by
organizations or individuals who did
not come directly under the campaign
publicity laws. The proposed new law
would not prohibit the present work Of
national. political committees, so long
as they make public reports OF all con-
tributions received and expended.
Practically all the national committees
send contributions to the state com
mittees of their parties during a ma
tional election. It is believed the mea-
sure would curtail soliciting OF cam
paisn funds in money centres, and
greatly curb general campaign activt-
ties on the part of persons or organl-
Cations that might be indirectly inter-
iested in the outcome OF elections. A
further amendment Of campaign con-
vtribution laws-is proposed by Senator
%Sterling in a bill to prevent all cor
.porations from contributing to cam

now prohibited from contributing to
selection campaigns.

ecutive mansion at Albany, New York'
Saturday when several hunderd ad-
mirers OF. Governor Sulzer called to
present him with loving cup. Rain
fell while the marchers were en- route
to the mansion. Mr.. Sulzer started
to shake hands with all his callers
but he never completed the task:
They crowded around him and refused
, to move. Some one said few words
of consolation to him only to be inter.
rupted by Mrs. Sulzer: THE action OF
the court Is the least Of our troubles,
she said. The crowd began to cheer
'.we'n have you back next year,
BILL" one man yelled. Another en-
thusiast cried, "Hurrah for the next
president of the United States" where
upon there was more cheering
Cheers for Mrs. Sulzer followed.
Chester c. Platt, Mr.. Suffers secre-
tary, read a speech, assuring MI
Sulzer that he had been removed be-
cause he would not obey the bosses.
