attempt to hold their regular Sunday
meeting.
The women, however wisely refrained

men who declared themselves to be

|ment
The police had been advised that the
meeting would be held and a strong
force patrolled the park and adjoining
streets. The crowd finally became
weary and dispersed. An officer, who
has had long experience in handling
mobs said that 1t was good thing the
women did not appear. as the men were
in angry mood because of the burning
of the fine country residence of Lady
Amy White, widow of Field Marshal
Sir George White, the hero of Lady
smith
Although Lady Whites house fortu-t
nately was empty, this act of incendiar-
ism has caused a more bitter feeling
against the militant suffragettes than
any previous crime.
Castle Closely Guarded
Windsor castle, where the court has

which has always heretofore been open

be forcibly elected.
The women have promised to make
demonstrations at all the meetings in
connection with the conference, declar-
ing that the laborites who are supposed
to be supporters of womansuffrage are
really traitors, as they will not force
the government to give women the

BOMB DESTROYS
TENEMENT BUILDING
Five Story Building Torn to
Pieces in New York by
Explosion

New York, March 23.The fiftieth bomb
set off in this citya since January / ex-
ploded in the lower East Side today with
greater force than any Internal machine
placed by Black Hand operators within
memory OF the police. The lower part of
a five story tenement building was badly
wrecked, and there WAS a panic when the
scores of tenants in The upper stories,
who had been thrown from their beds
by the shock, found their exit blocked
by great hole torn in the second floor
hallway. Several persons were painfully
injured. A baker near whose apartment
the bomb was placed denied he had re-
ceived threatening letters.
Eighty-three bombs were exploded in
Manhattan and Bronx boroughs during
1912. At the present rate the record Of
explosions for the current year will be
more than 100.
~ Two other bomb explosions on the East
Side. one of them in a building almost
next door to the tenement ba-iy damaged
a rev hours before, occurred tonight,
bringing the total to 50. Considerable
damage was done in each case, but no
one was injured.

The casual reader of newspapers has
little conception of the care which the
state is exercising in its probe of the
convict department, in its effort to reveal
the ghost of shame in all its horrid naked
ness.
1t is generally known, true enough, that
witnesses are being examined, and that
testimony. day by day, is being adduced
in an effort to learn the extent to which
alleged crookedness has been carried, and
to find the man on whose shoulders the
bulk of the stigma should be placed.
But it is not generally known that in
addition TO the open and public probe.
there is activity on the part of every other
agent of the state. Every man is on

he can easily find the youthful ehaperone

day to avoid the fashionable churches of
Washington and motored out beyond the
capital to the Eastern Presbyterian
church.

President and Mrs Wilson and their three
years of age, who brought to church

the service she whispered to her mother,
and then shyly reached over to the pres

Wilson gaiy decorated paper napkin
with the precious egg inside. Miss Ill
eanor received 1t with smile. and handed
il to the President, who looked at the
name written In a ehild's hand on the
napkin, glanced around TO where Miss
Gundaker sat and bowed his thanks with
smile that made her blush with happi-
ness and confusion.

day as to where he expected to Worship

rade but avoided also the crowds about
the better known churches.
The Easter paraders enjoyed almost
perfect weather. Members of the diplo-

known in society turn n out to join in the

Is Thinly Yelled

London. March 2S.-Austria today de-
livered ia cettinje a thinly veiled ulti-
matum to Montenegro, threatening that
if the civil population of Scutar were
not allowed to leave the city the dual
monarchy would take coercive measures
for compliance with its wishes.
Italy took similar action but without
expressing any threat and Russia, the
friend of Montenegro, advised the Mon
tenegrin government to accede to Aus
trials demand.
Austria is sending steamer to Scutari,
evidently expecting that this her second
request for the release of the civilians.
will not be refused, and has also made
clear what she required in connection
with the other incidents of the dispute
between the two countries.
In the meantime the representatives of
the powers at the Balkan capitals are
busy submitting to the governments of
the allies a note suggesting terms as a
basis for peace. The note has not yet
been presented to Turkey, as one of the
ambassadors has failed to receive his in
structions. The allies have been con-
sulting with regard to the note and the
public and press of the Balkan states
do not receive the suggestions with any
favor.
News from Montenegrin headquarters
indicates that King Nicholas believes the
fall of Scutari is imminent. He is In
command of the combined Servian and
Montenegrin army, numbering $1,000. From
the same source it is reported that the
city has already been partly destroyed,
ali the large buildings having been dam
aged. Famine prevails and it is expect
ed many Austrians and Italians have
been killed.

For more than four hours no word

Terre Haute, Ind, suffered severe

an unknown number were over

Scutari
NOTE COUCHED IN
THREATENING TERMS
Demands Catholics and Other Denom-
inations Be Restored to Former
Faith-Mediation Commits
sion Proposed

Cettinje, March c3.-It Is semi-on
cinIIy announced that Austria presented
an ulfimatum to Montenegro today de-
mnndins a suspension of the military
operations around scufsrI until the en-
tire civil population has left the town.
In the event OF refusal. Austria Will
resort to arms against Montenegro.
In previous note which was couched
in threatening terms. Austria also de-
manded that all Catholics and Mohame-
dams in Jakova and the surrounding dis
trict who have been converted since the
Monteneg grin occupation. must be re-
stored to their former faith.
With view to proving that the con-
versions in question were not attended
by any ccmpulsion, Montenegro replied
that she proposed to. appoint a COM
mission. on which, besides the Monte
negrin members, there should also be
one representative of Austria and an
other of Italy or some other great pow
er. Montenegro at the same time stat
ed that she could not allow the soy
ereign right of Austria to be exercised
in territory occupied by Montenegro.
Refuses Proffered Terms
Austria refused to accept the answer
TO this note. on the ground that its
wording was not "seemly." In gov
ernment circles here the conviction is
expressed that Austria refused not on
account of the form of the reply, but
because of its contents.
The official journal publishes COM
munication in which it is said that the
Catholics and Mohammedans of Ipelx
and Jakoya expressed the wish to join
the orthodox church, but were dlssuad-
ed by the Montenegrins, who advised
them to exercise patience. The move
ment spread, however, as the people
were unable to understand why they
should not return to the old faith of
which they had preserved the usages.
When they repeated the demand, their
wish was granted.
The priest Palic the communication
exercises which were arranged for in
citing the Albanians against Monte
negro. He was being taken to Ipek
for trial when he attempted to escape
and was shot.
