LONDON, May 16.-Three more
harmless suffragist bombs" were
found today in various parts OF Lon
don. They contained powder and

could not have exploded under any
circumstances. The police are at a
.oss to know whether the suffragists
themselves are having fun with
Scotland Yard and the public, or
whether boys and ants are perpe-
rating hoaxes on the militants.
The Suffragette, the weekly organ
Of the Women's Social and Political
union, appeared as usual today, and
its contents showed most careful
editing to AVOID anything that the
home Office might think 'inciting."
No move was made to suppress the
issue. The paper was not printed
either by Sydney Drew or the Ma
tional Labor Press.

no mechanical arrangements by
which they could have been ex-
