SENTENCED TO THREE YEARS.
Mrs. Pankhurst Will Refuse to Eat,
and Thus Shorten Term.

London, April 3.-Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst, the leader of the militant
suffragettes, was to-day found guilty
and sentenced to three years penal
servitude at the Old Bailey sessions,
on the charge of melting persons to
commit damage.
The trial required two days. The
jury added to its verdict Of guilty a
strong recommendation for mercy,
and when the judge pronounced the
heavy sentence of three years, the
crowd Of women in the court room
rose in angry protest.
ChccTcd by Crowd.
As Mrs. Pankhurst stood up in the
prisoners enclosure her symDathiz-
ers cheered wildly, and then filed out
of court, singing: "March On! March
On" to the tune of the "Marseil-
~laise."
Mrs. Pankhurst's closing address
to the jury lasted fifty minutes. She
informed the court hat she did not
wish to cali any witnesses. In her
address she frequently wandered so
far from the matter before the court
that the Judge ccnsured her.
Mrs. Pankhurst denied any mali
cious Indictment. Neither | nor the
other militant suffragcttes are wicked
or Malicious" she said.

CritiCiScS Laws.
Speaking with much feeling. Mrs.
Pankhurst tierccly criticised man
made laws, and said that the divorce
law alone was sufficient to Justify a
revolution Of the women.
In impassioned tones she declared:
"Whatevcr may be my sentence. I
will not submit. From the very mo-
ment | leave the court | will refuse
to eat. | will come out Of prison
dead or alive at the earliest possible
moment"
Justice Lusch, in summing up, told
the jury that Mrs. P~ankhurst's
speeches were an admission that she
had melted to the preparation Of IL
legal acts.
Mrs. Pankhurst almost broke
down when the jury pronounced it's
verdict. Leaning over the front of
the prisoners enclosure, she said:

CALUMET, Mich. Aug. 19.-General
p L. Abbey, who returned to Calu-
met yesterday after a conference with
Governor Ferris in Lansing, will at
once seek an explanation from John
II. Walker, representative OF the
mines ana metals department OF the
American Federation OF Labor, who
has publicly charged militiamen with
attacking young girls and asaulting
and beating strikers and their fami-
lies Until late last night Walker
could not be found
The general is determined to leave
no stone unturned in his effort to
show up" these charges, which are
universally branded as false. Both
townspeople and soldiers are highly
indignant. and a local paper said edt
torially that the responsibility for any
oyerstepping of authority on the part
OF the insensed militiamen could be
laid at Walkers door.
A large percentage Of the strikers
disapprove of the charges which, IL
is generally believed, were made as

Judge Alfred Murphy, OF Detroit

FURTHER PEACE PLANS
Special Envoy Lind Marking

Further Instructions

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1S.-While Of
ficial dispatches today quickly dispos
cd OF sensational war scare" reports
from Mexico City, the Mexican situa-
ton was made more tense through re-
retpt OF ward from Special Envoy Lind
that President Huerta had repected
the plan Of mediation upon which
President Wilson based his hope OF
restoring peace in Mexico.
Although IL was known that Huerta
rejected the mediation plan, officials
here had hope that this refusal to
consider IL was not final, since Envoy
Lind reported that he was in personal
touch with the head OF the de fact)
government There was a persistent
beHef among officials that with amend
ments some sort OF a mediation plan
might yet be effected. There was
so much conflict in dispatches today
that officials refused to discuss the
situation until complete authoritative
cables had been received from Mexico
City.
President Wilson received a cable
gram from Charde OShaughnessy
while he was at breakfast. II con-
tanned fiat denial, authorized by
President Huerta. of the report that
the de facto government had demand-

| The report that Huerta had severed
diplomatic relations created some per-
turbation In official Washington II
was not until the American embassy
at Mexico City had been communicate
ed with, and had forwarded the denial
that officials here relaxed their ten
sion.
They had feared a sinister motive
behind these apparently semi-officiai
and broadcast reports last night. The
dispatches from O'Shaughnessy and
Lind were laid before the cabinet by
the president. The formation Of 4
new Mexican policy to replace the ad-
ministration mediation plan was the
paramount and the most difficult ques-
tion before the president and his ad-
visers, today.
The administration was at loss to
understand the press dispatches sent
from Mexico City. last night In his
message to the president, which was
received early today. Shaughnessy
reported that the ''alarmist" reports
had been cabled back to him at 1
o'clock last night. He said that I'M

List Will Reveal Who Are Ac-
tive in Getting Offenders
Out of Cells
BUHR BLUNDERED,
GILLESPIE DECIDES
Reinstated Lieutenant Will Not
Lose Pay During Period of
Suspension

AS the result of his investigation,
Monday afternoon, into the practice
OF releasing minor offenders arrested
at night, Police Commissioner Giles
pie decided that hereafter an exact
record shall be- kept of all releases
so that he may know just what pris-
oners have been saved tn ncssity OF
spending a night in the cells and who
came TO their rescue.
The reinstatement OF Lieut. Buhr,
suspended for misnterpreting an or
der of the commissioner to mean that
women of the underworld could be re-
leased only on Aid. Barnetts order,
followed the decision of the head OF
the department that Buhr was guilty
Of nothing worse than serious blum
der.
Buhr explained that ha was under
the impression that no alderman could
issue releases for prisoners, even
though he stood sponsor for their ap.
pearance in court the next morning
When he ga wan order from the com
missioner that request from Aid
Barnett should be honored he drew
the mistaken inference that he was
favored In that respect.
IF | had ever ordered such spe
cial privilege TO Aid. Barnett, which
had not been extended to other alder
men, | would have rather resigned
than tried to explain my conduct 10
the public" said the commissioners. Il
am sure you are an honest officer and
had no reason for fayoring anyone or
bring the department into disrepute
For that reason | viii order you rein
stated without loss of pay"
Lieut.. Buhr was then dismissed
from the conference. and with Supt
Downey, Capt. Girardin. Chief of De-
tectives Palmer, and inspectors Lum-
bard and Downey, the commissioner
discussed the system of releases.
The commissioner discovered from
what was told him by the superinten-
dent that It has become an establish
ed custom for aldermen to Issue re-
quests for releases of prisoners
These prisoners are supposed TO ap-
pear In court the next day, The dis
cretionary power in regard TO their
release Is exercised by the night su-
perintendent. Lieut.. Buhr was acting
IN that capacity.
