PREMIER AsQU|TH
IS ASSAULT
Statesman Roughly Handled By
StaIwart Suffragettes.
ATTACKED ON GOLF LINKS.
Prime Minister'S Daughter Goes
To Fathers Assistance
and Uses Militant
Tactics.

Elgin, Scotland.-The British Prime
Minister was the object of an attack
in which his chiyalry restrained him
from adequately defending himself.
While he was golfng with his daugh-
ter on the Lossiemouth links two stall
wart suffragettes, who had quietly
come up to the green. sprang at him
suddenly
They knocked of his hat. grabbed
him by the clothing and dragged him
some distance over the ground.
The Prime Minister bore his rough
treatment complacently and refrained
from using force to make them desist,
while. they impaired to him their opin-
ion that he was q scoundrel and a
past master in the arts of Ananias
Miss Asquith, who was little dis
lance off when the suffragettes
pounced on her father, ran to his as
sistance and proceeded to apply mill
tant methods to the mi1itants.
The battle waked for only a few
moments when two detectives rushed
up and with .difficulty released Mr..
Asquith from the clutches of the suf-
fragettes.
The detectives took the woman to
the club lodge, where, after listening
to various opinions OF themselves
hardly less complimentary than those
they had, given 70 the Premier, they
were taken in a motorcar and driven
to the Elgin Police Station to the &C.
Compartment of much booing and hiss
ing and repeated cries of Let us get
at them; we will duck them in the
sea-"
At the station the women refused to
give their names or addresses.

APPLIED HYGIENE
IN |PP|NES.
Farther Advanced Than in This
Country.
METHODS VERY DIFFERENT.
Parents Carry Out Instructions OF
Health Once Because OF the
Children Schools Open While
Epidemic 10 Raging;

Buffalo, N. Y.-Practical and applied
hygiene is much farther advanced in
the Philippines than in the United
States, according to DR.. Allen j. Nc
Laughlin, surgeon of the United States
Public Health Service, who was one
of the speakers at the sessions Of the
fourth international congress on school
hygiene. Y
In this country" said DR.. Nc
Mclaughlin, eve are prone to over
look the enormous influence of school
children upon the hygiene of the
home. The children of poor, ill-edu-
Gated parents are often the inter
mediary through which the simple
gospel Of hygiere and disease pre-
vention reaches the parents. In the
Philippines, in many instances, 1t is
only because Of the children that the
parents carry out the instructions Of
the health officer
With an epidemic of contagious dis
ease existing there Is tendency In
most communities to close the schools.
In the Philippines, on the contrary, it
is the policy Of the bureau to keep
schools open because of their extraors
binary value in teaching the precepts
of disease prevention
Open-air schools and open school
rooms was the general topic Of the
day, and 1t was practically the
unanimous opinion Of the delegates
that children in rooms with windows
wide open, even during the winter
months, are UNNECESSARILY more
healthful and make more rapid prog
ress in their studies than under other
conditions.

London.-I am now definitely a

recently arrived here from Canada,
made the above statement.

developments in Mexico
General Diaz apparently is pleased
with the course of events in Mexico.
He said the contention that victoriano
Huerta's candidacy for the presidency
was barred by the Mexican constitu-
fion was quite correct. He declared
the fact that he was still an official
representative of the Mexican govern
ment debarred him from discussing
President Wilson's message or the
Mexican situation.

NEW YORK RULED AGAINST.
Successful Effort OF Fusitive's Attor.

Sherbrooke, Quebec Harry K Thaw
won three victories over the New York
state authorities and was locked in the
Sherbrooke jail, immune, for the time
being, from the Dominion immigration
authorities, after having received an
ovation from the townspeople OF
Shefbrooke that would have done
honor to prince OF royal blood.
So riotous was the scene in the Su-
perior Court when, at the morning SEES

to allow counsel representing New
York State to be party to the pro-
ceedings that the court subsequently,
warned spectators that repetition of

that he, as the PROVINCES chief officer
of the crown, may be able to open the

Points Thaw Won.
The three points in which Thaw's
lawyers were successful in their first
legal skirmish we're:
1. New York State was denied the
right to be party to the proceedings
in court.
2. Counsel for the State failed in
their efforts to have Thaw arraigned
before magistrate and the commit
ment on which he is held quashed.
This would have released him to the
immigration officers.
8. Judge Globensky granted the plea
of Thaw's counsel for discontinuance
of the writ Of habeas corpus which
might have brought about his release.
This remedied strategic blunder
made last week by Thaw's attorneys,
who apparently did not realize then
that in seeking their clients release
they were playing into the opposition's
hands.

distinguished gathering of diplomats,
representatives of peace societies and
people prominent in the arts and
sciences.
Abraham van Karnebeek, president
Of the Carnegie Foundation, with a
brief speech, handed the palace into
care Of It's appointed custodians. He
eulogized the interest shown In the
peace movement by the Queen and
emphasized the significance of the in

particularly thanks for the generosity
Of Andrew Carnegie. Jonkheer Reneke

is taken to imply that its bell will
shortly ring in the inauguration of
eternal peace'-Itwo words which are
always out of place except when they
are inscribed over the gate OF GEM
etery. Yes, If expectations do not at

CROP CONDITIONS
MUCH IMPROVED
Timely Rains Have Proved Very
Beneficial.
AHEAD OF LAST YEAR.
The Corn Situation In the West
sriohtens Considerably, Al
though the Crop Will
BE Short One.
Washington.-"C Crops are looking

Washington Crops are looking
mp"
This, in nutshell, is the 1913 crop
outlook, according to the Department
OF Agriculture. Crop conditions are
officially deemed generally satisfacs
tory. American land and the Ameri-
can farmer are proving their ability to
''come back"
Crop conditions in the last two
weeks have greatly improved said
DR.. Galloway. ESPECIALLY is this true
In the West. where timely rains have
helped materially. The rains have
particularly aided the corn crops; they
have had beneficial effect, too, on
grasses which will furnish fall feed
for, live stock. This is an important
item, as the harm by drouth to the
corn crop decreased the supply of
fodder.
"In the South crop conditions have
been generally favorable during the
last fortnight. In certain parts Of the
South corn and cotton will go ahead
of last years crop. This is true in the
western portion Of the southern belt,
for instance, in Texas, etc.
Rains have materially hefped the
corn crop, although it will be short
considerably, of course. Farmers in
many sections who expected half
crop or no crop at all are now con-
Gdent of better results. Kansas and
Nebraska were hit hardest by the
drouth. but for 10 days, practically,
rains have broken this dry spell.
Information at hand of crops al
ready harvested indicate the best
wheat crop in years, especially in
Kansas, where the crop of this staple,
20 q certain extent, will make up for
the loss of corn by drouth.
The oat crop will be good.
1--WE have not full information as to
the spring wheat crop, but the winter
wheat crop, now harvested, is most
satisfactory.
"There will probably be a short
crop of potatoes as compared with last
year, which was an exceptional year"

SISTER DEAD
BROTHER DYING
George Iamison and Miss Jane I,
JamisOn Take BichIoride.
.AMYSTERYATRADNOR.
Enough Has Become Known To Show
That the Tragedy Was the Re-
suit OF a Well Considered
Plan To Commit Suicide.

Radnor, Pa.-Coroner Neville, OF
Montgomery county, is probing the
mysterious death of Miss Jane Jami-
SON, who died at the Bryn Mawr Hos
pital Of bichloride poisoning. Her
brother, George Jamison, aged So, a.
retired millionaire banker, is also at;
the hospital, still unconscious, and de-
spite the efforts Of the physicians
there he has not rallied from the time
he was taken to the institution.
Every effort to suppress the facts
was made by the hospital authorities
and DIR. James Tyson, emeritus pro-
lessor of medicine at the University
Of Pennsylvania, who is relative Of
the Jamisons, and who was called in
as soon as the dying banker and his
sister were found, but Coroner Neville.
who heard Of the case in roundabout
way. started an investigation imme-
diately, and has asked for a state
ment why he was not informed of the
death officially.
So far the evidence of the servants
would tend to show that the death of
the sister of the banker and the mil
lionaire's own condition was the re-,
suit of well-laid plan.
The tragedy was discovered at four
o'clock, when one of the servants re-
turned to the house and found Miss
Jamison apparently lifeless and her
brother unable to recognize any one
about him, but still alive.
Possessed of a large fortune and
connected with many prominent fam
lilies, the Jamisons were important
figures in society. The estate occu-
pied by them is one of the finest in
Radnor. It includes many acres, and
overlooks pretty valley dotted with
the homes of the wealthy.
Mr.. Jamison amassed large for
tune and retired from business, and
both he and his sister inherited for
tunes.
It is also stated the Jamisons have
brother in Paris with whom they
had not been on good terms for many
years.
