Trying Suffragettes.
OUTRAGES HURT CAUSE
Evidence to That Effect Given at Hear.
/ ing of Militant Women on Trial in
London-Postoffice Employees Tell
OF Damage to the Malls.

London, May ia businesslike
bomb addressed to Henry Curtis Ben
nett, the police magistrate who is
hearing the charges against the suffra-
gette leaders, was delivered by a let
ter carrier at Bow street police court.
The package was marked "immedi-
ate" but, disliking the looks of it, the
cautious court officer took it outside
and plunged it in pail of water.
When the package was opened it
WAS found to contain a tin tobacco
box bound with wire and filed with
gunpowder, shot and cartridge. At
ltached to the cap end of the cartridge
was a nail which, If 1t had been
struck, would have fired the bomb
and exploded its contents.
Striking evidence of the extensive
operations of the militant suffragettes
cause of the outrages committed by
them was given on the resumption of
the hearing at Bow Street police court
OF the charges against the suffragette
leaders. They are charged with in
fringement of the malicious damage
to property act.
Letter carriers and postoffice off,
Icials testified as to the great damage
done to the mails by chemicals and
other fluids poured into the public let
ter boxes.
The former business manager of the
Suffragette testified regarding the re-
sponsibility of the various prisoners
for the different departments of that
newspaper. He explained that his
services were dispensed with by the
militant society because Mrs. Emme-
line Pankhurst thought 1t better that
only women should conduct the paper
AS to the loss of circulation by the
Suffragette after militant acts had
been committed the witness said that
at first 10000 copies were printed, but
the sales were only 1900. The circu-
lation then dropped to $500, but 1900
copies were circulated in other ways.
Just before last Christmas he told
Mrs. Pankhurst that this falling off
was due to the letter box raids, but
she shrugged her shoulders and said
that could not be possible because
when women were most militant they
wefe most successful.

Big Source Of Revenue to
Steel Corporation.
ANOTHER REPORT IS MADE
Bureau of Corporations Submits Re-
suits Of Investigation and Calls At
tentlon to Methods Employed in
Covering Up Heavy Earnings.

Washington, May 15.-Iron and
steel manufacturing companies real
lie enormous profits and hide them
under cover of subsidiary concerns,
according to the bureau of corpora
tions. Part of the report of the bu-
reau's exhaustive investigation into
the steel industry was submitted to
President Wilson by Acting Commits
sioner Francis Walker Parts 1 and
2 of the bureaus report were sub
mitted during the Taft administra-
tion by former Commissioner Her.
bert Knox Smith.
A discussion of the vast difference
between book costs" and met costs"
marks the latest report, figures being
presented to demonstrate that iron
and steel manufacturing companies
usually include in their statements
of cost and production large profits
paid subsidiary ore and transporta-
tion concerns.
For Bessemer steel rails, for in
stance, the report states that the
average book cost of the United
States Steel corporation was $21.53,
while the actual net cost, excluding
intercompany profit on transporta-
ton and material, was only 1857.
Similar differences were shown in
manufacture of other steel products.
The report is critical of the ex-
tremely low ratios of operating ex-
penses to gross earnings of the steel
corporations two railroads in the
lake ore mining district in 1910,
which was 80 per cent for the Du-
luth, Missabe and Northern railway
and 36.5 per cent for the Duluth and
Iron Range railroad. The average
ratio for all the railroads of the
country, according TO the report, was
66 per cent Between the two lake
roads, the report points out, there is
no competition.
Mr.. Walker, in his letter of sub
initial, declares the data gathered to
''be of great value with regard TO va
rious large questions of public policy
and national welfare, such as rea-
sonable prices, industrial efficiency,
ownership and control of natural re-
sources. relations of common carriers
to manufacturing enterprises, and
tariff legislation

Plans and Documents Miss
ing Many Months.
NO CLUE IS DISCOVERED
Detectives Claim the Publicity Given
the Matter viii Hamper Their
Work-Ssid No Foreign Nation Has
Been Involved So Far.

Washington, May 15.-Detectives
investigating the theft of plans for
the electrical wiring of the dread
nought Pennsylvania declared that
publication of the leak" probably
would hamper their work and might
prevent a solution of the problem.
None OF the clues so far developed, it
is said, definitely involves any for
eign nation.
The fact that the ordnance and
steam engineering bureaus for many
months have been missing plans and
documents relating to American ves-
vels and their armament has created
alarm among officials, although none
of the missing papers. Secretary DAN
iels declared, was important or con-
tanned secrets of advantage to for
eign nations. Some say the losses
were the result of carelessness Of
clerks, but the investigating forces of
the government continued to endeav-
or to unrayel the mystery.
The second set of plans of the new
dreadnought Pennsylvania, stolen
from the bureau of steam engineer
ing, were taken between the evening
OF Saturday. March ". and the fol-
lowing Monday. The plans were du-
plicates of those stolen March 4.

Chicago, May 15.-Plans for a man.
moth municipal underground garage
beneath Grant park. which fronts on
the lake of the city's downtown dis

rison. They provide for the concrete
housing of automobiles, each section
to be constructed between east and
west streets, to cost s125,0OO and ac-
commodate 225 machines.
I'VE are planning to spend some
$6,000,000 to widen Michigan avenue, /"
said the mayor. The present system
OF parking automobiles in the boule-
ward practically ruins 1t from the ar
tistic standpoint. II is ridiculous to
expend an enormous sum in improy-
ing the thoroughfare and then use It
as public garage"

"To be honest is more than to re- Srains from stealing another mans purse, more than paying the exact number of dollars you owe. Honesty means far more than not defrauding other people financially. It means nothing less than not defrauding your. self by your own prejudices and 1uog. ments. It means dealing fairly and SQuarely with yourself; looking at yourself with the same eyes with which you dissect the conduct of your lSsociates."-Clara K Rayliss.
