British Isles Are Hard Hit BY
Suffragettes Campaign of
Violence.
FEAR ASSASSINATION OF
OFFICIALS BY FANATICS
Public in Constant Dread of
Tragedy From the Frenzied
Fighters for Votes.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-Suffragette vio-
fence has cost the people of the British
Isles $250,000 not counting the enor-
nous drain upon the government for
the prosecution of militant women and
the added cost Of safeguarding cabinet
ministers, government buildings and
the postal system. Altogether it was
estimated today that the militant wom-
en- have run up a bill of $350O00 in
their long campaign of violence for suf-
frage.
Early today a lone suffragette march
ed up to the Labor Exchange building
and with her trusty hammer smashed
nearly all the windows.
At the same time other militants
were diligently destroying property in
mail boxes in this city and other cities.
Despite the vigilance of the police,
women succeeded in pouring destruc-
tive acid into dozen or more letter
boxes. destroying the mail matter
within.
As result of the threat OF the suf-
fragettes to destroy historical relics,
including the magma cfarta, the con-
stitution of England. Henry McKenna
has placed official inquisitors at the
doors of the museum.
The public is in constant dread that
something tragic will be done. because
militant women, Under Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst, "Generar Drummond and
Mrs. Despard, have been worked up TO
1anatical state of frenzy by the i'm
passioned speeches Of their fiery lead
ers. 1t is greatly feared that ultimately
some hysterical suffragette will resort
to actual assassination in the disor-
dered belief that she will be mar
tyred"
