LONDON, Feb. 3.--No British rub
ers OF modern times were ever so
closely guarded as were King George
and Queen Mary, when they motored
today up from Windsor castle for the
pre-Lenten court at Buckingham pal
ace. The militant suffragrettes were
the reason for the unusual
vigilance, but the real cause, II was
limited, was to guard against a pos
sible Indian plot.
For sometime both their majesties
and the Prince OF Wales have been
under the constant surveillance of de-
tectives. Since the attempted assas-
sination at Delhi Of the Indian vice
roy, Lord Hardinge. the guardians
OF the king have been on the alert.
II was q possibility that agents OF
the same malcontents who inspired
the native attack on Lord Hardinge
might make an attempt In London.
Indicative of the extreme caution
was the slowness Of the journey. Ii
Is II miles from Windsor TO Bucking-
ham and the royal automobile con-
sumed one -.our and 10 minutes In
making the run. There was a pilot
car filed with Scotland Yard detec-
lives. and another carload OF them
brought up the rear. Detectives also
were In the car containing the king
and queen.
Every inch Of the roadway was IN
spected, to see that suffragettes nae
scattered no broken glass TO puncture
the royal tires.
The Journey was safely made and
a large crowd gathered at the Buck
ingham gates to cheer the soyer-
eigns.
The frst levee will be tomorrow for
men only, and the first court will be
held Friday night. The functions
will be under the most careful pre-
cautions, and women guests, TO guard
