where the sunragettes had advertised
mat mat they would form parade. In
stead small body, known because OF
their militant record as "Gsin women"
OF the Women's Social and Political
Union. burst from a private residence
on Hyde Park corner and forced their
way through the archway at the too
OF constitution Hill before the small
squad OF police on duty there had
time TO collect and resist them.
headed by Mrs. Pankhurst and Miss
sylvia Pankhurst the flying squad OF
women swept down Constitution Hill
towards buckingham palace. but
When half way along rhey met the
most mated enemy of the militants in
the person of Inspector Riley who
has charge of the suffragette detail
at the Scotland Yard police head
quarters.
The shock OF combat was short but
sharp and resulted in the arrest OF
many women who in the fighting used
clubs with a facility which betrayed
long training.
Women Arrested.
The roadway had just been sprink-
leo with water and many mounted
policemen were thrown. Their COM
rades on foot rolled with them in the
mud but eventually the strength OF

utes over thirty women including Mrs
Pankhurst had been placed under ar
rest while the others had been scat
tered into small groups.
One group. headed by Miss Sylvia
Pankhurst. reached point almost
across the drive from the palace
where mounted police surrounded the
women and placed Miss Sylvia and
several OF her comrades in custody.
The casualties were not numerous
consisting OF a few broken heads. but

SEE CAR HIT CHILD
Thousand N. G. P. Men Standing
Near When Little Girl Is
Struck at Gretna

Mt. Gretna. Aug. 11.-Several hun.
dred civilian bathers in Lake Cone.
WACO, together with fully n Thousand
National Guardsmen drilling on the
hillside near the lake and who were
standing lat rest" at the time, saw
an accident which befell five-year-old
Christine Lowell, a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John Lowell, of Lancaster
who was run down by the motor cal
on the narrow gauge railroad running
between Mt. Gretna Station and the
Hotel Conewago.
The child was walking along the
railroad tracks with an older sister,
near the lower end of the lake when
the motor car appeared on it's regular
run to the hotel. Christine hesitated
a moment and then started across the
tracks toward her sister who CHANGED
to be on the other side at that instant.
Karl Schmidt, a son of Jeweler ]. c..
Schmidt, of Cumberland street Leb-
anon, OWNED the purpose of the girl
ana put on his brakes to the limit, but
the tracks were slippery and the child
was caught. 1t so happened that the
girl was between the rails and when
the car struck her, she fell directly in
the middle and thus escaped with her
life, though her arm was mangled
under the wheels. She was carried to
the camp of Battery C, of Phoenix
vile, where DR.. Edwin S. Mullison, of
the First Medical Corps, n. G. p, gave
her attention, using parts of a soap
box as splints to set the broken bones,
as there were no regulation splints at
hand small enough to be of use. Lat
er the child was restored to her par
ents smiling and apparently happy,
though she did not appreciate how
seriously she had been injured.
MOtOrman Exonerated
Mr.. Schmidt, the motorman, was
exonerated from allie blame for tn
mishap after the father had heard the
stories of the accident from bystand-
ers who witnessed it.
This morning the troops went into
actual warlike manoeuvers in prepar-
alton for the big affair of the week
which is scheduled for tomorrow.

Mary Pickford will be seen at the
Palace on Wednesday in film produc-

play in which she formerly starred. She
takes the part of blind Juliet in love
with Charles MacLance, "a good little
DEVIL" both of whom believe in fairies.
But when Charles inherits his fortune
he goes away and forgets fairies and
Juliet and becomes a snob. He returns
when Mrs. MacMiche. who reared him,
is i'll, and is confronted by his con-
science in the form of the former
Charles whom Juliet knew. His con-
science wins the battle; the spirit of
the old Charles returns; he and Juliet
are reunited and live happily ever
after. The play is really children's
story, a type familiar on the stage to-
day, carrying in its lines a wonderful
moral for every grown-up-:Advertise
