MOVEMENT SHE THREATENED WAS FlASCo WHEN POLICE
 AND PUBLIC INTERFEREp.
MEANS DEFEATED MILITANTS
Such Hostility Was Shown by the People That This Time the Police Had to Go to the Aid of the Women to Protect Them From Violence.

London, June 1O-sylyia Pank- hursts boast that her East End docker army would fight for her pro- tection has proved to be without avail.
 The procession which she organ ized tonight to march on Premier Asquith at Westmlustor turned out a fiasco and the militant leader again is in Holloway jail.
 Strong condemnation of militancy by phe Women's Liberal Federation today is considered indicative of the waning of "The Cause" Home Secretary McKenna had an audience with the king at Bucking- ham palace tonight with the object. 1t is believed, of acquainting the king with the measures the government is taking to defeat the militant agita- | ton.
 At the centenary ball at Albert Hal tonight a woman Who attempted to interfere with pageant was | eected. Serious disorders occurred at Portsmouth, where travelling par 1 ties of suffragettes met with sucE hostility they had to be protected by the police.
 Their platforms were overthrown and they were chased by a mob which threw missiles at them.
 The proposed visit to Premier As quiuh was arranged some days ago by Miss Pankhurst and other militant leaders, and it was decided that she should be carried shoulder high in the procession, as she was not con sidered strong enough to bear the strain of the journey.
 Before the procession had gone a mile Miss Pankhurst was arrested for the eighth time since she was sen tenced 10 six months Imprisonment for melting language in Hyde Park. She was conveyed to Holloway jail The procession struggled on without leader before it was dispersed by the police.
 Under the leadership of George Lansbury. former socialist member of the house of commons, @ deputa- ton of women proceeded to parlia- ment, where they were received by ?. II. Illingworth, the chief liberal whip, after having been rebuffed in attempts to see the premier.
 The demonstration was organized for dramatic effect A crowd of ten thousand persons gathered at s o'clock where two processions were to join. Miss Pankhurst addressed the crowd from an upper window, saying it might be the last time she would have such a privilege.
 But if I sacrifice my life in this cause" she said, it will not have been in vain if you will carry on the fight in the same spirit
 The procession then formed. Headed by Rev. Mir. Wills, Miss Plank hurst was borne on a litter. The procession started under escort of mounted and foot police. The crowds  grew steadily but the police had laid their plans carefully and when the procession had arrived at a point where traffic compelled it to divide sharp command rang out. The street was quickly cordoned by police ! and before her supporters were aware of what had happened Sylvia Rank- hurst was under arrest and was being whisked away in a taxicab to jail
 The women reformed their ranks but made slow progress. Students attempted to interfere with them and created disturbances but were foiled by the police, who poured in in such numbers all along the route they were as numerous as those in the procession. There was little enthusi. asm among the marchers and the openly expressed hostility of the populace dampened the ardor of the demonstration SO that by the time 1t reached tho Strand the police had little difficulty In dispensing it.

 Miss Iankhurst was the only miii' tant taken into custody IN
