PR0bLEMOF DEALING WITH SUFFRAGETTES BECOMING SERIOUS
English Authorities Facing MOment0us Question In Seeking to Quiet the
 Outrages

London, June 4.-How to deal with the growing menace of the militant suffragette agitation is becoming a problem of tremendous import not only for the government but for the com
 munity at large. Efforts of their well
 wishers to persuade the militants they are retarding the cause have been in
 vain; they are convinced nothing but force will achieve their aims and they
 have been applying themselves with renewed vigor to outrages Yesterdays list included the horse whipping of the deputy governor and
 medical officer of Holloway jail, the partial destruction of two valuable pictures an assault upon two editors,
 and the setting fire to a house at Bel l fast. And this takes no account of
 window breaking, upsetting of polit- ical meetings, disturbances in churches
 and at theatrical and concert perform ances.
 l The cost of police and other protec- | ton against threatened outrages is be- coming enormous.
 Elaborate precautions taken for the derby are being repeated for the com 1 ing Ascot race meeting. Strong fences have been erected and a special water supply has been installed in case Of fire.
 Prison-since the adoption of the hunger and thirst strike-has no long CT any terrors for the militants and judicial proceedings have been rem dered most farcical After a few days in prison, the convicted women are out again. planning and executing fresh outrages
 Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst now occu- pies house overlooking Buckingham palace. and the force of police within the palace grounds has been increased. The King has ceased his daily morn Ing canter in Hyde park because of militant activity.
 It Is Understood officers of the crown are considering whether action can be taken against the subscribers to the funds of the Women's Social and Political union It is suggested that If charge of criminal conspiracy can be sustained against these subscribers any person who has suffered damage would have the right of civil action against the subscribers.
 The suffragettes have strong finan- cial supporters In the very highest ranks of society.
 According to the Daily Mail the po- lice have recetvcd information of suf- fragette plot against Prince Henry. the kings third son. who Is at Eton. Scot land Yard has sent special detectives to Eton to guard the prince.

 List Is Raised

Montreal, June S.--The information that Lord Mersey. who presided over the British inquiry into the loss of the Titanic, Is to be a member of the royal commission appointed to inyes- tigate the Empress of Ireland marine disaster was received here with sat fsfaction today.
 As Lord Mersey was president of the Titanic Board of Trade court, it Is believed he will be similarly hon. ored when the royal commission meets here.

SENATE COMMITTEE URGES ARBITRATION
 OF TOLLS QUESTION
Action Comes Surprise When Vote Was Expected in Few Days, and Further Complcates Standardization
 Now Said to be in Favor of Proposition

which he said the democratic platform was not molasses to catch flies with,
 "I trust" he added, that it will not be out of place for me to suggest that 1t becornes the duty of the President to soc that the interAstss ols the Ameri- can people are not flies to be caught by somebody else's molasses.''
 Regard Platform As Pledge
 Declaring that he regarded a platform pledge as binding as the oath of office, Senator Vardaman consinued:
 The idea of any one human being, how ever great in his own conceit or wise in the estimation of others, imagining he has the power to absolve himself from such a pledge te substitute some theory of his own in place vr It, is heresy Tn political religion in the United States which is now being preached and prac- ticed by leaders of the democratic party for the first time. It may be treason to the crown. but I cannot approve it. I will not subscribe to such doctrine
 The Mississippi senator was severe in speech in January, 1913, he said, re-opened the tolls exemption question.
 Tt strikes me- he said, that the dem- ocratic party has fallen upon evil lines It's poverty of leadership has become pa thetfc, when 1t has to rely upon the distinguished senator from New York (Mr Root--that astute. resourceful untirinp lawyer whose professional career is dis tinguished by his successful defense oi predatory interests and the malefactors of great wealth. this erudite radical ex. ponent of the Hamltonian theory of gov. ernment
 Sanctity of Promise
 Tt is unfortunate indeed for the dem. ocratfc party that this man, remarkable distinguished and great in certain lines. should become the leader and be followed by the adherents of the party of Jeffer- son and Jackson-that party which has held sacred the rights of the people which stands for the preservation of the con stitution, the dignity of labor. the equal ity of Anglo-Saxon manhood, and the sanctity of the platform promise. /
 Think of Bryan and Root pulling to- gether shoulder to- shoulder for the moral and mental uplift of the American people and the salvation of our national honor. f'Does any senator imagine the repudia- ton of platform promises will be over looked and forgotten by the people because the distinguished senator from New York tells us it's the right thing for us to do {? Will the cogency of the appeal Of tbe distinguished senator so sway the puh- He mind that they will forget the ex- coriations which Secretary Bryan gave to the violators of platform promises in his memorable address to the Pennsyl- vania legislature on May 1S. 19l3?"

Washington, June 3.-Just when vote repeal bill seemed certain to come with in few days. the Senate foreign relations committee today surprised the Senate and complicated the situation by report ing favorably resolution designed to lead to the submission of the dispute with Great Britain to arbitration by an in ternational tribunal There was no dis cusson of the resolution, but it will be taken up before a vote Is reached on the repeal bill itself. and it's appearance before the Senate undoubtedly will lead to further debate.
 So far as administration leaders know President Wilson opposes arbitration un- less the repeal bill previously is passed and now word had come to the capitol tonight that he had changed his position. Many senators believe without the Pres ident's approval no arbitration proposal can receive a majority.
 During the debate today Senator Var daman. democrat of Mississippi vigor- ous opponent of repeal, criticised the Presidents position and attacked Senator iNoots oHe oi tue iedutiS ol liie oppoSitt side.
 Sutherland Resolution
 The Sutherland resolution provides for arbitration of the differences that have arisen between the tnsted States and Great Britain," under the -Paunce- fote treaty, fin the matter of payment of tolls which may be exacted for the use of the Panama canal' It Is proposed under the general arbitration treaty be- tween the two countries which provides for arbitration of disputes not affecting national honor, independence or vital in- terests at The Hague or by special tri- bunal. The resolution proposes that the President "be requesteon to open diplo- matte negotiations with Great Britain with view to making special agree ment for an impartial international tri- bunal for arbitration and for the sub mission to 1t of differences between the countries.
 The Senate quickeneu its pace today on the repeal bill and spent most of the seven hours it was in session in debate. If leaders carry out their plan to keep the measure constantly before the Sen- ate. even the arbitration resolution may not delay the vote longer than next week.
 Senator vardaman's speech attracted much attention He criticized President Wilson for failing to keep the pledges of the Baltimore platform. He referred to one of the Presidents speeches In

TO. REORGANIZE
WHEELOCK FIRM
KNOWN REAL. ESTATE
CORPORATION WILL BE HAsTI-
LY REoRGANIzED AS, ASIDE
FROM OWN RESOURCES, IT is
WELL BACKED FINANCIALLY.

It is the purpose Of the members of
Wheelock &~Wheelock, the well known
real estate corporation, M it's subsid-
larry corporation, the North Dakota
Land & Investment Co., to hastily eff
feet a reorganization Of these corpora
tons, for, aside from these companies
own resources. ample financial back
in the city so hat these concerns may
continue their business operations
without even temporary embarrass-
ment.
Evan S. Tyler was appointed re-
ceiVer Of Wheelock & Wheelock and
the North Dakota Land & Investment
CO., in district court late Saturday
afternoon. The members of the COR
%poration are among Fargo's most pop
ular and prominent business men,
and nothing but good wishes for a
speedy readjustment of their affairs
are heard in business circles generally
from all those Interested in their well
fare.
The appointment Of Mr.. Tyler as re-
ceiver Is a guarantee that the inter-
ests of all creditors and the companies
will be considered with the greatest
care. This suit only affects the two
companies mentioned and not any of
the other enterprises bearing the
Wheelock name, as the Wheelock
Auto Co, or the Pierce Wheelock Co,
which are separate corporations.
Following is a statement given out
bv c.. A. WheeIock:
Ever since 1910 our corporation
has been crippled by having too many
ties, due largely to the r-purchase
Of land. Mr.. Langdon, my other asso-
ciates. and myself have put all of our
own money into this business and
have given years of hard, faithful
work, towards building up the largest
real estate business in North Dakota.
The corporation Is solvent, and if
| will pay every dollar of it's indebted
ness n will have a surplus Of about
100000. We own some of the best
and most highly improved farm lands
in Montana and North Dakota, which
we are carrying on our books at a
very conservative figure and which
with our sales organization we believe
we a dispose of the coming year.
We are anxious to liquidate and pay
everyone. Our creditors are scattered.
One reason for our embarrassment Is
the fact that we have given such large
margins of security that it has tied UP
most of u available assets. For in
stance, where we have borrowed ST. 900,
we have usually put up $4,000 Of col
lateral. This leaves us without free
resources, and we are consequently
crippled. We hope our creditors will
join us in working towards a reor-
g~anizatior of our company, and they
can depend on our staying by the bus
mess and giving everything that is in
us towards working out its affairs ana
paying every dollar of its debts. Aft
er this is done, we will have plenty of
capital left to continue business in
Fargo"
