ULSTER MAY PAY COSTS
Old Law Invoked for Settling
Damage by Militants.

London, July 4. The whole tax
paying population of Ulster probably
will have TO pay for the damage done
in that province by the militant suf-
fragcttes. Major General Sir Hugh
McCalmont. a former Unionist men,
Der Of Parliament, has brought action
against the County Of Antrim for $780,
600 for the destruction of mis- house,
Abbeylands, which was burned by the
militants in March.
The action is brought under a law
that applies only TO Ireland, and which
WAS enacted at the time the National
lists were carrying on a militant cam
paign in favor Of Home Rule. Under
this county is responsible for any
damage done by MODS or persons, and
must also pay for any extra police pro-
lection sent in expectation Of violence.
Should General McCalmont be sue
eessful in his claim, the taxpayers Of
Antrim will have to pay an extra tax
OF nearly eight pence on the pound
nett year.

SAILING SHIPS TO
CURE MILITANTS
Voyage to Australia Under Can
vas Seriously Proposed as
Deterrent Punishment.

from The Tribune Correspondent
London, July AT this time when
nearly every one not militant has
sugges tion to make as to how to cop
troll the mad women" in their work
Of destruction. a unique antidote mas
been proposed. This is sea sickness
which. it Is contended, will be found
infallible. A year ago Justice bankes'
when sentencing two militants to terms
of Imprisonment, expressed his regree
that it was not in his power to send
them for a voyage round the world in
a sailing vessel
The scheme now proposed would cost
about sl25,OO0 for 100 persons and
about $4,000 for 90. The larger
amount. it is argued, represents no
moro than the cost of special police,
the maintenance of militants in prison
within the last two years and, say
one.tenth the value of property de.
stroyed by women in that period. II
the government is really in earnest, y
ia asserted that il can obtain legIsla-
tive authority for sentencing persons
charged with melting or committing
such outrages to term OF not less
than eight and not more than sixteen
months. 10 be served on board ship on
the high seas.
This could DE accomplished by char
tering two or four large sailing vessels,
TO be fitted up to accommodate twenty
five persons in separate cabins. These
would really be cells, but not so called.
Each ship would have a special stan
consisting of one doctor, one matron
and five mattresses. A trip under can
vas to Australia and back could be ac-
complished in eight months, and those
who believe in such form of punish
ment think il would be quite enough
to punish and cure four-ifths Of the
women sentenced.
BY this means the prisoners would
suffer impri comment without any hope
Of release unless they jumped over
board, and being out of touch with
their compatriots would find no en-
enlargement or sympathy. A hunger
strike in such circumstances would, OF
course, be deliberate suicide. At least

"The Irishman's Home" soon to be

for its joint authors are relatives OF

appear on the stage in parts each has

the eldest son Of Sir Edward Carson,
does the role of an agitator who be-
longs to the Ancient Order of Hiber-

he plays the part of the son of North OF

is "impatiently viewing contemporary

Miss Mary Garrett Hay. chairman OF
the Women's Suffrage Party, accom-
rcniod Mrs. Gait here. When asked
about suffrage conditions IN Great
Britain, she said :.
81 was told by a member or Parlia-
ment only yesterday that but Tor Mrs
Pankhurst and the Pankhurst methods
women would have gained the vote this
wear in England, and this for the
simple reason that majority IN Par
Lament is in favor of such legislation.
On account of Mrs. Pankhurst and her
followers, this member OF Parliament
assured me, votes for women are
further away at the present time than
they have been for many years
Miss Hay left no doubt in the mind
of her listener. She has firm belief
that Mrs. Pankhurst is one Of the
greatest enemies the cause possesses
at the present time. In this connection
she said =,
"Mr. and Mrs. Pethick Lawrence told
me a year ago of their difference with
Mrs. Pankhurst, but of their desire TO
keep things quiet so as to cause no
split in the w. S. P. L. Mrs. Pankhurst
loves publicity" Asked if she thought
Mrs. Pankhurst would go to America
again, Miss Hay said:
81 don't believe she will. Except for
the stupidity of the federal authorities
in New York in holding her up and
thereby giving her the needed public,
ity her tour would have been a dismal
failure financially. As it was there was
a loss of money. don't think she
will care to 90 again, for | believe it
would be an even greater loss. But to
escape England, of course, she might
for "a time make America her domicile,

"SUFFS' " BOMB
DISGUISED BLESSING
Showed Necessity for Regiazing
of Windows of st. Georges,
Hanover Square.
fErom Tho Tribune Correspondent


London. July 4.--EXpert examination
OF the windows of st. Georges, Han
over Square. reveals the fact that there
must be an entire re-glazing of them to
insure the preservation of the windows
in this famous church, which have
stood the test of time and weather
since the early sixteenth century. This
is another restoration which can be
placed to the credit of the militants
who recently perpetrated bomb out
rage there.
Reginald o. Bell, the artist, has just
received the commission for the work
and it will require a period of at leas,
five or six weeks with staff OF skilled
men to complete it. Thousands
of small pieces of glass of extreme
fineness and shade go TO the construc-
tion of single window. Each frag-
ment in its own lead casing must be
separately placed.
II is expected 10 begin the work in
August, when people leave town. Then
Mr. Bell and his assistants hope tO
nave the CHurCn piuCbiChiiy W 1Henh'
selves. According TO the artist, the
windows were so badly shaken By the
sutfragette bomb explosion that urgent
attention was necessary. He believes
that a severe thunderstorm or even too
vigorous playing of the organ might
bring about a collapse. BY provi-
Dental coincidence the bomb explosion
occurred after the recent disastrous
Thunderstorm which shook London
earlier in the day There is little doub,
that it is owing to this fortunate cir
cumstance that it is still possible "a

Mr.. Bell has had wide experience in
this branch of art in conjunction with

glass artist. who was responsible fol

ROULI-ROULI, NEW
DANCE In LONDON
Partisan Craze Reaches British
Capital-"La FadO" (Portu.
guese) Also Popular.
From The Tribune Correspondent !

London, July 1.-THE craze for new
dances shows no sign of abating in
London. The Rouli-Rouli over which
Paris has gone mad and which was
danced there for the first time several
weeks ago, has invaded London. Ii is
popularity referred to in many quarters
as the paddle wheel dance" as the
movements, though fascinating and
pretty, resemble the movements Of a
paddle wheel steamer. First there is a
graceful glide and then movement in
which the lady twirls four times under
her partners arms. The dance is COM
pleted with some pretty make steps.
The sponsors of the dance declare that
it will remain popular for some time,
but they add this reservation, that it
will have to be danced correctly.
Still another dance which has become
extremely popular is La Fado, a
Portuguese polka, which has a ragtime
element. but while new dances are COM
ing TO the fore here emphasis is still
laid on the dancing Of the tango. J. d.
McNaughtor in his presidential ad-
dress at the annual conference Of the
British Association of Teachers of
Dancing said that the tango is abso-
lutely unsuited to regular ballroom
dancing. II has had it's day, he added.
