SUFFRAGETTEs THROW
 BOTTLES AND STONES.
Break Up Meeting of Borough Council
 and Attack Members.

London, March 26-An extraordinary sufragette disturbance occurred today at 8 meeting of the Poplar borough council, which had voted adversely to letting out council halls for suffra- Sette meetings.
 With shouts of towards and other offensive epithets, 8 large number of women invaded the section of the hall reserved for the councillors. Bombs containing evil smelling chemicals were exploded by the scorcS;' a bag containing similar substances was thrown from the gallery; bags of flour and stones were flung at the members. The councillors were soon struggling with the infuriated women, many Of whom were armed with bludgeons and bottles. Shrieks and shouts, the smash ing of glass and the splintering Of chairs completed one of the worst [ scenes of pandemonfum in the history of the suffragette movement. The oo- lice were sent for. but for some reason refrained from interference.
 The mayor retained the chair in 2 vain endeaVor to resume the council proceedings. but finally the council beat a retreat, leaving the women in possession of the hall, with a few so- cialist members of the Iouncil, who re- mained to hear speeches delivered by Miss Zelie Emerson of Jackson, Mich, and others.
 While Miss Emerson was speaking, the council ventured to return to the chamber and carried a resolution eA- cluding the public from the chamber for three months.
 George Lansbury q member of the council and a strong supporter of the militant movement, f1ercely protes against this proceeding as irregular and threw the town clock, books and papers to the floor. amid cheers from the suffra gettes.
 The council meeting then adjourned.

Washington, March 26.-Loss at sea of the American schooner Hattie P. Simpson of Boston, with her captain and five other members of the crew. was reported to the navy department tonight in a relayed wireless message from the steamship Caracas, which has on board four survivors of the schoon- CT!

Simpson of Boston, Philadelphia for Galveston, 13 March. and abandoned and sunk morning 21. All remainder of crew, captain, first mate, steward and three men lost"

Fl Paso, Texas, March 2S-Cenf1iot= ing reports today left the situation at Gomez Palacfo and Torreon a matter of conjecture.
 General Villa teiegrap p1led to Manuel Chao at Juarez that he had been in possession of Gomez Palacio since morning and predicted that the rebels would have TofFeoh not later than Saturday. On the other hand. Miguel Disbold, Of HueFta;s consular service, exhibited telegrans declaring that the rebels had been rseslised at all points. Disbeid alleged that when at first the rebels thought they had Gomez Pa lscio they were the victims of & trap. as result of which many were killed and wounded and 500 were taken pris- oRers,
 Federal Retreat Feint-
 The federal retreat, he said, was @ feint to draw the rebels over 151 dynamite mines which were exploded under them.
 General Villas telegram asserted that the rebels were still maintaining e base at Ai Veriel, five miles from Gomez Palacio,, while the railroad line was being repaired. He added that the federais had attempted to evacUate LoTIeOsl bA44NASH IAA4S hO tAS SSAl14s but had been driven back Into the city.
 According to Chao, Villa asserted that for the 24 hours preceding his taking of Gomez Palacio, the bottle was confined mostly to artillery prao- tice and that his men today were moy- ing into positions for the attack on TorTeon proper,
 False Claims by Both Sides
 Observers of the situation here say they have been so often misled in tht last ten days by ao-called official re- ports by both sides that neither official utterance was impressive.

 M. Boucard sought an explanation of the discrepancies in Mime. Caillaux's s recital before him and the story she told the police.
 'In attacking your huSband,' said the magistrate, 'M. Calmette was fight ing the politician, not the private citi- zen. Moreover, the letter signed Thy Jos concerned another woman"
 Yes" responded the witness, but 1t was I who succeeded that woman as the wife of M. Caillaux. I will recall to you how M. Calmette, in an article on March Is, bantered my husband re- garding the intimate nature of this let ter; and that is not politics.

Eagle Pass, Texas, March 26-Ftol- lowing the repulse Of General Franc isco Villa and his rebel army, fighting has been resumed near Torreon at Noe, 8 few miles north of Gomez Palacio.
 This was the substance of a brief despatch to federal headquarters in Piedras Negras late today, said to have come direct from the battlefield. The message was sent by General Joaquin Maas.
 An earlie- message which, it was ex- plained, related to events of last night, said:
 Our arms victorious at Gomez Paa- cio. More than 1000 killed, wounded and prisoners. Cavalry pursuing
 Federal officials at Piedras Negras interpreted the latter message from General Maas as meaning that Villa had been driven from Gomez Patacio toward the north, but whether the en- gagement at Noe was a final stand by

WITNESSES TESTIFY IN
 TANNENRAUM'S BEHALF.
Declare He Advised Followers to
 Leave Church.

New York, March 26-Newspaper reporters and the unemployed teSt1- fled today in defense of Frank Tan nenbauH, the youthful leader of the Industrial Workers of the World, who is accused of taking part in an un- lawful assemblage of the army of idle men who invaded St. Alphonsus' church on March 4.
 The third day of Fannenbaum's tri al was marked by a demonstration of the, unemployed when some of their number, who are to be called aS Tan nenbaum's witnesses, shouted in the corridors outside the court room that the state must feed them if it expect ed them to testify, even though they were not called by the state.
 Tannenbaum, instead Of exhorting his followers to disorder after shelter was refused them at St. Alphonsus as testified to by witnesses for the prose cution, tried to lead them peacefully from the edihce, according to those who took the stand in behalf of the defendent today. Several of Tannen- baum's witnesses were men arrested on the night when the church was entered; they were brought from the BlaekwelPs Island penitentiary to tes- tify.
 Charles W. PIunkett, released from the workhouse on Tuesday, declared it was he who suggested the visit to the church When the unemployed found they were not welcome there, he tes- tifled, Tannenbaum said to them: Come on boys, we are not wanted here; let's get out" But detectives stopped them, said Plunkett telling them the police were coming and Tan embaum said: ~ can take these men out of here without the slightest dis order
 George Kaufman and several other newspaper reporters contradicted the testimony of states witnesses by de- clar1ng there was no disorder in the church; that the unemployed did not stand on pew seats, and that all ex- cept a few near the door removed their hats.
