INSURGENTS FOUND
 ON WEST MAIN ST.
Won't Install Lataa|S and Won't Have Wires in Back Yards.

It was brought to light at the meet ing of the board of public works last night that there are still some property owners on West Main street who have not connected their homes by laterals with the 1aterals extend ing from the subways to the curbs. The matter was brought up by Clerk Emmett, who stated that there are four poles that must come down to comply with the requirements of the board. He said that the property owners in question would not build the laterals nor would they permit the public service corporations to use the back yard distribution system for telephone and electric light wires He was instructed to take the matter up with Corporation Counsel J. E. Coop CT.
 The board voted to give a hearing to interested property owners on the acquiring of land between the Cram mar school and the Prevocational school for the purpose of laying sani- tary and storm water sewers. The improvement is for the benefit of the Prevocational school.
 }, Commissioner Kelly stated that the problem was faced once before, about seven years ago, when he was in the common council. At that time 1t was found necessary to lay storm water drain and John Pinches & Co. claimed to have a fee in the land across which the drain would run. The dispute was settled by the city paying Pinches & Co. $25.
 The board received a communica- tion from the common council calling for conference of a special council committee and the board on street lighting. It will be remembered that

Treatment Of Mrs. Pankhurst.

London, March 10.-May Richardson,

damage today on the famous Velasquez
picture known as the "Rokeby Venus
which is hung in the national gallery

The woman entered the gallery and
attacked the picture with sharp
knife. She was arrested.
The perpetrator of the outrage has
been sentenced to several terms of i'm
prisonment since the beginning OF the
suffrage movement. She was arrested
in Bristol on July I. last year, for
dropping a scroll Of paper on the knees
of King George as he was driving thru
the city. After serving three months
she was arrested In November for

was released few weeks later IN a
serious condition OF health.
Art Galleries Are Closed.
The national gallery was closed after
the outrage today. Many Of the public
art collections such as those at Hamp-
ton Court Palace and especially GAL
leries where valuable porcelain Is on
exhibition, were closed year ago on
accountsof militant outrages and have
not been opened since.
Miss Richardson, after her arrest.

GRANT DRuRY RELEASED
Case Against Clifford Man Accused Of

Unfair.

Special to Republican.
Eldora, March l0.-After hearing the
testimony OF three witnesses, the case
against Grant Drury, the Clifford man
accused by the coroner's Jury OF GRIM
inal responsibility for the death Of
Martin Scott, was suddenly dismissed
by the county attorney. This will not
end the investigation, however. as
County Attorney Bryson announced
that he would bring the matter Of
Scott's death directly to the attention
Of the grand jury, which convenes
Monday, March 2S.
The preliminary hearing OF Drury
was begun before Justice BurlinS this
morning, and resulted In a heated CLASH
between the county attorney and At
torney Rogers, who appeared for Drury.
The lie was passed and the lawyers
almost came to blows. While public
sentiment Is against Drury and the
feeling here Is that the preliminary
hearing should have proceeded. County
Attorney Bryson declared he could not
get a square deal before the Justice
court, hence his determination to take
the case direct to the grand jury.
