While this was in progress, half a
/ dozen women in different parts or
| the theater started shouting at His
Majesty One of them jumped on the
stage and commenced a speech. When
she had been thrown out others began.
Eventually all, the disturbers were

had a hard struggle to save them
from rough handling by the hostile
crowd.
| "The wild women" of the Wo-
mems Social and Political Union, the
militant suffragette organization, to-

masterpieces in the National Gallery
/ Almost simultaneously another wo-

Royal Academy of Art. Both women
were arrested
Proceedings Halted
! A little later the magistrate before
Whom were brought the fifty-seven
women arrested in connection with
yesterdays disturbance was compelled
to suspend the proceedings because
the accused created such a din that
nothing could be heard.

Child With Infant Saints" Portrait
of Girclamo Malatini." Saint John
and Christopher and the Doge," a
Landscape With the Death of Saint
Peter" and "Christ's Agony in the
Garden"
The painting gashed at the Royal
Academy was "Primavera," by George
! Clausen. The Academy was filled with
a fashionable throng when a woman
drew butchers cleaver which she had
concealed in her clothing and dashed

for volleys of bags of flour and other
missiles to be thrown at the magis-
trate, Sir John Dickinson.
Three policemen were required to
prevent one of the prisoners from
throwing herself over the rail of the
enclosure. Another woman removed
her shoe and hurled it at the head of
the magistrate, who caught it deftIy
in his extended hand
When Sir John Dickinson suspended
the hearing and ordered the court
cleared, there was a free fight.
Subsequently the women were again
drought in. Most of them were bound
over to keep the peace for six months,
but they unanimously refused to find
sureties.
Theopile o. Grandpre, of Chicago,
who was Knocked unconscious by a
mounted policemans horse during the
suffragette raid on Buckingham Pal
ace, told the police to-day that he
was robbed of $3.50 by two men who
came to his assistance.
An attempt by militant suffragettes

sharp and resulted in the arrest of
many women who in the fighting used
clubs with facility which betrayed
