LONDON POLICE CLUB WOMEN
Bloody Riot Follows the Arrest Of
Mrs. Emmellne Pankhurst In
British Capital.

London. May 23.-Mrs Emmeline
Pankhurst, leader of the militant
suffragettes, was arrested here on
Thursday while leading an army OF
women upon buckingham palace.
Following the arrest OF Mrs. Pank-
hurst a riot broke out on Constitution
hill Mounted police tried to clear
the streets, but the women formed
themselves into a compact mob and
fought savagely. The mounted police
charged into the mass Of femininity,
smashing at the heads OF the leaders
with their heavy police batons. The
yells OF the enraged women drowned
out the thuds of the truncheons as
they fell with crushing force upon
the heads or the shoulders of the
women.
Within half an hour 40 women we're
placed under arrest, charged with
assaulting policemen, rioting, melting
to riot, impeding traffic, resisting ar
rest and disorderly conduct.

FIND BECKER GUILTY.
JURORS, AFTER CELEBRATING
FOUR HOURS, CONVICT FOR
MER POLICE LIEUTENANT
PENALTY IS DEATH IN CHAIR
Court Announces Sentence viii &c
Passed on May 2e-Prisoner Gives
Jurors Glance Of Hatred as They
Pass to the Jury Room.

New York, May 25.-Charles Becker.
former lieutenant of police, was found
guilty of the murder of Herman Ro-
seminal
The finding was Guilty in the first
degree" The penalty under this is
death in the electric chair. The YER
dict was returned four hours and two
minutes after the jury retired for its
deliberations. Justice Seabury an
nounced that he would impose SEN
tence on May 90.
No sign of emotion showed on the
impressive face of the former head OF
the strong arm" police squad when
the jury handed down the finding that
sentenced him TO death. His loyal
wife burst into tears. She sobbed as
each member of the jury arose and an
swered in turn that he concurred in
the finding. As the jury filed out of
the courtroom Becker turned around
and looked at them, hatred showing
in his face
The case was in the hands of the
jury at 1859 O'Clock. Supreme Court
Justice Seabury had been nearly three
hours delivering his charge.
Becker appeared in court few min
utes after the jury was seated. His
wife sat at the side of the room.
The charge was worded with scrupu-
lous care. Time and again Justice
Seabury told the jury. after reviewing
contradictory evidence: Yours is
the duty to decide which you shall be-
lieve. Justice does not require vic
tim II this defendant is innocent. 1t
would be terrible to find him guilty
because of any prejudice that might
be held against him. But you must
not allow your judgment to be influ-
enced by any sympathy"
The jury sat in silence while the
usual motions for dismissing the case
we're made and then filed quietly to
their room. Becker went back TO his
cell in the tombs and his wife went
to luncheon at a nearby restaurant.
The jury made no attempt to begin
declarations at once. In the custody
of court officers, the 70 men went to
luncheon at an uptown hotel,
This defendant" continued Justice
Seabury. lis charged with murder in
the first degree. The people do not
claim he fired the shot that killed
Rosenthal. but they charge him with
procuring the commission Of the
crime.
IF this defendant. as a lieutenant OF
police, had a murder done, justice de-
mands that he be convicted and pun
ished by being sentenced to death
But he must be proved guilty beyond
reasonable doubt"

MELlEN SAVED MORGAN
ASSERTS LATE FiNANcIER ENeI.
NEEREo GRAND TRUNK DEAL.
Tells Son, Who Sought to Fire" Him,
That Father Deserved Shame
He Suffered.

Washington. May 25.--A dramatic
climax marked the close of the SEN
sational testimony OF Charles S.
Mellen. former president OF the New
Haven railroad, before the interstate
commerce commission Friday. With
evidence of deep emotion Mr.. Mellen
declared that the late J. Pierpont Nor
gan was cognlzant of the Grand Trunk
negotiations on which Mellen was in
dicted for criminal violation Of the
Sherman antitrust act and that he
himself took the indictment that be
longed to Morgan" believing it would
have killed the aged financier II he
had been indicted.
After reciting his efforts to shield
the elder Morgan the witness betrayed
evidence of resentment in telling how
the present J. Pierpont Morgan had
suggested change in the presidency
of the New Haven"
At this suggestion Mr.. Mellen de-
clared with emphasis:
Il called his attention to the fact
that had been suffering under the
humiliation of an undeserved indict
ment TO protect his father. He seemed
quite affected; he turned to the win
dow to compose his feelings, and re-
turned to the conversation with the
remark that his fathers condition Of
health at that time was such that it
would undoubtedly have killed him ii
he had been indicted.
That was the condition | under
stood the elder Morgan was in when
| took the responsibility upon myself
and took the indictment that belonged
to him.
Washington. May 22.-Dominant
control of the late j. p. Morgan, not
only of the officials, but of the proper.
ties of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad, was further empha-
sized when former President Charles
S. Mellen OF the New Haven continued
his testimony before the interstate
commerce commission Wednesday. He
testified:
That Nelson w. Aldrich, while a
member OF the United States senate,
was instrumental In selling Rhode
Island trolley system to the New Ha-
ven for between S19,0OO.000 and $780,
100000. twice the value Of the prop
critics" In the trolley system Mr.,
Aldrich was a stakeholder

COMMANDER BLAMED FOR PANIC

London.--The Durazzo correspond
ent of the Daily Telegraph attributes
the panic which led to the fight OF
Prince William to the Dutch COM
mander of the gendarmerie, Major
Sleys. in ordering a small body OF
these men to go out and attack the
insurgents, who we're supposed to be
advancing on the town. They obeyed
the order unwillingly, and were cap.
tured. The townspeople became panic
stricken and the prince fled with his
family. The Mypret's night. accord.
ing to the correspondent, deprived
him OF any prestige he possessed
among the Albanians.
