PUBLIC OPINION IN
ENGLAND IS INfLAhED
Greater Activity on the Part
of Government Against
Suffragettes Expected
Work of Destruction by
Hired Hands.

London, June 6.--Miss Mary Blom-
field, daughter Of Lady Sarah Louisa
Bloomfield. was the woman who created
q scene at Buckingham palace last night
when she threw herself on her knees
before King George and Queen Mary.
She alone was concerned in the Incl
dent Her sister, who took no part in
the disturbance, left later on request
without protest. Persons in the imme-
diate vicinity OF the king said the
scene lasted then than 10 seconds, the
woman having time only to say, Your
majesties, for Gods sake" when
she was seized and hustled out of the
throne room. No prosecution Of the
woman Is contemplated.
Public opinion here has been in
famed to remarkable degree by the
recent militant actions, especially the
discourtesies to the king and the burn
ing of churches. The people believe
much of the work of destruction is done
by hired hands. Cases have been re-
ported OF women leaving other employ
ment to go to the militants, not for
love of the cause, but because the pay
is better. Greater activity on the part
of the government is expected. The
police have already saved several wom-
en- from mob violence. so enraged is
the populace becoming.

night at a meeting of the Women's

The audience became Historically ex-
cited, cheering all references to vio-
lences and greeting the mention of the

Next week the Women's Social and
