MRS. PANKnURST AGAIN
 IN HOLLOWAY JAIL
Militant Suffragettes Create Violent Scene in Central
 Criminal Court.

London, July S.-Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst today resumed command of the forces of the Women's Social and Political union at their London headquarters, but was not permitted to remain there long. She reoccupied the offices at noon, without hindrance by the police, although they knew of her intention and had detectives on duty in the vicinity. However, when she emerged from her headquarters to go to lunch the police bounced on her and took her to Holloway jail.
 Simultaneously with the reappear- ance of Mrs. Pankhurst violent scene was created in the central criminal court. where Mrs. H. F. Alice Hall, Miss Grace Roe, Miss Julia Jameson and Miss Ellen Armee were brought up for trial for conspiracy. The sohAtge saeafifst them was that of ''con- spring with others maliciously to commit damage and injury and to spoil certain real and personal prop erty of the Liege subjects of our lord the king"
 The prisoners were arrested during a raid on a west end fiat on May 21 and in their rooms were found a new shrapnel grenade of ingenius manu- facture, coils of fuse and plans of houses with instructions how to reach them and as to the usual movements of the police in the vicinity.
 Miss Roe and Mrs. Hall when brought into court surrounded by women wardens, refused to plead. They threw papers and pens from the prisoners enclosure and shouted a running commentary on their treat ment in Holloway jail. Both of these prisoners complained of having been forcibly fed. They made. a violent fight, and 1t took two policemen and five women attendants to carry them out of court to the cells below
 When the judge decilded to proceed with the trial in the absence of the two women, Mrs. Hall threw herself to the floor and kicked several police men, and it took some minutes to re- move her.
 The other prisoners pleaded not guilty.

 mont Accident.

Sheldon, Vt, July S.-Ten persons were injured, one seriously and many others were shaken up and bruised when a Central Vermont train ran into a washout near Sheldon Springs last night

 The fireman was badly scalded, and a mail clerk was painfully hurt. The engineer, baggageman ana six passen- gers received minor injuries. All were taken to a hospital at St. Albans to- day.

REV. J. B. NIHIIL PROMOTED. Is Now Pastor Of St. Augustine's
 Parish, BridgepOrt.

The Rev. James B. Nihill has been transferred by Bishop Milan from St. Patrick's parish, Bridgeport. to St. Augustine's parish in the same city, which is larger and more important than the former.
 New Britain will be interested in this promotion for the reason that Father Nihill was born in this city. at- tended the old Town school, after wards the High school, was graduated from that institution in the class of 1874 and took a post graduate course there for about another year. He then went to work and in February. 1876, he entered Holy Cross college, Worcester Mass, graduating in June, 1878. His theological studies were completed at the Grand seminary, Montreal, and he was ordained to the priesthood in that city on December 22, 1882.
 Father Nihill has been located in various cities since leaving New Brit ain and for the last twenty-five years he has been in Bridgeport. He has been very progressive citizen of that city and has been strong advocate of many of the Improvements that have come to the section in which he lived.

FEDERAL 1ilt 'i''1t Ii''; Confirmed Mem Must Take Oath and Qd in
 Fifteen Days.

Washington, July s.-With three members of the federal reserve board, Charles S. Hamlin, w. P. G. Harding and A. c. Miller, confirmed, the board will soon come into actual existence as the act creating it provides that members must take. the oath and qualify within fifteen days after notice of appointment. These three active members of the board, together with the comptroller of the currency and the secretary of the treasury, give the necessary five votes, out of the total of seven, required to pass any measure through the board.
 It is known that the three members already confirmed and that the secre- tary of the treasury and comptroller of the currency. who are ex-ofhcio members, prefer to wait if possible until the complete board Is named be- fore rushing through organization plans. Several experts have been called upon to outline the steps neces- isary to create the federal reserve banks in a satisfactory and speedy manner. These reports are ready for the sideration of the new board as soon as it is convened.
 It probably will be three weeks be- fore all returns are in from the elec- tion now in progress to select di- rectors of the various federal reserve banks. The banks are selecting four and the federal reserve board must select two directors for each federal reserve bank.
 While the powers of the federal ad- visory council are purely advisory, it is believed by many bankers that membership upon it will be nearly as important as membership on the fed eral reserve board. The council will have only twelve men, one for each federal reserve bank. and it's members will be in such close touch with the affairs of their districts, as we'll as af- fairs of the federal reserve board in Washington, that much depends on the character of men named for the council. They will be the go-betweens who will keep the board posted on conditions throughout the United States and their recommendations will be of vital importance to the board.

EXPECT SETTLEMENT
 IN DISSOLUTION CASE
Department of Justice Preparing to File It's Suit Against New
 Haven Road.

Washington, July S.-Although the department of justice is preparing to go ahead and file it's suit for the dis solution of the New Haven railroad system, Attorney General McReynolds still Is hopeful of settlement with out prolonged fight in the court.
 As was announced some time ago President Wilson and the attorney general had agreed that the suit should be filed not later than July IS, unless the Massachusetts legislature and the executive committee of the railroad agreed on certain legislation necessary for disp osing of some of the stocks which the government contends are being held in violation of law.
 Administration officials pin their faith of settlement without long fight on the fact that a new legislature comes into existence on January l. Under ordinary procedure suit filed this month would not proceed very far by that time, and could be halted whenever the necessary legislation for a peaceful settlemsnt was enacted.

 Wild Animal.

A. comedians, who arrived at the camp only a few days ago. instituted a bear hunt yesterday, 1t being rumored among the neighbor- ing campers that wild animal of that species had been seen proving. along the shores of the lake on the preceding night. Immediately the local heroes set out. armed to the teeth with boards and fence rals but the enemy must have been warned of the approach of the Bertini-Gins- berg army, for when 1t arrived on the battlefield MT. Bear had retreated ig- nominiously for regions unknown.
 The generals have been informed that the camp Is running short of meat so with their trusty follower, Ber- tini's dog, Rover. they have continued their search. They have asked that Mayor Quigley have a cage built on Central park in place of the cap pistol and pills which adorned the center of this beautiful city, in which to house the captive.
 On Wednesday, July 15, the trl- umphant army will return to New Britain. Generals Ginsberg and Ber- tini have wired "Tippy' Fay asking him to prepare red hot speech for the event. to see that t:le city is dec- orated and that two bands, accom- panied by the Expressmen's union. be on hand to receive them at the rail- road station.

 Washington, July S.-Declaring 1t would be unfair to regard the demo- cratic party as the enemy of big or little business President Wilson to- day gave out statement in support of Paul M. Warburg of New York and Thomas D. Jones of Chicago, his nominees for the federal reserve board.
 President Wnson's Statement. s
 President Wilson's statement fol- lows: "f
 It would be particularly unfair to the democratic party and the sen . ate itself to regard it as the enemy of business, big or little. am sure that it does not regard a man as an| object of suspicion merely becausel he has been connected with great] business enterprises. It knows thatl the business of the country has been| chiefly promoted in recent years by} enterprises organized on a great scale, and that the vast majority of thoI men connected with what we hava| come to call big business are hon -] est, incorruptible and patriotic. Incl country may be certain that 1t is clear| to members of the senate as it is| clear to all thoughtful men that those who have tried to make big business what it ought to be are the men to| be encouraged and honored, when-| ever they respond without reserve to| the call of public service.
 Example of Patriotism.
 'T predict with the greatest con- fidence that nothing done by the dem-| ocratic majority of the senate of the e| United States will be of a sort to throw suspicion upon such men. Mir. Jones and MT. Warburg. in manifesto ing their willingness to make personal l sacrifices and put their great expert ence and ability at the service of the | government, without thought of per- sonal advantage,- in the Torg&flffation/ < of great reform which promises to l be so servfceable to the nation, are ! setting an. example of patriotism and of public spirit which the whole coun-| try admires.
 Tt is the obvious business of states manship at this turning point in our | development to recognize ability and character wherever 1t has been dis played and unite every force for the ! upbuilding of legitimate business along the new lines which are now clearly indicated for the future"

 The president said today he earnsst- ly hoped MT. Warburg would recon slider his decision not to accept thoI nomination and that he was urGtngX him to do so. He expressed conf~ dence that MT. Jones would be con- firmed.
