Belfast, Ire, April S.-Militant Suf-
fragettes created so much noise and
confusion in the police court here to-
day when Dorothy Evans and Madge
Muir, officials of the Belfast branch
of the Woman's Social and Political
Union Were brought up for trial that
the proceedings had to be adjourned.
The two women were charged with
having in their possession explosives
for the purpose of committing a fell
ony.
The court was crowded with women
when the prisoners were brought in
and acting apparently upon a signal,
they raised such a din that neither
the magistrate nor the prosecuting
attorney could make himself heard.
The uproar was continued for long
time. Forty of the wome nwere eject
ed from the court but the noise still
kept up and the magistrate finally
decided to suspend the sitting
The opinion was generally expressed
that orders had been issued from mill
liant headquarters to the Suffragettes
to create similar scenes every time a
woman was charged with a Suffrage
outrage.
