Progressives Lay Plans to Wage
Vigorous Campaign Through

Oyster Bay, N. Y, May 23.-Wha,
Colonel Roosevelt described as mot
exactly literary discussion" was held
at Sycamore Hill. 1t was perhaps the
most important political conference
in which he has participated since the
close of the campaign of 1912. 1t
brought together representatives of
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, the
three states in which Colonel Roose-
welt probably will do his hardest
fighting this fall.
At the meeting were George w. Per-
kins of New York, chairman of the
executive committee of the Progress
i've party; Charles Brown, member of
the national committee Clifford Pin
chot, Progressive Candidate for United
States senator from Pennsylvania,
and e. A. Van Valkenberg of Phila-
delphia, one of the foremost figures
in the affairs in that state.
1t was decided definitely that the
tentative plans for Colonel Roose-
velt's campaign trip from the Atlantic
to the Pacific should be adopted. This
tour probably will take the former
president into almost every state in
the Union.

London, May 26.-Numerous demon
STATIONS and disturbances, on the
streets and in the churches, provoked

Westminster Abbey and Newcastle

Sylvia Pankhurst, again arrested
under the "cat and mouse" act, and
her East End followers provided the
biggest excitement of the day, great
procession formed at Canning town
and marched to Victoria Park. On the
way the women picked up Sylvia
Pankhurst, who was chained and
handcuffed to Is women and sur
rounded by other supporters armed
with slaves.
The police allowed the procession to
proceed, but when the park was
reached, they got the militant leader
and those chained to her into the
park by an adroit move and then
shut the gates against the rest Of the
women. Taken at a disadvantage, the
women in chains put up stiff fight,
but the police finally broke the chains
with their truncheons and arrested
Sylvia. They allowed the others to
go.
Outside the gate a furious struggle
went on between male suffragettes
and anti-suffragettes, which the police
had the greatest difficulty in break
ing up.
At Hampstead Heath suffragettes
had to call on the police for protec-
ton against mob which rushed their
platform with cries of Duck them.

Suffragettes raided numerous streets
in the west end of London, smashing
windows. Several of the women were
arrested.
