VENUS SLASHER
SENT TO PRISON
FOR SIX MONTHS
Judge, Sentencing May Rich
ardson, Militant, Declares Law
Provides inadequate Term.
CONSIDERED ACT HER
DUTY, SHE DECLARES
Grateful Because She Lives in
Same Century With
Mrs. Pankhurst.

LONDON. March 12-Miss May
Richardson. the militant suffragette
who on Tuesday hacked Velasquez' s
'Rokeby Venus" in the National Gal
lery, was today sentenced to Sin
months imprisonment.
The case against Miss Richardson
was disposed of in record time. She
was arrested on March 10, taken to
Bow street police court and com
mitted for trial by the magistrate on
the same day; the grand jury yester-
day returned a true bill against her.
and today she was tried and convict
ed by jury at the London sessions
The public prosecutor In addressing
the jury ON behalf of the government
said that one might well doubt
whether the prisoner was in her right
senses. There was, however, no med
ical evidence to show that she was a
person not responsible for her actions
Now on Hunger Strike.
Miss Richardson has been On a

In replying to the charge today she
said that her act was premeditated
and she pleaded guilty.
Addressing Judge Robert Wallace
who presided over the court, Miss
Richardson said:
Il am an art student, but ! care
more for justice than for art. l firmly
believe that when the nation has shut
its eyes to justice and has allowed
women who are fighting for justice
to be maltreated and tortured such
an action as mine should be under
standable.
1.-THE slow and premeditated muir
der of Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst is
the ultimatum which has made nee
essary the recent acts of her follow

asleep, for we women have knocked
vainly at the doors of ministers

the King himself.

Page Expresses Surprise
When Told OF Resolution
Denla..d .ding Explanation

LONDON, March 12.-Walter Hines
Page, the United States ambassador,
was much surprised when told today
of the resolution passed by the SEN
ate in connection with his speech last
night at the dinner of the Associa-
ton of Chambers of Commerce. He
declined TO discuss the matter until
he had received an official demand
for an explanation and details as to
what portion of his speech objection
%as made.
He put the question to the inter-
viewer: "The speech was innocent
enough, wasn't it?'
Asked whether objection might be
taken to the last sentence of his
speech, referring to the Panama ca
nal, Mr. Page replied that that was
a pleasantly.
The ambassador spoke late in the
evening, and his remarks were ex-
temporaneous. They were made after
most of the reporters had left and no
verbatim reports were made of them.
The London newspapers differ slight
ly in the wording of the ambassa-
doris remarks regarding Panama
and Central American investments.
Ambassador Page said that the
most accurate report of his speech
was contained in the Daily Tele-
graph. from which the essential parts
are quoted verbatim as follows:

Official Washington Accepts
White House Wedding Ru-
NOR as Definite Fact.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Pros-
poets of another White House we'd
ding became more definite today with
the persistent renewal of the report
that Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo and Miss Eleanor Randolph
Wilson, youngest daughter of the
President and Mrs. Wilson, were en-
gagged, the marriage to take place in
June.
There was no announcement from
the White House, and when. the at
tention of officials was drawn to the
report they refrained from making
any comment or denial.
Secretary McAdoo himself said it
would be indelicate for him to COM
ment on the subject one way or the
other. Nevertheless, official Wash
ington is taking it as a definite fact
that another wedding at the White
House will be solemnized in June aft
er the adjournment of Congress.

clared British Will Profit
Most"
COPY OF ADDRESS is
DEMANDED FROM BRYAN
Resolution Asks Further Light
on Ambassadors Monroe
Doctrine Definition.

WASHINGTON, March IA res
olution calling upon Walter Fl. Page
ambassador to Great Britain, for an
explanation of Panama canal
speech which he is reported to have
delivered last night before the AS
sociated Chambers of Commerce in
London, was adopted today by the
Senate.
The resolution was introduced by
Senator Chamberlain, Democrat, of
Oregon, an opponent of the repeal of
the free toll provision. In the preface
of the resolution Senator Chamber
lain quoted a report of the speech
as printed in a New York morning
paper
Call on Bryan to Act.
The resolution then calls on the Sec
retary of state to furnish to the
Senate without delay copy of the
speech made by the American am
bassador and particularly that part
thereof giving his definition of the
Monroe doctrine and that portion
thereof in which he is alleged to have
stated that the British would profit
most by the use of the Panama canal;
and that he call upon the American
ambassador to furnish forthwith, for
the use of the Senate, any evidence
upon which that portion of his speech
was based wherein he is alleged to
have said that it added greatly to the
pleasure of the people of the United
States in the building of the Panama
canal to know that the British would
profit most by it's use"
The definition attributed to the am
bassador was that the Monroe doc
trine simply meant this:
Resolution Passes Unanimously.
THAT the United States would pre-
fer that no European government
should gain more land in the new
world"
Senator Chamberlain asked for i'm
mediate consideration of his resolu-
ton. II was granted unanimously
and the resolution was passed with
out debate.

Wilson Signs Alaskan Bill
With Pen Extracted from
Gold Deposits of Territory

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Presi-
dent Wilson signed the Alaskan bill
this afternoon. Members of the SEN
ate and House, and Secretary Lane,
who workel for passage of the bill,
were present.
The pen which was used by Speak
er Clark and Vice-President Marshall
to sign the bill is probably unique.
1t was supplied by John w. Ballain,
of Seattle, who has been long an ad-
vocate of government ownership of
railroads in Alaska.
The pen was made from gold mined
in Alaska, and the holder was carved
from tusk of ivory unearthed by
miners in Alaska. Government geol-
ogists say the tusk belonged to a
mastodon that roamed that country
$4,000 years ago.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and when it is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the result, and unless the in flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal con- dition, hearing will be destroyed for. ever; nine cases out of ten are caus- ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces,
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu- lars, free.

He recalls the fact that he snores some now, whereas he did not pre- viously.
 Subacute nasal catarrh! Or we might call it incipient nasal catarrh. Or, still better, nasal catarrh just be- ginning and becoming chronic.
 Now is the time to take Peruna. A little Peruna will do wonders at this stage of the disease. Snuff a lit- tie weak salt water every morning (see "Ills of Life," sent free by Pe- runa Co.,, Columbus, Ohio), just enough to clear out the nose. Take a dose of Peruna before breakfast. Hold it in the mouth. Let it trickle down slowly and breathe the fumes of it out through the nose as you swallow it.
 This will stop an incipient case of nasal catarrh in a few weeks. Stop it entirely. The nose becomes clear again. The breath is sweet. The breathing free. No more snoring, or snuff1ing, or snifiing, or catching cold easily. All of these things are in the past.
 An army of men and women have been benefited by Peruna. You might as we'll become one of the benefited ones as to allow it to go on any further.
