London, Feb. 11.-Mutiny broke out
today, in the so-called Peoples Army"

East End of London. by Miss Sylvia

meeting of the army today. When
told to desist they retorted: If we
are not allowed to smoke we won't
come here again." and quit the meet
ing.
Another group Of suffragettes was
sentenced later in the day. Some were
sent to prison for a week on their re-
fusal to pay small fines, while others
were remanded pending inquiries. A
few were discharged. The women were
arrested in connection with the attempt
to arrest Mrs. Pankhurst and in con-
nection with the demonstration near
the premiers residence. and at Scot
land yards.
A force of police kept close watch all
night, on the house in Kensington,
where Mrs. Pankhurst took up her res
idence on her arrival from Switzerland.

laid in there during the past few days

SCHOONER ASHORE.
Crew Too Badly Frost Bitten to HelE
in Their Rescue.

Highland Light. Mass, Feb. Ii
An unidentified four-masted schooner
was driven ashore, south of Cape Cod
light, during a bitter northeast bliz-
zard today. A tremendous surf pre-
vented the launching of a lifeboat and
the life savers from the Pamet river
and Highland stations set up their
beach gun apparatus in the hope Of
rescuing the vessels crew in the
breeches buoy
The first few shots carried the line
across the vessels rigging, but the
seamen were so badly frost bitten,
they could not clambOr up the masts
and secure it and the lifesavers tried
to send the line across the schooner's
deck. The gale blew diagonally on
the beach, terrific waves pounded the
schooner and the flying spray froze on
the deck rails and rigging.

DISTRICT The UNIT,
Presidential Primary Plan Given
Shape by Democrats.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Congression-
al districts instead of states. probably
will be the units of representation in
presidential primary plan being
worked out but there seems to be an
agreement on the idea of having del
egates instructed 5for the particular
candidates wAosr5eeiye a plurality in
the congreasi0fH districts.
The unit rule, SO far as the states
are concerned, would automatically
be abolished and a nomination OF
president and vice president would re-
suit from the vote in the primary cleo
tions in congressional districts. 1t has
not been determined whether a plur-
ality or majority would be required for
nomination. Secretary Bryan recently
endorsed the idea of making the con-
gressional district the unit.

the most valuable holdings in this Sec
ton.
On his homestead, just east of jew
ell City, is located the Wallace GEM
etery, which is said to be the finest in
northwestern Kansas. He had been
for forty years or more. To him, the
greater debt for the attractive burying
ground is due and many wonder who
will take up his burden and maintain
the reputation of the last resting place
of so many people who have lived in
this community.
Mr.. Wallace was an intense Repub-
lican. He represented Jewell county
two sessions as a member of the Kan
sas legislature. beginning in 1884.
