LONDON. June 14.-lTo-day's instalment
Of terrorism by the "furies' consisted In
the placing OF bomb in the ultra fash
ionable church Of st. Georges, Hanover
Square. and brawiing in Westminster ABB
hey. st. Paul's Cathedral and elsewhere
The bomb placed In St Georges was
similar to the bombs heretofore exploded
In various churches. II exploded about
1890 o'clock this evening. about an hour
after tho church had been closed. The
firemen and police on entering St
Georges found the church filled with
dense smoke The most serious result Of
the vandalism was great damage TO the
famous Dutch Jesse window above the
altar at which so many fashionable we'd
dings have been solemnized The window
Is In three sections. 1t dates ba.n to about
the year 1920 and formerly belonged TO
a convent AT Mallnes Beneath the win

dictate that 1t was made of about two
pounds OF gunpowder placed In a corned
beef can, which was bound with strap.
II was evidently ignited by a fuse. at

kind.
The upyoar in n. Paul's Cathedral oc-
CURED in the afternoon and excelled all
previous efforts of the suffragettes ex-
cept their riotous demonstration at
Brompton Oratory last Sunday. The Lord
Mayor OF London. the sherffs, The Judges
were present. as the occasion was a spe-
cial hospital Sunday service. There
were numerous policemen about the ca
thedral in preparation for any disturb
ance, and there were special detachments
OF detectives at all the entrances. who
scrutinized every one who entered. blu,
all these precautions were useless.
Just as the singing OF an anthem was
about to begin a raucous yell startled the
huge congregation. who had no need to
hear the words of the wild woman (Which
were W tHt tiiSCt Nilht WOlilcu NtIc belus
murdered) TO realize what was happening.
The police bounced on the woman. who
was Of middle age, but before they
reached the nearest door a group OF the
''furies'' who were seated among the con-
gregation beneath the dome started
shrieking. The police and the vergers
seized two OF the women and bundled
them out but three others were found TO
be chained to chairs. which are Joined TO
the long pews BY planks.
While they were being disentangled the
''brutes." The choir started to sing an
anthem, but this was drowned out by the
squealing OF the women as, struggling
and kicking. they were carried to the
door. Other women then began yelling
in other parts OF the cathedral.
The congregation then became fncensed
and took hand In ejectng the wild
women. They did not go so far as the
more violent Catholics at Brompton Ora
tory, but they did not treat the disturbers
tenderly. Two OF the women gave an ele-
giant display OF feminine dignity by
throwing themselves on the floor and
kicking and striking at every one who APP
preached them. At another part OF the
building one woman threw herself on the
floor and another flung herself on top OF
her to prevent the former from being re.
moved. Some OF the indignant worship.
pers seized one of the women and shook
her violently.
In some cases the members OF the con.
gregation who assisted In ejecting the dis
turbers seized the termagants by the hair
and In that way dragged them to the door
One OF the wild women struck a man and
he retaliated by boxing her ears.
There was disturbance at st. An
drew's In nottingham while the Right
Rev. Edwyn Hoskyns, the Bishop OF
Southwell. was preaching Five women

formances are arson, the placing OF bombs

Two women were mobbed and hustled
In Parliament Square after disturbing the
evening service at Westminster Abbey
They flew as usual to claim the protect ION
OF the police. which was given with the
customary tenderness.
The police stopped a suffragette meet
ing In Hyde Park this afternoon. This
action was taken for the purpose OF pro-
tecting the speakers. who were threatened
by the crowd. The police escorted the
women to places OF safety.
A crowd at Hampstead Heath seized
the platform from which a suffragette
