the committee that 1t was seeking 10
use "a 1S-inch gun to shoot canary
and that the receil may be more
harmful than the bullet" He said that

The witness urged the committee

Discussions Resultin
Breaking of Strong
Triumvirate==
Her Stand.
Wants MiIitancy Dropped and
Others Are Opposed,

London, Feb. 6.-Miss Sylvia Pank-
hurst Friday announced her secession
from the Women's Social and Poiitf-
cal Union, the militant woman's or
ganization. The rift among the mill
tant suffragettes is said to be due to
Miss Sylvia Pankhurst's ultra -revolu
tsonary aspirations, which the leaders
of, the woman's Social and Political
Union are beginning to believe are
damaging their cause.
Reports of discussions in the inner
circles of the militant organization in
volving the Pankhurst triumvirate
have been in circulation for some
time According to these Christonel
Pankhurst is anxious to end her long
exile in Paris and to return to Lon
don and take control of the organiza-
ton, for it is doubtful If her mother,
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, who is still
in Switzerland, will be well enough
for some months to resume her ardu-
Gus duties of commander in chief
Therefore, it is said, she wants Mill
fancy dropped. In this stand she has
the support of many of the older men,
bers of the organization who believe
that while militancy has accomplish
ed the purpose of bringing the suf-
frage question to the front, continu-
ance of militant tactics will be in
furious to the cause. Sylvania Pank-
hurst on the other hand is not pre-
pared to abandon militancy until she
has fully tested the fighting capacity
of her Peoples army" which she or
ganized In the East End of London
and with which she Is credited as be-
lieving she can start revolution
which will force the government to
enfranchise women.
Several of the younger and more
ambitious members of the Woman's
Social and Political Union view with
unconcealed satisfaction the Pank-
hurst feud, believing that it will end
the autocratic sway the Pankhursts
have exercised over the society since
Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick Pethiek Law
renee were driven out of 1t last year.
