pickets at both the west and east gates
Of the White House this afternoon, rip
ping down their yellow banners and
trampling them in the street.
Miss Hazel Hunkins, one of the pick
cts, climbed upon the paling OF the
White House fence, holding her flag
aloft in vain endeavor to save it. Mrs
Richardson climbed up after her and
after a bitter struggle wrenched the
banner away and tossed it to the howl
ing crowd.
These banners were old ones, asking
the president what he intended to do for
suffrage, which have been displayed at
the White House gates for months.
Police reserves were called out to
quell the rioting, in which several thou
sand men and large numbers of women
took part. Nearly ten thousand persons
witnessed the route of the suffrage
pickets.
Immediately after the first flags were
ripped to bits, duplicate of the denun
eiatory banner addressed to the Rus
sian commission was put up at the west
gate. The crowd made rush forward

the swapping Of its wooden framewsrl
and the wild cheering Of the crowd
which could be heard for blocks.

after noon along the entire front of the
White House to witness the erection OF

ran up to the yellow pennant held by
Miss, Hunkins and spit on it.

After a half hour Of legislative jock
eying today the house agreed to end
general debate at 2:30. Chairman Lever
of the agricultural committee failed TO
get unanimous consent to end debate
at once. Representative Cannon said
the bill should be discussed thoroughly
and tacitly threatened trouble when he
said quorum should be present at all
times.
Republicans will caucus tonight to
decide policy toward the bill and will
discuss possible amendments. They are
generally i'll favor Of the bin as prin-

Working to the end of reaching some
