 WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Two more suffragettes were taken into cus- today owing to their refusal to move on at the command of the officers who are now keeping watch at the en- frances to the presidential mansion.
 The authorities have decided to stop the picketing of the White House gates and women attempting to take up stations, regardless of whether they carry banners or not. will be immediately arrested.
 The order has aroused deep indig- nation among the suffffragettes. The disturbances are however, deeply deplored by a large number of wo- men who believe that the riots will have a decidedly deterrent influence of their aims. However this may be, it is clear that such demonstrations are drowned upon by the majority and the women are coming in for much censure on the part of the general public.
