GO OVER HEAD
 OF GOVERNOR

Lieutenant Governor Wilson and Senator Dillon urged sufragists to go over Governor Holcomb's head for a
 meeting of the General Assembly to act upon the Federal Suffrage amend
 ment at the suffrage meeting, in west
 port yesterday. Let the legislators convene without the governors order.
 If there is any question of i1legal1ty.
 let those who oppose the plan take
 the matter to the Supreme Court. IL
 will then be a decision between the
 people and the one man who stands against their enfranchisement"
 Don't go to Hartford requesting
 again." Senator Dillon urged, the
 governor is laughing at you and will
 refuse you again and again until you
 force him. Until such time as the
 senators and representatives are in
 their places, and the governor is made to show his hand, there will be no special session. The inherent right of the people must, be expressed by their delegates and they are well within their rights to convene"
 The annual meeting will be held ir Ridgefeld, next month. Among those attending the lunch con and rAeeting from this vicinity uel c. Shaw, Mrs. F. H. Riley, Mrs B. w. Brownstein, Mrs. A.

TO CONCENT TRATE
 :. MEN IN SYRIA

; Constantinopae, May N.---There are
 many indications that French troops
 will evacuate Cficia within 30 days
 and concentrate their forces in Syria This would relieve strained situa- tion in Adana, AintaIb, Curfa and other points where Turks opposing French troops are operating outside of territory that will fbe under the French mandate for Syria
 It is believed the French will gather their forces to take over A1eppo for northern headquarters. Most of the French forces in Constantinople have already moved toward Alexandretta- the port of Aleppo. Beriut despatches say a French punitive expedition will
 be sent to Tyre and the neighfborhood 1 of Sidon to suppress attacks upon Christians. Reports of these attacks

the tenement house at 1875
Douglass Street, Brooklyn, last
night as q precaution against dis
order when City Marshal Peter
N. Carroll began the eviction Of
sixteen families who had refused

rent.
Twenty families have occupied
the house. The sixteen strikers,
it was said, agreed to meet the
raise if the landlord, j. G. Field

repairs. He said he would do
neither.

Farm Hands Herd
Bedford Fugifires
Fiue Girls Escape; Dash
Through Brush; Retreat
When Crangers appear

Five inmates Of the State Reforma-
tory for Women at Bedford broke line
and fed the grounds of the institution
yesterday, being recaptured only with
the assistance of farmhands on an ad-
joining estate.
Gladys Brown, said to have been the
ringleader, and the four others were
locked in cells in the disciplinary bar
racks after the break. They took it on
the run while Matron Nellie Terry was
escorting about twenty prisoners across
the campus.
Mrs. Terry was unable to give the
alarm until she had got the others
safely into building. Meanwhile. the
fugitives had waded through slush and
mud, climbed fences and penetrated
thick underbrush until they reached
the summer home of Henry Howe.
The foreman saw them coming, sum
moned his hired men, and they formed
a phalanx, which the girls apparently
did not care to face. They turned
back and ran into the arms Of guards
sent to pursue them.

LONDON, March 23.-The ARRAY in
Dublin last night in which an appar-
emily unruly body Of soldiers antago-
nized a crowd and then fired on the
people, killing woman and a man, has
aggravated dangerous situation. The
occurrence was Of the sort which might
easily be the precursor of a general
uprising, and was unusually unfortu-
nate in view Of the frame of mind Of
the country following the murder of
Thomas MacCurtain, Lord Mayor of
Cork
Although official and unofficial ac-
counts of the shooting differ, it is ap-
parent that the soldiers, about 200 in
number, had been to the Theater Royal
and, returning home, deliberately at
tracted hostility of passersby by sing
ing "Rule Britannia" md "Goi s'o',n
the King"-which, truly enough, are
national airs, but they are not so
recognized by all Irishmen.
Soldiers Open Fire
Minor clashes followed Immediately
soldiers were marching on their road
to the Portobello barracks. A nom
commissioned officer and several other
soldiers opened fire on civilians who
were throwing sticks and stones. A
military patrol was sent out from the
barracks Immediately to rescue the
soldiers, most Of whom were unarmed.
The officer in charge of the patrol
ordered ten rounds fired into the
crowd, but most Of the shots went
too high, as only three persons went
down. The official communique says
that the first shots were fired from
the crowd.
An armored car firing shots from IL
machine gun appeared on the scene
and aided in dispensing the crowd,
which broke up, and at midnight the
city was quiet.
Near Bursting Point
The incident has served to put Dub
lin in that same tension of nervous ex-
element which characterizes Cork.
The smouldering unrest is much nearer
bursting into flame as a result Until
last night the military had been able
to walk through the streets without a
mus of the people had been directed
chiefly against the police.
The soldiers are reported officially
to have resented the fact that the ma
tlonal anthem WAS not played after the
performance at the theater, as is GUS
tomary.
DUBLIN, March 23.-Armored cars.
police with drawn swords and an in
fantry guard wearing helmets escorted
judges of the Assizes Court at Galway

tice. in addressing the grand jury, said
there had been four murders, two rob-

crimes such as shooting into houses
since the last Assizes.
