TOP IF TOWER,
BATTLE POLICE
From Famous Billingsgate Shaft
Suffragettes Pelt Crowd With
Missiles and Literature,
"LONDON. April 18.—Militant **uf-
fragwtten to-day took possession of
the famous Billingsgate Monument
in the fish market district of Lon -
don, .lust south of London Bridge,
and for several hours rained suffrage
literature and missiles upon the
crowds beneath. It stopped all train,
vehicle and foot traffic in the streets.
The women alternated their can*
nonade of pamphlets with screams of
“Votes for women!” and “Victory or
death!” while the* flsh venders in the
streets below, enraged at the tie-up
of business, replied In that kind of
language which has made Billings
gate famous the world over.
Some of the fish merchants suf
fered physical injuries.
Flags of the suffrage colors, car
rying all manner of Inscriptions, w ere
hoisted on top of the monument.
Police Storm Stairway.
By making a concerted attack, po
licemen managed to storm the nar
row stairway leading to the top of
the monument, but there another dif
ficulty beset them. Two men refused
to descend the steps, and one woman
declared she would commit suicide by
hurling herself from the top of the
tower If any policeman laid hands on
her. Finding peaceable means inef
fectual, the officers made a sudden
rush, each grabbing a woman. The
scene then became one of the wild
est confusion. Shrieking, biting,
kicking and struggling, the women
were laboriously carried down the
stairway to the street.
Women Bite Officers.
In their rage the women scratched
the policemen’s faces and bit their
hands. Each officer bore the ear
marks that usually follow a scrim
mage with tlu* suffragettes. The wom
en, with hair down, dresses torn and
hysterical from rage and excitement,
continued to maki a demonstration
in the street, and bystanders had to
help the police overpower them.
Three suffragettes still remained in
the top of the monument at noon, hut
the police were preparing for an
other assault. If this failed, they
;*aid they would lay siege to the mon
ument.

Be Held Monday.
Tlie Feast of Passover, a Jewish
religious observance, begins Monday
evening at ft o’clock, and the occasion
will he marked by impressive serv
ices in all Jewish temples.
Rabbi David Marx, of the Hebrew
Benevolent Congregation, in speak
ing of the Passover celebration in
Atlanta, this morning said:
"While the entire week will he fes
tive In its nature, the public worship
for Passover observance will be held
Monday evening at ft o'c lock. Tues
day morning at 10 o’clock and Sun
day afternoon at 6 o'clock. The last
service will be held the Monday
morning following.”
Short History Prepared.
The Gontral Conference of Amer
ican Rabbis has prepared a short his
tory of the Feast of Passover, and
the* Important traditions of the cele
bration are set forth, in part, as fol
lows :
“Passover lias. from antiquity,
been taken to commemorate the* de
liverance of the Israelites from Egypt
after 430 years of servitude.
“Compliant with the Biblical com
mand, the observant Jew. during the
Passover week, abstains strictly from
the use- of all leavened substances. In
stead of the ordinary yeast bread, a
. i»ec h‘M of large cracker called Mat-
zoth, or unleavened bread, is eaten.
During Passover week the orthodox
Jew will not even use the same dishes
and utensils in which leavened food
ha« been placed.
First Service Significant.
"The most significant and beautiful
aspect of the- Passover celebration is
the service field within the Jewish
home on the first evening of the feast.
“The members of the family and
lheir guests sit around the supper ta
ble, which is spread with festive ele
gance. Upon the table are the ‘bitter
herbs’ and the roasted shank bone, the
egg. the parsley, the bowl of salt
water, the unleavened bread and oth
er symbols. The service is chanted
from a curious old book called the
'Haggadah,' which- tells about the de
liverance from Egypt.
“As a rule, tlie topic for pulpit dis-
quisitoin on Passover—particularly in
the ‘Reform’ synagogues, where
preaching is a regular feature of the
services— is related to the theme of
‘liberty.’ ”
