From Famous Billingsgate Shaft
Suffragettes Pelt Crowd With
Missiles and Literature.
LONDON, April IS.—Militant suf
fragettes to-day took possession of
the famous Billingsgate Monument
In the fish market district of Lon
don, just south of London Bridge,
and for several hours rained suffrage
literature and missiles upon the
crowds beneath. It stopped all tram,
vehicle and foot traffic In the streetn.
The women alternated their can
nonade of pamphlets with screams of
"Votes for women!" and “Victory or
death!” while the fish 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, were
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 beBet them. Two men refused
to descend the steps, and one woman
declared she would commit Buiclde 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 confuston. 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 the suffragettes. The wom
en, with hair down, dresses torn and
hysterical from rage and excitement,
continued to make a demonstration
In the street, and bystanders had to
help the police overpower them.
Three suffragettes still remained in
ihe top of the monument at noon, but
the police were preparing for an
other assault. If this failed, they
said they would lay siege to the mon
ument.

First Service of Festival Marking
Deliverance From Egypt Will
Be Held Monday.
The Feast of Passover, a Jewish
religious observance, begins Monday
evening at 8 o'clock, and the occasion
will be 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 be fes
tive in Us nature, the public worship
for Passover observance will be held
Monday evening at 6 o’clock, Tues
day morning at 10 o'clock and Sun
day afternoon at 6 o'clock. The last
serviae will be held the Monday
morning following,”
Short History Prepared.
The Central 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 has, from antiquity,
been taken to commemorate the de
liverance of the Israelites from Egypt
after 480 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
species 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
has been placed.
First Service Significant.
‘The most significant and beautifu#
aspect of the Passover celebration Is
the'service held within the Jewish
home on the first evening of the feast.
'The members of the family and
their 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, tho
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, the topic for pulpit dis-
qulsltoin on Passover—particularly in
tho ‘Reform’ synagogues, where
preaching Is a regular feature of the
services—Is related to the theme of
'liberty.' ”
PARIS, April 18.—By means of the
invention of an Italian engineer, Gal-
ettl, it Is hoped that within ten days
It will be possible to communicate
by wireless from Chambers’, in the
southeast of France, to New York.
A wireless station has been erected
on a high cliff in the village of Les-
chauz, near Chambery,
Dispensing with antennae, Gaietti
has set up two posts eight meters
(about 26 feet 3 inches) high. These
are connected by a wire from which
a series of other wires 900 meters
long (about 2,952 feet) converge to
the operator's cabin at the foot of the
cliff. Galettl obtained authority to
test his system from the 9Yench Post
Office Department, which, working in
co-operation with Italy and the
United States, expects eventually to
exploit the Leschauz station for the
purposes of direct communication
with New York. Gaietti expresses
satisfaction with ihe preliminary
trials.

the country’s champion gublrnatorial
walker, is gaining weight. In spite
of his daily hikes, the Governor is
“getting fleshier.” Therefore, the Gov
ernor has made this conclusion:
Hard work and long hours of labor
are NOT weight reducers.
In other words, if you want to get
fat. work hard.
Since he flret took office, Governor
Foss has gained eleven pounds. From
206 pounds he has attained an avoi-
dupois of 216.
Governor Foss says that hard work
and long hours do not cause a person
to become run down—If the work
agrees with the person performing it.
MACON. GA., April 18.—Attorney
John R. Cooper's trip by bicycle to
Perry this week will be remembered
by him as one of the most interesting
experiences of his life.
Mr. Cooper still believes in the bi
cycle, and he mounted his wheel to
ride to Perry, where he had several
cases to try in court. Leaving here
at 2 o’clock, he proceeded ten miles
when a tire was punctured. Failing
to make the repair by sundown, he
walked two miles, with the bicycle, to
a negro’s house. For $5 the darkey
was persuaded to hitch an old mule to
a dilapidated wagon.
Three miles farther on the road,
the wagon broke down, and it was
midnight before it was mended. At
2 o'clock in the morning the mule
walked off the bridge at Massey’s
Mill Into the creek, dragging the
wagon and its occupants with him.
Rescuing his bicycle, Colonel Coop
er bade the mule, wagon and darkey
farewell and began the last lap of
his journey by walking. For seven
miles he walked, pushing the bicycle.
At 8 o’clock, just before court con
vened, he arrived in Perry, having re
quired 18 hours to traverse the 28
miles, the distance from Macon.
He returned from Perry to-day—
by train.
