TTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAY AND NEWS, FRIDAY, MAY 2. 1013. SUFFRAGETTES Publisher of Militants’ Paper Is Jailed, Eight Leaders Arraigned in Drastic Warfare, LONDON, May 2.—The Govern ment continued its drastic warfare against the militant suffragettes to day. F. J. Drew, manager of the Victoria House Printing Company, where the militants' newspaper. The Suffragette, was issued yesterday, was placed under arrest charged with complicity in an illegal act. In spite of the arrest, the women editors of the paper declared it would be on the streets this evening as usual. While officers were taking Drew into custody, the eighf prominent members and officers of the Wo men's Social and Political Union, ar rested Wednesday ip a raid upon the Union’s headquarters, were be ing arraigned in Bow Street Court. The women arraigned were Miss Barbara Kerr, secretary of the Union; Miss Annie Kenney, business mana ger; Flora Drummond, known as "General,” and adviser to the “Vio lence Committee;” Miss Lake, Miss Lennox, Miss Barrett, Mrs. Saunders and one other. Aeroplane Campaign Planned. They were charged with destruction of property, conspiracy and inciting others to violence. Scotland Yard has learned of a new plan, that of having several aero planes fly over London, deluging the city with suffrage literature and dropping dummy bombs in the streets. The bombs will bear such inscriptions as the women have used on the placards and implements of destruction. Miss MacCauley, who presided at last night’s demonstration of mili- lants, declared to-day, “It is now war 10 the knife.” “Home Secretary McKenna will And that he has adopted a game that two can play,” said Miss MacCauley. ■lie will find we are not children and that we have just begun to tight.” .Miss MacCauley would not say what dire consequences would follow if the Government continued using iron hand methods against the mili tants. Rail Disaster Averted. A disaster in which many lives might have been lost was averted to day at the Piccadilly Circus Station of the Subway when a track walker found a package containing a bottle of nitroglycerine on the track. He just had time to remove it from the rails when a crowded express train thundered by. The attempted outrage is attributed to the suffragettes. In spite of the raid yesterday on the suffragettes’ • headquarters, The Suffragette, somewhat diminished in size, appeared on sale. "It is the greatest blow the mili tant women have yet received, ac cording to The Daily Chronicle, speaking of the raid, “It is the first step toward the complete suppression of the militant suffragette movement,” says The Daily News. Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst. who is out of prison on ticket of leave be cause of illness resulting from a hun ger strike, was mysteriously removed this afternoon from the Nursing Home in Norfolk Square to another nursing home in Woking.

GOVERNOR OUSTS TMTEDTRIOTO HIS SECRETARIES 1 NIGHT SCHOOL THE PLAYS TBS WEEK Forayth Offers Good Bill. Smashing attendance records is an old trick of the Forsyth, and though the I new season is but a few days old, the figures for attendance already eclipse any past records. The vaudeville bill Is a. good one. The house has been crowded at every performance. There has not been a wasted second in the entertainment. All the acts have seof- ed real triumphs in hits. For the coming week the star act will be (Jus Edwards Kid Kabaret. This is a. combination of seven pretty girls and eight juvenile comedians, who have been appearing In New York and Chi cago exclusively since last September. Miss Bell Story will be an extra added feature. This young lady has never been seen here before.

It doubtless will be unwelcome news to patrons of the Lyric to know that the present attraction will be the last of the regular theatrical season at this house. “Billy, the Kid,” has played to large audiences, and lovers of melo drama have voted the attraction one of the most pleasing in a melodramati* way of the season. The three remain ing performances should draw large audiences, as the advance sale gives promise of good attendance. Stock Planned for Lyric. With the closing of the Lyric to- nlohrow night this house will undergo a thorough renovation, pending the or ganization, and rehearsing of a stock company to present high-class plays during the summer season.

May 2 — Governor O’Neal has dismissed his private secretary, his recording sec retary and his personal stenographer, thereby removing the whole clerical force of the Executive Office.

Mr. McNeel is succeeded by Daniel Troy, a prominent Montgomery law yer. who will assume his new' duties to-day. Mr. Nunnally is succeeded by .John Moffatt, for years chief clerk' at the Exchange Hotel. No announce ment has been made as to Simpson’s successor.
