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,
, whore 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 eight prominent
members and officers of the Wo
men's Social and Political Union, ar
rested Wednesday in a raid upon
the Union’s headquarters, were be
ing arraigned in How 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 adviBer to the “Vlo-
lenu« 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
oity with suffrage literature and
dropping dummy bombs in the
streets. The bombs will bear such
inscriptions as the women have used
on the placards apd implements of
destruction.
Miss MacCauiey, who presided at
last night’s demonstration of mill-
tants, declared to-day, “It is now war
to the knife.’’
’Home Secretary McKenna will
And that he has adopted a game that
two can play,” said Miss MacCauiey.
He will And we are not children
and that we have just begun to fight.”
Miss MacCauiey 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
1* attributed to the suffragettes.
In spite of the raid yesterday on
the ’stiffrag’ettes’ headquarters. The
Suffragette, somewhat diminished in
size, appeared on sale. ^
“It is the greatest blow the mili
tant women have yet received,” ac
cording, \o, 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
*>ut of prison on ticket of leave be
cause of illness resulting from a hun
ger strike, was mysteriously removed
*hi6 afternoon from the Nursing Home

THE PLAYS
THIS WEEK
Forsyth OffSrs Good Bill.
Smashing attendance records Is an old
trick of the Forsyth, and though the
new season is but a few days *t>ld, 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
baa not been a wasted second 'In the

For the coming week the star act will
be Gits Edwards* Kid Kabaret This la
a combination of seven pretty girls
and eight juvenile comedians, who have
been appearing In New York and Chi

Miss Bell Story will be an extra added
feature. This young lady has newer

ful entertainer, using her own songs
and exhibiting a wardrobe that will be

Others on the bill are so important
in modern vaddeville that it la believed
the show will be voted an event of the

"Butterfly on the Wheel" To-night.
To-night Miss Billy Long and her
ooxnpapy. which is playing a summer
season at the Atlanta, will return to
the city and again give "A Butterfly

Two new* members also make their debut
Monday night In the play. Keats now-
selling
"Billy, the Kid," at Lyric.
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 thl*
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 melodramatic
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 Lyrlo.
With the closing of the Lyric to
morrow 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. The Lvrlc
has been the home of some excellent
stock organizations In past seasons and
f >atrons of the house will doubtless be
nterested in knowing that plans for
summer stock are again under way.
MONTGOMERY. ALA., May 2.
Governor O'Neal has dismissed his
private secretary, his recording sec
retary and his personal stenographer,
thereby removing the whole clerical
j force of the Executive Office. The
l resignations were demanded yester-
| day afternoon late and all three of
ficials complied Immediately with the
I request. The retiring officials are
John I/. McNeel. private secretary;
James H. Nunnally, recording secre
tary. ami T. D. Simpson, personal
stenographer.
The /ernor said that as McNeel
is a candidate for a position under the
Wilson administration and Nunnally
Is a candidate for Secretary of State
of Alabama.* their connection yvith
his office is embarrassing.
No reason is given for Simpson’s
, removal. The public takes the Gover
nor's statement with a grain of salt
and believes something else Is behind
the removals.
Mr. McNeel is succeeded by Daniel
Troy, a prominent Montgomery law
yer. w*ho 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.

her left hand, placing the tip of the
finger between her eyes and removing
the bone nearest the palm of th?
hand to form the tip or the artificial
nose.
The doctors said the skin was knit
ting well and that the blood supply
apparently was uninterrupted. The
