Bomb Squad Nearly Succeeds in
Attempt to Dynamite Saint
Paul’s in London.
FRANCHISE BILL IS DEFEATED
Militants Threaten to Demolish
Westminster Abbey and Poison
Prize Dogs and Horses.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, May 7.—Tbe suffra«ett«
dynamite squad to-day attempted to
blow up St. Paul’s Cathedral, the larg
est and most magnlfleent Protestant
church in the world.
A Tew minutes later another bomb
was discovered near the building oc
cupied by The Star, a Liberal news
paper which has been supporting the
(Jovemment In its fight against grant
ing the franchise to women.
A third bomb was discovered in the
business district near a building oc
cupied by a firm of wholesale chem
ists. But for the vigilance of the
police and of special watchmen a
large area of London would have been
blown up.
A policeman on his beat near St.
Paul's Cathedral saw two women
emerge from the church during the
early morning hours. His suspicions
vere aroused and he investigated. At
the foot of the altar he saw a sput-
leiing fuse and extinguished it with
his foot.
Near Explosion When Found.
The fuse was attached to a pow
erful bomb and had almost burned
to the Ignition point when the police
man arrived. Delay of a few mo
ments would have meant the possible
destruction of the Cathedral.
The bomb was taken to Scotian!
Tard where tt was examined. It
was found to contain gunpowdar,
guncotton and dynamite. It had
two detonators. The bomb which was
discovered near The Star office in
Boverie Street was of similar con
struction.
Since the defeat in the House of
Commons last night of the female suf
frage bill by a vote of 266 against
219, the militants have been aroused
to a pitch of frenzy heretofore not
seen In tfieir campaign for the vote.
Government is Alarmed.
Their anarchistic actions are caus
ing grave alarm to the officers of the
Government, who are becoming more
and more perplexed as to how to stop
the outrages.
Leaders of the militants are threat
ening to destroy all the imposing
cathredals in England.
Another threat Is made to kill every
prize-winning dog and race horse.
This threat was contained in a letter
received by Miss Violet Cross, owner
of Choo-Tai, the $10,000 prize-winning
Pekinese, which was poisoned by mil
itants. The letter said:
Will Stop at Nothing.
. “Madame—We are very sorry your
pretty dog was sacrificed, but our
rules must be inexorably enforced,
and we are resolved to stop at noth
ing now. Every valuable prize-win
ning dog or race horse will be maimed
or killed when (he chance presents
itself until we get votes/
Never- before in its history has Scot
land Yard been so active. Special
squads to deal with suffragettes are
being formed to patrol the city. A
constant guard will be kept around
Westminster Abbey, for the women
are threatening lo blow up that mag
nificent edifice.
Tried to Assure Blast.
Prom Scotland Yard the St. Paul's
bomb was taken to the Home Office.
It was found that in addition to the
fuse the bomb had an electrical ap
paratus to insure an explosion in
case the fuse went out. Private
watchmen have been guarding the
cathedral since the suffrage militancy
became acutely dangerous, and the
police are puzzled to ascertain how
the women entered the church with
out being seen.
As a result of the attempt upon the
cathedral, the edifice was closed to
the public. Even foreign tourists who
were Unable to prove their identity
were refused admission.

MACON. GA„ May 7.—The City

Mrs. Myrtle Bell, 19, Longs for
Waco, Texas—Doesn’t Know
Why She Married.
“I’ve enough of matrimony!
“This thing of being an ‘old man’s
darling’ is all a fairy tale.”
Pretty Mrs. Myrtle Bell, hardly
over 19 years old. was the speaker.
Her dark eyes snapped and she
stamped her foot when she related her
tale of marital unhappiness at the
Atlanta police station Wednesday.
Mns. Bell’s childhood home is Waco,
Texas. There’s w r here she wants to
go. As Mrs. Bell she has passed
through a brief and tempestuous
month in Marietta, she told the po
lice. Since the middle of March she
has been separated from her husband,
who has passed the half-century
mark, and has lived in Atlanta with
Mrs. Willie Butler, 25 Hightower
Street.
The young wife told a story of
being harassed Dy her husband’s jeal
ousies,and ill treatment, and declared
that she can't understod why she ever
married him.
Longs for Her Texas Home.
“1 want to go back to my home in

my mother. Mrs. Violet James, until
I was adopted by another woman.
Mrs. Mary Doudy, who also lives in
Waco. One of Mrs. Doudy’s relatives,
a farmer living about a mile from
Marietta, came to visit her and fell
violently In love with me.
“He is over 50 years old, and I don’t
know how he ever persuaded me to
consent to marry him, but I did. He
returned to Marietta and sent me the
money to come.
“We had been married only a few
days w'hen I began to notice his jeal
ous actions. He continually accused
me of looking at the young men I
would meet or of flirting with them.
When I went along the street I had to
look right down at the ground or he
would get angry at me.
“Jealous of His Son.”
“He has two sons and two daugh
ters and they are all older than I.
All are married, with the exception of
one of the sons, and the father even
gets jealous of hts unmarried son
when he is at the house.
“Jack—that’s my husband—made it
so disagreeable that I left him March
15, after we had been married only a
little more than a month.
“Now I’m going home If I can get
there. And l don’t ever want to think
of such a thing as marriage again, I
was too young to think of marrying.
I don’t know why I did it.”
Mrs. Bell is being cared for by Mrs.
Bohnefeld, the police matron, until
arrangements are made for the girl’s

RAILWAYS MUST FURNISH
ALL SHIPPERS TARIFFS
WASHINGTON, May 7.—Tne
question as to whether it is un
justly discriminatory for a railroad
to furnish copies of Its tariffs to one
shipper and deny them to another
was to-day decided in the affirmative
by the interstate Commerce Com
mission. The Commission ordered
the roads to publish their
The circumstances of the murder
were such as to leave the killing with
out any understandable motive if this
presupposed crime was not accom
plished. For this reason the reports
of the outrage were accepted by
everyone as true, and the authorities
themselves have been working on this
theory.
Solicitor Would Clear Uncertainty.
If the examination on the second
exhumation proves the contention of
the expert physician, the detectives
will have iJiifictiU*y in fixing a motive
for the murder.
Solicitor General Dorsey ordered
that the body be exhumed a second
time so that the opinion of the ex
pert physician might be either posi
tively established or disproved be
yond a doubt. The conflicting theo
ries which have arisen since the body
was exhumed last Monday have cast
a shadow of uncertainty over the in
vestigation that the Solicitor was de
sirous of dispelling at once and for
good.
The order for the second exhuma
tion was given by Solicitor Dorsey,
but it had not been made up to 2
o’clock on Wednesday.
Coroner Donehoo admitted that
Dorsey's order had been given, but
hM it had not been carried out. He
would make no further statement.
The report published in an early
edition of The Georgian that the body
had been exhumed was made on state
ments by officials, and that it was
for the jHirpose of making a micro
scopic examination of every wound on
the body for finger prints and other
clews.
It In undoubtedly the intention of
the authorities to exhume the body
again.
Dorsey Maintains Siienca.
Very properly Solicitor Dorsey is
not making public every move that
the prosecution is engaged in, nor 1*
he giving to the public such evidence
a* he is pnabled to obtain.
It would aeem probably that he
exhumation will be made, if not on
Wednesday, at least some other day
soon; for the belief is growing that
there still may be some clews that
are worthy of further examination.
Parents Object to Exhumation.
Solicitor Dorsey Instructed Coro
ner Donehoo to secure the permis
sion of the girl’s parents before or
dering the exhumation of the body,
and Coroner Donehoo said Wednesday
afternoon that the father of the dead
girl, J. VV. Coleman, was very much
excited over the reports that the body
had been exhumed Wednesday morn
ing. The Coroner called on Mr. Cole
man and assured him that the body
had not been taken from its grave in
Marietta.
Though none of the officials would
make a statement to that effect, it is
probable that the opposition whic>
developed from the girl’s parents ha--
caused The "officials to abandon their
plans to exhume the body, for the
present, at least.
It was reported that the finger
prints on the body were to be photo
graphed and compared with the An
ger prints of persons under suspi
cion; which may, or may net have
any basis in facte and might, or might
not be of value. After the remains
were discovered in the factory base
ment they were handled by several
prsons—embalmers and oth«T»—and
whether there are any Anger prints
now on the body is problematic.
It is said that a complete chart will
