EVENING EDITION SUFFRAGETTES i TIT Tl WRECK BIG CATHEDRAE 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.—The suffragette dynamite squad to-day attempted to blow up St. Paul’s Cathedral, the larg est and most magnificent Protestant church in the world. A few minutes later another bomb was discovered near the building oc cupied by The Star, a Liberal news paper which has been supporting the Government 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 ltirg> 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 were aroused and he investigated. At w \4)e foot of the altar lie saw a sput tering 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 Scotland Yard where It was examined. It was found to contain gunpowder, guncotton and dynamite. It had two detonators. The bomb which was discovered near The Star office iu 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 their 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, i>.d we arc resolved to stop at noth ing now. Every valuable prize-win ning dog or race horse will be maimed or killed when the 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 to blow up that mag nificent edifice. Tried to Assure Blast. From 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. A* 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.

A difference of opinion as to the advisabilit yof the exhuma-; tion evidently has arisen, but the officials concerned were reticent. Coroner Donehoo admitted that Dorsey’s order had been given, but said it had not been carried out. lie would make no further statement. The report published iri 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 purpose of making a micro scopic examination of every wound on the body for finger prints and other clews. It Is ufifMMBTefily the intention of the authorities to exhume the body again. Dorsey Maintains Silence. Very properly Solicitor Dorsey is not making public every move that the prosecution Is engaged in, nor is he giving to the public such evidence as he is enabled to obtain. It would seem probably that he exhumation will be ma(je, If not on Wednesday, at least some other day soon; for tlie belief Is growing that there still may be some clews thit are worthy of further examination. It was reported that the finger prints on the body were to be photo graphed and compared w’ith the fin ger prints of persons under suspi cion; which may, or may not have any basis in facts and might, or might not be of value. After the remains were discovered in the factory base ment they were handled by sevral prsons—embalmers and others—and whether there are any finger print* now on the body is problematic. Chart May Be Made. It is said that a complete chart, will be prepared by medical experts to be used at the trial, allowing every wmund and mark. Notwithstanding these speculations as to the purpose of the exhumation. Solicitor Dorsey declared Wednesday forenoon that it was not for the pur pose of obtaining a record of the fin gerprints. One of the principal rea sons for the action, he said, was to get a strand of the girl s hair in or der to compare it with the hair found on the lathing machine in the tip ping department at the factory. It was at this point that the detectives discovered blood spots on the floor and other evidence* of a struggle. "I cannot talk in regard to the matter,” he said. "The body was ex humed, it is true, at my request. But to reveal further plans would be hurt ful.” Thinks She Didn’t Leave Factory. The Solicitor is in entire accord with the theory that Mary Phagan never left the factory after she re ceived her pay Saturday noon. H* declared that if any search was being made for the man feen with a girl Saturday, April 26, by attaches of the Terminal Station. It was not being conducted under his direction. The results of the chemical analy sis in the laboratory of Dr. Harris in the State Capitol have not yet been made public. Dr. Harris would not admit Wednesday that traces of drugs had been found, bearing out the belief that the girl was drugged and rendered helpless before she wa? slain in the factory.
