Bomb Squad Nearly Succeeds in
Attempt to Dynamite Saint
Paul's in London.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, May 7.—The suffragette
liynamtte 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 tight 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
larg e 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
the foot of the altar he saw a spir-
terlng 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 1
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 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 their campaign for the vote
Government is Alarmed.
Their anarchistic actions are caus
ing grave alarm to the officers of the
rnment. who are becoming more
and more perplexed as to how to stop
the outrages.
Leaders of the militants are threat-
■ ning to destroy all the imposing
aibredals 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 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.
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.
Hanging Is Urged for
Suffrage Dynamiters.
NEW YORK, May 7.—Lady
Swayne, wife of the Governor of Brit
ish Honduras, declares hanging is the
best cure for English suffragettes who
throw bombs.

Mrs. MvrtJe Bell.
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 Bill, hardly
over 19 years-old. was the speaker.
Her dark eyes snapped and she
stamped her foot when she related her
talc of marital unhappiness at the
Atlanta police station Wednesday.
Airs. Bell’s childhood home is Waco,
Texas. There’s where 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 parsed the half-century
mark, and has lived in Atlanta with
Mrs. Willie Butler, 25 Hightower
Street.
The young Adfe told a story of
being harassed by 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.
“I want to go back to my home in
Waco,” she said. ‘‘I lived there with
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 when I began to notice bis jeal
ous actions. He continually accused
me of looking at the young men I
would meet or of flirting with them.
When 1 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 his unmarried son
when he is at the house.
“Jack—that's my husband—made it
so disagreeable that 1 left him March
15, after we had been married only a
little more than a month.
“Npw I'm going home if I can get
there. And I don’t ever w ant to think
of such a thing as marriage again. I
was too young to think of marrying,
1 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
transportation to her home in Texas.

Don’t Look
Old Before
Yonr Time
W OMAN’S delicate system requires
more than ordinary care and at
tention— more care and attention than
it is given by the average woman.
Neglect it and ills soon creep in, and
the look of old age, sometimes quickly,
sometimes gradually follows.
That backache, so common among women, brings with it the sunken chest, the
headache, tired muscles, crow’s-feet, and soon the youthful body is no more youth
ful in appearance—and all because of lack of attention.
There is no reason why you should be so unfortunate, when yon have at your
disposal a remedy such as Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription- recommended
for over 40 years as a remedy for aiiments peculiar to women. We have thou
sands upon thousands of testimonials on file—the ___
