I An attempt to-day was made by
women to blow up a train on the

with pieces of leather filled with
small, sharp nails. “Votes for Wom
en" Is stamped on the leather.
Special guards were placed on pas
senger trains on the Midland Rail
road as the result of threats by mem
bers of the Women's Social and Po
litical Union. Precautionary meas
ures now'taken throughout England.

death threat was signed Suffra
gette." The bomb, which was turned
over to the police, consisted of a
tube filled with dynamite cartridges.

Westminster Abbey and confiscated
by the police. Attached to It was a
