FOUR DIE INBLAST ON WARSHIP.
HA MB ERG. GERMANY, May 14
Four men were killed and three mor
tally hurt to-day by :he explosion of a
cylinder aboard the German torpedo
boat destroyer S-149, during maneu
vers off Heligoland.
Scores of Lives Saved When
Explosives Are Discovered.
Another Mansion Burned.
pecial Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON. May 14.—Train wreck
ing is the latest form of violence at
tempted by the mljltant suffragettes.
An attempt to-day was made by
women to blow up a train on the
London and Southwestern Railway,
.hut the plot failed owing to the vigi
lance of the guards. Three bombs
were found in a crowded carriage of
a passenger train. If an explosion had
occurred, scores of lives would have
been lost.
Militant women burned The High
lands, a mansion at Sandgate, caus
ing damage estimated at $3,000. Sand-
gate is two miles from Folkstone,
overlooking the English Channel.
Puncturing of motor car tires is
another freak of the militants. Fre
quented highways are being strewn
with pieces of leather filled with
small, sharp nails. “Votes for V\om-
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. v Precautionary meas
ures now taken throughout England.
Including guarding railway trains
golf links, cathedrals, government
buildings and cabinet ministers, are
costing $50,000 a week.
A death threat accompanied by a
bomb was delivered at the chambers
of Bow Strict Court to-day ad
dressed to Magistrate Curtis. The
death threat was signed “Suffra
gette.’' The bomb, which was turned
over to the police, consisted of a
tube filled witty dynamite cartridges.
Magistrate Curtis has sentenced a
number of militant suffragettes.
A dummy bomb was found near
Westminster Abbey and confiscated
by the police. Attached to it was a
card upon which was written: “Votes
for women. This is only a warning.
Death to men who oppose us.”
Gets Term Commuted
To Nurse Dying Wife
Jim Henry, one of the Floyd Coun
ty “blind tiger” operators sentenced
to twelve months in the chaingang
and six months in jail, with an .alter
native fine of $500, was granted a
commutation of sentence to a $150
fine by Governor Brown Wednesday.
Henry told the Prison <’oinmission
his wife was suffering from cancer
and was regarded by the physicians
as incurable. He said his imprison
ment was hastening her death and
asked that he might be allowed to go
home and assist in caring for her.
Another case of interest was the
appeal of Steve Tompkins to be al
lowed to attend the funeral of his
wife, who had Just died at Alamo,
Wheeler County,. The request was
granted.
