Demands For Drastic Pun ishment Heard on Every Side Lor >d° n . —Expressions of anger at the vandalism of the suffragettes were more vehement than ever today among the j genial public, which was roused to a state of intense excite ment by yesterday’s attempt to blow up the historic coronation stone and chair in Westminster Abbey and still further angered today by a determin ed effort to burn the ancient church of §t. Margaret’s. Demands for the drastic punish ment of the women engaged in this campaign of destruction are heard on every side. The leniency of the government in releasing the women ''rminals after a few days detention in jail is generally condemned. Quick Work. Only quick work by the rector, the Rev. Wm, H. Stone, and villagers saved the historic structure at St. Margaret’s this morning. Threet distinct fires, fed by fire lighters, composed of squares of felt saturated with oil, were set by the “arson squad.” The hope was widely expressed to day that Reginald McKenna's sugges tion of the prosecution of subscribers to the funds of the militant suffra gette organization would stop to a large extent the flow of income to the coffers of the women engaged in the widespread activities under taken by that society. “Education” Fund. Tt is known that much of the money handed over by the largest subscribers is sent with the earmark “education,” Mrs. Emmeline Pank hurst, the militant leader, being left to decide what that means. It is be lieved, however, that this provision to the gifts will not prevent the law reaching the persons who provide the funds used for crime. Closer examination today of the coronation chair in Edward, the Con fessors Chapel, showed that the dam age was slight and easily repaired. The coronation stone was not injur ed at all. In fact most of the dam age done affected the wall of the chapel behind the chair. Extensive Precutlone. The abbey was open as usual today except for the chapel where the bomb was placed and In which an Im mense amount of soot, dust ami dirt fell as the result of the explosion A large congregation composed most ly of women attended morning ser vice. Extensive precautions were taken and every visitor was closely scrutinized. The police have the de scription of a number of women who were seen in the vicinity before yes terday’s explosion, but no arrest ha* yet been made.
