MRS.
PANKHURST'S SENTENCE
Noted Suffrage Turned Pale When She °Roc ived,
Three Years Hard Labor
A desp iteh from London. says :
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhunst, the
leader of the militant suffragettes,
was on Thursday found guilty and
sentenced to three years' penal
servitude at the Old Bailey sessions
on the charge of inciting persons to
commit, damage in respect to the_
bomb explosion at Lloyd George'e
country house at. Walton Heath.
The trial had lasted two days and
when the judge, Sir Charles Mon-
tague Lush, pronounced sentence
his speech was received with loud
cries of "'shame' from the militant
suffragettes, who crowded the
court. The jury had added a strong
recommendation for " mercy, and
when the judge pronounced sen-
tence the women rose in angry pro-
test.
As . Mrs. Pankhunst stood in the
prisoner's enclosure, her sympa-
thizerscheered. wildly and then
filed out of court singing "March
on, March on" to the tune of the
"Marseillaise."
Mrs. Pankhurst, who acted as
her own counsel, said she did not
-wish • to testify or to call any wit-
nesses. She spoke for 50 minutes,
:at times wandering so far from the
matter before the court, that the
:judge severely censured her. Speak-
ing withmuch feeling, Mrs,: Pank-
hurst fiercely criticized the man-
made laws, and said that the ci-
vorce law alone was .sufficient to
justify. A, revolution by the women.
In impassioned tones she declared
-that whatever might be her sen-
tence she would not submit. From
the very moment when she left the
court she would refuse to eat and
would start a, "hunger strike." She
would, she said, Dome out of prison
deacher alive at the earliest possi-
ble •mom,ent. •
Justice Lush, in summing up, told
the jury that Mrs. Pankhurst's
speeches were an admission 'that
she had incited to the, perpetration
of illegal acts.
Mrs. Pankhurst almost broke
down when the jury pronounced its
verdict. Leaning 'over the front
of the prisoner's enclosure and .ad-.
dressing the judge .Before he passed`
sentence, the said :
?If it is impossible to find a dif-
ferent verdict 3 want to say to you
and to the jury that it is your duty
as private citizens to do what you
can to put an end to -this state of
affairs." She then :repeated her
determination to end her sentence
as soon as possible, saying : "I do
not want to commit suicide. Life is
very dear to all of ue. I want to see
the women of this country enfran=
chised. I want to live until that
has been done. I will'.take the des-
perate remedy 'othe'r women rave
taken and I will keep it up as long
as I have an ounce of strength left
in me. I deliberately broke the
law, not hysterically and- not emo-
tionally, but. for fi -set sad _serious
urpoxe, because I honestly, believe
1t is tihe only eyed _.. movemeeet
will go on whether h fir.. die.
These women will go on until wo-
men have obtained the common
rights of citizenship as they shall
have over the civilized world before
this movement is over." -

Railway =Stations Wrecked and Trains ,Blown Up
By Explosives In London Suburbs
A despatch from tondgn' says
'The Suffragettes continued their
"reign of terror" on Friday. They
.burned a large unoccupied •house at
'Charleywood,., in Hertfordshire.
• •Only the walls of .the building were
left standing. The usual cards
bearing the legend, "Votes for Wo-
men," were found. The .loss is

the' recent ,acts attributed to the
'Suffragettes, principally the at-
tempts to destrcy railway property,
was the work of mein engaged by the

When .Roe. John Coburn donned whie•
kers and heavy dark blue spectacles and
bought a spat for the "gods' at the. Star
theatre the other afternoon be made a
hit with the ydung "sports" who frequent
the burlesque houses. Even if he had.
come to spy on the •performance, they a,
mired hie originality and the 'wanner in
which he carried out hili plan,
' The show was entitled "Dante's Daugh-
ters,' though in reality it was a made -
over performance of tho "Darling's; of
Paris, which got so much notoriety
through the exposures of Rev. R. B. fit.
Clair. Mn Coburn was aware of this foot
and decided to see the first performance.
So be donned his ,disguise and headed for
the gods. His blue glasses were so o a ue
he could hardly see, and he heel difficulty
getting up the stairs. The theatre at-
tendants put him in the back row and
wondered why the box office had sold a
ticket to a blind span, ashe soemod to
be. Then they got isaspioious. They knew
what "Dante's Daughters" really was and
were on the look -out for clergymen spies
like Mr: St. Clair, who visited tline pro-
duction last year. They examinod their
blind man closely, discovered hie disguise
and tried to eject him. But he, stood ]tie
ground, and they had to leave him for the
whole performanoo. As stated, the crowd
atlmirod his ingeniouemess and Pluck.*

is in sight, though it is too soon yet to
prophecy. An amalgamation. of what they
call the 'wheels," that is the management.
Of the circuits, sending out burlesque per-.
formancea, has resulted in the Star thea-
tre, Toronto„ being "'frozen out," and after
the present season it will no longer be.
able to get attraction of any kind from
its present source. The proprietor is try
ine to organize. a,,wlteel of his own to
inolucle other cities and Toronto, and he
may be successful. • •
,While there are two burlesque theatres
in Toronto, some comment has boon caused
by the fact that the eampaign for clean-
ing up the theatres, which found its chief
inspiration in Rev. -R. B. St. Claire reve-
lations 'and charges, has been almost en-
tirely directed against the Star.
A Newspaper C'cgsor.
Since the appointment of, Wm. Banks,
Sen., to the position of censor, there have,
however, been few complaints. lir.
Banks is a 'newspaper man of many years'"
standing, a prominent member of. the
Globe staff and foremost in various frater-
nal and social organizations. He, is a
canny' Scot of quick perception and shrewd
Judgment, with a will to back up his opin-
ions. So when be says something has to
be cut out, it is cut out. And that's the
end of it.
In his work he is assisted by two other
newspaper men,who devote Monday af-
ternoons and several evenings a week to
visiting tho various theatres and seeing
that everything is on the level.
Much of the censor's work does not ap-
pear on the surface. For example, it is.
said that lie virtually prohibited the ap-
pearance here tis season of Gertrude Hoff,
is that he put his foot down and said if
she nut on her act here he, would put her
in jail. Anyway she hasn't come yet.

MOWED DOWN 10 A MAN
Montenegrin Bomb Throwers Sacrifcced Their Lives
To Make Way For Infantry
A despatch from C'ettinje says:
G eat Tarabosch fort, which for
months has held the. allies off Scut-
ari, is now practically in the hands
of the Montenegrins, thanks to the
sacrifice` of 200 bomb -throwers,
every one of whom lost his life in
a last desperate effort to clear the
way tb the town, for the possession
of which Montenegro is ready, to
give up everything. These bomb -
throwers were all picked men,
chosen from several battalions.
Clambering up the mountain -side
under a murderous fire from the
Turkish guns, they cut the wire en-
tanglements, and getting to close
quarters, threw bombss' among the
Turks, thus opening the way for the
storming party. 'Not one of the
bomb -throwers returned, but they
had , accomplished their object,
and the Montenegrin infantry,,
following close upon them, charged
the trenches. The Turks held their
ground and a desperate hand-to-
hand fight ensued, lasting an hour,
and ending in victory for the Monte-
negrins, who lost 300 killed.. Tier.
after tier• of entrenchments had to
be taken, but the troops of the
Southern Division, under General
Martinobitch, to whom the -task bad
been assigned, overcame all. ob-
stacles..' The tactics followed, par-
ticularly in regard to the use of
bomb -throwers, were similar to
those adopted in the capture of Ad-
rianople. But in the ach-ance of
Adrianople the. soldiers who cut and
divided the wire entanglements sur-
rounding the forts were clad in
cuirasses and provided with shields.
.At Tarabosch the rough mountain-
side made it necessary for the Mon-
tenegrins to dispense with all im-
pedimenta.
