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." - SUFFritAG TTFS ON WAR PATH 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 412,500. The police believe that some of the' recent ,acts attributed to the 'Suffragettes, principally the at- tempts to destrcy railway property, was the work of mein engaged by the women. All th,e railway. stations land ttunnelie , are 'being patrolled in order to prevent miscreants from ciaenaging them. Warnings were sent out -on F,ri,day by the director- ates of the railroad systems throughout the United IKingdom to the effect that militant Suffragettes had threatened to burn stations in various -parts of the ao.untry, Pa-. trols were ordered to be organized at all stations said in the tunnels.

This is by OUR LETTER FROM TORONTO' WHAT IS BEiNG MOSTLY DISCUSSED AT THE PRESENT TIME, Rov. John Coburn at the Stair-Theat,o Plays are .Censored -Worlds Big- gest Cross -Toronto Growing. 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.* It is possible the end of the Star theatre. 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. Mr. O'Keefe's Illness.

Captain Watson says :— "I heard from a shipmaster who had a conversation with Com- mander Evans at Lyttelton that at the time when Captain Oates left the, others in the tent and went out- side he had no feeling, having lost his feet through frostbite.- Some time previously I also heard that when the party set out, to look "for the Southern party and later dis- covered the bodies, they were so at- tenuated as to be unrecognizable."

Toronto's growth shows no sign of slack- ening off. Building permits for the month of March totalled practically 52,000,000, as compared to $1,500,000 in Mare/4'1912.

There will also be a new 5300,000 tbeatre, the new Dominion Bank building and other important structures. Hon. W. T. White. Toronto people, regardless of •party poities, are following the.. Finance Minis- ter's career with the kdeneet- interest. Hon. W. T.

' 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.
