Even the King Warned to I Stay at Home. Riot at Pankhurst Meeting in Finsbury Park. NfrLondon, July 21. --Completely terror- ised by the suffragettes, Britain'spublic men a,re guarded ate at a time of Nihil- istic activity in Russia. They are no longer worried by the risk of mere an- noyance. They fear for their lives and - the safety of their fatuities. King Ceorge's advisere have warned • him strongly against ttny public appear- anees for the present. Scotland Yard's ingenuity and resources are taxed to the utmost to protect the Cabinet, their wives and chtldren and, their homes. The police are convinced that the vot.eti for women militants have entered .upon a campaign of arson and. homicide. There is no question that an attempt WaS 11111d0 to burn the home- of one member of the Cabinet. The hangings of the Dublin Theatre. where Premier Asquith spoke last night, were set on tire. That the gunpowder found. in the rnoms of a party of suffragette demon- strators vete intended to blow up the theatre the suffragettes themselves do not deny. ft is egreed that the hatchet thrown by a suffragette at the Premier in. Dublin on Friday narrowly missed him. The Woman's Social and Political Union issued a statement commending all these demonstrations. It is feared that this will inspire further violence. Premier .Asquith, Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd -George, Home Secre- tary hIcKen»a, Winston Churchill, the First Lord of the Admiralty, and other Cabinet Ministers have received the most ferocious threats anonymously of what will happen. to them unless they fleelaxe for equal rights at the polls. Not only are they assured that they are in danger of being kflled, but that the burning of their homes and the kidnap- ping of their children are planned. The bitterness and determination of the suffragette campaign were again evidenced. yesterday afternoon, when Premier .Asquith was attacked at the clacker hallway Station on his return journea. from Dublin. Another attack was attempted upon hie arrival here. At Chester Dr. Jessie Mem). and Mary Only, two suffragettes, rushed the Premer and shouted: "Be warned in time." Other -women eydio resented the attack on Mr. Asquith, turned on the suffragettes and were handling them rottehly when it clergyman, wigs was etending nearby, reeened them. The two women were detained by the pollee. On the arrival of the Prime Minister's train at latish -tit Station to -night an- nther \roman attempted to ethic.]: 'Mr. .asquith, but was prevented, Premier Aspiith's .iron nerve is said to be shaken, n»ct the result upon his health is beginning to give his friends some anxiety. Even alr. Lloyd-aeorge, who has faced many disquieting sittta- tion »onebalantly enough, is -showing signs of nervousness.

London, July 21.—A. suffragette de. monstra tion in Finsbury Park, organiz- ed tltis afternoon by Sylvie Pankhurst, the younger of the two daughters of :atm Emmeline Pankhoret, ended. in it riot. Ten thousand persons surrounded the four platforms from which address- es were made. Th was obvious from the very outset that a majority of those in attendance were hostile to the cause. The 111818 - Once of the WWI= orators in contin- uing their speeches in defiance of the hooting and cheering and singing gener- ally araueed the auger of the crowd and what was clearly eeuffling at first led to fighting. The police were helpless at first, and were reinforced, but not in sufficient numbers. The people were thrown down in suecessive ruelies and many women and ehildren were with diffieul- iy resoued from being trampled under the feet of the mob. The speeches of the women could not he heard. -r\ Jrt. ‘'t* BRITISH VISIT, One Manufacturer to Locate In Port Arthur.

Sheridan, treasurer of the Square Deal Realty Company, Victoria stret, committed suicide on sacuraay afternoon in the office of the New Toronto foundry of the Pease Foundry Company, by shooting himself through the head witli an automatic revolver. Despondency brought on by finan- cial troubles is believed to have been the cause of the suicide, as a letter was left by the dead man im which he made startling allegations against a number of men. Coroner Ricker was notified of the death, but after an in- vestigation, decided that an inquest would not be necessary. At the time Sheridan shot himself no person was in the office. He came in about 3 o'elock, and asked Chester Beswielt, a core maker, and George Cooper, a moulder, who were working late, if he could use the office tele- phone. He then walked into the of- fice, and closed the door. .A. few minutes later a shot was heard, and the two men rushed into the office. Sheridan was found lying in a huddled head on the floor, at the side of a chair, with a bullet -hole in his left temple. The revolver was lying almost underneath him. It is thought that he sat down in the chair and shot himself, as it note was lying on the table, hastily written, and request- ing that one of the men call up his offiee, and notify them of his death. Sheridan was 66 years old ,and bad resided in Toronto for about 25 years. He was a well known figure in busi- ness circles, and was a shareholder in. the Pease IPurnace CoMpany. He was married, and leaves a widow and one daughter. He was born in Ful- ton, N.Y., where his body was shipped last night in charge of his wife and (laugh t er.
