TERRORIZED BY
SUFFRAGETTES
Arson and Homicide Cam-
paign by Women.
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.

HE SUTCIDED
Toronto Real Estate Man
Shot Himself.
1•80.11/•••••.•1••
Toronto, July 22.—John T. 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

Montreal, July 22. --Declaring that
the yellow press of Canada, whieh talk-
ed incessantly about war between Great
Britain and Germany, were traitors to
the empire, Rev. rsnil Von Jestinsky,
pastor of the German Lutheran Chureh
here, last night, announced his inten-
tion of travelling through Ontario as
an evangelist of peace. He contended
that nothing was more unlikely then
war between these two countries, if
feeling W114 not embittered by the pub-
lication of scurriloute untruths About
their relations in the newepapers.
-11r, Von jestinksy continued by say-
ing that Great Britain and Germany
were tile Lwo greatest Christian nations
in the Warta and their people were
brothers, He says he would proclaim his
doctrine in every part of Ontario where
there are Germans, whose support was
needed to correet the inieetittements be-
ing publisbea throughout Canada.
