EGOULD PANKHURST| The Acknowledged Leader of the Militant Suf- fragettes of ARRIVED IN NEW YORK LAST NIGHT Met at White Star Pier by Croup of \ew York Wemen Carrying Banners Lab:lled “Votes for Women”— Why She Comes to America—Describss Her Prison Experience—She Stoutly Defends Militant Tactics. New York, Oct. 20.—A quiet little roup of New York women, bearing ners labelled “Votes for Women. stood on 4 White Star line pler to night and welcomed to America Mrs. Emmeline Gould Pankhurst of Man- chester, England, the leader of ‘the militant suffragettes of Great Brit- ain, Quiet Reception. In accordance with the rulings of the customs authorities, less than twenty persons were admitted upon the dock and the reception to the lit- tle woman who has served two terms of imprisonment for. her activity in the cause of woman suffrage, was de- void of clamor and smacked nothing of the vigorous ~methods for which Mrs. Pankhurst has been sponsor. But immediately she set foot on the shore she was whisked away by her admir- ers in this coumtry to the suffrage headquarters at 502 Fifth avenue. Typical English Woman. Mrs. Pankhurst is slight of stature and has a wealth of brown hair which is just turning gray. She looked the typical English woman and was be- comingly dressed in a dress of dark material. She was dining when (he big liner Oceanic worked her way up to the pler, but when she hagd fin- ished she announced that she was ready to answer any and all questions of the reporters. N “l am coming to Ameri she said, “to speak on the subject of equal rights for women and to study the sit- uation in this country. I think we are away ahead of you in this matter.” Suffered. Solitary Confinement. As she talked Mrs. Pankhurst dis- played a little medallion she ‘wore and explained that it was a distinguishing mark worn by those English women who have been imprisoned for the cduse. I suffered solitary confine- ment,” she continued, “and had only ane.hour of exercise oit of the twen- ty-four. During the other twenty- three 1 was confined in a little cell, eighf by ten feet. I had cell 47 on the. second floor of Holloway prison, and T wore the regular prison -gar, too, but I did not bring this costume to New York with me. Satisfactory Progress in England. *“The movement is progressing satis- factorily in m’:fi " she went on. “We have pl .-from. practically two-~thirds of the mewbers of par- t to vote for us as soon as & bill_is prepared by the government. And we expect sooner or Jater to com- pel the government.to introduce the Great Britain bill. Just when this will come to pass I am not prepared to say.” Why Not Rush the House of Com- mons? Pankhurst ~ stoutly tacties. “All_grpat move- ments have been worked out by vio- Vlence,” she said. ‘he American peo- ple secured their liberty by violence, s0 awhy not rush the house of com- mons to obtain what we regard as our rights? The ballot granted-to women will make them more intelligent, less self-centered, and on. the whole much better citizens. “Don’t you - think that there would be corrupt women politicians and wo- men ‘ward heelers'?” Mrs. Pankhurst was gsked. At this she laughed outright. Then, after a pause, she said: “Welj, 1 dom't think it could make politics worse, at any rate. | Always a Suffragette. Mrs, Pankhurst said that she had been a suffragette as long as sie could rememper. She went to meet- ings in faver of the emancipation of women when she was only fourteen vears of age, accompanied by her mother, who was hersclf an ardent advocate of the cause. Mrs. Pankhurst's Ca Mrs, Pankhurst will remain ited States until. November 3 She was born in Manchester, but was educated in Paris and lived in surroundings that were intensely rad- ical. Thirty years ago she married Dr. Pankhurst, who in 1870 drafted a woman's suffrage bill which was in- troduced in the house of commons by Jucob Bright, and passed the second | reading before it finally met with de- | feat. Her activity at that time re- |, sulted in her being placed on the ex- ‘ecutive committee of the only woman suffrage society then in existence. For a number of years she served in the Manchester board of poor law guardians, and was appointed registrar of births and deaths in 1899 after the death of her husband. Fourteen Weeks in Prison. Mrs.. Pankhurst’s clashes with the police already have cost her 14 weeks | in prison, which she served in two | stallments last year, and it is pos ble that another prison t will be her lot on returning ‘home' from the United States, because her appeal, which 1s to be heard next month against the sentence imposed on her last June for attempting to present a petition to the Brit#ih prime min- ister, may be decided against her.

Hartford, Oct. 20.—Presideht John A. Moffat's address made beforg the convention of the United Hatters of North America, in 1908, in New York, was read to the jury 'in the United States circuit court this afternoon, in connection with the . $240,000 damage suit of D. E. Loewe of Danbury against the mempers of the Hatters’ union of this stafe. It contained ex- tended reference to the fights being Jvaged by the organization against “unfair’ Imanufacturers, and _shed light on the methods ' pursued _in bringing about the results desired. The introduction of these offictal docu- ments arose from the examination of John W. Scully, secretary of the Fin- ishers' union “of -Norwalk, who had been on the stand all day. He at- tended the 1903 convention and was { asked about Mr. Moffat's address. The speech which was read by At- torney Davenport contained the fol- lowing reference to the fight against Mr. Loewe, the plaintiff in the pres- ent suit; “The only other strike of Umportance since the last convention | has ‘been the Wme waged against the | non-union firm of D. E. Loewe & Co of Danbury. The fight was inaugur- | ated soon after Roelof’s for reasons | almost _identical. Loewe refused to treat with organizations—to even con- fer with ‘the officers—and has been quoted as asserting that he would die before he would make terms with the union. It is unnecessary to say more about this fight at present than it is progressing satisfactorily and there is | every ‘prospect of its being concluded as successfully as has been the other fights of like nature we have prosecut- ed iIn recent years.” DEPOSITOR ATTACKED BY BANK PRESIDENT.

LAKE MOHONK CONFERENCE TAKES A HOPEFUL VIEW. Albert K, Smiley Calls Attention to Changed Attitude Toward Indians. Mohonk Lake, N. Y., Oct. 20.—Albert K, Smiley opened the twenty-seventh anfiual meeting of the Lake Mohonk conference of Friends of the Indian and Other Dependent Peoples today with reference to the changed attitude of the American people towards the Indians during the last thirty years, since he became an Indian commis- sioner. He said that he -had always loved the Indians, not the Indians seen at the rallway stations as one travels across the contiment, but _the real American Indians. who' are a religious people and many of whom are educat~ ed, not by colleges, but after & manner of their own. Carl Schurz told him | once that the ablest man whom he ever met in any land was an Ameri- can Indlan whom the speaker knew well.. The Indian problem, Dr. Smiley said. Is nearing a sqlution, and he hoped to live long enough to see it emtirely removed from discussion, the Indians having in truih become a part and parcel of the body politic, the Indians being treated as men and not as wards of the nation. Vice President Sherman was named as chairman of the business committee of the conference. Eimer Eilsworth Brown, commissioner of education for the United States, was chosem presi- Dr. Charles F.

S 3 MURDERED GIRL WAS RESIDENT OF GERMANY, That Government Asked to Help Solve Long Island Mystery. ew York, Oct. 20—The German government was asked today to take a hand in solving thé mystery which has occupied the attention of the Islip, L. 1. authorities since the discovery of the skeleton of a young woman killed by a revolver builet and surrounded Dby remnants of clothing and tarnished ! jewelry in a lonely patch of woodland there on Monday. - A detailed report of the case was presented to the German consul gen- eral with evidence to show that 2 victim was a resident of Gerraany who came from Lelpsic or some city in the Rhenish _provinces some time about last February. The skeleton, with the exception of the skull, which has been preserved to show the bullet hole which caused death, was buried today. Three scraps of paper bearing writing in Germau and a billhead sent out by the Weck Refrigerator company of Lelpsic were found in a pocket of the woman- jacket. The billhead had been used by a firm in the Rhenish town of Krefelt on Feb, 24, 1908, in giving a receipt for household articles and kitchen utengils. On the strength of this evidence "the German consul will cable the police of those cities to clear up any continental end of the case if possible. Several atfempts were made by per- sons_with women friends or relatives missing to identify the clothing and jewelry today, but the fact that the woman Was killed a year ago, possibl longer, and that no one has been m! ing for at least two years in the neigh- borhood, are taken as evidences that she lived elsesyher; AMERICAN WOMAN IN PARIS AFRAID TO COME HOME.

White, it is alleged, went into the trance Saturday night while in_the room of Alexander Borgeson of Litch- fleld, a tellow. student, who was prac- ticing hypnotism. White's trance be- came very deep and Dr. Higgins was summoned, but it not until four- teen hours later that he was able to restore White 'to his right mind.

Injured in Football Game Between Navy Team and Villa Nova. Annapolis, 3¥d.. Oct. 20.—Hope of the recovery of Midshipman Earl D. Wil- son, quarterback of the navy football team, who was injured in the game with Villa Naya last Saturday, was practically abanfoned today when the following statement was issued to the Associated Press correspondent from the naval hospital here: “At a consultation this afternoon, at which were present Dr. Harvey Cush- ing of Johns Hopkins university and Surgeons Frank Anderson, L. €, Stpkes, A. T McCormick, J. Iden, E. L. Woods and G. T. Cottle, all of the navy, it was decided. that the benefits of an operation were so improbable and the chances of death so great that an op- eration is not considered justifiable, Midshipman Wilson's condition is very serious, and there is little hope of re- covery in any case.” Dr. Iden, who has had charge of the case since Wilson was admitted to the hospital, & few minutes after his in- jury, said after giving the’bulletin out that the examination of the patient by Wilson was injured in_ stopping a long run by an opposing halfback af- ter a score had been made and another way threatened. By a flyibg tackle between two interfering men who were helping the runner Wilson stopped the play within a few yards of navy's goal. When the mass of players was untan— gled he was found at the bottom of the pile unconscious. Paralysis developed almost at once and since Saturday Wilson has been unable to move any part of his body. A second X-ray ex- amination deveioped that the fifth ver- tabrae was fractured. ST. PETERSBURG SOCIETY FILLED WITH DISMAY As Result of the Threatening Situation in Finland. SW Petershurg, Oct. 20.—The threat- ening situation in Finland has spread dismay. in St. Petersburg society, ow- ing to the prospect of officers of the crack regiments of the guard benig called upon to pass the winter in_the bleak barracks of the cantonments of Finland, instead of participating in the gaieties attending the return of the court {o this city. No orders have been jssued for the despatch of troops to Finland beyond those already on the way to the grand duchy, accord- ing to an officer of the staff. but word has been passed to the officers of seven elite regiments to hold themselves in readiness for a winter campaign. 1t is rumored that some of the reg- iments may leave bere next week and will be distributed by detachments in the varfous towns, A prominent Fin- nish official said. today that open re- sistance to Russia’s demand for an annugl military- contribution by Fin- land was entirely out of the question. He believed there would -simply be a passive refusal to appropriate money for the: national defense and that lit- tle headway would be made in the collection of the amount until that work was placed in the hands of Rus- sians. The official considered the an- nexation of the eastern portion of Vi- borg provinee settled and he expressed the opinion -that this would lead to the general emigratoin of Finnish res- idents to the new frontier.

Jacobs of the United States revenuc cutter service, commanding the Hering sea fleet at Unalaska, Alaska, and was in response-to instructions from Wash- ington to investigate and photograph Bogoslof Tsland, whose frequent changes in configuration have formed the basis of other official reports. Captain Jacobs invedtigated the sit- vation on Sept. 20 and his _repor: reached Captain Commandant Ross of the service today. Captain Jacobs says that on account of the surf he was unable to land when he first reached the island. He steamed all around it, a distance of one-half a mile, and took soundings all the way, without, how- ever, reaching bottom. except in one place, where forty-five fathoms were recorded, one and a half miles west of the lake. This shows a marked change from Jast year, when soundings were obtained at many places around the island.

Last night death appeared -imminent, but with the nourishment he took to- day came renewed strength to battle against the weakness that followed the operation for appendicitis a week ago today. Dr. Peter Hughes, the family physi- cian, said tonight: “Senutor McCarren|is much better, although very weak. FHis condition -is normal. He is.much inclined to rest and taken all in all conditions are very favorable. His nourishment to- day consisted of deef broth, which is a tissue builder. and which his heart needs very much. He also had milk and peptonoids.” Mayor McClellan was among the visitors at the hospital today. He arrived late in the afternoon, but Sen- ator McCarren was sleeping at the time and the mayor was not permitted to go to his room. | M'CARREN TO BE DEPOSED | FROM DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP| Of Borough of Brooklyn—General Ru- mor in Political Circles.
