London, m- 3 An attempt litant ml es to present u,\petl to K.\v!g George at Buckingham failed, but not until a battle had been fought which tnl‘ fierceness surpassed any previous mil-’ itant demonstration, The erowd of onlookers which had waited in the hot sun for two hours suffered almost as much as the fight- ers. The attack eventually came from rection of Westminster, where the suffragettes had advertised that they swould form a parade. In- stead a small body known, because of their militant record as “gun women” of the Women's Social and Political Union, burst from a private residence on Hyde Park corner :and forced their way through the archway at the top of ‘Constitution: hill before the small squad of policé on .duty there had time to collect and resist them.

The crowd 'at this point was so dense that the attempts of the poiice to clear the drive were Without suc- cess, until recourse was had to sprink- ling carts which ruined many of the fine gowns of the fashionable women spectators who had gathered to watch' the expected battle. This caused the police to lose their popularity with the crowd, w up to that moment had “them on. everal members of the house of commons among the spectators de- nounced the police for not adhering to their promise to treat the women Wwith gentleness. -The police retorted that the terrific onslaught of the militants bad left them no alternative. For two hours after the conclusion of the main battle the police were engaged in breaking up small groups of women who had spread over the surrounding _district. The casualties were not numerous, consisting of a few broken heads, but much harm was done to the uniforms of the police and to the dresses of the women, At no time were more than a couple af hundred women engaged in the bat- tle while opposed to them was a force of 1,600 police. Buckingham Palace resembled more & mobilization center than the peace- ful home ot royalty. Two ambulance corps were on the scene and both male and female nurses tound plenty to do with cases of faint- ing among the spectators, ith the exception of a few minutes when King George stood at a window watching ' the preparations to defend him from the attentions of the women the palace presented a deserted ap- pearance, A police jnspector sald that when Mrs. Pankhiirst was arrested he car- ried her inside the park gate and she shouted: “That-is right. Arrest me at -the gates oE the ‘palace. = Tell the king.” - The _tolal -arrests numbered 57, in- cluding three' men. A dozen suffre- gettes, who. were lodged in the small police” atation at Wellington Arch, smashed every window in the place and behaved so vioently that they had to” be. removed to bigger stations, where there were more police to guard them. 5 3 Mrs. Pankhurst was taken to Hol- loway jail for breaking the terms of the license under which she was last released. 3| MONTHLY MEETING OF NEW HAVEN ROAD Reports Show Payment of $45,000,000 Notes That Matured May 18.

Among the passengers were the designer of the ship, Dr. Forester; Alexander Carlisle, who designed the Titanic; Admiral Os. car Von Truppel, of the German navy; Walter Blom, one of the build- ers and directors of the Hamburg- American line. In the Vaterland's first cargo were 2,066 barrels of beer and 250 barrels of salt. When the Vaterland was headed in for her high pier more than fifty tugs had her in charge. As her bow reared the pier the strong ebb tide caught the vessel at the stern and began to swing her around, heading her straight for a wooden pier nearby. There was a shouting of orders, the big whistla on the liner boormed and the hawsers on the tugs wele let go. The vessel began to back under her own power, and was soon out in the stream again- almost directly in tha path of the Lackawana ferry boats. The tugs began to manoeuvre about her again, but the big limer slowly drifted southward. In the grip of the strong <bb tide, the big-ship was seemingly almost heipless. She was carried steadily down stream toward the Battery. The great ship was swung into her berth at .10 p. m., three and a half hours after she first came abreast of her pler.
