A gentleman friend was escorting her. She was murmuring her regret that it was too late to ask him to come in. From the back of the apartments fone a« terrific shout. It seemed to come from the window under her own kitchen window on the fourth floor, which overlooks Broadway. A moment later there was a frightful Screech, and outlined against the @treet lights she saw the form of her own precious Angora, Prince Jan, buriing through the night with tall extended and clawing the air. The cat disappeared into the rear area- way. This was Monday morning. From then until now there has been war in Abe Washington Heights apartments. It ie not a war which can be medi- ‘@ted.

My knowledge of the matter is simply this: “Early Monday morning, at about 1 o'clock, I think, I was waked by a etrange noise at the kitchen window. I slipped out of bed. I was sure it was a burglar.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the most brain-enthralling detec: tive stories ever penned (no, I don’t except Poe!), literary godfather of that “very perfect gentle knight” Sir Nigel, statesman, soldier, surgeon, sportsman and looking a full half decade younger than his fifty-five crowded years, has just arrived in New York. With him is Lady Doyle, slender, pink-cheeked and vivacious, who has left behind her three small Doyles to be her husband's companion on a Canadian camping trip. Sir Arthur is J middle life; that MeamMranswlt exercise, age of forty-two. “The Militants by Their Activities Have Annihilated Every Possi- Women for at Least a Gener- ation.” “Militant Women Have Spread a Reign of Fear Over the English People, and After Fear Comes Cruelty.” “No Man Can Tell What a Mob Will Do—Neither We English Nor Any Other Men Will Stand Be- ing Bullied.”’ Mshman we have seen in many a long day. that physical fitness kept by so few Americans in .ate of Suffrage for English the biggest, blondest, breeziest Eng- He has erectness and absence of superfluous “He tissue which mean just one thing—regular outdoor He played in a hard game of football at the His eyes are blue and bright, with the fine network at the corners which is wrought by a broad and frequent smile. A heavy yel- low mustache cannot hide this smile, and it beamed yesterday on all things American. It disappeared only when I asked him about the “wild women” of Eng- Jand during our talk at the Plaza. Sir Arthur is a man’s man in every inch of the six feet and more of him, just as his sword-and-spur fiction is man’s work. He epitomizes all his sex’s distaste for being bullied and for being made a laughing-stock. MILITANTS SHOULD HEAR HIS VIEWS. May he not be taken as a fair rep- resentative of masculine opinion toward the present stage of the woman movement in England? If a0, then suffragists on both sides of the water should be interested in his point of view, “If | were an anti-suffrage millionaire,” he told me, gravely, “and desired to do everything in my power to destroy the votes for women movement, | should con- duct precisely the campaign car- ried on by Mrs. Pankhurst and her followers, | should epend every cent of my money burning, ravaging and destroying. Then | should rest content with the con- viction that | had devoted my all to tl anti-suffrage cause. The militants by their actions have annihilated every possibil- Ity of suffrage for English women for at least a generation.” “But 1s lynching the remedy you recommend?” I asked, quoting from an afternoon paper, “I never said such a thing!” Sir | Arthur exploded, “I wish you would contradict it with all the emphasis possible, The fool of a man who put that in his paper attributed to me a feeling which most decidedly is not mine, although I am antt-militant and, on the whole, opposed to woman e, What I said when I landed wi mply that I should not be sur- prised to hear of a lynching of one or more militant disturbers.” Just then Lady Doyle began to help out the interview. Apparently she and her husband have discussed the subject before and reached pretty much the same conclusion, “Please,” she besought me, with a confidential nod in Sle Arthur's di- rection, “please don't say he thinks it would be a good plan to lynch those women, But you have no idea how the people of England are wrought up against them. The destruction of the mails and other outrages have harmed so many persons in no way concerned in the struggle.” “Exactly,” Sir Arthur again took the reins of conversation. “The militant women have spread a reign of fear over the English people. And after fear eomes cruelty. No man can tell what a mob will do.” “But surely militancy is only & more violent manifestation of wide- spread feminine restlessness and re- volt,” I sald. “You are not an op- said Sir Arthur. “I would have women enjoy the best educational opportunitie: I would hay them enter the 3 and the professions if they choose. I'm not sure but that I belleve women own- ing property ought to be allowed to vote, at least on questions affecting their property. But I belleve tha full political enfranchisement should come to thom gradually, as they show themselves fitted to make use of it.” WOMEN WILL NOT VOTE WHEN THEY CAN, “They could vote so much more now than they do,” pretty Lady Doyle volunteered, “They have municipal suffrage, you know. In all the towns they could accomplish so much In the way of reform and bet- terment, But they just won't vote when they can! And these militant women have made us the laughing | stock of Europe!" 4 “But why do you let them?’ 1 asked, and Sir Arthur answered me! in perfect simplicity and sincerity, “An Englishman doesn't want to hurt @ woman,” he said. “That's the real reason for the forcible feeding of which there's been 20 much complaint.

And so many of our English suffragiste have wet their dignity, and when a woman loses THAT”—— An expressive pause completed the sentence, Then Sir Arthur made what seems to me a very wise remark. “A woman can never get any- thing out of a man if shi 8 to bully him. Neither we English nor any other men will etand being bullied. “I am not opponed to woman's de- velopment. I like to see @ woman with brains who uses them.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle vistted the Tombs this afternoon. Although he has written volumes of stories deal- ing with crime he admitted that he had been in only one other prison, an English institution, Sir Arthur began at the bottom of the Tombs in the engine room and made bis way in the care of Warden Hanley and the Rev, George San- derson, Episcopal chaplain of the prison, to the topmost tier of in- mates, "I have read about the Becker case,” said Sir Arthur, “and I would very much like to see Becker and talk with him.” “It's against the rules,” sald the Warden, much to Sir Arthur's dis- appointment. The party visited every corner of the building. They sought out the kitchen, (he coal bins, the closets, the cramped yard where good prisoners get a breath of air once in a long while, and they tramped through every corridor and peeked into every grated door of every cell, just as if they were looking for @ clue to some enthralling mystery, “The discipline seems very fine in THURSDAY, MAY "ANT? aRgunenT this prison,” said the author. “I think {t 1s & most superior prison.” “Do you think it would do for the {poarceration of suffragettes?" he was re “It would make an excellent place for that,” he replied, “'f you could only keep them long enough.
