Destrn vYi Much Property MANY ARE RflUGLY HANDLED Twenty-one Women -Arrested Near Parliament Building arge Dep utation Tries to Porce Its Way Into Parliament London, January 28. As a protest against the withdrawal- of the fran chise bill by the government, the suf l ragists resumed their militant tactics tonight. " , . While a deputation," which 'the chan cellor of exchequer, ; David Lloyd Gtcrge had refused to see until to morrow morning, was trying to.force its way into parliament against : an overwhelming force of police and wo men were being arrested for resisting the officers, the other bands of women w . nt through Whitehall . breaking win dows of the government offices and through Cooper - street:.,- where the great plate-glass windows in the estab lishments of the shipping companies were ruthlessly smashed. Other women: visited Oxford, Re sent and other streets in the shopping district, where -similar-damage was done. Later, mail hoses-were attack ed, quantities of liquid being poured into them. In the outlying suburbs, too, the suffragettes damaged property. Twenty -one -women .were arrested in iho vicinity of the : parliament build :ng. but were allowed out on bail after the house rose. Most of the police stations had one or more prisoners charged with destroying property- The demonstration in Whitehall was not as large as somepf those previous ly held, the force, of -police and... a drenching rain militating, against' any great turnout. - The-; wildest excitement prevailed, however, - and : besides -' pro tecting property and arresting women engaged in window-smashing, ! or ; who refused iXp(tn:xye&&;h police had the greatest difficulty" in protecting the women, from an unruly crowd of youths, who gathered around and jostled every. woman wearing suf fragette colors, v' . X : In several cases the women were roughly handled. An attempt to duck fcur of them in the fountain in Trafal gar Square was frustrated by. a police wsse which had to; ride through.. the crowd. ' " The entire deputation of 21 women, who attempted to make their, way into the House of Commons to 1 interview Chancellor Lloyd -George, was arrested: The prisoners included Mrs. Drum mond and Sylvania Pankhurst, who marched in front. Before starting on their mission, the delegates listened to addresses by Mrs.' Emmeline Panki hurst and other leaders. ; k -Mrs. Pankhurst said thewithdrawal of the franchise bill, including the spea .-er's ruling, wasa plot decided on long ago and Premier Asquith was aware of it. . ' The answer to this treachery," she said, "is militancy." Sylvania Pankhurst declared their intention was to hold the speaker in the chair and leave Mr. Asquith on the bench and with ; this the deputa tion started. . , The police gave them safe escort as far as the entrance of parliament, where an inspector informed them that the chancellor of the exchequer would he unable to see them until morning. Mrs. Drummond retorted, "This is Tom-fcolery. -If you do not let us in there there will be trouble." At that the members of the deputa tion threw themselves at the police who stood six-deep -,. across the en trance, and hT the scramble Mrs; Dru mmond and . another , woman; were either thrown or fell to the ground. The police gave the- women; several ( hances to withdraw" quietly, but -as 'hey refused, all were arrested. The f-rowd showed little sympathy for the women, whom they tried to jostle as they were being led ' to the station. The authorities contemplate arresting the leaders for inciting their. followers to break the laws. " ' hri stobal Pankhurst, who is ref er rf d to as the., brains, of the organiza tion, is believed to be in London, di recting the demonstration- She is known to have left Paris, where ; she had been living since a warrant for hur arrest was issued at. the time her mother, Mrs . Emmeline Pankhurst, and Mr. and -Mrs. Pethlck Lawrence were convicted, and ail trace of her is lost. i -- 7' - r.'&.--- The damage to oroberty tonight would have been much, greater had not the shopkeepers taken-precaution to board up their windows- .

New i Y.ork Jan. 28. ;TheTconf essionj of James Thorpe, "the world's greatest athlete", that he played baseball as a professional during the Summers of 1909 and 1910, will result in a sweep ing investigation of the standing of the. several other "college men from the North," who Thorpe says played in the same league: James E: Sullivan, secretary of the Amateur Athletic Union, so announced today. ;Mr. Sullivan said' he had writ ten Thorpe asking him' to 'name the men thus referred to in his-confession. "As soon as we receive Thorpe's re port," Mr. Sullivan said, "we will begin an inquiry into the records of the oth er men. If any of them are holders of Amateur Athletic Union records, or prizes, we would have no choice but to declare the records off and order the prizes returned. We would, of course, send them to the men who were sec ond in the respective events. . "I have written also to the proper authorities at the Carlisle Indian school asking them to return to me by express the trophies which Thorpe brought back from the Olympic games. I also sent a cablegram tnis morning to Christian Helstrom, the Olympic commissioner at Stockholm, apprising him-of Thorpe's confession and notir fying him that the trophies would be returned." - The tokens of Thorpe's glory on the Olympic field which are thus stripped from him and will be returned to awe den, are a bronze bust of the King of Sweden, which Thorpe , won with the penthalon and decathlon cup, a mag nificent model of an ancient Viking ship : ... . J - "Thome's case is at once one of the ereatest tragedies and marvels of amateur, athletics," Mr.- Sullivan said.

SENA IN E GH WEDNESDAY MOKNISTG, CONSIDER MISSION IS ENDED - .... --. i Peace Envoys Will Leave London After Presenta tion of Note DIPLOMATS STILL HAVE HOPE Allies Review the Situation and De bate Resumption of. Var and Pol icy of Delay May Present the Note Today. London, JanI . 23. With the presenta tation of their note to-the. Turkish del egation, the date for hinch,' however, has not yet been fixed, some of the Balkan delegates consider." that their mission in London Is ended. The Greek Premier, EI Eutherios - Venze los, announced tonight that he would leave before the end of the week, and the others within the next few days. Financial advisers and military officers attached to the Bulgarian -delegation will start for home tomorrow. Despite this, the diplomats have not given up hope, and- niany still think the Balkan note is another attempt to exercise pressure on Turkey and that the allies really intend to await : the answer of the new. Turkish cabinet to the joint note of Europe, a course i which the powers have advised. "Another day lost," exclaimed those who b elie ve ' that the only .solution is to be found in the resumption of hostil ities, when the meeting of the dele gates of the four allied nations ad-jouj-ned this afternoon. "Another day gained," retorted, those who believe that peace is to be reached by, the postponement of extreme meas ures. . - Today's meeting of the allies lasted five hours and the discussion was ani mated. The delegates reviewed the whole situation and debated both, the resmjUon, ofih.wA54nd , the policy of delay, trusting to time to solve the difficulties. ( The head of each delega tion reported the -conversation which he had with Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, and refer ence was made against the advice of the ambassadors, but to observe pru dence and. moderation. This greatly strengthened the argument of that sec tion, favoring procrastiination, ? their view being that after the powers' note to Turkey, which was ip favor of the terms of the allies,if the latter contin uedito follow their advice they would continue to give their support. The note was left with Stojan Nova kovitch, head of the Servian delega tion, the delegates "entrusting him to choose an opportune moment for its presentation." Some believe he will present it tomorrow. Others are of the opinion that this particular form was adopted with the object of avoiding an immediate rupture and giving Turkey time to reply to the powers New York, Jan. 28.

Representa- tive Hull, of Tennessee, a Democratic member of the Committee on Ways and Means, who has been active in in come tax problems, plans to introduce a bill which would provide such a source of revenue. - v This would be considered by the committee in" connection with Contem plated early ratification of the consti tutional amendment to sanction in come tax legislation. Of the necessary number of States required for ratifi cation only two are lacking.

State and municipal bonds, "and backed by a gold reserve of at least 20 per cent., was recommended as a solution of the currency problem by W. H. Berry, f ormer State Treasurer of Pennsylvania, on the stand today before the Currency Committee of the House. ; Mr. Berry told the committee that the evil, of the present system was an insufficient supply of legal tender re serve to support the extended credit demanded by business interests of the country. - . ' -: "The banking laws are responsible 1 for the accumulation ot money in tne reserve cities," he said. ' "The law al lowing ' the accumulation of millions of money in these reserve cities is res ponsible. A lack of cash in reserve re stricts the banks in. the credit they can allow and this inevitably results in a. discrimination as to borrowers. So long as this situation obtains there" will be a money trust." '. A chart produced-by Mr. Berry pur ported to show that panics followed an expansion of credit to a point where it was beyond the support of the avail able cash reserves. "That is the,, situation now," he con tinued. "The credits granted have been extended to a point where the re serves are but 8.2 per cent, of the out standing obligations or the banks, Un less these reserves are extended in some way a panic inevitably will fol low. That 8.2 per cent, was about the breaking point of 1907, and a panic is now threatened. . We -have too much credit -for the cash in hand and too little credit for the needs of the coun try.'! ; '.
