Women In Court Room Go Wild and Defy Police. London, April . 3. Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the Reader of the militaht suffragettes, was today found guilty and sentenced to I three-years penal servitude at. the Old 'Bailey sessions on the charge, of inciting persons to commit damage. The trial required two days. ' , ' -' The jury added toits verdict of guil ty a strong recommendation for mercy and when ' the judge pronounced the heavy sentence of three . years, the crowd of women- in the court room rose in angry protest ' y t . ' As Mrs. Pankhurst stood up in .the prisoner's enclosure her. sympathizers cheered wildly and then . filed out of court singing, "March On! March On!" to the tune of the "Marseillaise." . Mrs'. Pankhurst's closing address to the jury lasted 50 minutes. She in formed the court that she did not wish to calf any witnesses. In her address she frequently wandered so far from the matter before the' court that the judge censured her. v ; . Mrs. Pankhuf st 'denied .any mali cious incitement. - "Neither T nor the other militant suffragettes are wicked or malicious," she said : "Women are not ' tried by - their peers, and these trials are an example of what women are. suffering in.. order to obtain their rights; v Personally, I have had to surrender a large part of my income -teorder: to. be free to par ticipate in the suffrage movement." ' Speaking with much Tfeeling; Mrs. Pankhurst. fiercely criticised man-made laws, and said that -the divorce .law 4 aione. -was- .uracaet- Gktustiryac:' revo lution' byferw.oTBBTfT" - In impassioned tones she de"clared:; "Whatever .may be ?toy sentence, I will not osubmit . From the very mo ment I leave the court I will refuse to eat I will come out of prison dead or alive at ;the- earliest possible moment."- 'r . N-- .r-; r- Justice Lush;, in summing; up, told the jury that 'Mrs. Pankhurst's speech es were an admission that she had in cited to the r perpetration of illegal acts. , . , k- Mrs. Pankhurst "almost broke down when the jury pronounced its verdict. Leaning over thefront of the prison er's enclosure,: she? said: "If it is im possible to find a. different verdict, I want to say to you and to the jury that it is your duty as. private citizens to do what you can to put an end to this state of affairs." - , . She thehlrepeated her determination to end her sentence as soon as possi ble, saying: , - "I don't want, to commit , suicide. Life is .very dear to all of us. But I want to see the women of this country enfranchised J want to live until that has been. done. I will take the despe rate remedy other women have taken and I will keep it up as long as I have, an ounce of strength. , "I deliberately broke' the law, not hysterically and not emotionally, but for a set and serious purpose. I hon estly believe this is the orily way. "This movement will go on whether I live or die. ; These women will go on until women have obtained the com mon rights of citizenship throughout the civilized world." . Justice Lush said: ' v "I must pass a severe sentence on you. If you .would only realize the wrong you are doing and use your in fluence in the right direction, I would be the first to use my best, endeavors to secure a mitigation of your sen tence. I cannot and I Will not regard your crime as trivial.' It is a most ser ious one." .-. Immediately the sentence of three years fell from the judge's lips, the women in the court room broke out in a chorus of "Shame!" and "Outrage!" With Mrs. Pankhurst's defiance to S6!,??.?8!!,,"1!11 fight! -Fight! Fight, Fight!" still ringing in their ears, the suffragettes went wild. Standing on their seats they shrieked and shouted anathemas at the court. For three . minutes they held full sway m the court room. The nnlip.e were powerless.

DEMOCRATS ARE STIRRED UP Several Senators May Not Stand for : Free Wool and Sugar, and Will Require Changes in Present Draft of the Bill. Washington, April 3. Completion of the new tariff revision bill, the character of the duty to be levied up on sugar, and the extent to which" President Wilson will give the support of the administration to the - complet ed measure, depended tonight" upoa the success that might attend confer ences of i the President to reach an agreement witlr Senate ; tariff leaders. The tariff situation shifted to the Senate today, with the "prospect fit' much work ahead of the chief execu tive " to smooth . over disputed points, and. to, bring - the Senate, the House and his own wishes into harmony be fore "the new bill is brought out to the gaze of the public? Senators Simmons; Stone and Hoke Smith, all members of the. Finance Committee, had a long conference with President Wilson this evening. At its conclusion, Senator Simmons, chairman of the committee, said the conference had been in every way satisfactory to the Senate : mem bers. A: sweeping canvass of the Senate has .been . undertaken to determine just, how far Democratic members of that body will go in-support -of the policies laid: down by the. President. The decision to put raw wool on the free list, and the threat of free sugar have stirred up the Democratic forces of the Senate to such an extent that members of the Finance Committee told the President tonight some impor tant changes would have to be made in the present draft of the. bill, if it is to meet ; with a . cordial reception when it reaches the Senate. ' , . Hughe's,- of New"Jersrey. mel9beT"rf the finance committee ana a radical re visionist, -and Senator John W. Kern, the Democratic leader of the Senate. His v conference with Senator Kern, which followed 'that with members of the Finance Committee, is "understood o have given the President a tairly accurate idea of the sentiment prevail ing in the Senate over the proposed free wool, and reduced sugar duties; and over the sweeping reductions ' in other rates that have been determined upon-by the House - Committee on Ways and Means. . , Todaty s developments included the practical completion of the bill by the House Ways and Means Committee, along the lines agreed to with the President." It. appeared fairly certain tonight that either sugar duty would be compromised at 1 cent per pound, possibly with a provision that it should be; entirely abolished in three years; or that there should be a gradu al'' reduction of 25 per cent, per year from the existing duty until it had dis appeared. The Senate leaders have made it clear that it would be impossible to pass-a bill carrying bothfree wool and free sugar. : . The Senate leaders did not reach any general agreement with the, Presi dent. Tne results or their conferences will be laid before the full Democratic membership of the Finance Commit tee at a meeting called for 10:30 o' clock tomorrow morning. The determination of the committee then, as to disputed questions will guide Senator Simmons in future con ferences with the President and with Chairman Underwood, of the Ways. and Means Committee. "We .went over all the debated points :in the bill with the President tonight," said Senator Simmons, "and the interview was very satisfactory to the Senators.' It was agreed that the 4- Democratic -members of the Finance Committee should meet tomorrow and go over the ground, preliminary to fur ther conferences with, 6ther members of the Senate,- and the President and members of the ' House Ways and Means Committee." No other statement was made by Senator Simmons or by the other par ties to the conference. An intimation which has been under way for some time has brought out strong opposition to the reductions proposed by the House and sanctioned by the President in many important schedules. It is, understood that Senate leaders insist many of those be changed if the new hill is to have their support from the outset." - President Wilson made it known today-to visitors that he had not settled in his own mind1 whether there should be one general ' bill or a .series of schedule ,bills. t; This feature is consid ered of high importance both by the President and prominent Democrats in the Senate: " House leaders are prepared to en act the entire tariff revision with a single bill, but the attitude of the President will depend upon the rates that are finally agreed to upon sugar and upon certain food products, still open to debate. , . c . .

The ac tion of the State Senate and House today in passing the quorum-breaking bill and the electfon bill over the Gov ernor's veto will transfer the 'fight which has resulted in the absence of 34 members of the Legislature from the State, from the Legislature to the courts. In passing the two bills over the Governor's veto the House refused to note the absence of enough mem bers to break a quorum and they were counted as "present, but not voting". This established a precedent in this State. In the Senate a parliamentary inquiry to ascertain if a quorum was present in the House was- voted down by a strict party vote after the speak ed had - allowed a motion to appeal from the decision of the chair. In the House the "law enforcement" bills, in tended to give the. Governor greater power in the enforcement of the pro hibition laws, were called up and de feated. ' The determination of Govern or Hooper to push these bills resulted in the new legislative alignment with Shelby county voting with regular Democrats. . Prior to the recess the Shelby delegation voted with the fu sionists.

The German military dirigible airship Zep pelin IV landed in the military parade grounds here today and was seized by the French authorities. The incident has caused tremendous . -excitement, notwithstanding that the German officers aboard the airship ex plained that they had been lost , in the clouds and . did not know they had, crossed the French frontier. Inhabitants of the Eastern frontier regions of France have been much agi- tated the last, few weeks over reports that German dirigibles had been ob served or heard nightly hovering over the forts. But the stories, like those of the phantom airship of England, never were properly substantiated. The people1 of Luneville were con-, siderably startled shortly before noon today when a brownish yellow airship ; appeared at a great , height in tho . clouds, coming from the direction of v Nancy. The airship was lost to view. but re-appeared an hour later. It was apparent that the pilot-was having a battle with the wind and that he was making an effort to reach the earth. ; Finally a safe : landing was v made in the parade , grounds, where two squad rons of cavalry were drilling. The cavalrymen rode up and formed a cor don. They caught, the ropes thrown from the dirigible and securely moored it. - The local authorities and -.Brigadier : General Antide Leon Lescot immedi ately were summoned and were closely " followed' by a huge- crowd of . excited people. It required the efforts- of two ? torapanies of infantry' to keep the. in-'' ignant populace at a' sale' distance. : L Zeppelin - IV.

They left Friederischaf en early in the morning; bound for the Grand Duchy of. Baden. With the intention of making an as cension trial they , had mounted to a height of 3,000 metre (about 9,750 feet) and had lost, their course in the clouds. They were carried along by a strong east wind, and observing the cavalry thought they had reached Saar-Brucken. As they ..were short of gasoline they decided to land.- They ' did not know ' they had crossed the, French frontier. . .; The chief officer, of the engineer corps at Luneville removed the mag netos from the engines so that the airship could not get4 under way and the cabin 'was searched for photo graphic apparatus, sketches, -or ' simi lar articles. Nothing of that nature, however, was found; , ' ' ' The German officers were permitted to telephone to Friedrichshafen for " a supply of hydrogen and for mechani- clans.
