(By Ht" Associated Press.)
London, Oct, 23. Unusual excite
ment in connection with the reopen-1
in;,' of parliament today was caused
by i In' presence of about one hundred
woman suffragist.;, many of whoill,
derpite the protests of the police,
managed to find their way into the
outer lobby of the house of com
mons wiili the intention of button
holing the members in support of
their movement. A number oCli'e
suffragists mounted vacant chairs in
the lobby and began lo harangue the
few members of parliament present,
in that part, of the house.
Tlio police, after being reinforced,
made a strategic advance against the
invaders, taking the women singly,
find gradually ejected them, one by
one, from the house. The most mili
tant of the women Struggled so des
perately that two officers were re
quired to remove them. Their hys
terical shouting nnd screaming
hrottgljt crowds of members from the
house and the unwonted scene cre
ated temporary excitement, such as
Has seldom been witnessed in or
about the house.
During the height of the tumult a
small band of the staunchest suf
fragists determined to attempt to
break into the house itself, and as
though by concerted action, this band
suddenly charged towards the en
trance of the inner lobby. Some of
the women tried to climb over the
barrier, and others attempted to
crawl under it. For several minutes
the utmost disorder prevailed and
the police had all they could do to
eject the stern, determined women
without utilizing the more vigorous
means which would have been em
ployed in the case of men. The
women resolutely refused to leave the
bouse without being ejected by force,
clung tenaciously to the stalwart po
licemen, the railings or other means
of support, nnd offered strenuous re
sistance to expulsion, while shouts of
"We will have votes!" and "You
cowardly men dare not give us jus
tice!" resounded through the halls.
Finally the police were forced to
carry out several of the women bod
ily, and the struggling and shouting
suffragists were all ultimately de
posited in the palace yard, where for
some time they continued their vehe
ment protests. A procession of house
of commons attendants followed the
women, bearing hats, cloaks and frag
ments of millinery and finery drop
ped in the scuffle. So noisily demon
strative were some of the leading suf
fragists that after they had been
expelled from the house the police
arrested several of them and marched
them off to the nearest police station.
Altogether eight suffragists were
arrested, Including the well-known
leaders of the movement. Miss Ken
noy and Miss Billington, who will
appear in court tomorrow, charged
with "riotous conduct."

turn men went to thy works. The
police found the plants picketed, but
the groups of strikers wore easily dis
persed, and there was no outbreak.
Tho steel plant and two furnaces
yet operating are running under re
duced forces, many of tho enfployos
not having been able to enter the
works last night. A report last, night,
that one of tho three strikers shot
yesterday had died caused much ex
citement among the strikers, and a
mob of fully 400 gathered on Knney
street at the approach to the steel
plant nnd became very threatening.
The city police were again called,
and additional Carnegie police were
brought here in the night from
Youngstown and Sharon.
The strikers now demand a wage
increase of 15 cents daily. The three
wounded strikers are doing well to
day and all now have a chance for
recovery. General Superintendent.
John Ourslor today said there is no
possibility of the strikers' demand
being granted while the trouble is on.

CHARGES BY MURPHY
Investigation By Grand Jury in New
York Shows That Could,-,) Agreed
to Pay 1 ode pen donee League For
Its Support Said Offer Was to
Cover Legitimate Expenses.
(By the Associated Press.)
New York, Oct. 23. The grand
jury today continued its investiga
tion into the sensational charges
made last week by Charles F. Mur
phy, leader of Tammany Hall, to the
effect that independence league can
didates were demanding money from
Tammany candidates to withdraw
l torn the field and that money had
been demanded of democratic can
didates for independence league
nominations. The witnesses who
i had been summoned for this day's
inquiry included -Charles V. Fornes,
formerly president of the board of
aldermen and candidate for con
gress; Joseph A. Goulden, Joseph
Prendergast, clerk of the water
board; Alderman Reginald Doull
and John A. Allen, independence
league candidate for congress against
Mr. Fornes.
Congressman Goulden was the first
witness to be called into the grand
jury room. He was with the in
quisitors about fifteen minutes.
After Mr. Goulden left the grand
jury room he said he had been shown
a letter which he admitted he had
written to Frances E. Shober, also
a candidate for congress, agreeing
to pay $500 for the expenses of gath
ering indorsements of his name to
a petition to be presented in the
name of the league.
Mr. Goulden said he considered it
no more than right and proper that
he should make such an offer to
cover what he deemed legitimate, ex
penses. Charges Fall Through.
At the conclusion of an investiga
tion by the grand jury of charges
made by Charles F. Murphy, the
Tammany, leader, that Tammany
Hall candidates had been held up
for "cash considerations" by the
managers of the independence
league, it was anounced late today
that the charges had fallen through
completely. The official announce
ment to this effect declared that the
charges were "merely campaign gos
sip and the grand jury duty will not
dignify the proceedings by making
a presentment as a result of its in
quiry," the grand jury announced
that in its opinion there was noth
ing wrong in an offer made by Con
gressman Goulden to pay the expen
ses incurred in getting signatures to
the independence league petition in
his behalf. William Astor Chanler
who had been subpoenaed to appear
before the grand jury, was not call
ed upon today.
