Addresses of President
Washington, June 22. The police to
day began dealing with the suffrage pick
ets about the White, House with a firm
hand.
It was ordered that no banners were
to be displayed and 20 policemen were
stationed about the White House fence.
. Miss Lucy Burns, of New York, and
Miss Catherine Morey, of Boston, car
riers of a banner who refused to move
in front of the gates, were arrested and
taken to polk headquarters.
At police headquarters they were told
they had been arrested for blocking traf
fic and unlawful assembly. They were
released on their own recognizance and
no date was set for trial.
It developed that the suffragists took
their banners out again today under ad-
iee of counsel but that they had sprung
surprise, on the police. Instead of
banners bearing inscriptions characteris
ed as "treasonable" and "offensive" they
bore banners inscribed with phrases from

America to the rights of democracy.
Suffrage leaders were undecided after
the arrest of Miss Burns and Miss Morey
