HOUSE OF COMMONS

Guard of Five Thousand Police

Evaded and Floor of the House Beaohed

BATTLE CRY I8 SHOUTED

Astonished Legislators Were in'

the Midst of 0hildren’s Bill Debate

LONDON, Nov. 6.-A woman suc-

cceded in passing the har of the house of commons last week.

Evadlng all the police cordolls \\'hlch`

guarded every approach, Mrs. Travers Symons broke in upon the sedate inh- ors of the legislators, enKl=\8€l3 in 8 110' llnte on the Chlldren‘s bill, shrieking. "L:-avo off discussing the children and talk about the women!" She was speedily removed and turned into the

street.

This was the only success achieved

by the militant suffraglsts. But the general aspect of Westminster palace was that of a place undergoing a siege. No fewer than 5,000 police were as- sembled in its precincts, and cordons of police barred or controlled all the approaches.

About 7 p.~m. the crowd near West-

minster palace had increased in num- ber, nnd its demeanor became unruly. Once more the police were equal to the occasion. By a succession of clcvcr movements almost without the uso of force, they broke it up and drove it in various directions.

The Scene in the House

., was just before 8 o'clock --

while 5,000 police were guardingthe house of commons from a Suffragetie n.~suuli~tllnt one of the voteless \vo- nn-u rllsllcd past all the barriers, got tlllwlllgil lthe Inbby, PRS! the Officials at the door of the chamber, rushed on to the floor o`i' the house and :lull shouted her battlecry in the iuccs of the astonished mambers.

’l‘herl- were no.t more than forty

nlcmln-rs in the house at the time ns it was dinner hour. The speaker was in tllc chair at one end of the house and the seargeant-at-arms in his sent at the other. Mr. Herbert Smnuci, under-secretary at the homo office and the attorney-general for lrellllnl were on the treasury bench. Mr. Akers-Douglas was on the front opposition bench, Mr. Watson Ruth- erforti. a Unionist member was ad- dresslllg the house on the Children's hill. 'l‘hat was the situation when the rather inl1ttentive`house received a shock which for a second pr two struck it dumb.

“ifotes for Women"

The long green benches are ranged

on either side of the floor. Entrance lo tho floor is gained -by swing doors from the inner lobby, and just inside the swing doors on the rig-ht lg the ul-at of the sergeant-at-arms. Almost level with the seat of the sergeant-ab nruls is drawn that imaginary line llvrorlg the floor which constitutes the bar of the house. _A few steps through the swing doors, therefore, brings one on to the bar and at the formal en- trance to the house. By the side of the swing doors are narrow windows from the lobby, and through these windows--or spyholel-lady visitors are permitted lo :::1;.v at the members within.

Just before eight dolce.. a lady was

src-n looking through one of these windows. Suddenly she stepped from it, rushed at tho swing doors, flung thonl open, and dashed inside. She uns a young looking lady, wearing a creunl colored coat and a mushroom hut. ller face was flushed, her arms extended. Dashing madly forward, sill- screamed as she' ran:

"l.cnve oft discussing the Children's

bill and give votes for women."

Sho had passed at her ilrstrnsh the

“il‘Scnllt-at-arnls, with ills sword at his sitio. Parslyscd with amazement, the house gazed on ther, and Mr. Wat- -son Rutherford paused witll a half-

colnpleled sentence on his lips.

'l`lll- attendant who stands behind the

S°i'l:cunt_-at-arms was the ilrst to re- mlin his presence of nlllld. He gave vt-nt to a scandnllzod “Ohi" and swt\o|wll forward on lo the lnirulll-r, \\'llo by thc time he reached her wus ilirllc _vurds up the floor in the direc-

DUKE OF DEYONSHIRE

Duonl Party's Fail into Swimming Bath-Six Hurt by

Collapse

LONDON, Nov. 6.-The Duke and

Duchess of Devonshire, Lord and Lady Kerry nnd others of the ducal party were lllvolvell ill a remarkable accl- dent at Matlock, from which those named escaped serious hurt, though six other ladies and gentlemen were injured. -

Tile duke had been presented with

an address of con-gratulatlon from the West Derbyshire Unionlsts. The party (with the exception of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland and their daugh- ters. -who left by motor car) after- wards entered the Victoria hall, Mat- lock, for tea. The swimming bath had been emptied, and on a temporary floorlng of planks laid across it on trestles the tea 'tables were set. The Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, Mr. Henry Cavendish, Lord and Lady Kerry, and other guests took their SGMS. others crowded into the room, and all the tables were occupied, while many spectators looked down from the balcony above.

Suddenly the flooring near the ducal

party collapsed, and fifty people 'were thrown into the empty bath -below amid a mass of planking, broken crockery and streams of boiling tea from the upset urns. Confusion reigned for a minute, but the duke and Lord Kerry showed great resource and reassured the people. Ladders were got, and soon all were rescued. As stated, only six persons were offi- cially notified as injured. though others suffered shock:

Colonel Brooke-Taylor, badly scam-

adage the shoulder and cut about th,

wounded under the ear. ~ ,

Mr. Dale, crushed.

Miss Williams, wounded on the

wrist. it

Mrs. Tom Barlow, badly hurt about

the neck and face. .

Miss Else, contused wounds. ` Councillor Robert Hall, an eye~wlt- ness of the accident, says: "l sudden-, ly srllv the floor collapse where the duke-'s party was seated. There was great consternation, and in the mass of humanity, fifty ladies and- gentle- men. I saw scrambling to KITS ‘feet tho Duke of Devonshire, who in an instant grasped the situation, and doubtless saved any panic by raising. one arm and calling out, ‘Be quiet! The cry was echoed by the police, ahd several of the imprisoned-party also behaved with great courage, principally Lord: Kerry, who tried to reassure the ladies nl-ar him."

Other eye-witnesses state that Lady

Kerry narrowly escaped being crushed by the falling woodwork.

'l`he duke was helped out by s, lad-

der. Though in reply to inquiry he said that he felt all right and unin- jured. he appeared to have been badly shaken by the fall, which was from six to eight feet. Lord Kerry also said that _he felt all rlglht. Mr. Henry Cavendish confirmed that the'duke and duchesil and Lord and Lady Kerry' were uninjureli.

LONDON, Nov. 6.-Mme. Ciara Butt

and her husband, Mr. Konnsrley Rum- ford, fulfilled a long-standing prom- ise on Sunday .in singing solos and A duet at the afternoon service in tho

chapel of Brixton gsol before 700

convicts.

Mme. Butt, who has recently return- ed from Australia, gave our represen- f tatlve the following impressions of not experience in the gaol: , "I was very much affected by tho idea of singing to those poor mon; l not exactly nervous, but it was quits pathetic to see how the nice ones seemed sad and ashamed to look up.

"The chaplain asked uv to sln¢ two

years ago, but we could not arrange it before. He told us he had found the influence of sacred music of the great-

est value as a means of reformation.

"I think the men liked ‘A-bids lWith

Me' best. They especially asked lhst I should slug that hymn. They were almost pllinflllly quiet and attentive tllrougholli; it we-4 like singing to the hllllll, they seems-ll to listen lo OICOFAY-

“lt is a droadflli thing to /ba shut

up like that, and we are only too s-lad to think that we may have done somo-

thlng to help them." 1 Mme. Butt also sang "The Promlli

of Life" solo, and the "Nilhf Hymll

at Sea" as a duet with Mr. Romford, l who gave “There Is a Green Hill FII.

Away" and "Nazareth," '
