Thord Gray, formerly of the British army, arrived here today and probably will be employed by the Constitution alist as artillery and cavaolry in structor. . Work Confined to Teaching. .... It was pointed out that this would not be a deviation from the Insurgent policy of not accepting- foreigners in the army, as Captain Gray's work would be confined to teaching. The lnsrgonta have much artillery on hand, but only untrained young Mexicans to operate It. They also desire to establish a system of trav eling Inspectors to instruct the various commands in a simple and uniform drill manual. These means will be taken to sect-re a well organized body of troops to offset the old federal regulars, who to a certain extent have remained with the central government through the various political changes of the last tr ree years.

LEADER'S FRIENDS FOILED London Officers Meet Returning Dis turber Army of Sympathizers Drenched In Effort to Reach Traveler Ahead of Law. PLYMOUTH. Dec. 4. Outwitting an army of suffragettes on land and on sea today, London police conducted Mrs. Emmallne Pankhurst from the steamer Majestic and took her to jail. Mrs. Pankhurst was returning from a tour of America, and an army of mil itants, using a small launch as their "warship," braved a high sea to reach the Majestic, when the big steamer was stopped by the officers outside the breakwater. The frail craft of the mil itants was buffeted about like a chip. It was unable to reach the steamer un til the police boat had brought up alongside the Majestic and the officers had the returning warrior under arrest. Those aboard the "warship were drenched as waves broke over the little craft. When the police boat proceeded to port with Mrs. Pankhurst under ar rest the militants followed In her wake, shouting through megaphones to their leader, counseling her not to land. Six policemen and a woman officer boarded the steamer to prevent any demonstration by the passengers when the arrest was made. There was no In terference, and although the home coming militant protested and demand ed to see the warrant on which she was held, she walked calmly down the plank between two husky officers when the police boat docked. After landing, Mrs. Pankhurst was hurried to a waiting patrol and the officers started In the direction of London, but afterward changed their route and made for Exeter to avoid pursuit. It Is thought by the suffragettes that Mra Pankhurst would be taken to some prison in the southwest of London, and guards waited outside of all jails last night and today, expecting to make a demonstration when their leader ar rived. .Late tonight, learning of the ruse adopted by the police, they dis banded in disgust. STAR ROUTES HARD HIT PARCEL POST ADDS TO EXFESE, CVTS PROFIT DOW.T. Smith, of Idaho, Vrges Relssbarsesaeat f Coatrartorai Also Better Pay for Hard-Worked Carriers, OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Dec 4. Representative Smith, of Idaho, will urge an appropriation to reimburse the mail carriers on star routes for the 'losses which they sus tain by reason of being compelled to carry parcel post packages without additional compensation. "The parcel post system Is of the ut most possible benefit to the great mass of the people In every section of the country." he said today, "and I ob serve that the statement is made that the department has already received $30,000,000 more than it cost to trans port the parcel post packages through the mall since the Inauguration of the system. Unfortunately the mall car riers on many star routes have been carrying the malls since January at a loss because of the increased weight of the parcel post packages. Parcels and packages which the mall contrac tors heretofore carried as freight, the proceeds f which were a factor In their undertaking the contract, are now sent by parcel post, for carrying which the mail contractor receives nothing. "Groceries, dry goods, hardware and other merchandise are now sent by mall, and on some of ills routes going far into the interior of the state mall Is carried on snowshoes. One can Imagine the feelings of a star route contractor who Is confronted with a hundred packages of 20 pounds each of nails, flour, groceries, etc, which he is required to transport for nothing, on the penalty of being forced to throw up his contract and have his bondsman held by the Government. "I am also in favor of increasing the salary of rural mail carriers who, on account of the Increased mail In cident to the Inauguration of the par cel post system, are compelled to era ploy larger and more expensive outfits in carrying the mall than was neces sary before the inauguration of the parcel post system. SWINDLERS USE "MOVIES" Government Charges Land Fraud Worked at Picture Shows. KANSAS CITY.

Dec. 4.- Women op posed to equal suffrage had their in ning: today before the House commit tee on rules to protest ag-alnst the res olution championed by the women suf frarlsta. which would create a suffrage standing committee In the House of Kepresentatlves. Scores of women from various parts of the country, mar shalled by Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge, of New York, appealed to the committee not to grant the suffragists' plea. The suffragists will have an oppor tunity tomorrow to answer the attack, Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCulloch. of Chicago, having- been chosen to sum up the case. Though the anti-suffrage women oc cupied most of the day. their arguments were closed by a man, Everett P.

Mr. Wheeler said: "When I saw this person yesterday f-hako her clenched fist and declare: 'We demand our rights,' I said to my self: 'Clenched flats mean fight.' The manhood of this Nation haa been trained to respect and revere woman hood and I claim that for American manhood today, but If we are chal lenged to fight this movement there will be blows to give as well as blows to take. Mr. Wheeler paid a tribute to Miss lane Addfems. who addressed the com mittee yesterday on behalf of equal suffrage, and declared It was an "ill day for the Nation when Jane Addams diverted her attention from philan thropy to suffrage." Kx-Snf frajclat Addrees Committee. Miss Anna Bok, of California, a for mer suffrage worker in that state, as serted equal suffrage was a failure. It was contended that tbe suffrage movement was sporadic In Its nature, and that the ballot was not wanted by as many women as the suffragists de clare. It was denied that tbe suffragist movement had grown to such propor tions as to demand a House committee. Mrs. A. M. Dodge, president of the National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage, said the speakers represented "more than 90,000 American women, all over voting age. This.
