MRS. SYMONS IS HEROINE
Leader In Can Breaks Through
Cordon of Armed Guards and
Invade Floor of Bouse
of Commons.
IjOKDOX. Oct. 13. The climax of the
suffragetta campaign waa reached to
night when an enormous mob hemmed In
Parliament and stopped traffic on all
streets leadina- to Westminster. For
more than three hours the crowd scuf
fled good-naturedly with the police. In
terfered with theater-goers, broke win
dows and disorganised things generally
In the center of London.
The heroine of the day was Mrs. Tray.
er Bymons. formerly secretary to James
Kelr Hardle. Socialist and Independent
member of Parliament, who reached the
doors of the House of Commons by strat
egy. The House was solemnly debating
a bill to prevent children from smoking
cigarettes, .when the woman dashed past
the doorkeeper to a position In front of
the speaker's chair and shouted:
Carry Her Out Bodily.
"Ieave off discussing children and talk
about women." Three officials seised
Mrs. 8ymons and carried her out bodily.
She was then led to the outer door and
dismissed. As a result of the coup an
order was Issued that hereafter women
' shall not be admitted to the building on
any pretext whatever, and In ths future
the historic grill will not screen femi
nine apectators.
The appeal Issued by the suffragettes a
few days ago for 60,000 persons to help
them "rush" Parliament at 7:30 o'clock
this evening waa the most successful
stroke yet. Not Icjs than twice that
number responded to the call and nine
tenths of these were young persons who
came to see the fun. There were also
a few hundred of tha unemployed and
their sympathisers.
Parliament Is Besieged.
Parliament waa In a state of siee. A
close triple Una of police was drawn
around the three aldea In front of the
building, the yard within the gatea
swarmed with police and 300 guarded the
terrace In tha rear against assault by
water, which the women twice attempted,
A small fleet of police boat also pa
trolled the Thames.
All the mounted police In London and
suburbs had been mobilized at thla cen
ter and loads of hay were unstacked In
tha streets for the horses. The whole
police force, together with cavalry. In
fantry and marines, numbering more
than tow. waa kept busy In restraining
and pushing tha struggling masses about
Trafalgar Square.
Crowd Is Good-Xatured.
Ths crowds cheered, sang songs, and
hooted In a semi-good-natured manner at
the suffragettes who, distinguished by
their orange sashes, swarmed every
where, distributing tracts.
A delegation of IS suffragettes, which
approached the police cordon and was
formally refused admission to Parlia
ment, attempted a football rr-' but
the police chivalrously repulsed the
women with the least possible rough
ness. The police were pelted with
vegetables and some stones in a few
minor skirmishes that occurred, but
nobody waa seriously hurt.
Twenty-four suffragettes and 11 of
the unemployed were placed under ar
Test. Many persons fainted In the crush;
a few were trampled upon and taken
to the hospitals.
4 Women Sleep In Jail.
Mrs! Parkhurst Miss C. Parkhurst
and Mrs. Iswrenoe were summoned to
appear In court yesterday for inciting
a breach of the peace; this morning
they coolly refused to obey the sum
mons, but agreed to surrender them
selves at ( o'clock in the evening, which
they did. spending the night in the
How-street station.
The suffragettes and unemployed
have kept practically the whole police
force on duty continuously for 4S hours.

a
RENO, Ner.. Oct. 1J. (Special.) Be

tory of the city.
JANITOR GUARDS FORTUNE
Saves Bank $30,000 In Gold Left
Out of Vaults.
SAX FRANCISCO, Oct. 13. (Special.)
Twenty thousand dollars of gold coin, in
pyramids of twenties, lying loose in trays
In the American National Bank, and only
Janitor J. M. Purse to guard It. All night
Purse stood guard over more wealth than
had ever been In his keeping before. Once
or twice he let his gale stray from the
trays long enough Jo ring up by tele
phone In an endeavor to connect with
aome of the bank's officials. He wanted
to tell them that the careless paying
tellers had forgotten to put the trays In
the vault at the end of the day. but be
could get no response.
Purse is an honest man, as his employ
ers knew when they hired him. Had he
been otherwise, this story would have
been different and the bank would have
had a different balance sheet this after
noon.

Supreme Bench Mem
bers of One Opinion.
SECOND CHOICE WILL HOLD
Title Sufficient and Law Valid
on Constitutional Ground.
OBJECTIONS ARE ANSWERED
Regulations for Making Nomina
tions Not Additional Qualifi
cations for Voters at
General Elections.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Oct. 13. (Special.)
The State Supreme Court today unani
mously sustained the direct primary law
in lta entirety. The opinion was written
by Justice Fullerton and signed by Had
ley. Chief Justice; Dunbar, Mount and
Rudkin. Justices Root and Crow, who
were candidates before the primaries, took
no part, although it Is understood that
they agree with other members. The
opinion covers 11 typewritten pages and
consolidates in the decision the four at
tacks upon the direct primary law. The
points upon which the attack was made
and the decision may be summarized
follows:
The court holds that the title is suffi
cient and that the law Is valid on that
constitutional ground. In discussing this
point the court admits the lndefiniteness
of the provision that candidates must file
a statement of campaign expenses, "not
less than 10 days after the primaries,"
and says In such cases the rule Is they
must be filed within a reasonable time.
Federal Point Not Touched.
The court refuses an opinion as to
whether nominations for Representatives
in Congress are properly a part of a
state primary law, . as determination of
such a question is not necessary m this
suit. Similarly, no opinion Is given on the
Senatorial preference, although reference
la made thereto. As to fees, the opinion
says:
The rirht to exact a reasonable fee for
the privilege of running for office may be
sustained on the principle that fees In
actions, and proceeding in court and for
filing and recording papers are sustained.
As to the contention that the act Is un
constitutional, because It revises or
amends other laws without setting forth
In full such amendments, the court says
the act In question is complete within it
self and while It necessarily changes ex
isting laws by superseding some and
limiting the effect of others. It does not
require these old laws should be set forth
In full. Such a rule. It Is said, would
bring legislation to a standstill.
- Not Voting Qualification.
As to the objection requiring a voter
at the primaries to call for a party ticket
and If challenged to swear he will support
that party. It is held this does not require
an additional qualification of a voter In
excess of those provided by constitution.

PICKED UP BY LIFEBOAT
Decide to Descend When Carried
Away From Land Dragged
Through Waves at Rapid
Speed in Darkness.
BERLIN, Oct. 13. The second of the
three American balloons that started In
the race for the international trophy on
Sunday from Bchmargendorf has met dis
aster In the North Sea. The St. Louis,
manned by N. H. Arnold, of North Ad
ams, Mass., and Harry J. Hewitt, waa
carried overland by treacherous air cur
rents and later in the haze the aero-
iauts lost their bearings until suddenly
last night they saw the guard lights of
an unknown coast.
This meant that they must descend or
risk the danger of being driven far out
of the track of vessels. They chose the
former course, and for an hour they were
buffeted by the waves, almost giving
up In despair. Eventually they were res
cued by a lifeboat.
News Comes by. Wireless.
The first intimation of an accident to
the St. Louis was conveyed in a wireless
message from Arnold, sayings
'Lost everything in the North Sea
last night."
The Associated Press was able to com
municate with Mr. Arnold at Wll helm-
shaven, to which place he had been trans
ported by one of the torpedo-boats which
last evening was sent out to render as
sistance to any of the balloonlsts who
might drift out over the Water.' "Mr.
Arnold told a graphic story of their de
scent and rescue by a lifeboat. He said:
Arnold Tells His Story.
"All day Monday with the exception
of the early afternoon we were unable
to see the earth and we lowered the
balloon repeatedly to communicate
with the people to ascertain our where
abouts. Apparently we could not make
them understand, but this was appar
ently due to our poor German. Finally
we decided to risk proceeding, still
having 20 sacks of ballast.
"Moving in a northwesterly direction
In the evening we noticed lighthouses
and buoys, which convinced us that we
were moving above big water, but we
had no idea where we were.
Put on Life Preservers.
"In order to avoid drifting out of
the line of ship traffic, we concluded
to go down to the water, but before
doing so we put on life-preservers.
The descent was a perilous task, for it

Large Increase Over 190 6 in Re
publican Districts, Decrease In
Tammany Districts.
NEW YORK, Oct. IS. (Special.) Com
plete figures made for the five boroughs
In New York City for the four registra
tion days show an increase of 23.S36 over
1906 and a decrease of 6436 from 1904. An
analysis of the registration by districts
shows such a heavy decline In the strong
Tammany districts In Manhattan- and
such corresponding increase in the Re
publican districts ae to make it evident
that the total results cannot but be con
aidered as distinctly favorable to a large
proportionate vote for Taft and Hughes,
A real comparisen of results of the
total registration, district by district, is
possible only with figures for 1906, the
year Ir.-r which Governor Hughes was
elected, " because there has been a re
apportionment and - redisricting since
1904. All the Bronx districts show a con
siderable Increase due to the rapid re
cent growth of those districts. They
may, therefore' be left out of the cal
culation.
In 31 Manhattan districts the registra
tion figures show an unmistakable ten
dency toward an increased vote In the
Republican districts. On the other hand,
of 23 Tammany districts In the city, all
but three show a falling off.
