hOXnOX. Jan. 28. As a protest
s gainst the withdrawal of the franchise
bill by the government, the suffragists
resumed their militant tactics tonight.
While a deputation, which the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, David Lloyd
George, had refused to see until to
morrow morning, was trying to force
Its way Into Parliament against an
overwhelming force of police and the
members were being placed under ar
rest for resisting the officers, other
bands of women went through White
hall breaking windows of the govern
ment offices and through Cockspur
street, where the great plate glass
windows In the establishments of ship
ping companies were smashed ruth
lessly. The women also visited Oxford.
Ilegent and other streets In the shop
ping district, where similar damage
was done. Later, mail boxes were at
tacked, quantities of liquid being
poured into them.
Saburnaa Property Dimit'l.
In the outlying suburbs, too. the suf
fragists by damaging property took
steps to bring the cause before the
public Twenty-one women were ar
rested In the vicinity of the Parlia
ment building, but were allowed out on
bail after the House rose. Most of the
police stations had one or more prison, j
ers charged with destroying propertj.
The demonstration In Whitehall was
not so large as some of those pre
viously bcld. the force of police and a
drenching rain militating against any
great turnout. The wildest excite
ment prevailed, however, and besides
protecting property and arresting wo
men engaged in window-smashing or
who refused to move on when ordered,
the police had the greatest difficulty In
protecting the women from an unruly
crowd of youths who hustled every wo
man wearing the suffragist colors.

In several cases the women were
roughly handled. An attempt to duck
four of them In the fountain In
Trafalgar Square was frustrated bv a
police posse which had to ride through
the crowd.
The entire deputation of II women
who attempted to make their way Into
the House of Commons to interview
Chancellor Lloyd-Georere was arrested.
The peers Included Mrs. Prummond
and Sylvia pankhurst. who marched In
front. Beore starting on their mis
sion, the delegates listened to addresse.
by Mrs. Emineline Pankhurst and other
leaders.
Mrs. Tankhurst said the withdrawal
of the franchise bill. Including the
Speaker's ruling, was h plot decided
on long ago. and that Premier Asquith
was aware of It.
"The answer to this treachery." she
declared, "is militancy."
Police Citve Safe Kaeort.
Sylvia Pankhurst declared their In
tention was to hold the Speaker in the
chair and leave Mr. Asquith on the
bench, and with this the deputation
started. The police gave them safe
escort as far as the entrance of Parlia
ment, where an Inspector informed
them that tlie Chancellor of the Ex
chequer would be unabla to see them
until morning. Mrs. Drummond re
torted: "Tills is tomfoolery. If you
do not let is In. there will be trouble."
At that the members of the deputa
tion threw themselves at the police.
Who stood six deep across the entrance,
and a scramble followed in which Mrs.
Prummond and another woman were
either thrown or fell to the ground.
The police gave the women several
chances to withdraw quietly, but as
they refused all were arrested. The
crowd showed little sympathy for the
suffragists. The authorities, it is under
stood, contemplate arresting the lead
ers for inciting their followers to break
the laws.

Webb. Arizona's electoral vote messen
ger, for whom Senators Ashurst and
Smith have been searching by telesfaph
for two days, delivered the official
vote of the state to the Vice-President's
office late today. Although he
was a. day late, the excuse Mr. Webb
offered for his tardiness was consid
ered sufficient to entitle Mm to the
milage of $642.75 and to entitle the
state to its vote.
Mr. Webb said he reached New Tork
early today. At breakfast he picked
up a newspaper and read with surprise
that the Senators were searching the
country for him. He Immediately
telegraphed to Senator Ashurst and
took the next train for Washington.
"I didn't know anything about the
law." said Webb, who is a sunburned
rancher, "so I got a lawyer friend to
draw me up a set of Instructions. He
told me I had to deliver the vote to
Washington February 1. and so 1 have
been taking my time to get here. Jt
spoiled my appetite for breakfast
though, when I saw how badly I was
wanted this morning."
Mr. Webb was escorted by news
paper men when he went to draw his
money, but no objection was raised
at the disbursing office and he breathed
a sigh of relief. The votes are now
in the hands of the Senate and ready
to be canvassed at the Joint session
of the Senate and House February 2.

O'GORMAN FOR FREE TOLLS
Declaration by Wilson's Friend Re
garded as Significant.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. In view
of the friendship between President
elect Wilson and Senator O'Gorman. of
New York, some significance is being
attached to the Senator's statement
today when asked whether the Incom
ing Administration would recommend a
repeal of the free tolls provision of
the Panama act.
"It seems to me," said Senator
O'Gorman. "that Democrats who favor
a repeal of the tee tolls provision
must wait for the declaration of
another National convention. The last
National convention adopted unani
mously a declaration In favor of free
tolls. That Is lemocratlc doctrine and
I think It will stand for four years."

JONES IS CALLED UNJUST
Virginian, Attacking Island' Govern

"ot In Accord.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 28. Division
that exists within Democratic ranks
over granting independence to the
Philippines was emphasized in the
House today when American adminis
tration In the island was made the
subject of a. severe attack by Rep
resentative Jones, of Virginia, chair
man of the House committee on Insular
affairs.
Representative Jones- suggestions for
Philippine independence, which have
been considered favorably by President-elect
Wilson, were opposed by
Representative Sherley (Democrat), of
Kentucky, while criticisms of Presi
dent Taft and Governor-General Cam
eron Forbes brought a sharp reply
from Representative Murray, Dem., of
Massachusetts.
The speech of Mr. Jones was both
a demand for independence and a se
vere arraignment of American admin
istration in the Islands.
Murray Charsjea "Slander."
Representative Murray charges him
with having "slandered Cameron
Forbes," and "defamed President Taft."
Mr. Jones denied these charges, but
insisted the administration of the is
lands had violated at least the spirit
of the laws governing the Philippines.
The dispute brought out the fact that
an investigation of Philippine affairs
recenly had been discussed by the
House committee on Insular affairs,
but no action was taken.
Representative Murray, a member of
the committee, declared that had he
known Chairman Jones intended to
"charge Governor Forbes with being a
grafter," he would have insisted on
having Governor Forbes brought be
fore the committee, where he could re
ply to the attacks.
Speech "Unutterably I'njnst."
"I have not charged Governor Forbes
with being a grafter," retorted Mr.
Jones.
"You have been unutterably unjust

Commission Men's Reply to Threat
to Establish Repots Is: "Let
' Them Come On."
SAN FRA-NCISCO. Jan. 2S. (Special.)
"Handle our apples or we will sell at
retail ourselves," Is the-demand to be
made on the San Francisco commission
men by the Watsonvllle Applegrowers'
Association.
With this ultimatum goes the an
nouncement that if the commission men
do not act, apple depots will be opened
in many sections of San Francisco and
Oakland.
A delegation from Watsonvllle is ar
riving" in detachments. Some of the
men came in last night. Some are
starting from their homes today.
Among the leaders are C- II. Baker
and James Sheehey, sometimes called
the "apple kings." The Watsonvllle
men- will Insist on the sale of their
apples, even to. the exclusion of the
Oregon ' product. A conference with
the wholesale Fruit and Produce As
sociation, or with the individual deal
ers, Is expected tomorrow.
The total pack of the state in 1912
is placed by A, Levy, of the A. Levy
& J. Zentner Company; at l,i30,000
boxes, and there still remain in cold
storage in San Francisco 500,000 boxes.
Stocks in other cities of the state, in
cluding Watsonvllle,. are placed at
S00.000 boxes. The Watsonvllle stock,
according to Levy, Ms about 180,000
boxes.
All of these apples must be sold be
fore the cherry and apricot seasons be
gins. The day these fruits come in there
is a slump In apples.
If the season is late this year the
apple crop may be cleaned up. but if
it Is early, there will be some stock
left, a loss.
The attitude of the commission men
is: "Let them come on. We do not
care. We will sell any kind of apples,
Oregon or Watsonvllle."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S. The fight
over president Taffs appointments was
on in earnest today In the Senate and
for six hours Republicans and Demo
crats battled heblnd closed doors, the
former demanding action cn the nom
inations and the latter filibustering
to prevent it.
When adjournment came tonight it
was expected that the fight would be
renewed tomorrow, unless Republican
leaders should decided to rest upon the
record made today.
Democratic Senators consistently re
fused to take up the nominations in
regular order and professed themselves
willing to take the blame for the de

Retaliation la Threateaed.
As a result of the. development of the
filibuster, intimations were given out
tonight by Republican Senators that
the fight undoubtedly would extend
into President-elect Wilson's Adminis

to break a quorum. ," " " "
Preparations were made for a night

to adjourn and decide tomorrow wheth
