PAIiKHUKST FACTION .
HAS A STRONG BIVAL
Attitude of English Press' Has
Changed from Cold Indifference
, nd Neglect And Suffrage Is Now
Receiving JMore Attention.,
' London, May 5. I-liave alluded to
ths Worqen's; Freedom; league. Though
n' united , family party, Mr. ; Emsllne
Fankhurst 'and ,her three daughters,
Chrlstabel, Adela and Sylvia. . hava not
been ' able to retain their organisation
intact.- A serious split occurred a few
mdhtha back -when, so my Information
runs. Mrs. 'par.khurst's arbitrary and
unconstitutional proceedings drove sev
eral of her best supporters into revolt.
They spit off and formed another so
ciety known as the Women's Freedom
league.
It has offices' in Buckingham street,
and Its officers are not one whtt less
aggressive or Inexorable . in their de
mands - than Its parent organisation.
The chief is Mrs. Despard, sinter of
General French, every bit as ready to
make war on" our government as was
General French on the Boers. ' She is
63, . with dignified presence and fine,
clearly ohlseled aristocratic features.
The three chief officers of the league.
Mrs. How Martrn. Mra Despard and
Mrs. ' Billlngton-Orelg, have all served
sentences in prison, and so have seven
of the committee of It ladlea
' 1 u - uui punicuiar nwinvri wujuu lie
40 branches, is due the brilliant idea of
ladies arising In police courts and pro
testing; aganst the trial of women who
are In the dock, on the ground that they
have not framed the laws.
They also a few months ago went to
interview cabinet ministers at their
firivate residences, ringing bells, knocki
ng at the door and haranguing crowds
from the doorstep. '
Some members of the "society are re
fusing to pay taxes or-to take out' a
license for the use of armorial bearings,
a did Dr. Octavla Lewin; they-allow
tlveir roods to be distrained rather than
obey laws they -did not help to make.
The league will join the "old gang" in
the procession on June 1J rather .than
the Pankhurst faction.
' The . Pankhursts, otherwise the Wo
men's Boclal and Political union, have
purposely chosen the longest' day of the
year for their great demonstration. ,
1 They appeal to women to be present
in hundreds of thousands on that day In
Hyde pork. . ; .
il IS- moraiiy certain mat tney win
get a great deal of support, not only
rrona women, rut rrom men. Uii tii
dav when Hvde Park railings were
thrown down In 1866, 70,000 men were
present. - '
-. But the Fankhurits want 260,000 wo
men. There are to be 20 platforms, 80
speakers, seven processions to enter the
park, by different gates and 80 special
trains to bring women to London. "Wo
men of London." (thus runs a leaflet
In my hand) "you must be In Hyde Park
on that day. the story of which you will
hand down to your children a the most
memorable in your life," " -' .
"Women-of England! Wherever yon
live you must come to. take part In this
great demonstration." They go on to
way the government baa bidden them
demonstrate, and they will, for the vote
niii ro tneira ir tney come to ciaim it.
It fa never safe to prophesy, but per
sonally I should not be surprised If this
proved the greatest demonstration wo
men have ever made. J
There la no doubt the attitude of the
press has greatly changed: from cold
indifference and neglect the suffrage
is now receiving mora attention wan
ever before.
, At the moment of writing, two wo
men's suffrage papers are being run
in London, "Women's Franchise" by the
older, conservative societies, and "votes
for women," organ of the "Forwards."
The last was a monthly until April;
for the future it will appear weekly.
We .must also take note of the changed
tone of the press, a change for the most
part unexpected,
The aums of money which the Pank
hurste can and do collect have bean un
heard of till now In .suffrage work.
Their aelf-denlal week alone produced
f,80O. When they go to a new place to
break ground, expecting to spend money,
the organizers return with expenses paid
and a sum to add. to the general fund.
Bv the lamented death of Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman, woman suffrage
lost a lukewarm friend: by the accession
of Mr. Asquith to the premiership it
most encounter an open ' enemy; , but
Jovernments are the creatures of ma
oritles; and nothing ia certain..
Olanolng over the mass of literature
(nevar has suffrage literature been so
various, so wide Cast and so widely
read) chat my Interest -In the question
has brought me. my eye has been ar
rested by the dictum of the chairman
of one of Hiss Adela Pankhurst's meet
ings at, Btockbrldge, Mr. Joseph. He
appealed for a fair hearing for her. "
The great vented, interests of this
country do not desire women to have
votes. "The brewers ' dread the day
when women shall have votes." As a
woman Interested in temperance reform
I agree. Whatever methods are used,
whatever of approval we afford to "For.
wards," women suffrage is bound up
with the cause of reform and must win.
A TEEE ONA TOWER.
It Is the Last of a Grove of Four on
- -- ,, the Same Perch.
A tree growing on the top of the 110
foot tower of the courthouse at Greens
burg, Indiana, la a curiosity which is
. said by a writer In St Nicholas to have
no duplicate in the world. v
.' There: were formerly four trees, but
when the courthouse was remodeled in
1887 the largest tree, then about IS feet
high, was removed, as its stse was
thought to render the tower unsafe.
' Two others on the south side perished
from -the intense heat. The tree left
in found at the northwest corner of the
tower, where the reflection of the heat
of the tower is not so . intense as at
the point where the two others died. .
. As there is a grove of soft maples
growing in . the courthouse yard, the
grove on the tower Is supposed to have
linen tttn.rt.Ai1 hv the -wind lilftwlnflr tha
winged : maple seeds into the crevices,
where, catohlng root in the sediments
-pf -dust-and watered by the rain, they
sprouted;
Tne trees were first noticed sprouting
more than 80 years ago.
A recent examination of the tower,
shows no damage done by the spread
ing and growth of the roots. This tree
In about 15 feet in height and three
-Inches in diameter. - It was found that
the; trees were nourished by a layer of
growth a few feet below where the
roots emerge.
"A large' crack on the south side of
the tower where one of the trees was
removed is noticeable from the ground.
Because of the lone tree, Oreensburg is
sometimes known as the "Lone Tree
c.ty." . . , .

liced a light and notified the sexton.
Peter McCann, he called Father .Hand,
and after they had both got revolvers,
went into the church. . .
It was not Father Hand's first experi
ence with thieves. About two months
ago Father Hand found ,two men in the
church. He tried to catch them, but
they both succeeded in getting out of
the church.
In making their search ' yesterday
morning Father Hand, and the sexton
went into the church first, but finding
no person there, they went into -the
basement Each - had his revolver
cocked ready for action. They had al
most decided to give up the search
when they reached a pile of lumber
in the rear part of the basement and
there found McQlynn. He got no oppor
tunity to show resistance because the
sexton immediately grabbed him and
held his arms. Father Hand sum
moned Policeman' Groh, .who arrested
McGlynn. .
McGlynn got Into the church by a
window and had forced open a desk
which contained nothing of value.
McGlynn was arraigned before Mag
istrate Scott. Both " the sexton aad
Father Hand appeared against him.
McGlynn was held In $1,500 bail, for
trial..'

these Acre Tracts are the Best Investment in Oregon
ATTENTION VISITORS I
If you are looking for gilt-edge investment go out today or before you leave
for home and investigate for yourselves. This land is ideal for fruit and garden
truck, especially for cherries and walnuts. Some acres are cleared, some par
tially cleared, and some all timber. The wood alone on some tracts is worth far
more than what we are selling the land for. The situation on the new Salem
electric line is convenient to the business center and the car service good. It
takes longer-to'reach many city additions and suburbs where 50xl00-foot lots
are selling for$500 and up. METZQER ACRE TRACTS are selling fast. Sev-"
eral hundred remain to choose from. Improvements are going on all the time.
A perpetual park will be reserved for the benefit of the hundreds of people who
will in a few years be living at this pretty. suburb
