Court's Dignity Is Flaunted,
Woman Throwing Shoe
at the Magistrate.
(United Prens Leaned Wire.)
London. May 22. Bow street police
court became a pandemonium today the
moment the trial began of the 66 suf
fragettes arrested in the two battles
with the police at the entrance to the
grounds of Buckingham palace, where
the king lives.
Besides the prisoners In the dock,
among whom were two men, the court
room was packed with hundreds of
suffragette sympathizers, mostly wom
en, but with a fair sprinkling of men
among them, who kept the place aflut
ter with banners and waving hand
kerchiefs and in an uproar with cheera
for the prlxoners. Jeers for the police
hihI frequent outbursts of revolution
ary song.
Custom did not permit an summary
a clearing of the court room as would
huve followed In the 1'nlted States,
and there "were too many of the dis
turbers to punish for contempt. Ac
cordingly, the hearing was proceeded
with under conditions of the utmost
difficulty. .
In the midst of the hearing one of
tho prisoners snutched off a shoe and
threw It at the magistrate, who dodged
It by a hair's breadth. The attend
ants were on the alert to prevent more
incidents of the kind, but the mtlit
arts' originality, resource and during
were admittedy so great that the most
. constant vlgilanre was necessary, and
even then the officials were in a slate
o.' uninterrupted worry lest some new
iiianlsfestatlon take them by surprise.

Community Practically De
stroyed by Fire.
(Special to The Journal.)
Lebam, Wash.. May 22. Fire, which
wept through Lebam yesterday, prac
tically wiped the town off the map.
The fire started tn the" boiler roorn 'of
the lumber mill and was distributed
n the sawdust conveyor leading across
the boilers into the fire room.
Fireman Boyd Thornton, who stayed
at. his post to blow the mill whistle.
and Kngineer Dulmar Henkley barely
escaped with their lives.
The pump house, which was located
near the boiler house, soon caught fire
and the steam being cut off from the
pump, the fire had a free and unham
pered field.
At first hopes of saving the planer
shed were entertained, but the wind.
which had been blowing east by south,
suddenly shifted to the west, carrying
the fire, into the dry kilns, lumber
yards, and finally into the planer
sheds.
From the lumber yards it quickly
spread into the pool hall building oc
cupied by Jack Crosby. At this point
dynamite was used to blow up three
or four houses, including the pool hall
building. Dynamiting the pool hall
only added to the blaze- as it scattered
the burning timbers from the hall over
cpon the roof of the C. B. IT. & Co.
plant. When the fire caught these
buildings all hope for the saving of the
north side of Main street was given up.
Home Is Saved.
For a time it looked as if the en
tire lower part o? the town would be
burned, but by the eforts of manv of
the visitors from South Bend and Ray
mond the dwelling occupied by Mrs.
hiteside was saved, thus preventing
the conflagration spreading to the
other nearby dwellings. The news hav
ing been flashed to neighboring towns,
people began to come into the town by
spei-ial trains and autos.

to Be Hardsurfaoed Later.
Salem, Or.. May 22. Besieged by a
delegation of 30 or more citizens off
Washington, Yamhill and Polk coun-!
ties, the state highway commission
yesterday afternoon agreed to apply
$8000 of the state highway fund to
ward buQIng a permanent grade and
culverts for the Rex-Tigardville road,
a stretch of about, six miles in Wash
ington county, linking passable good
roads, on condition that those inter
ested raise the money to complete the
work and a grade-of not to exceed
6 per cent can be made. The work
is to be done under the direction of
the state highway engineer as soon
as possible.
This action was taken by the1 high
way commission with the understand
ing that the grade Is to be used as
a base for a" permanent hardsurfaced
road, which is to be completed later
on.
Sam Brown of Gervals appeared be
fore the commission and said that the
people of Gervais had raised $7000
for road improvernent, which has never
been expended, and that they wanted
to hardsurface the four miles of the
Pacific highway running through their
district. He asked for state aid for
this purpose. The board took no ac-
tion on his request. -

Washington, May 22. Because

Charles S. Mellen, former president of
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad, concealed the truth and ac
cepted the Indictment himself.
In repayment for this self sacrifice,
Morgan's son practically "fired" Mel

In a remarkable statement embody

todav his testimonv before the inter

"This transaction was Morgan's
doing," he said, "but I decided "
shoulder the blame because I realized
the state of Mr. Morgan's health. 1
knew positively that it would have
killed him had he been Indicted. There
was nothing 1 would not have done to
aid him."
Here Mellen's voice broke and his
eyes filmed.
"I told Mr. Morgan's son all about
the affair. When he told me it would
be best for" me to leave the New Haven
system, I told him I did not think that
was the proper reward for what I had
done in accepting disgrace to save his
father.
"Morgan's son said he felt badly
about It all. and he assured me broken

it would have killed, him.
"But he accepted my resignation."
Mellen was then excused.

SHIPLOAD OF HINDUS
HELD UP BY VICTORIA
None of 375 Aboard Is
Permitted, to Land; Ottawa
Has Been Appealed To,
( Special to The Journal. i
Victoria, B. C, May 22. The steam
ship Komogata Maru, which arrived
with 375 Hindus aboard for Canada,
only 21 of whom are returning to this
country, was held up on a technical
ity by Dr. H. R. Nelson, quarantine
I official, at Williamhead this morn
ing and now riJes at anchor awaiting
telegraphic orders from Ottawa.
As yet no one has been aboard the
ship but the quarantine and immigra
tion officials. Dr. Nelson is holding
the ship because she failed to bring
a clear certificate of health from
Moji. Japan, her second last port of
call before clearing for Victoria.
She has -a. clear certificate from Yo
kohama, where she called after Moji,
but Dr. Nelson will not overlook the
omission. He has wired to Ottawa for
orders.
This morning a large gasoline launch
full of Hindus and carrying a white
doctor attempted to approach the Ko
magata at anchor. She was warned
off by the immigration offiaials who
read a severe, lecture to the would-be
visitors, in the absence of a declara
tion from them as to their intentions.
The Hindus on the Komogata are a
splendid looking lot of men, far su
perior to the average of Hindus now
in Canada. Gurdit Sing, their reader,
who is on the Komogata, declares that
the matter will be carried to the high
est court in the empire, as the Hindus
are determined to enter Canada. He
says it is a test of British rule in In
dfa. No Hindu has yet been off the
Komogata. The Hindus of Victoria,
reinforced by many from the main
land, are greatly excited. They greatly
desire that the Komogata come in to
the wharves as they wish to witness
the proceedings. This Is unlikely, how
ever, as It is expected the ship will be
detained and examined at Williamhead.
The full Victoria immigration staff
was assisted this morning by officials
from Vancouver. . The latter last night
went to Nana! mo on their way to Port
Alberni, whence they thought the Ko
mogata would attempt - a landing.
Later they hastened to "WilHamhead.
There are three women on board the
Komogata. The youngest member is
Gurdit Sing's son, 7 years old. Most of
them are young men of splendid
physique.

Some of Greatest Questions of Foreign

(Washington Rur-au of The Journal.
Washington, May 22. There is no
denying the feeling of pique and per
haps on the part of some of indigna
tion, because the president is not tell
ing senators and representatives every
thing that they would like to know
about his notions and policies, as well
as the numerous considerations which
help to shape them. It was with a
keen appreciation of this that' Senator
Shively of Indiana, addressing a gath
ering of people from his state it being
the occasion of the third annual ban
quet of the Indiana Society of Wash
ington spoke of the conditions re
ferred t, saying:
"I have more sympathy than ever
with President Wilson in this time of
misunderstanding with another coun
try. It if. so easy for him to be mis
understood." Being one of the most prominent
members of the senate committee on
foreign relations, the senator from In
diana is in a peculiarly advantageous
position to know what may be influ
encing the administration in its foreign
policy. Continuing his remarks, Sena
tor Shively said that President Wilson
has be extremely careful in what
ever step he may take in handling the
present situation "with Mexico. He
said there are so many things to do and
that there are a great many things
done by the president and other offi
cials of the government secretly, be
cause they have to be handled in that
manner.
"Some of the greatest questions per
taming to foreign relations," he de
clared, "are settled in the. president's
office by him. They never get anv
further and the public never hears any
thing of a great many of those ques
tions."
