Forward, deputy governor of Holloway Jail, where many suffragettes have been Imprisoned, pounced upon him as he passed and horsewhipped him soundly before a policeman rescued him. The two women, arrested, refused to give their names. The horse whipping was the second Forward has had at the suffragettes" hands. The militants accuse him of responsibility for tho forcible feeding of hunger strikers. Mrs. Mildred Mansell, a suffragette leader, told a meeting last night that the prison authorities had resorted re cently to the method of drugging the hunger strikers in order to feed them. She specifically charged that this was done in the cases of Grace Roe and Gladys Roberts, Holloway prisoners. Mrs. Mansell also gave warning to society women-who entertain cabinet members at their homes that they "must take tho consequences if they continue to harbor officials." About the same time that Dr. For ward was being attacked a fashionably clad militant pulled a hatchet from her handbag' in tho Dore gallery, hacked two almost priceless engravings to pieces and was starting on a third when , her arm was grasped by an at tendant, against whom she directed her weapon, inflicting several painful wounds before others, coming to her assistance, overpowered the - woman and turned her over to the police.
