Silent Picketers of White House Per
sist In Displaying Banners With
Sentiments Deemed Treasonable to
Crowd, Which Spends Day Smash
ing Banners Police Always Late.
WASHINGTON, Juno 21 The per
sistency of suffrage sentinels at the
White House, in hoisting banners
bearing inscriptions interpreted as be
ing "treasonable," culminated in an
anti-suffrage demonstration here to
day when a crowd of nearly a thous
and persons tore down the banners
for a second time today.
Crowd Smashes Banners.
Once earlier in the day, when the
suffragists appeared witb a banner
bearing the same inscription as that
torn down yesterday, a small ciuwd
demolished it without much demon
stration. Soon after noon, however,
the sentinels reappeared with a new
banner, stouter than the others which
they, expected the crowd would have
more difficulty in destroying.
The crowd was good natured for the
most part but determined in its work
and did not attack the women who
hld the banners. Police were forced
to clear the sidewalks in front of the
w)frte house several times but always
managed to reach the scene of tlte
attack on the banners just a moment
too late.
Police. Just Too I.a(
The crowd was not organized and
showed no signs of interfering with
the sentinels themselves until a wom
an, modestly dressed, who had l.een
talking earnestly to one of flic sen
tinels for several minutes, suddenly
snatched one of the banners and ran
into Pennsylvania avenue.
In a moment, the crowd got into
action and the sentinels were sur
rounded. One by one their flag-, of
purple, white and gold, were taken
from them- and torn to shreds. One
standard bearer, Miss Hazel Hanking,
game to the last, climbed upon the
pedestal of one of the white house
gates and raised her banner as high
as she could over her head in an ef
fort to save it. She lasted only a
moment. A man took the pole from
her hand, broke it over the iron gale
and the flag of suffrage fell to the
ground.
Other Onto Attacked.
After all the banners on the en
trance had been torn away the police
began to disperse the crowd, but sonic
one remembered the pickets at the
other entrance and to the footin- of
scores of automobile bonis in the
crowded avenue, the crowd charged
the banner bearers at the other gale.
The work there was quickly done.
One woman tore a silken strap from
the suffrage colors on her hat and
held it high on a pole. She was im
Tcdiately surrounded by a guard of
several other suffragists and efforts
to lake the colors away from her
proved unavailing for several minutes.
In the end, however, the banner met
the fate of the others.
WASHINGTON, June -.The nif-
fragist sentinels brought another ban
ner to the White House gales today
and nnothcr crowd tore it down. To
day's wrecking of the banner was
i'rte with more deliberation than was
the case, yesterday. The iolicc did
not interfere.
The inscription on the banner to
day was the same as on the one dis
played yc.-tcday, acensins President
Wilson and Klilm Knot of "deceiving
Russia" in savins that the IViled
States is a democracy and pleading
with the Russian mis-ion to demand
the enfranchisement of women in the
Vnitcd States.

ent, who visited tho barracks In
Toi'Kvuya street, found posted at tho
gate a little bluo-nyed sentry in a
soldier's khaki blouse, short breeches,
green forage cap, ordinary woman's
black stockings and neat shoes. Tho
sentry was llarya Skrydloff, daugh
ter of Admiral Skrydloff, fovmor com
mander of the Baltic fleet, and min
ister of marine. Insido thero were
four largo dormitories, tho beds with
out bedding nnd Btrewn with heavy
soldiers' overcoats. In tho court
yard 300 girls were at drill, mostly
between IS and 25 years of age, ot
good puhsiquo and many of thorn
pretty. They wore their hair short
or had their heads entirely shaved.
They were drilling under tho instruc
tion of a male sergeant of tho Volyn-

gerated good stop.

Comauiler llnitchkaroff explained
that most of tho recruits woro from
the higher educational academies or
secondary schools with a few peas
ants, factory girls and servants. Some
married women were ncceptod but
nouo who had children. Tho com
mander explained further:
'Wu aply tho rigid system of dis
