PANKURST 2 MEDFORDITES DIES IN LONDON; Famous British Suffragette Succumbs to Long Illness at Advanced Age; Se cured Votes for Women; Sketch of Unique Public Career. LONDON. Juno 14, W-Mre. Eniilino Punkhurst died this morn ing. ,, pnnkhurst was the first JUTS, l-ananuisi vas llio Ilisi militant suffragist. From tho beginning of the mili tant movement of English women WOMEN ill m uemana ror equal suirrage. .-urs., - '"V 7 Pankhurst was Its leader. Sheandither growth and advancement of her two daughters. Chrtstabel and Sylvia, were among the founders In 1903 of the Women's Social and Political union, official name of the organization which shortly afterward Introduced the spectacu lar c raof militancy. , As leader of thiH union Mrs. Pank hurst inwplred and openly sfood Fponnor for the sertew of violent acts, ranging from amon and the destruction of art treas tires down to the petty annoyance of puHinp the coat-tails of cald net ministers that formed so lare a part of the day's news during the height of the militant's ac tivities In 1113-14. She justified all as a means to Impress upon an obstinate government woman's de mand for the vote. The leader repeatedly tried to die a martyr to her cause by co Inp on "hunger atrike" each of the half a dozen times she wns thrown into English prisons. She held that only a martyr's sacrifice would convince the Bovernment of the earnestness of woman's appeal, and so nearly did she sometimes come to dying from her eelf-lm-posed starvation In prlnon that she was regularly released under the "cat and mouse" act. after serving only a few days of the long term: to which idle was sentenced. It was only tu renrw the hattle when hhe recvored h-r Ftrengih. The period of militancy under her leadership saw women repeat edly charging an army of police men In attempts to gain the floor of the hnti so of common: there were scatireii instances of women who gained the culler leu of purlin-' it;:; mcnt and chained thfr; there were almoi awie cnKrs of women themselves to peats at pollilcnl meetings, heckling the speakers ml finally breaking up the meet ings altogether: the homes of many government supporters were fired l by suffrage! (v. and some public Institutions dcHroycd; the slushing of paiutiiiKK and the destruction of other works of art In the mu seums became so general that many of the Institutions were closed for long periods; petitions were thrown In the face of the klnB when he was on parade: acid vn poured Into tw mall boxes: hammers wen thrown through the windows of business places and minister' houses: the kind's horse was trip pcil in the Derby by a suffnmettc who lust her life In the feat. These are ony outstanding acts which taxi-d both the ingenuity and ine oaring of the suffragette. Mrs. Penkhurst approved of it all and Inspired much of it. nut her appoarance and her personul habits belied the fiKhlinK spirit she displayed. She was slight In stat ure ami at so was often deserihed as having preserved mueh of her girlish beauty. Stn.fc-nts of her temperament found nothing mas culine In It. She revebd In bright colors and flounces as much as the average woninr; she wn passion ately fond of music and of chil dren and "made the best jam in Kngland." She defended strongly the sanctity of marriage. . Bui revolutionary Wood was traced back to her grandfather, who narrowly escaped being killed In franchise riots, and to her father who was a radical. As Kmmeline Goulden she was burn In .Man chester. England, on a day whu-h she has described an "the anni versary of the storming of the Pas tile," but the year Is not given. She was. however, nearly 74 years old at the time of her death. Her education In Paris as a girl brought her under further radhal Influences, and she became a com panlon of the duughter of Henri Itochefort, and an ardent republi can. In 1879 she married Dr. Panic hurst, who""was a member of the flint Woman Suffrage society or ganized In Kngland. She shared her husband's interest In the ad vancement of women. He was a prominent member or the English bar and was author of the Married "Woman's Property act which be came Knglish law in the early &us. Dcnjr I'tijio 1. HI. ItOMK, Juno 11.

Soon Pill Lydiard showed by his nervousness and white face that he was fully cognizant of the dan gerous journey ahead, as did Crooks. Then Fred Mcpherson pinned a piece of black crepe on' Lydlard's coat lapel, while M. N. Hogan, lest Lydiard and Crooks should not have money enough with them, presented them with a large roll, while Pill Gates gave Lydiard some other utensils, which i come handy in great stages or fright.

Jumped Into the plane, shouted Iet 'or go," and were s-oon speed ing southward. Just before they hoarded the plane. Crooks staggered over to Lydiard and Jerked the black crepe fmm his coat and threw It to the ground, saying "We're hoodooed enough now. without that."
