\ ??
Sylvia Pankhnrst and Twenty Other
leaders of Suffrage Cause
Are Arrested.
London, July 28.?Sylvia Fankhurst,
the militant suffragette, who
was out on license under tue "cat
and mouse law" was the lead " of a
suffragette demonstration yesterday
which HiirnnnRpri all nrevious Sundav
afternoon affairs of the sort. During
the rioting which followed, Miss
Pankhurst was rearrested and taken
to Holloway jail.
The meeting held in Trafalgar
Square by the Men's Federation for
Woman's Suffrage and the East End
branch of the Woman's Social and
Political Union, had been announced
'.n advance and this fact and also a
rumor that a charge upon Premier
Asqulth's residence was planned,
brought enormous crowds into the
square.
"On to Downing street," was the
watchword and but for vigorous
work by the mobilized police, who
arrested Miss Pankhurst and 20 men
and women supporters, there would
have been window smashing and
perhaps worse damage at the Premier's
house. The procession of men
and women marched Jrom White
Chapel to Trafalgar Square wun
constantly growing crowds following.
It entered the square with the
band playing the Marseillaise and
planted banners on the plinth of the
Nelson column. Miss Pankhurst
made a dramatic appearance from
among the crowd and was dragged
to the plinth amid great cheering.
When the demonstration had subsided
she made an impassioned speech.
"The time for speaking Is over."
she said. "Deeds, not words are
wanted. Let us all go to Downing
street."
Miss Pankhurst with a bundle of
papers in her hand was swept off the
plinth hv the mob and the square
was a mass of excited and struggling
people.
The huge crowd, Miss Pankhurst
leading, moved down Whitehall toward
Downing street. A platoon of
police which had come at double
quick from Scotland Yaid, formed a
corden nomas the roaci, wnicn was
effectively aided by a blockade of
wheeled conveyances. Mounted police
road into the crowd, scattering
It and driving the people down various
streets, while officers In plain
clothes got possession of Miss Pankhurst
after a fist fight with her bodyguard
of East End youths.
The mounted men cleared a way
for the prisoner to a cab. Miss Pankhurst
was driven to Holloway Jail
to serve the remainder of her sentence
or stay until she is again released
through a hunger strike. In
the station house she struggled desperately
with the officers and
smashed a window with a ruler.
After Miss Pankhurst haa been
taken into custody, two women were
arrested for throwing stones at Mr.
Asquith's windows. During the
rioting several policemen were badly
injured.

| with indignation today when officers
and members learned that Representative
J. Thomas Heflin of Alabama,
their most bitter opponent in Congress,
had flred another broadside
into their camp last night from the
pulpit of a local, church. In addition
to criticising the "cause in vigorous
terms," Mr. Heflin also gave
his definition of suffragists and their :
made supporters. Here it is:
| "SufTragettes?Unmarried female
fanatics.
j "Suffragettars?Unhappy, discontented
married women.
"SufTragettoes?The male suffragette.
A feeble-minded, suffrotes;cent
creature."
! Mr. Heflin explained today that
the word "suftrotescent" was his
own coinage. After some thought
I he said he believed that "wooden

without any loss in meaning.

PRESIDENT'S VIEWS
MEXICAN SITUATION
Docs Not Believe the Public Miml
of the ViiKod States is Excited
Over Conditions There.
Washington, July 28.?President
Wilson does not believe the public
mind in the United States is excited
over the situation in Mexico nor is
he convinced that a crisis has been
reached in the revolution Itself.
This information was obtained in
official circles today with an authoritative
denial that any proposal lookinp
toward a co-operation between
American military forces and the
Mexican povernment for the restoration
of peace had been suppested.
Those who approached the President
today on the Mexican situation
found him disinclined to discuss it,
as later he was to confer with Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson. Secretary
Bryan arranged to see the
President before the conference.
The secretary also continued his reticence
on the Mexican affairs.
It was learned at the White House,
however, that reports crediting Ambassador
Wilson with having advocated
a set of proposals contemplating
military co-operation with Mexico
or intervention were unfounded.
The President has received from
Ambassador Wilson a historical account
of events in Mexico in the
last three years.
CHINESE RAISE FUNDS.
Have Established Headquarters in
New York For Rebel Cause.
New York. July 28.?Nine Chinese
business men of New York are on
their way today to Boston, Chicago
and other cities to raise money
among their fellow countrymen for
the support of the .revolutionary
party in China. It was said that
similar action had been taken among
the Chinese leaders In San Francisco,
who were sending out men today
to raise money among the Chinese
residents of Western cities.
A rnrnmitton nf tan frwmnA at a
meeting yesterday has established
headquarters in New York for the
aid of the rebel cause. They declare
that the Chinese in this country are
overwhelmingly for the rebels and
they denounce the provisional president,
Yuan Shi Kai, as ambitious to
become an emperor.

America Is Ready For the Issue.
Washington. July 26.?Intlma- 1
tlons were given by Secretary Bryan
today to the committee that the administration
was prepared for any j
development hi Mexican affairs but
the nature of the policy being shaped 1
at the Whjte House and state de- I
partment Was not disclosed. The
proposals for the mediation were <
not brought up at the senate confer- 1
ence and no suggestions on the Rub- >

LANCASTER, S. C., TUJ
ADVISES REST FOR WILSON
HE IS TOO CLOSE TO HVERTA.
Polite Way of Telling Ambassador
to Mexico That His Services is
No linger Needed.
Washington, July 28.?Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson, summoned
from Mexico City to inform the
Washington administration of conditions
In the rebellion-torn republic,
talked for an hour with President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan today,
submitting chiefly a recommendation
that the United States use its influence
to stabilize the Huerta regime.
No policy was evolved, at least
none was announced, but it became
known that the President's ideas
and those of Ambassador Wilson's
as to the course to be pursued are so
radically different that administration
officials interpreted the day's
developments as forecasting the acceptance
of Ambassador Wilson's
resignation.
NOT IN ACCORD.
President Wilson and the ambassador
regard the future of the Mexican
situation. It was learned, from
opposite viewpoints. The President
is concerned over the morality of
any policy adopted by the United
States and its effect on other UatinAmerican
countries and is disciplined
to strengthen a government that
came into power through the questionable
events incident to Madoro's
assassination.
Ambassador Wilson, on the other
hand, is disposed to look at the situation.
not from past events, but
with the practical idea of the future.
He believes it is the business of the
government to look to the future and
his suggestions have been in the direction
of extending things to conserve
American interests. The inadvisability
from a diplomatic standpoint
of maintaining n Mexico City
a representative who would not be
sympathetic with the purpose of the
Wilson administration in Washington
is said to have practically convinced
the President that the embassy
in Mexico City had better be
conducted for the present by Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, its first secretary,
reputed here as efficient and experienced.
The appointmert of a new
ambassador would be contingent upon
the establishment of a satisfactory
government at Mexico Cltv.
Meanwhile, the President advised
Ambassador Wilson to take a rest
for a few days as he has been laboring
under a nervous strain.
MAY SPARE NECESSITY OF
MEDIATION.
While the chief officers of the
American government were debating
the facts of the situation today,
it became known that a movement
was on foot which might eventually
spare them the necessity of offering
mediation or any other kind of interference
in Mexican affairs, upon
which the national pride of Mexico
is sensitive.
The plan contemplates a repetition
of the process by which Diaz
abdicated in favor of a provisional
president acceptable to both factions
i nthe revolt against him. Prominent
Mexicans of influence are interested
In the idea and have informed Secretary
Rryan that if the American
government would refrain from any
policy of mediation, at least for the
present, they felt confident of bringing
about an understanding between
the warring forces looking toward a
peaceful solution of political difficulties.
Provisional President Huerta. it is
suggested, in the peace plan might
he persuaded by his friends that with
the desperate financial condition of
Mexico, his resignation would be an
act of patriotism and self-denial.
He would be asked to name a minister
of foreign relations, a post now
vacant, so that through the constitutional
process a successor, the minister
would succeed him as provisional
President.
RIRTH STRIKE FOR PRl'SSIA.

Rights of Citizenship are Accorded.
Berlin. July 27.?A "birth strike"
as a means of bringing about electoral
reforms in Prussia is reported
to be under discussion by a social
gathering which heard the idea recently
advanced by a speaker.
The father of the idea was Dr. Alfred
Bernstein, who declared that

"We will bring no children Into

ESDAY, JULY 29,1913.
DRASTIC DEMANDS MADE
MUST KKI.EASK AMERICANS.
Calls For the Arrest, Court Martial
and Punishment of Mexican
Federal Soldiers.
Washington, July 28.?Strong
; representations, the most drastic in
! phraseology that have been made
since the present American administration
came into power, were made
to the Huerta government in Mexico
1 yesterday.
| The United States government demanded
not only the prompt arrest,
court martial and punishment of the
Mexican federal soldiers who shot
Charles B. Dixon, an American im- ,
migration official, at Juarez, Mexico, 1
but the immediate release of Charles
Bissell and Bernard McDonald, mining
managers, imprisoned by federal
soldiers at Chihuahua City and said
to be threatened with execution. So
serious were tnese incidents regarded
in official circles that they overshadJ
owed largely the theoretical considerations
of policy which the visit of
Ambassador Henr; Lane Wilson has
brought to a climax. The ambassador
himself has been so exercised
over the developments In Mexico
that he dictated two strong tele-t
grams, one to the embassy at Mexico
City and the other to the American
consul at Juarez and while Secretary
Bryan slightly modified their tone,
they were approved and promptly
dispatched.
Ambassador Wilson declined to
discuss the affair but he will probably
explain his views on such happenings
when he meets President
Wilson at 2: JO o'clock this afternoon
for a general examination of conditions
in Mexico. The President had
Ambassador Wilson's long report in
hand yesterday, studied it carefully
and after an early conference today
with Secretary Bryan will be prepared
to inquire of the ambassador
what remedies he would suggest.
In the meantime the ambassador
would give no inkling of the recommendations
he has in mind beyond
me general statement that Ills plan
would conserve the friendly relations
between Mexico and the United
States and protect likewise the interests
of American citizens in the
Southern republic.
1 The ambassador's long experience
with outbursts against American
citizens, such as those against which
the American government yesterday
lodged a protest, will make him an
important factor in whatever policy
is adopted toward the Huerta government
on account of Saturday's development
at Juarez and Chihuahua.
The demand that the soldiers at
Juarez be court martialed and that
the guilty be punished is a much
more pointed request than has hitherto
been voiced by the American
government. Although McDonald,
Blssell's fellow prisoner at Chihuahua.
is reported to be an English
subject, the demands for protection
covered both individuals and
I the American consul at Chihuahua
was ordered to prevent harm from
befalling the two mining men.
Secretary Bryan was at the state
department for a short time yesterday
conferring with subordinate
officials in the Latin-American division.
He stated later that the telegrams
ordering an investigation :
constituted the only action that
would he taken for the present but
that the American government intended
to pursue its inquiries vigorously.

interests.

Juarez Saturday by Mexican soldiers, <
was released from the Juarez hos- I
pltal and brought to El Paso yesterday
after American Consul Edwards (

and for the arrest of the men who 1

state of Chihuahua, also interceded t
for the release of Dixon, after con- i

been produced in Washington by the 1
news of the shooting of the inspector.
c
The demand of Consul Edwards I
was in vigorous language. First tell- e
ing the Mexican authorities that \
Dixon must be delivered up to his s
friends and permitted to be brought t
to B1 Paso without delay, the consul c
said relative to reparation: t
'I do not merely request the ar- 1
rest of these men, but in the name of f
the United States government, which
I have the honor to represent, I demand
their arrest and their trial and
punishment for this crime. My gov- ;
eminent will hold the milttarv on. .
thorities of Juarez personally respon- j
sible for failure to obey this com- ,
mand."
Arthur Walker, the negro whom ,
Dixon was investigating when he was j
arrested, and the soldiers who made I
the arrest, immediately were placed '
in jail, according to the report of 1
Colonel Castro, commanding the
Juarez garrison, to E. W. Berkshire,
supervising inspector of immigration
for the United States on the Mexican i
border.
Dixon was released to Mr. Berk- i
shire and taken to El Paso to a hospital
where his physicians believe he ,
will recover.
Mr. Berkshire said last night that
he made no demands upon the Mex- i
cian officials but had reported to his
superior the facts concerning the
arrest of himself and Inspector
Clarence Gatley, when they went to
juarez Saturday following the shooting
of Dixon.
Mr. Berkshire said that from what
he had learned the negro Walker,
when he learned that Dixon was in
Juarez investigating a white slave
ease in which Walker had been implicated.
informed the Mexican officials
that Dixon was there with a
bottle of chloroform ready to chloroform
and kidnap him.
It is said the negro then bought
drinks for the soldiers who were to
make the arrest.
When the Mexican soldiers had apprehended
Dixon, they marched him
to the suburbs of the city instead of
to the military barracks or city hall.
This, according to Dixon's statement,
reiterated last night, led him to suspect
that he was going to he executed.
As a matter of self-preservation,
he declared, he fled and became the
target of many bullets, only one of
which took effect, striking him in
the back and penetrating the body.
Another bullet struck his shoe.
Wounded, he was taken to the
Juarez hospital by his captors, and
there.'under a military guard of three
soldiers, he was kept Saturday after
noon until late yesterday, when he
was removed to El Paso. The Mexicans
refused even to allow the bloodsoaked
clothing to be removed, although
they did permit Dr. Tappan
of the immigration office to cut the
clothing and treat the wound Saturday
afternoon.
Indignation at the Mexicans runs
high in El Paso and the treatment
accorded Dixon has strained relations
in this city between Americans
and Mexicans as has no other incident
attendant upon the present
revolution. The Mexican officials at
Juarez, both municipal and military,
however, refused to make any statement
concerning the course of action
taken by them after it became known
that Dixon had been seriously
wounded by federal soldiers. It is
persistently rumored here that Constitutionalists
under Vili will return
to Juarez immediately and force an
attack against the city for the incidental
purpose of avenging the fate
of Dixon and strengthening their
claim for recognition by the United
States.
BIG RAILROAD
STRIKE AVERTED
Eastern Roads Withdrew Their Demand
That Their Crevinnces

New York, July 27.?The Eastern
railroads yesterday withdrew their
demand that their grievances against
the employes should he considered
by the federal hoard appointed to
arbitrate the demand for better
wages and working conditions made
by conductors and trainmen.
This concession apparently removpd
the only remaining obstacle to
arbitration and avert a strike. With
this issue disposed of the railroad
managers and the labor leaders expected
to reach a speedy agreement
upon the text of the questions to be
laid before the board of arbitration.
In a statement explaining their position
the managers said they made
this concession because they felt it
was their duty to protect the traveling
public.
Representatives of both sides met
ind signed the articles of arbitration
yesterday afternoon. Cnder the

will be decided by six arbitrators,
sach side to choose two and these

Progressive WinR Cannot Aid Smoot,
Probably Will bo Unable to Support
His Wool Substitute.
Washington, July 28.?A division
in the ranks of Republican senators
over the tariff revision fight became
apparent today, when nearly a dozen.
Progressive Republicans began a.
series of conferences to perfect substitute
schedules that will be offered
to the tariff bill under the leadership
of Senators LaFollette and
Cummins.
The Progressive Republican move*
has grown out of the belief of leading
senators identified with that faction
that they would be unable to
support Senator Smoot's substitute
for the woolen tariff. The Smoot
substitute was prepared some time
ago and introduced at the time the
Democratic bill snmo hnrlr frnm
finance committee.
FOR WOOL TARIFF.
The Progressive Republicans have
practically agreed J center their
fight about the LaFc tte substitute
in the hope that thej oan carry the
rest of the Republican party with
them and possibly win some Democrats
away from President Wilson's
"free wool plan."
Progress on the tariff bill was
slow in the senate today. Prepared
speeches were mane by senators.
Townsend and Warren (Republicans!
and short assaults occurred
throughout the afternoon upon
specific items which the Republicans
held to be the radical reductions
from existing laws.
The Progressive Republican forces
so far have shown no disposition on
the floor of the senate to break with
their Republican associates, except
in a few votes where they joined the
Democrats, in spit of lower duties.
I'l A V \7?nn CCAT 1TATTV
Thp conferences which began today.
however, are expected to solidify
the Progressive element and bring
about a new alignment of the Republican
forces. Senator LaFollette's
cotton and wool substitutes
and Senator Cummins' metal substitute
were under consideration in the
conference today and probably will
be supported by the Progressives. It
is expected that a substitute sugar
tariff, similar to that which Senator
Pristow succeeded in getting through
the senate in the last session of Congress,
will have the Progressive
strength behind it.
The senate had completed the consideration
of rates on chemicals,
drugs, oils and like products today
and had gotten started in th earthenware
and glassware schedu when
adjournment came tonigt . Set
speeches are to be made during the
week by Senators Gronna and Thornton
and others, but it is expected
that the detailed consideration of
the bill will be before the senate almost
continuously from now on.

London, July 27.?The Balkair

serious fighting continues. The
Greeks refuse Bulgaria's request for
even a three days' truce and, after
heavy fighting, liave gotten through
Krefina Pass, defeating the Bulgarians
at Simekle, capturing three*

on the Bulgarian frontier. Unless
peace speedily is negotiated another
great battle is likely to occur at.
