SENTENCED TO THURK YEARS. Mn?. Pankhurst Will Retase to Kilt, and Thus Shorten Tomi. London, April 3.- Mr?. Emmeline Pankhurst, tho leader of the militant suffragettes, wa? to-day found guilty and Sentenced to throe years' ??mal servi tu do at thu Old Hailey sessions, on the charge of inciting persons to commit damage. The trial required two days. The jury added to ?ts verdict of guilty a strong recommendation for mercy, and when the judge pronounced the heavy sentence of three years, the crowd of women in the court room rose in angry protest. < Steered by Crowd. As .Mrs. Pankhurst stood up in the prisoners" enclosure her sympathiz ers cheered wildly, and then filed out of court, singing: "March On! March On," to the tune of the "Marseil laise." Mrs. Pankhurst's closing address to the jury lasted fifty minutes. She informed the courl that she did not wish to call any witnesses. In her address she frequently wandered so far from Hie matter before the court that t?o- judge censured her. Mrs. Pankhursl denied any malt clous Incitement. ".Neither I nor the other militant suffragettes are wicked or malicious." she said. "Women are not tried by their peers and these trials are nil example of wha'l women are suffering In order to obtain their rights. Personally. I have bad to surrender a large part of my Income in order to bo free to par ticipate in tho suffrage movemen! Criticises Laws. Speaking with much feeling, Mt's. Pankhurst fiercely criticised man made laws, and said that the divorce law alone was sufficient to justify a r< volution of t he women. In impassioned tones she declared: "Whatever may be my sentence, I will not submit. From the very mo ment I leave the court 1 will refuse to eat. l will come out of prison dead or alive at the earliest possible moment." Justice Lu sch, in summing up, told the jury that Mrs. Pankhurst's siieeehos were an admission that she had incited to the perpetration of Il legal acts. Mrs. Pankhurst almost broke down when the jury pronounced its verdict. leaning over the front of the prisoners' enclosure, she said: "If it is Impossible to find a dlf ff.i.rtnii , ? r? ?. ri i ~ * t T**?\n* * ' von and to the Jury that H. .:. youl d it; a* private cttUena to flo what von can lo put ?n end to ibis sfrtte nf imus ut Suicide, She then repeated her determina tion to end her sentence as soon as possible, saying: "I don't want *o commit suicide. Life is very dear to all of us. Hut I want to see the women of this coun try enfranchised. I want t^> live un til that has boen done. 1 will take the desperate remedy other women have taken and 1 will kee]) it up as long as 1 have an ounce of strength. "1 deliberately broke the law. not hysterically and not emotionally, but fora set and serious purpose. 1 hon estly believe this is the only way. "This movement will go on whe ther 1 liv*? or die. These women will go on until women have obtained the .common rights ?if citizenship 'throughout the civilized world." Justice Lusch said: "1 must pass a severe sentence on you if you would only realize the wrong you are doing and use your influence In tho right direction. 1 would he the first to use my best en deavorg to secure a remittance of your sentence. 1 cannot and will not regard your crime as trivial. It is a mos; serious one." Dropped lin by on Track. Yorkville, April _'.

Chicago, April 2. - Democrats swept the city in yesterday's munici pal election, returning 22 aldermen, the Superior Court Judge, city clerk and city treasurer. The proposed bond issue of $2,880,000, urged by the Hearst-Harrison factions of the Democratic party, carried by a small margin. Republicans elected eleven alder men. Progressives 3, Independents 1.

The Socialist vote was consistently scattered through all the wards, and was not far below the Progressive total. Alderman Michael Kenna, known as "Hinky Dink," was returned, as usual by an impressive total, getting 4,358 votes to the Progressives 711 and the Socialists 201. He had no Re pub linen opposition.
