PANK HUH ST TELLS NEW YOKKKKK OF CAUSE OF M1LITANTISM. In Her First Speech in Nation's Me tinpoiis English Suffragette LeaderI DefeiuLs Methode of Women in Their Fight for Ballot, Indicating Why thin Ifl Necessary. New York, Oct. 21.?Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, addressing tonight in Madison Square Garden her first American mass meeting, explained why militant methods for the cause of woman suffrage are followed in England hut not in America and de? fended the employment of such meth? ods. She criticised the British gov? ernment as the most conservative on earth and held it responsible, through failure to enact legislation desired by women, for advocates of suffrage re? sorting to violence to obtain it. Only through dynamite methods, she de? clared, could English women hope to secure laws dealing with white slav? ery, industrial evils and oiher condi? tions affecting women. Preparations had been made for an overtlow meeting at Madison Square Garden but the big hall, with a seat? ing ca ncity of cbout 12,000 persons, was scarcely one-quarter tilled. This was attributed by the suffragists to the uncertainty that existed almost until the eleventh hour as to whether the Immigration authorities would allow Mrs. Pankhurst to land. Some leading suffragists of this country and a few "hunger strikers" j from Kngland sat with Mrs. Pank I hurst on a stage draped with a tri colored Hag bearing the inscription "Resistance to Tyranny in Obedience to God." Wearing small steel bar badges sig? nifying that their militancy hud re? sulted in jail terms, were Miss Elsie McKenzie and Miss Mary Keegun, English girls who have come here to accept business opportunities, and Mis.s Lucy Hums and Miss Elisabeth Freeman, American girls who went to England to light for "the cause." Mrs. O. H. P. Belmonti Miss Lavinia Dock, MISS Sybil Wilbur, Miss Al? berta Hill, Miss Fola La Foliette, Miss Ida Craft and other American suffra? gist leaders sat With them. Mrs. Pankhurst was introduced by Charles Edward Russell, Socialist candidate for mayor. The audience, the majority women, made a demon? stration lasting tWO minutes when the English militant leader tried to speak. Women stood on chairs and frani ieall> waved handkerchiefs and yellow Hags. Mrs. Pankhurst closed her eyes and waited for the enthusiasm to die away. Her experiences with the immigra? tion authorities. Mrs. Pankhurst I spoke of with praise, declaring the work at Kllis Island admirably done ami the immigrants cared for there far la tter than arc the poor, alien and native in Great Britain, "I have been accustomed to plead? ing my own case In Bngland," she said. "I wanted to to Washington an I plead by own case there. 1 want to thank those who pleaded for me there, and thank the American pub? lic. I do not thank the Washington authorities and i do not think Presi? dent Wilson wants to i?e thanked, He would say i did my duty.' " "l congratulate the American peo? ple who base ofticials In high places who perform their duties as they see I hem." Women tried persuasion and argu? ment in Kngland, peaceful nieuna Hint have been effective here, Mrs. Pank hurst said. These failing, violence be? came necessary. "Nothing was ever got from an English parliament ex? cept through violence," she said. "The machinery of the British government is an elaborate arrangement of how not to do anything. Whatever social legislation has been secured has been due to 'women's civil war' and much of it was granted to soften the spirit of the suffragettes." The old age pension law, she de? clared, was granted to save Winston Churchill his cabinet seat. Mention of Churchill, ASQUlth and Lloyd- ' George evoked hissing. By nature law-abiding noting vio? lence and disorder, Mrs. Pankhurst said she had from the beginning felt absolutely guiltless, for she believed there was no other way to secure wo? men's rights. "The women who have drawn the prises in life's lucky bag are the ones who are waging this war," she said, "the women with good fathers, good husbands, good broth? ers, and who are engaged in useful industries. They are lighting for the women of all classes." Mrs. Pankhurst discussed equal suffrage and white slavery. White slavery she characterized as "more awful than negro slavery in its worst form ever was in the United States. In this slavery are slaves of every color, and they are all of one sex." She crit? icised Engalnd's Hogging act. provid? ing punishment for white slave agents. "Why don't they go to the seat of the evil?" she said. "Why don't they punish the customers? With no de? mand there will be no traffic. Give the women tiie opportunity to frame the legislation and there will be no white slavery. The government of the coun? try is the biggest white slave firm we have." Mrs. Pankhurst replied to American critics who have said she came on a money-making mission. Benjamin Franklin went to France for aid for the American revolution, she said, and "Irish law breakers came here to gather money to carry on their cam? paigns" and Americans responded. She continued: 'Why should I not come to ask help? What helps wo? men In England will help women all over the world." WAS PICKED UP AT SKA. Six Shipwrecked Mariners Taken to New York.

Jurist Points Out That Former Populist Leader May Be Haled to Court Again. Augusta, Ga., Oct. 21.?Holdirg that the indictment charging Thomas E. Watson, historian, editor and former presidential candidate, with sending obscene matter through the mails, was illegal, Federal Judge Ruf us E. Fos? ter today ordered the case thrown out of court. In sustaining the motion of the de? fense, made yesterday, asking that the indictment be quashed, Judge Foster brought the trial to an abrupt and un? expected close. The largest audience ever assembled in the federal court room here attended today's session, and when tho judge announced his ruling dismissing the charges against the Georgia editor, the spectators i broke into thunderous cheers. Judge '. Foster paid no attention to this demonstration, which quickly subsid? ed. It was solely upon the contention raised by Mr. Watson himself that under the federal statute the entire , alleged obscene article, and not por? tions of it, must be included in the in ] dictment, that the court ordered the case dismissed. Extended argument upon the motion had been made by S. G. MeLendon, Mr. Watson's principal attorney, and at the close of this the defendant asked permission to pre? sent what he described as "other phases" of the matter. This being granted, Mr. Wataon addressed the court briefly, laying stress upon his claim that the indict? ment should not select certain pas? sages of the article written by him, but should include the entire matter. He said that unless this were true, it would be possible to indict persona mailing copies of the Bible or the criminal code of Georgia. SCHOOL SAID TO BE A NUISANCE.
