INTERFERING WITH SUFFRAGETTES. sir Francis Vane, Veteran of Boer War, at Head or Organization? Miss Pankhurst Plays Trick on Po. lice and Makes Speech at Bath*. London, Nov. 5.?By a clever strate gem which oompeltely hoodwinked the large force of police sent to pre vent her from speaking, Miss Sylvia Pankhurst tonight was enabled to an? nounce at the BOW Paths, in the East End of London, the formation of a volunteer corps organized under com mad Of Capt Sir Francis Vane, ;< vet? eran of the South African 1 ocr war, for the protection of militant suffra? gettes and labor unionists. Miss Seelio Emerson of Jackson, Mich., presided over the gathering. Just as the meeting was called to or-, der the statement was made that the residence of George Lansbury, former Socialist member of parliament and a warm supporter of the militant suffra? gettes, was surrounded by police. The crowd rushed from the Baths and found a largo number Of foot and mounted police around Lansbury's house with a toxicab In fron: of the entrance, Mr. Lansbury arrived on the scene and was uproariously greeted as he entered his home. The lights in the house were ex? tinguished and suddenly a woman rushed from the doorway and sprang into the taxi, which, surrounded by mounted police, proceeded to liethnal Green. Then Miss Daisy Lansbury, daughter of the ex-Socialist member, stepped out, much to the discomfiture I Of the police. Meantime Miss Pankhurst entered the Baths practically unobserved. The | only disorder was caused by an at- i i tack by the women on a few reporters whom they suspected of being detec? tives. Mr. Lansbury and Sir France Vane followed Miss Pankhurst to the platform. The Peer veteran an? nounced that he proposed to establish a labor training corps. Waving aloft a huge knotted club Sir Francis said j he was prepared to use that weapon wherever he saw women injured and in labor disputes, or wherever the op? pressed needed it. The general staff of the organiza? tion will be drawn from officers whd have seen war and both men and wo? men are eligible for the ranks. Miss Pankhurst said the plan was based on the Ulster model and she expected the same immunity from government in? terference as Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster leader, enjoyed. When Miss Pankhurst left the meet? ing she was surrounded by a body* guard of East Enders nnd made her escape, after a lively battle with the police, who drew their clubs. The crowd retaliated with sticks and the i result was that several of the belli- , gerenti were injured, among them Miss Emerson, who was knocked down and bruised about the head, she, too, escaped arrest, being carried away by sympathisers.

Del RlO, Texas, Nov. 2.?Women of Mexico are playing a prominent pail In the warfare of the southern repub? lic, either as "soldaderas," foraging successfully for their men, or occa? sionally as actual fighters. This probably is true because the present revolution has touched indi? viduals and the homes more intimate? ly than any other conflict of recent times. Nearly every woman in North? ern Mexico has seen warfare shorn of Its theatricality because it enterec the home and left death and want. In the siege now in progress at Monterey a valued member of Gen. Paulo Gonzales' constitutionalist com? mand is Benoiita Maria Sanchez, said to be a wealthy Castillian, whose j brother was shot by Federal regulars. ! She gave up the comforts of a luxuri? ous home and begged for permission to replace her brother. A few months ago at Monclova, a son of Benora Plmental, of that city, had been senten d to be shot. The mother got into the Federal jail b> stealth and Stabbed two of the guards and rescued her son. In the Feedral ranks there is told the story of the wife of an officer who led the Constitutionalists into an ambuscade at Puerta Carmen, and, though fired upon by the maddened troops, galloped through the lines to her husband's side. When less than a month ago the Federal army of Gen, Maas occupied the Constitutionalists' provisional cap? ital at Piedras Ncgras, on the Ameri? can across from Ivigle Pass the "sol? daderas" played an Important role In the bloodless capture. A small group of them pitched their tents on the overlooking hills two days before tholi nun arrived, acting as lookouts. When the army arrived, fully COO of thest soldier women accompanied it, most of them guarding the wagon trains Which their skill as foragers bad .-luffed to bursting. A few hours alter the City was occupied, the wo. men spread supper for the entire army In the open plaza. It is said a demand for food is never refused these soldaderas. The) are expert with both knife and rifle and not slow to employ threats of death to get what they want. One of the famous women fighter:;' is Mrs. AlonSO Alanls, who recently surrendered to the Huerta garrison in! Juarez and was pardoned by the gov? ernment. She developed as a b ade, during the revolt against Madero. One night at the Insul of a picked band, she rode into Juarez, held Up the po? lice station, took all available arms and escaped to the hills. She re? mained at tit" head of her troops sev? eral months. Sah sday Business.
