INDIGNATION AGAINST SUFFRAGETTES.
MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN DISFIGURED.
[UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT) LONDON, Sept. 8.
There is much indignation against the suffragettes on account of a memorial fountain on the roadside at Ballater, Braemar, being daubed with paint. Indignation with Ministers is stipposed to be responsible for the present action. Several suffragettes recently visited Aberdeen, intent on heckling Mr Churchill. They intended to mob the Premier at Craithie Church to-day, but Mr Asquith had left Balmoral. Many local and Scotland Yard police had surrounded Balmoral. It- is presumed the women hid in the shrubberies till night. The suffragettes, evading the police guards at Balmoral Castle grounds, removed the hole flags from the golf course, and substituted others bearinscriptions against forcible feeding. They painted an inscription on the memorial fountain.
