THE SUFFRAGETTES.
By Electric Telegtaph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON, June 2.
Three young Suffragettes chained themselves to the main gates of Buckingham Palace. The chains were severed by the police, and the women arrested.
Received 10.55 p.m. LONDON, June 2.
Mrs Mansell denounced society leaders entertaining Cabinet Ministers, stating that women harbouring them would be treated by the Suffragettes as traitors to their sex.
Throe men were charged with attempting to duck Suffragettes in a pond. The Magistrate discharged them with a caution without hearing the defence, remarking that it was impossible to shut his eyes to the Suffragettes' behaviour, which had created strong resentment and disgust. During the hearing of the Maidavale case Rose Nellie Hall continuously interrupted. Hall warned the Magistrate that a house would be burnt. The police produced a letter purporting to be signed by a wellknown Suffragette wherein it was stated that a lady's secretary had planned to burn her mistress's house in revenge for non-militancy. The house subsequently was burned. The burning of Wargrave Church has aroused intense indignation. Three exploded bombs were discovered in the ruins.
