THE FUSE THAT FAILED.
SENSELESS SUFFR AGETTES. BOMB TO WRECK WATERWORKS TREMENDOUS DAMAGE SAVED. Electric Telegraph—Press Association Copyright. (Received this day at 8.10 a.m.) London, This Day. The suffragettes placed a gun-pow-der Iminb in the valve-house, of the Dewsbury reservoirs at Penistone. The fuse just failed, but if it had exploded the damage would have been tremendous, as it would have been impassible to stop the flow of the water. ANOTHER PICTURE SLASHED. ELDERLY WOMAN DOES TT. London, Last Night. An elderly suffragette with a chopper, slashed in three places Sargent’s portrait of Henry James, one of the most notable pictures in the Rove 1 Academy. The damage is estimated at £2OO. Mary Wood, the perpetrator, has been committed for trial.
