WOMEN STORM PARLIAMENT
t
Scenes nUprecedented In Seven Hundred Years Of His
tory Witnessed In Old London? Riot Calls Turned
In By Police And Forty-tour Arrests Made.
(United Preee Telegraph-Cable Service.)
London, Feb. 11 ? The metropolis of the world wit
nessed scenes today that are not parallelled in seven
hundred years of its history. The house of parliment was
literally stormed by women.
The uprising of the suffragists that began with the
attack upon the king andqueen while their majesties were
011 their wav in their royal carriage to open parliament did
not speud itself in that outbreak but has been followed by
several mob gatherings in the streets in the vicinity of
of parliament house. Today, however, they gathered in
numbers hitherto unprecedented and swarmed through the
parliament house in spite of all attempts to confine them to
the grounds outside. The efforts of the police had the ef
fect of precipitating a general assault, and the scenes fol
lowing will make a strange page in history.
The house of commons was the storm center and about
it thousands of women surged and screamed. The police
who attempted to make arrests were attacked and beaten.
Riot calls were sent in repeatedly and forty-four women
were arrested and placed in jail, many of them prominent
and of good families.
The streets are at this writing still filled with excited
women. That the demands of the women will be answered
by legislation making concessions to them is considered as
not likely at this session.

London, Feb, 11 ? The Palmer-Burns affair was the
veriest fiasco so far as an entertainment is concerned al
though no charge is made of faking. Palmer proved to be
not in the same class with Burns ? he does not know the B
game from the Burus stautpoint. He took the count in the f(
fourth round but was practically knocked out in the first. i?
He behaved like an old woman rather than a man and not li
at all like a prize fighter. Few bets were made on him. N
There was the promised big crowd but it went away with 11
the feeling that it had not got its noney's worth. 0
