LONDON. March 5.-One million dc
.voted women, firm In tho belief Hint
they have been refused rights guar
anteed them months ngo by Premier
.Asqutth and tho prcsont British govern
ment, and stung to anger 'by tho calm
refusal of Aauultli and his colleagues
to grant them n hearing, have brought
about a situation that today threatens
to overshadow the great labor troubles.
Tho demonstrations of the women ad
vocates of equal suffrago have reach
ed a point where tho pollco can no
longer nrcvont or control them. Vio
lence, of a typo peculiarly aggravating,
has been ordered by tho lenders., and
wholesale, arrests. Instead of checking
It, have merely enhanced tho determi
nation of tho women.
There Is grave danger today that the
outcomo will bo bloodshed. H is known
that JIrs Kmmcllno Pankhurst and
other leaders of ultra militant body
hope this will come. As sho was led
away to her cell last week Mrs Pank
hurst declared tho cuuso would hao
been advanced ten years had she been
killed. '
Willing to Be Martyrs.
"It will take martyrs to stir the coun
try to a .realization of our bitter de
termination," she cried nt the meet
ing that preceded tho demonstration
that began the present light. And that
is tho spirit of tho women who today
shouted from tho street cornel's that
tho government must yield.
Mounted nnd foot police alike weio
defied by the women today. Thev i e
f used to move on, and when the officers
Bhoved their hoi&os agulnst tljem they
tried to drag the uniformed men to tho
street. Tho foot policemen were bait
ed with a dctel initiation that pioved
nerve iiifllliig in tho extreme.
The women want' to be ai rested.
They are vol y stiong, and their pres
ent hope now is that the Jails will lie
filled until there will be no place to
e online them. The police and magis
trates know thK Hut they also realize
that as fast .is a woman arrested for
rioting is turned loose she aims her
self witli a hntnmer and goes buck to
break more windows, to thiow stones,
and to bombard the opposition with
arguments to the cause.
"Wo will be militant until we gain
our rights." sav the leaders. -,If our
methods are not strong enough, there
nre others In reserve " And tho wom
en who utter these sentiments are not
the rabble of the Kast Knd. They aio
tho rcpresentatie women of Riltalu.
Mrs. Frederick Pethlck Lawrence,
highly educated, a powerful platform
speaker, and an editor of note, made
this plain today.
"We will terrorize tills country, or
we will get our rights," she cried, and
an audience of gentlewomen, refined
nnd most of them wealthy in their own
right, cheered her statements to the
echo.
Would Burn Palace.
"It ac.have to...a.ewilL,biira dawn
the roy.il pnlaco Itself," declared Mrt.
Lawrence again, .and that Incendiary
sentiment likewise received a eheeilng
welcome from the women listeners.
Today Bow street police court was
.lammed v. lth the women arrested in
last night's demonsttation. Most of
them were liound over for hearings
later. Two, Victoria Simmons and Lil
lian Hall, noted leaders, weie sentenced
to two months' impilsonment at hard
labor.
They dramatically faced the magis
trate and warned him that their sen
tenco simply meant further and moio
aeere demonstrations. Defiance was in
their every utterance, and as tliey wero
led away, still shrieking for the "cause,"
their sisters in misery cheered them
loudly.
The city looks as If it were In n state
of siege. N'eaily everv big stoie win
dow is boarded up. The banks main
tain special guards outside to keep the
women away. Tho entire metropolitan
police Is on continuous dutj. Everyone
Is kept moving, and women suspected
of planning violence are hustled Into
vehiples and rushed to police stations to
be searched.
Urges Prison Terms.
The Times today demands that all of
the leaders of the suffragettes be prose
cuted on chaigcs of conspiracy to break
the law. This Is a felony punishable by
sentences up to seven ycarr.
Tho government hesitates to act thus
severely, although the demand Is joint d
In by the shopkeepers whose property
has been destioyed. The women liopo
this action will be taken. If It Is, they
say, they a-e sure to win, as they insist
Englishmen will never consent to their
Wives and daughters being made felons
because they demand the rights foi
which their forefathers fought.

The formation of the Automobile
Trade Association of Washington will
be tho object of a meeting to be held
this afternoon In room KOt, Colorado
building. It Is expected tho entire nu
tomobllo and accessory trade of tho
city will bo represented. The main ob
jects of the pioposed association nie to
encourago tho trade In general nhd to
promote closer and moro friendly re
lations among tho dealers.
Automobile trade . associations have
been formed In' many cities throughout
tho countiy and have done much to
impioo conditions in tho trade, par
tlculnil.v ns regards the ti ailing In of
second-hand machines. This Is one of
the big problems confronting tho deal
ers here, nnd It Is believed it can bo
worked out to the satisfaction of nil
concerned through tho proposed asso
ciation. Tho meeting will bo called to order
nt 'J o'clock, and If n sufficient number
of dealers answer the cnll a set of
officers will be elected nnd a constitu
tion and by-laws adopted.
A C5. Hatchelder, chalrmnn of. tho
executive committee of the -Amnrlcnn
Automobile Association, arrived from
New York today to attend the hearing
before tho House Committee on the Li
brary on the norland bill to build a
ijlncoln Memorial highway from this
city to Gettysburg.
The Ttulck plant has long had Uie iepti
tatlon of being one of the largest and
most complete automobile factories In
the world, and the scale on which they
have recently been doing business, only
serves to drive this fact home. A start
on a remarkable sales record was made
on January 3, when a telegraphic nrclur
was received by tho Iliilclc agent In
San Francisco for a fifty car-load ship
ment of Hoicks. Tills vas followed ten
da later by an order from tho Minne
apolis agent for 547 machines, which
required four separate train-load ship
ments to convo. These shipments are
said to bo the iccord shipments In the
automobile Industry.
