SUFFRAGETTES CHARGE BRITISH PARLIAMENT Determined Women Try to Break Through Police Lines and 150 Arrested American Bluejackets Cheer the Combatants and Incite . Fresh Efforts LONDON". Nov. IR._ The militant suf frapett*»s reopened hostilities against the government agrain toJay. and marching- 1,000 strong on the parlia ment buildings gave the police a lively fight. The women, many of whom •were placed under arrest, were led by Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst. The suf fragettes had determined, if possible. to force the police cordon about the house of lords and reaching Premier Asquith to insist on the introduction of a woman's puffrage bill. Ji'hc police, however, were too strongly entrenched and the women, who tried every means in their power to force the line, were thrown back. AMERICAN' TARS CHEER Repeatedly they rptirej breathless and disheveled, only to have their place on the lighting line taken by reserves. The police were ordered to make as few arrests as possible, but by 3 o'clock 21 women and two men were In police cells. A large con tingent of Am^ric^n bluejackets from the visiting fleet were amused spec tators of the struggle, and lustily cheering the combatants incited them to fresh efforts. The fight continued and the police were, compelled to make wholesale ar rests. At 4 o'clock S2 of the suffrag ettes and their supporters had been taken into ousto'Jy. tOXSTABLE WOUNDED During the battle a constable was pashed across the hand, apparently by B knife. Among the suffragettes ar iestod was Ann Martin of Nevada and Grace Johnson of Buffalo, N. Y. After b prolonged struggle the police cleared Parliament square, and three of the leadens of the demonstration, headed by Mrs. Pankhurst. were' allowed to *>nt«T tiifl lobby of the chamber, where tlT»y were informed by Asquith's secre tary Jliat the premier refused to see them and that there was no chance for a suffrage bill to be presented at the present session. Before tlie house of lords had ad .loui-JiPd today 150 suffragettes and sup porters had been jailed. After the women liad exhausted themselves the nrrests were made twith monotonous regularity. * The women were a sorrowful spec tacle when, the battle was over. The dresses of many were torn. Hats, hand bags ajid bits of feminine a.pparel' and torn banners littered the ground. ASqiJTH RETREATS . . „ It appears that Asquith had a narrow escape from the irafTT deputation which was admitted to the lobby. Mrs. Pank hurst Bnd two others were -conversing with his secretary when the premier passed through the room. The women failed to recognize the minister, who at sighfc of the suffragettes immediately sought safety in the house of lords. This evening all the suffragettes were released on bail. They will be ar raigned in the Bow street police court tomorrow morning. Miss Martin Well Known IU;XO, New. Nov.

IS. — The patron age situation arising out of the promo tion of Judge Lennon from the superior bench of Marin county to presiding jus tice of the first district court of appeal developed a new phase, today, when Judge Lennon stated that he would re main superior judge up to the last min ute. As his term as appellate justice will begin the first Monday in January, Governor Gillett may make the appoint ment early on that Monday mprning be fore Johnson becomes governor. If Judge Lennon waits until the last minute he will cease to be superior .iudge at midnight January 1. That will allow Governor Gillett ample time in which to appoint a : successor. Judge Lennon said today that the recent report that he was "scheming" to secure the appointment. of S. J. Sav age was unjust and untrue. It. is understood that those who are opposing Savage are seeking the appointment for Robert Harrison, who was interested in the prosecution of former Police Com missioner Harry P. Flannery in Marin county. There is a "dark horse" in the race whose name has not mentioned, but he has the support'of many influen tial members of the bar* in San Fran cisco and of citizens prominent in Marin county.

REBEL " Arthur J. Balfour, leader of the 'op position, attacked the program as an nounced by the premier as unprece dented and unconstitutional. The min istry, -he said, had^made up its mind that all chances, of the lords making moderate and reasonable proposals for the settlement of the question at issue between the two houses must be.avoid ed at all hazard, and so was rushing through to a dissolutl6n of parliament before it would be possible, for the Vioderates on both sides to' form a judgment. .4 George Nlcoll Barnes, a labor leader, voiced the revolt of' the laborites against the government, .who, he said, were altogether disWa'tisfled with the premier's suggestion for the payment of members of the lower house as ' a palliative" for the wrongs sustained by the trades unions through the Osborne judgment.

Those , four .; 'years : will" not expire until January B, ; i 9ll^ in many cases. As the legislature is , to meet on the second 4ay of.

As a Gillett partisan explained It'yes lerday, Gillett permitted Pardee to re main in> office, two' or three days longer than "was necessary, while the prepara tions were, being made for the Inaugu ration. Despite this courtesy, the par tisan continued, Pardee made a num ber of appointments at the last moment.

GILLETT TO AID "FAITHFUL" The tip- is out, however, that some very interesting developments may be expected in the patronage matter afc the closer, of Gillet't'&r administration.
