THE SUGDEN OUTBREAK OF THE SUFFRAGETTES CAME AS A SURPRISE, Windows of the Fashionable Des partmental Stores Were Shattered by Stones and Bricks Hurled by the Rowdy Female Mob. London, Eng., March 2. London inst, evening had another taste ot determination of the sufiragettes to force matters owing to the govern- ment's refusal to bring the woman sufivage bill in parliament. Fhe wo- men held a mass meeting at head- quarters and then descended to the fashionable west end where they pro. ceeded to break the windows of large department stores, 'The police were taken completely unawares by the onslaught of the women and before they . were able to muster their lorces and restrain them the streets were covered with shattered plate glass that had been the show wine dows of stores.

"Until we haye a part in making the laws," she said, "we shall con- tinue to break them." The magistrates said such deter: mined outrages to law and order shust be severely punished, and imposed the sentences as above, The court audience was compospd largely of tradesmen, whose property was destroyed in the suffragettes' sex- pedition. The sentences were vigor ously applauded till the bffidials stop- ped the demonstration. Everywhere there is a great eon- demnation of Mrs. Punkhurst's latest effort.

Claim Mother Has Baby Sleep in Bureau Drawer. Kansas City, March 2.--Little Mar garet Gildea is three months old and weighs less than she did when she first opened her little Blue eves in this world of trouble. However, that is hardly her fault, for doetors told the jivenile court yesterday that chil dren occasionally decreased in weight for a few months after birth, though that is not normal. The charge against little Margaret was that she was being reared "in a bureau drawer," and she looked small enough to play the part. But Mrs, J. Gildea, No. 817 East Eighth street, the baby's foster mother, said the baby really slept on a pillow on a chair, "I adopted her from a home near Fairmount park," said Mrs. Gildea, who had no papers .to show for such action. She 'said she had them at home and was told to produce the documents.

When thé grain bill was reached, Sir Wilfrid announced that several amendments would be sul mitted, each requiring a division, and the government abandoned ite efforts to get the measure through yester- day. The voling . was of unusual signifi' cance. Both Premier Borden and Hon. Mr. Cochrane declared it was. policy of the government to divide the road grants among the provinees accord- ing to population, but voted against the resolution of the liberal leader embodying their promise to the house. Mr. Macdonald, following Sir Wil frid's protest of Thursday, took issue by a resolution against the proposal to leave the minister tg spend all the highway grants on his, own initative on the ground that it laid the admin- istration of the subsidies open to grave constitutiofal and ' political abuses. 70 DIVIDE THE GRANTS ACCORDING TO POPULATION OF THE PROVINCES, But Premier Borden and Mr. €och- rane Voted to Allow the Minister to Spend the Money as he Wished.
