The others were remanded and will be arraigned at a future date. "Votes for women," Votes for wo men," was the cry of the two women as they were led back to their cells. The cry was taken up by the other suffragettes and for a time pandemonium reigned in the court room. The magistrate was unable to make him self heard and the bailiffs tried with desperate earnestness to quiet the suffargettes, but failed. Order Was Restored. Finally the court was able to restore order and the cases were continued as hastily as possible. While the charge was wilful damage, the damage really done was only a fraction of what the women had planned. The thousand police guarding the premier and the hall held them in check. The tarpaulins stretched above the hall warded off the bricks from the skyJ lights and the temporary barricades built in the street held back the fly ing wedge of women who tried to enter the hall by force.

Insects Are Also Absent From The Railroads and From The Farms, the Speaker Tells Public.

ON THRESHOLD OF GREAT PROSPERITY States He Is For Conservation Of the Farms, the Merchant Marine and for Federal Inspection. (American News Service) Chicago, Sept 18. "There are no flies on the railroads, no flies on the farms and no flies on the United States, contrary to the belief of some." Uncle Joe Cannon gave utterance to this statement today in proclaiming his opinion that the country was on the threshold of great prosperity. The speaker continued: f What Cannon Is For. "I am for conservation of the farms, for the merchant marine, for federal inspection of anything that makes for the beat results and am for Mr. Patten's high priced wheat If It is for the best allaround. We should now go to the aid of the merchant marine in order to compete with foreign powers. I am not for a repeal of our coastwise laws. They are good enough and the revenue therefrom helps to keep alive our shipyards. ; "We should have a better method of revenue productions. We have great co.lleges, but we want more education of the expert variety. . I am" not afraid of the country going to the bow wows. , Conservation of the farm land is wanted and I put it into the hands of others than college graduates who don't know what a hoe handle is, how to turn a furrow or to handle a plow. The man who knows how is the man we want to conserve., The Interstate Commerce commission Is doing fairly good work, but it took them a long time to get started right. They will help, but at first it was like the doctor who would bleed you, physic you and not allow you to eat, with the result that you would almost die." , COUNTY BOARD MET Commissioners Awarded In firmary Contracts for Quarter.
