sumaulted br suffragettes In the precincts
of th Hons of Common today and was
saved rough handling only by the prompt
arrival of a strong body of police.
Premier - Asqulth had previously an
nounced !n the House of Cmnmons that
If he mi atni in power at the next ees

woman's franchise bill so framed as to
admit of free amendment.
Hlnoa the reopening of Parliament dele
gates of militant suffragettes have picketed
ths approaches to the lower hoUHe so
closely that the premier has been obliged
to resort to strange devices to circumvent
the petitioners.
' It seams ths premier's promise made in
,' the Hours of Commons today Instead' of
placating, only inflamed the women.
At a meeting at Caxton hall, Mies Clirts
'. label Psnkhtirst characterised the min
ister's statement as "wholly unsatisfactory
and nothing more nor lees than an Insult
to the caue."
The women, he shouted, considered the
premier's attitude a declaration of war
and the wquM answer the challenge im
mediately. Mlaa Williams Strikes Premier.
With a rush the women left the hall and
ssvoral hundred strong, started for Down
ing street. Thy encountered Mr. Asqulth
en route and before ths premier realised tha
situation, he was surrounded by Irate suf
fragettes. It was not long before he
recognised that he was 'in a hostile camp,
for without any preliminaries. Miss Hen
rietta Williams struck .the government j
leader, at the same time ejaculating:
"Toil tax women as heavily as men, yet
women are not represented In Parliament."
, Shrill police whistles brought officers
from all nearby quarters, and as ths
women struggled among themselves for the
privilege of getting at Mm. the premier was
hustled Into a. tuxicab. As the car started
off ith a. tioujid. Mt, Williams made an-
other attempt to rsauirlta occupant and in
doing so put her fist through the glass of
the window. She was pulled away still
crying, "Traitor" and "Coward."- f .

trouble did not end with the escape
of Mr. Asqulth. Robbed of their special )

retire, temporarily.
Police reinforcements hurried to the scene
and checked the advance.
Women and their male sympathisers were
hurled to the ground. In many Instances
the officers literally dragged the women
out of the fighting son and thus saved
them from being trampled to death by the
mob behind.
Is. waa some time before the police suc
ceeded In clearing Downing street. A litter
of millinery,, bits of costumes, . handbags
and torn banners gave evidence of the
fierceness with which tbs field had been

From ths time that his wife. Belle Kl- i

No other murder case ot recent years has
taken such a hold on the feelings of all

Miss I.eneve, at the request of the priso

Pentonvllle prison this afternoon. She
reached the place in a closed can and was
accompanied by an elderly man, who re
mained outside.
Miss leneve remained for a half hour In

Crippen slept well lust night and this
morning ate a hearty breakfast.
One of the evening newspapers repub

Crippen had confessed and that he hud
written a story of the crime replete with
cold and callous details. Scotland Tard

says that so far as he Is aware the re

WASHINGTON, Nov. Zi Testimony in
stigated by George W. 1'erklns of J. P.
Morgan & Co., the New York syndicate
that Is taid to finance and control many
railroads of the country, analytic excoria
tion of crude manual and mechanical
methods of railroal and a drifting dis
cussion ot scientific principles of business
featured today s freight rate increase hear
ing. It was the second i.uy of the pre
sentation of the shippers' argument be
fore tho Interstate. Coimneice commission
on the suspension of proposed advances in
the tariffs on a great quantity of tho
traffic moving over the entire official
classification territory. The railroads
would like to put Into operation advances
In rates on freight the country over, and
In lino with this view It was suggested
that part of the policy waa to commit tho
shipping Interests to testimony that there
would be no complaint If the advances
were made uniformly throughout tho
I'nllod biates. The trunk line presidents
have claimed that the Increases are vital
to their corpoialions.
Fnrnltnre Men Appear.
A delegation of officials from the Grand
Rapids furniture Industries In Michigan
appeared at the hearinf. While voicing op
position to the present eastern trunk line
advance they . testified that they would
have no complaint to make If the increases
proposed were not confined to one section
or otherwise discriminative.
Then through the prodding of Attorney
Lyon of the commission. It was disclosed
and admitted by two of the men called by
the shippers, that ths appearance of them
selves aitd the other Grand Rapids people
representing many millions of dollars of
Investments was at the suggestion of the
heads of the Morgan syndicate, who thought
that as a matter of "fairness" the ship
pers should express their views.
The testimony failed to show any sug
gestion from Mr. . Perkins ' that ths con
sumers also should present their views,
rnough'ft ' was- lPtlrhAtW 'mat if tbs rail
roads and the shippers agreed as to the
sweeping Increases in freights of several
thousand kinds across the continent with'
an aggregate addition of almost fabulous
millions of dollars to the railroad earnings,
the burden would rest upon the consum
ers. President Henry M. Towns, a manufac
turer and head of the Merchants' associa
tion of New York, contended tho railroads
should first put their own house In order,
as he expressed It, that they should In
stall modern methods of business which
were Just as feasible with them as with
other industries and that It scientific man
agement could not produce economies to
meet the revenue needs, then he would
Join- with them In their demand for rate
increases. He depicted in glowing terms
the big business strides under scientific
management.
Henry Van Riper Bcheel, engaged In the
manufacture of cotton In Passaic, N. J.,
tehtlfled concerning the workings of that
system, and told of the bonus scheme at
his plant, whereby the weavers, with a
mtmlmum bonus alon, might attain a
weekly wage of SU.SO. The shippers' tes
timony will be continued tomorrow. The
commission la anxious to expedite the tes
timony. Commlsaloner Prouty advised coun
sel today that the shippers have made out
their case, so far as the workings of the
scientific system in the plants described
was ooncerned, and that It was perfectly
evident that a system that worked out so
well In one plant might be worked out sim
ilarly In other plants. Attorney Brandels,
for the Atlantic seaboard shippers, Intended
to Introduce General Crosier of the army
and a navy expert and other witnesses
along this line, but agreed to consolidate
the testimony.
Attorney Walter 1. Fisher, representing
the National Wholesale Dry Goods associa
tion, tha Western Association of Shoe
Wholesalers and other Industries, an
nounced that he would produce one witness,
a Mr. Titteman, a veteran railroad official.
Mr. Tlttelman is expected to give evidence
to combat the contentions of Vice President
Thayer of ths Pennsylvania railroad that
the Increases were really an adjustment ot
olass rates as between themselves and as
between ths commodities and ths olass
rates, ths commodity rate having been In
creased heretofore and the class rate not
having been Increased.

p. m. Tuesday.
After a secret conference with Kemmer

Attorney English, Judge Redlck came from
his private chamber, ordered Sheriff
Brailey to return the capiat for Kemmer
ling's arrest without service, and announced
to the newapaper men that Kemmerlng had
made 'o the court a statement that led the
court to take no action stains him at his
time.
During the conference C. A. Gotss, former

Immediately after the close of the court's

court on advice of Mr. Ritchie, whom he
had called upon shortly after noon. He told
Mr. Kelby that ha was Kemmerllng and
said he wanted to give himself up. Mr.

the two went Into Judge Redlck'a chamber
to meet him.
Bherlff Rrailey and several deputies were
summoned to ths court room and waited
there . while the conference proceeded.
County Attorney English was summoned to
the private Judicial chamber.
At the close of the conference Judge

The court then said to the newspaper
