COURT SUMS UP THE CASE
Jodie Lash Says H Cannot Regard
the Offense u Trivial, and
Must Pronounce Sentence
Accordingly.
LONDON, April 3. Mrs. Emmallne
Pankhurst. the leader of the militant suf
fragettes, was found guilty nt the Old
Bailey sessions today and sentenced to
three years penal servitude on the charge
of Inciting persons to commit damage.
The trial lasted two days. The Jury
addtd to Its verdict of guilty a strong
recommendation for mercy, and when the
judge pronounced the heavy sentence ot
three years the crowd of women In the
court room rose In angry protest.
As Mrs. Pankhurst stood up in, the
prisoners' enclosure, her sympathisers
cheered wildly and then filed out of
court' singing "March on, March on," to
the tune of '"Marseillaise."
-Mrs. PankhurBt's closing address to the
Jury lasted fifty minutes. She Informed
tlie court that she did not wish to call
any witnesses. In her address she fre
quently wandered so far from the matter
f eforo the court that the judge censured
her.
Denies AH Mnltce.
Mrs. Pankhurst denied any malicious
Incitement. "Neither I, nor .the other
militant suffragettes are wicked or ma
licious," she said.
"Women are not tried by their peers,
and these trials are an example of what
women are suffering In order to obtain
their rights. Personally I have offered
to surrender a large part of my Income
In order to be free to participate In the
suffrages movement."
Speaking with much feeling. Mrs.
Pankhurst fiercely criticised men-made
laws and cald the divorce law .alone was
sufficient to justify a revolution by the
women.
I ImUnpassloncd tones she "declared:
' "Whatever may be my sentence, I will
not submit. From the very moment I
leave the court, I will refuse to eat. I
will come out of prison dead or alive at
the earliest possible moment."
; Justice Lush, In summing up, told the
Jury that Mrs. Pankhurst's speeches were
an admission that she had Incited to the
preparation of lllogal acts.
Mrs. Pankhurst almost broke down
when the Jury pronounced Its verdtot.
Leaning over the front of the prisoners'
enclosure, she said:
"If It Is Impossible to find a different
verdict, I want to say to you and to the
Jury, that It Is your duty as private eltt
rem to do what you can to put an end
to this state of affairs,''

Bryan Asks Other
Governments to
Recognize China
WASHINGTON. April 3.-Secretary
Bryan has formally notified alt diplo
matic representatives here of the inten
tion of the United States to recognise the
new Chinese republic, on April 8, the
meeting day of the assembly, and has
formally proposed that all other govern
ments recognise the new republic In con
cert on that day.
Secretary Bryan's note was delivered to
somo of tho foreign diplomats yesterday
and to the remainder of the corps today.
Each was enjoined to secrecy that a for
mal announcement might be made from
the White House first. President Wil
son's statement is expected at any time.
Secretary Bryan's note was brief and
In substance like this:
"The president requests me to notify
you and your government, through you,
of the intention of the United States to
recognize the new republic of China on
April 8."
The note. In a brief" suggestion, asks
that all other nations do likewise on that
day.
Diplomats here regard the proposal for
a concerted recognition as an action that
will clear away any foreness that may
havo been created by what was called a
breach of diplomacy recently when tho
White House announcement regarding
the six-power loan was published here
before tho foreign governments inter
ested had been notified.

Ased Wldorr Needs Help.
A cose of a widow 80 years old, whose
homo suffered damage to the oxtent ot
something over $100, has como to the at
tention ot the committee. There are
many cases' as needy as this. The re
lief committee proposes to take thesn in
hand and to get a force ot carpenters
and contractors to go out and repair
such places at the expense of the general
relief committee's funds.
Beginning with this morning the relief
committee, with carpenters and contrac
tors, will canvass tho district In an effort
to locate and list the extremely needy
cases whero persons aro absolutely un
able to repair their homes, and especially
those who may bo ot such an age as to
havo no resources In the way of earn
ing capacity to rebuild what the storm
destroyed In a minute. Tho relief com
mittee feels that the repairing of such
homes comos within the province of their
work, and they will go at it by Monday
morning. While the restoration commit
tee proposes to make the rebuilding ef
the many homes possible; the plaa of
the committee Is simply to loan and not
to donate.

They are in tho same
