LONDON, June H.-SIx of the most
prominent leaders of" the militant suf
ragettes' organization and one of their
male supporters were today found guilty
it the Central criminal court of con
spiracy to commit malicious ydamago to
: property. The trial ,has lasted several
lays.
The women were officials of the
Women's Social and Political union, while
the man was Edward Clayton, an ana
lytical chemist.
The Jury handed In a recommendation
for mercy In the cases of Miss Lake,
Miss Lennox and Miss Barrett.
The sentences Imposed on the militant
suffragists ' were: Miss Annie Kenney,
eighteen months; Mrs. Beatrice Saunders,
fifteen months; Miss Harriet Kerr,
twelve months; Miss Rachel Barrett,
'nine months; Miss Agnes Lake and Miss
Laura Lennox, six months each; Kdwy
Clayton, twenty-one months. , (
-All the prisoners were committed to
theNthlrd division, which entails hard
labor. '

atlna Kenny t Defiant.
An Impassioned speech in defense of
the outrages committed by militant suf
'fragettes was delivered by Miss Annie
Kenney.
Her address served to enliven the pro
ceedings and her concluding words
created a great impression.
"If I have got to die to get the vote,"
she Bald,' "I will die willingly, whatever
the .verdict of; the JUry today." "
Greater interest was taken In today's
proceedings than in any previous stage
of the trial. The entrance of the accused

Saunders, Miss Annie Kenney, Miss Laura

crowded. Women formed the majority 3f
the audience, among them being Mrs.
Winton Spencer Churchill, wife Of the
first lord of the admiralty, and Miss
Violet Asqulth, daghter of the premier.
Precedents for Rebellion.
Miss Annie Kenney, in her speech, as
serted that the action of the Ulster
unionists and the speeches of cabinet
ministers, who, she said, had asserted
that the unenfranchised were Justified in
rebelling in order to get their grievances
remedied furnished ample warrant for
the course -pursued by the militant suf
fragettes. "If further Justification were neces
sary," she said, '.'the trickery and treach
ery of cabinet minister's, who have
hunted and hounded the women from pil
lar to post, supplied It. The present gov
ernment has tt blacker record In' the
question of women suffrage than any
other. xIt has treated the aspirations of
the women more abominably than any
British government since 1867.
"As for myself I belong to the working
class. At the age of 10 I was a half
timer in a factory. I Joined the suffrage
movement because of the terribly cruel
conditions under which women worked
In the British Isles,
"I am a rebel and a rebel I shall re
main until women receive the vote. If.
like Miss Davison, it should be necessary
for me to sacrifice my life, then I shan't
gladly die."

HITCHCOCK HAS A NEW PLAN
Nebraska Senator Submits Substi
tute for Tobacco Trust Idea.
TAX FOR ALL BIG CORPORATIONS
Hate Will lie llnsetl on Amonnt of

Controlled by Bo-Called
Trout.
WASHINGTON, June '17,-A graduato
Income Jax on corporations having a cap
ltul slock of more than 1100,000,000 and
controlling more than one-rourth of tho
production of their respective lines, was
proposed to the finance committee today
by Senator Hltchcoox nom the floor ot
tho nemtto. Ho stated that because tho
commltteo hod rejected his proposal to
levy a special tax upon the "tobacco
trust," ho offered the new amendment aa
a substitute,
"1 proposo to take three amendments to
the democratic caucus, It the finance
commltteo rejects them, and to carry
them to tho floor of the senate itself, If
necossary," declared the Nebraska sena
tor as he faced Chairman Simmons of
tho flnanco committee.
Senator Hitchcock explained that his
now proposal to tax the "trusts" pro
vided that on corporations controlling'
one-third of the production the tax-would
bo 15 per cent of their net annual profits
and on those controlling 60 per cent, a
tax of 25 per cent.
"New York papers have denounced my
tobacco tax as socialistic," said Sena
tor Hitchcock. "I am ready to accept
anything socialistic If It will do the
work. I don't think when we are faced
with big corporations monopolizing pro
ducts In defiance of law and public opin
ion and tde spirit of decrees, of courts,
wo should be too squeamish about the
mithod adopted for dealing with them."
The amendment was formally referred
to the finance committee.
Today the committee approved a change
lit the sundries schedule modifying the
clauso In the Underwood bill which pro
hibits the Importation of feathers from
all wild birds. The senate amendment
will admit feathers of birds killed for
