Women's Meetings
in, St. Petersburg
Broken Up by Police
ST. PETERSBURG. April 25. Plans for
the observance of a "woman's day" by
the workwomen of the capital were broken
up by the police. The day waa to have
been observed chiefly by lectures In vari
ous halls on general topics affecting
woman's work and position. The police
arrested a number of women In advance
of the day set. some of them of the edu
cated classes, and forbade all the planned
meetlnga but on. . Three of the speakers
for this meeting, however, were arrested
beforehand, and the meeting was dissolved
after two women had spoken. The au
dience tried to form a procession on leav
ing the hall. This was broken up and a
number of other arrests were made. Al
together more than 'thirty women have
been arrested. .
Interest in all questions affecting
women, but mort especially In' woman's
suffrage, is rapidly growing In. Russia.
A number of meetings have been held
during the winter, and crowds of girl stu
dents and women from all stations of life
attended. Inasmuch as Russian condlons
are especially unfavorable to the exten
sion of the franchise to women, the po-
Itical issue Is generally tr.eated merely
as one phase of the' general question of
the enlargement of the area of woman's
work for social betterment.
Mme. F. A. Tyrkova, a well-known nov-
ellst and one of the leaders In the women's
movement, states the alms and ideals of
the Russian women as follows;
"Russian women have been for years In
a privileged position compared with their

education had been secured for women In
Russia long before It was acquired In
most of the countries of western Europe.
In the struggle for political reform women
fought sldo by, side with the men. All
these thtngs, however, have caused a false
sense of security, and opportunities -for
securing full political rights are gradually
being narrowed down. There la danger
that the traditional conception of women's
Inferiority will assert Itself, and Russian
men, like the men of western Europe,
will resolutely oppose the extension , of
political rights to women."

of the straits to which the best women.
wero driven In a highly civilized society
when the conception of tho essential In

Intricate network of usage and custom.
