!.;"lLondon, March 2.—Mrs. Emmeline Paqkhurst, Mrs. Tukes and Mrs. Mar-hsall, the three leaders of last evening's window smashing campaign, by which the suffragettes succeeded in terrorizing the London tradesmen, were today sentenced each to two months' imprisonment. - < >, They wert the first three of the 124 women who were arrested in the courso of ,the street demonstrations and who
. ore to be arraigned at the Bow street npl!?» court chiefly on charges of causing wilful- damage to stores in Bond street, Picadilly, Regent «treet, Oxford street, the Haymarket and the Strand, as well as other busy shopping streets^
The attorney'for the prosecution announced in court today that the total
t damage done by the suffragettes in their stone throwing manirewtaUr.ns Was estimated at $25,000 and on behalf of the government he stated that
• the time had arrived when the consid-> eratlon which had hitherto been shown
In connction with suffragette raids could no longer be allowed.
The friendly audience that has heretofore been present in the police court® at suffragette prosecutions was aosent todav. The benches were occrpicd by sympathizer* with the store l.eepers
* '.vh^se premteee had suffered d images. The sentence* of the three lea,', rs were received with applause.
On delivery of the •sentence by the magistrate, Mrs. Pankhurst declared that she intended to go further when •In will. (UlT/fP*1"00 and that the sunrise < tcawJi e preparedTtV*® fullest limit to «how the government ^hst 'womon »re 'going to sccuro the
Sentences ranging from a fortnight to two m nths were pronounce! on a number of prisoner® but most of the women #wi ron.mittpd for friftl at the London stations as the damage, committed by each of them exceeded *25. About thirty cases were dealt with todav the remainder being adjourned.
Womon Demand Recognition. f# Because the coal miners had been able to gain government recognition of their grievances by threatening the business of the country, the suffragettes late yesterday also entered upon a policy of menace to trade. And they carried it out suddenly an! with an ardor that resulted in heavy financial losses, brought consternation to merchants of the most prosperous shopping districts of the city and paralyzed busitit-33. The policc were taken
: completely UMtwares. and before tlicy .were abla to muster their forces ant. restrain the women, streets were covered with ^battered plate glass from the show windows of s.t >rcs.
Pankhurst Strikes Fi.-st Blow. • Mrs. Emma Pankhurst, the veteran
of many suffragette battles, struck the first blow. In &» automobile, accompanied by Mrs. Marshall and Mrs. Tukes, sh» drove up to the premier's residence In Downing street at 0 o'clock. The three women Jeapo.T from their machine and drew out stones concealed in their mufls. Four windows crashed in before the police, who are constantly on <uard, could reach the women. The trio were arrested but while being led to the station managed to heave missiles thru the win-dows of the Colonial office.
Pandewioivtum broke out In the shopping district at the same time. Taxtcabo were the favorite vehicles of approach used , by the suffragettes
f • and t large number of innocent looit-(• ,' ing women were helped out of them K by porter* stationed in front of stores.
There was no hesitation on the part of the women, who at once attacked the show windows with brit-ks or
t hammers. The women who did not Use the taxica&f* merely walked along
' the streetf cracking or smashing win-£••• dows wltii hammers while crowds f' followed them cheering or hooting. £ So ay*tematically and quickly was
the work: accomplished that it was ^ well over before police reserves could
be called out. Hundreds of extra police were dn duty last night prote-rtlng the damaged buildings while thousands of slSfttsw* trumped the streets to viow tfce havoc wrought by the wo-
; men. Not Kvon Undertaker# Spared.
T • liw air w^s filled with sounds of police whiatles, yells, the stemming of blinds, and shrieks of frigihtened shoppers, punctuated now and then with cries of "Votes for women."
Wherever a window was shattered, thero the crowd surged, while the employes of the shops rushed to the street to prevent the unprotected goods from being stolen.
Not oven, the establishments of undertakers were spared:, i systematically and quickly was the wortc accomplished that it was well over before police reserves could be called out ' The suffragette leaders declare it Is
their purpose to continue their campaign of window breaking until, like the coal miners, they force the govern-
MORSE GETTING WELL,
Paroled Banker Hopoo to Bo Back in Business Soon.
Genoa, Italy, March 2^—"If all goes well," eald Charles W. Morse to a correspondent, as the freed financier sat chatting with him on the deck of the Kaiser Aufuste Victoria on the way from Villefranche to Genoa—"if all goes well," he repeated, "I shall bo back in l\ew York in three or four months, and able, I hope, to think of other things than my health."
As the correspondent was conversing with Mr. Morse, the boat passed Monte Carlo and the correspondent vouchsafed the Information that Mr. Morue's old friend, Ex-Mayor Van Wyck, of New York, was stopping there, but Mr. Morse kept silent. Then he went on:
"But first 1 want to go to Paris anil get out and see what the world Is like. I did intend going to Bad Neuheim to take the cure, but they tell me it is cold and disagreeable there at this season of the year, so I think It will do me more good to take a r«5t and the air on board this boat, where 1 am comfortable.
Determined to Get Well. "When I get back my health, as I
propose to do if will power and pluck count for anything," continued Mr. Morse, "then I will put my mind to other things, but until then I shall allow myself to think of nothing else."
Mr. Morse greeted the correspondent most cordially when he came aboard, saying:

granted. Discussion therefore turned largely to the reception the bill would gc\. in the senate. Its fate there seems doubtful.
The plan of the house leaders had not been wholly disclosed today but it was apparent that the bill to entend the excites law now relating to corporations so as to include co-partnerships was to be urged upon the house ahead of the bill to put sugar on the free list. The latter bill will of course share, in the debute on the so-called income tax, for it was to make up the deficit of more than $50,000,000 to be lost in customs revenues on sugar that 'ho

Chicago, March 2.—J. E. Roushar, a banker and mill owner of Victor, Iowa,
developed symptoms of mental dis- j new taxing bill was dievis>ed. The deoi-turbance in Palb Beach, Fla., last Tuesday. On that day, in company with two friends who became really his guards, he started for Chicago. The three arrived at the Victoria Hotel yesterday morning.
. During the entire journey, and up to 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when he was to have left the hotel to take a train for his home city, his guards never allowed him ;out of their sight. But just before, he was to xhave" taken his.cab for the.fiUUlon lie wss pllowed. to go alone Into' the lavatory of the hotel. Apparently'he had planned for that moment.
Stabs Himsslf With Knife. While the friends waited at the door
he opened his knife and drove the long blade into his breast three inches below his heart, inflicting a wound which, it was stated last night, probably would cause his death.
The two friends who accompanied Mr. Roushar from Florida were N. J. Hecht, of Truman, Minn., and E. C. Hyde, of Fairmont, in the same state. They were looking over Florida lands, but Roushar had taken the trip for pleasure.
"Roushar had been acting strangely for some days, but we did not become alarmed about him until Tuesday, when he developed the habit of wandering away from us," said Mr. Hyde. "Then we talked the matter over and decided we had better get him started l'or his home Immediately.
"Neither Hecht nor myself knew Roushar intimately, altho we had had business dealings. For this reason, when we started north, we wired to Alexendar - Grant, of Fairmont, who knew him well, and asked him to come on to Chicago and take Roushar from Chicago for the rest of the journey.
"The trip to Chicago was made without particular incident, altho Rou-shar's condition never showed any improvement. He was never violent, but his talk and conduct were. of a character to make us feel the greatest concern."
Gives $1 Tips in Hotel. After the party arrived in Chicago
Mr. Grant took Roushar in charge. During the day the banker caused some comment ground the hotel by distributing $1 bills as tips, and once he got out to Michigan boulevard without his guard and was brought back by a policeman. *
"We were Just ready to start for the train," said Mr. Grant, "when Roushar said he wanted to wash his hands. We went to the lavatory with him and stood outside the door. We could sec him standlpg there, and while we watched, his legs Suddenly doubled up beneath him and -he fell to the floor. We thought he had fainted at first and then we saw the handle of the knife sticking out' from Mfe coat,

ocrats want to make sure that the new deficit measure is provided oefore the duty is removed.
Republicans Surprised. The new democratic plan took vhc-ir
republican colleagues by surprise. Many of them had1 not recovered sufficiently today to be willing to talk for publication. Everybody agreed that the debates in the house and senate on the radical changes in methods to raise government reevnues would be the stormiest tn recent years.v;The consti-tutloRaUtr of., the .aew ptan, • " Was! said, would be attacked hy some representatives and senator^ altho the democratic leaders in the-house claim• the measure has been so drawn as to comply with the supreme court dev'slon upholding the corporation tax law. fhat dieclsion, It was pointed out, held that the corporation tax was not a tax ' on a franchise but on the privilege or doing business. The new bill holds that working for a salary is just as much a matter of doing business as investing •money In an enterprise.
In the senate, it is said, that' in all propabiltiy party alignments will be broken altho party leaders make no such concef-«ion publicly.
Tho Two Measures^ The democrats of tho. house, in cau
cus last night, ratified two bills which would be of great financial importance to the nation if enacted Into laws. The bills were reported by the house ways and means committee. They are:
A bill to put sugar on the free list. This bill, it is claimed, would eliminate $53,000,000 a year in customs revenues, but would reduce the price o£ sugar to the consumer, a cent and a half a pound.
An excise tax bill, which is, in effect, an income tax measure. It would tax every person who earns more ihnii $5,000 a year at the rate of 1 per cent on the excess. Thli bill merely extends the present corporation tax to include individuals and co-par; ner-ships and is so drawn that It Is ox-pected to comply with the supreme court's recent decision against the constitutionality of an income tax. It Is expected that it would bring in a revenue of between $50,000,000 and $60,-000,000 a year.
The free sugar bill wa« bitterly assailed by representatives from Louisiana and representatives from sugar beet growing states, who were absolved from the bond of the caucus. No roll call on the ratification of the bills was demanded. —.
Majority Leader Underwood announced that the bills ' would • be reported to the house In a-few days.
Chairman Underwood made a statement to the caucus that he had been directed by the ways and means committee to submit both bills.
The statement said that, In the opinion of the ways and , means committee, the large profits made by manufacturers and refiners of sugar have been due to the customs tariff, and that placing sugar on the free list would reduce the profit^ would not destroy the Industry in the United States, but would result In a saving to the American people of $107,600,000,. . >
Heavy Snow at Bluffs. Council Bluffs, March 2.—This sec
tion Is in the grip-- Of another severe snow storm. Five Inches of snow fell last night and at noon today It was still snowing heavily.

KILDUFF JURY RESTS.
Cots Provided and Nlght'a Sleep la Ofe* tained by Tired Man.
Davenport, March 2.—The Kllduff murder trial Jury spent last night's session of Its long vigil which started Thursday noon sleeping. The members were furnished cots and most of them retired early, utterly fatigued after their contlnupus session of thirty-four hours. Not since Judge TheophUua delivered his instructions at the conclusion of the trtal had the men com-* inunlcated with the court asking any further Instructions or asked to be relieved from consideration of the case.
There is no parallel to the case In the legal history of the county. No Jury has ever been out for so long a time without asking to be excused because of disagreement or asking for further Instructions or advice of the oourt.
As they filed out of the court houae for their evening meal before retiring the strain of the long session was evidenced In their faces and walk.
Anna Kllduff, whose fate the men were considering, apparently was the least interested person in the city In the outcome. ~y .
