SUFFRAGE WAR
Miss Pankhurst Defines Limits

The rul<s ot warfare tor the army of

daughter of Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst,
I oer of the movement In England, who
Is now In prtson as a result of her part
In the recent window-smashing outbreak
fn London
It Is the f irst time that the rules under
"'hlch women are wagi ng thetr war for

line drawn as to how far they consider It

IH allowed to resort to stone-throwing,
ne>thlng to determine the kind or the
weight ot the mlssUe, the use of the ham-
mer or other similar Instrument in the
dt structlon of property
The use of hammers Is favored more
than stones, Miss Pankhurst explained, for
they can be made the more effective and
ulre less skill as to the accuracy. She
advhes the use of the hammer, for with
is less chance of tlte. m-
bystander
Ask qu<.stlons, no matter how unpleas-
ant when one can get a hearing. or within
vocal distance of a Cabinet Mlulster, Is
another rule Miss Pankhurst also In-
dorses petlhons by personal appeal and
post; the holdmg of meetings and wrlttj!n
app<'.als to reoresentahves In Parliament.
l"inalty she urges the recruiting up of
mere man to the cause
The destruction of Government prop-
erty has been discarded This was In-
effective as the taxpayer and not the
Government suffered Miss Pankhurst
did not discuss the advisability of kid-
napping, an expedient already talked of.
Miss Pankhurst does not look half as
militant as her words She told of broken
Government promises, and charged that
powerful money Interests must be behind
the present opposition, for without such a
prop the English Government would not
have held out so long The war, she said,
Is to go on, but she Is hopeful that the
suffrag9 bill will be passed at the present
session of Parliament She said that In
case of Its defeat other violent measures
would be pursued, but nothing so destruc-
tive as dynamite Is In contemplation
" When a Go\ ernment forces people to
fight for their rights as we are forced to
do there Is no telling what may happen,"
said Miss Pankhurst " There Is the pos-
olblllty> that some hotheads may act It
Is rather remarkable that there has been
so )little loss of lite when the Importance
ot the movement and the Injustice of the
Government are considered. I do not
want It said. that I say tbts as a threat,
but rather as a possibility
" I want the American people to know
that at any time they may hear of a ter-
rible tragedy In Holloway Jatl The feed-
Ing of prisoners by force Is dangerous and
death may result Wlthtn two years they
tried It on two criminals, and both died,
one suffragette, a man, was so fed and
he became Insane Any one of the women
now confined in prison may die at any
minute
"We do not want martyrs to the cause,
tor we can get the vote wtthout that
The women are willing to die for the
cauee, and have gone to prison prepared
to die If necessary The question Is now
so urgent that I would not hesitate If It
came to sacrificing myself, nor would
others Why hesitate to sacrifice one or
two lives when the alternative Is the sac-
rifice ot millions of women and chil-
dren?''
When the name of Lady Warwick was
mentioned In connection with suffrage,
Mlea Pankhurst drew !le:-oe1r up and said
"I will not discuss the Countess of
Warwick. Slie Is not a serious politician
What does she know of life? I won't

WALLACE ASSAILS CROMWELL
Waa the String-Puller In Panama
Canal Polltlce, He Saya.
Before several hundred members of the
.::!anadlan Club who assembled at the
Waldort-Astorla Jut night tor an Infor-
mal emoker, :John F. Wallace, the first
engineer ot the new Panama Canal, paid
hle'reepecte to William Nelson Cromwell,
and, by Indirection, to ex-President
Roosevelt, In no uncertain tenns. Of
Mr Cromwell the speaker said that " he
was the Bunty who pulled the atrtnge of
the Roosevelt Administration In all at-
fairs pertaining to the canal."
Mr Wallace characterized the Inaction
of the United Sfatea In the matter of
Colombia's claim tor reparation for
fomenting the Panama revolution amd the
seizure ot the Canal Zone as "the black-
est stain on this country'e history." '
"Until we take ott our hat." he de
" and apologize to that Govern
we have no right to pride ourllelvea
on our aebtevemente In the Canal Zone."
Mr. Wallace 18 now Cbalnnan ot the
Westinghouse, Church, Kerr Co. He
prefaced !Its remarke by ea)'lnc that he
wu ping to talk on canaf matters con-
rtdentlally, and for the tint time In alx
years. He waa evidently labOring under
the Jmpreselon tliat there were no re-
porters present but when approached by
the repreeentai!ve of ae'l!eral papers atter-
watd he said that he would stand by all
be pad Ald. Hla addreu proved the
principal feature of the eveolng, and wu
Interrupted by frequent applause when
he criticised the acttone ot the Rooaevelt
.A:dmlnletratlon.
Mr. 'Vallace, who bad previously acted
as General Manager of the Illlnole Cen
tral explained biB appointment u being
In the ne.tute of an accldenL He ll&ld that
the seven membere of the original Isth-
mian Comm18slon paid an lnepectlon visit
to the canal and were all taken sick
within twenty-four hours, with the reault
that they decided that the work of au-
pervlslon should be lett to an engineer
lle- said that sanitary conditions were
Impossible when he took llhll.rge, and that
out of seventeen assistants In his office
only two or three were still In service at
the end of a few weeke He htmself went
down with a light attack or yellow fever,
from which he recovered without It be-
comtnc known among the great body ot
employes that he had been a victim.
He found the canal district a jungle oT
dlseue, with no precautions against yel-
low fever In his talk he charged the
powers at Washington with having tailed
lamentably In belDing tile engineers to
cleanse the zone and cited aa typical a
letter from the Chairman of the Commis-
sion complaining of the Chief Engineer's
free un of the cable In demanding sup-
plies. .
Mr. Wallace al'd that the. cruteet need
was a municipal water SJJJIPIY ay11tem, for
which all preparations l1ad been made
month before Wuhlngtgn could be pre-
vailed upon to supply the neceeeary pipes
Mr. Wallace hae alwaya been an advo-
cate of a sea-level canal He Rid that
engineers. naval men, and the shipping
lntl!{este all favored tbte method of oon-
atructton, and that the flret Walker Com-
mialllon wae removed for recommendlntr
this 11tyle ot canal Mr. Wallace's expla-
natloa of the Administration opposition to
this plan was that the Spooner act had
been passed wltll the Idea that tt would
fall to the lot of President McKinley to
exerctae the liberal powers therein con-
ferred. and that when Mr Roosevelt came
Into power he was afraid that It new
legislation became necessary to make It
possible to build a sea-level type of canal
he woul4 not be able to get the eame
amount of authority The speaker eaJd
the decision favoring the high-level plan
was not the of engineering but po-
litical preeeure
The Spooner act empowered the Presi-
dent, Mr. Wallace explained, to acquire
the Panama Canll.l and all concessions,
" lock, stock, and barrel," for $40.000,000.
It this could not be obtained on those
terms the Nicaragua lake route was to be
adopted. Mr. Wallace said that while
the necotlatlone were pending an addi-
tional charge of for Interest
wae tacked on, and that Mr Cromwell
worked bard to get this bill paid
" I reJ(ard Mr Cromwell as the sharp-
eat and shrewdest man of his type In
this count17 to-day," said the speaker
" J!lve17 expedient to obtain payment of
the bill wae adopted, but to the face of
