LLOYD GEORGE AND HENDERSON
Plot to Poison Premier and Member of War
Council FoiledExpert Chemist, "Con
scientious Objector," Among the
Accused Trial Saturday -
DERBY, Enc, Jan. 31. A poison plot against Premier David Lloyd Gcorire
and Arthur Henderson, member of the Empire's War Council, was revealed today
in the arraignment at Guildhall of three women and one man charged with
"conspirncy to murder."
Crown Prosecutor A. AU Bonkin, who appeared against the quartet, de
clared that the plot had been hatching between December 20 and January 30.
It was also stated that Scotland Yard and the Government scot service had
been working on thccase since Saturday, when the conspiracy was first unearthed.
After formal evidence vof. the plot had been outlined by the Crown prosecutor
the four prisoners were remanded until Saturday.
The only evidence which the Crown gave against the defendants was formal
statement of the charges on which they had been taken into custody. It is
understood that the Crown has thirty witnesses to support the charge of "con
cpiracy to murder."
The defendants arc Mrs. Alice Whceldon, Miss Harriet Wheeldon, her
daughter; Mrs. Mildred Mason, another daughter, and Albert Mason, a chemist.
Mason i3 the husband of one of Mrs Wheeldon's daughters and is one of A
number of individuals in England who have sought to evade military service
because of ""conscientious scruples" against war. The three women are sup
posed to be suffragettes.
MASON A CUKMIST
Mason Is an expert chemist and has
been known as a "C. O." (conscientious
objector to war and war serlce), as they
ore Known In l'ngland.
Mrs. Mason was arrested nt Southamp
ton. The other threo alleged conspirators
were taken Into custody at Derby.
Publication ot tho charges against the
four persons arrested created an Immense
sensation, coupled with Kcncral Indignation
that England's "man ot tho hour" should
have been the object of such a plot. The
fact that the chief Inspector of Scotland
Yard should have assumed personal charge
of tho case was regarded as evidence of
the gravity with which It was regarded.
Although exlstenco of tho plot was dis
covered Saturday no Information concern-
lng It became known to the public until
the arrests were made.

country of an attempt on the Premier's
life.
:W Whether dissatisfaction with tho war or
" suffrage issues' prompted the alleged plot
was not .made apparent by first dispatches
passed by the censor. Lloyd George has
been a friend of the suffrago mocment,
however.
News of the attempt comes, strangely
enough, at tho same time that the Com
mittee on Klectornl Iteform In Dngland Is
sues Its formal recommendations for exten
sion of tho franchise In borne elections to
all llritlsli women more than thirty or
thirty-five years. ot age. This. announce
ment was m. de In London ' st night. It
had long been expected such a step would
be taken.
SL'FKItACIKTTKS ACTIVIJ
The recommendations, however, were en
tirely unsatisfactory to the suffrage parties
in England, according to u statement Issued
by Miss Sjlvla Pankhurst,. She held a,
majority of women wage-earners were be
tween twenty-five and thirty years of age
and It would bo unfair to eclude them.
Of late the militant suffragettes have
turned their attention to vigorous agitation
against peace meetings and alleged office
holders In England having a slight sym
pathy for tho Germans.
Viscount Ores', former Foreign Secretary,
and Viscount Haldane have been particular
objects of attacks becauss of the supposed
Germantcleanlngs of those statesmen which
It is charged leads them to deal leniently
with prosecution of tho war.
''C. O.'s," or "consc'entlous objectors,"
afcalnst the war havo frequently been en
countered in 'application of the military con
scription law. Most of them are Quakers,
j)r cIbo they swore to a belief In the wrong
of killing fellow-creatures approaching the
Quaker belief.
The combination of supposed suffragettes
ni a conscientious objector In a plot
against Lloyd George Is ttiererore a bizarre
one, totally Inexplicallle on" any grounds of
general belief of the apparent political and
' economic beliefs of the plotters.
