' Away From Entrances
to White House
TWO WOMEN ARRESTED
WASHINGTON. June 22.
Police today put an end to all suffrage
picketing of the White House.
Following two days' riots. Major Pullman
Issued strict orders against permitting the
militants to flaunt their banners or to stand
before 'the White House.
Pullman served formal notice on the
women at 9:30 that they could not continue
their tactics. Then he strung a line of
patrolmen and police women from suffrage
headquarters a block away from the White
House up to and along the avenue on which
the mansion fronts.
"The period of leniency has passed," he
said, after Issuing this order.
TWO AP.RESTS MADU
Shortly after, three patrolmen and two
policewomen, after trying peacefully to dis
suade Miss Lucy Burns, militant leader, and
Miss Catherine Moray, of Boston, from un
furling a big yellow banner before the
White House gates, arrested them and took
them to headquarters.
, The women clung desperately to their
yellow banner bearing a quotation from one
of President Wilson's speeches on democ
racy. '
"You must move on," said the patrolman.
"You can't stand here with that standard."
The twp policewomen then stepped up
and argued for a moment with the leader
of the pair. Miss Burns.
"Wouldn't you rather give up the banner
and move on than be taken 'in?" said the
officer.
"You can't take away this banner; It's
private property," said Miss Burns In a
low even tone, as though reciting a pre
pared speech. "We will keep It. It Is
private and we have the right to stand here.
