London, June 8 Emily Wilding Davison, the first martyr to the militant efforts of women to obtain the suffrage, died today at the Epsom hospital as the result of a fracture of the skull sustained in an attempt to stop the kings horse Anmer during the running of the Derby on Wednesday, last. Only the matron of the hospital and two nhrses were present at the death bed. Miss Davison's relatives having left the building when told that there was no hope of her regaining consciousness. A few moments before her death two comrades draped the screen surrounding the cot with the fateful colors of the Womens Social and Political union which she wore when she made her sensational attempt to interfere with the great classic of the British turf. Miss Davison had evidently expected to gain the track in time to intercept and scatter the field, but was detained a moment by a spectator who tried to restrain her.

She reached the track in time to be struck by the king's horse which was running in the ruck. The woman turned a complete somersault, coming down across the legs of Jockey Jones who had been left prone and unconscious after the fall of his mount. She struck on her head and it was believed at first that her thick hair had saved her from more than concussion, but a later examination showed a fracture of the base of the skull. An operation was performed, but the case was hopeless from the beginning. An Earlier Episode.

Miss Davison was noted for her daring feats in behalf of militancy. One of her earliest exploits was to barricade herself in a cell and could only be overcome by the warders with the aid of a fire hose. She was one of the most persistent invaders of the House of Commons which she' gained at one time by way of the air shaft. Her last exploit before the fatal Epsom incident was the assaulting of a Baptist clergyman in the belief that he was Chancellor Lloyd-George. The inquest will be held Tuesday.

The funeral will take place in London and the members of the Women's Political and Social union will take a prominent part. Speaking with great emotion at a Hyde Park meeting this afternoon, rs. Despard said she hoped that the case of Miss Davison would kindle a flame in the souls of men which would end the present awful situation. Miss McGowan, another suffragette leader, said that Miss Davison had given her life in order to call attention to the wrongs of women. She knew' that Miss Davison had always held the view' that a womans life would have to be sacrificed before the women of this country would get TRAIN HITS MILK TEAM.

Revising their policy again, democratic leaders in the Senate have decided to put a counter-valhfig duty on imports of livestock and grains, fresh meats, flour and other grain products. These agricultural products are to be classed in the free list, in accordance 'with the recent decision after conference with President Wilson, but they 'will be free listed with a string to them. A countervailing duty means that the United States will charge on imports of cattle, sheep, hogs, wheat, flour and such products, a duty compensatory to any duty they may be charged by another country against America on her exports of the same commodities. This decision has been reached in the Senate finance sub-committee in charge of the agricultural schedule after repeated conferences with other members of the finance committee and democratic senators particularly interested in agricultural raw material and products. By the imposition of tne countervailing duty, the party leaders now believe they will satisfy everybody.

farmers, millers and manufacturers, since all are to be treated alike and the farmer cannot claim that his livestock and wheat are to compete with that of such countries as Canada and Argentina on an unequal basis. Interests Canada and Argentina. Under the terms of such an arrangement as is now proposed, livestock and grains will he admitted free from countries which impose no duties v.n tbei imports frem this country. Should Canada. Argentina or any country which now has such agricultural products on the dutiable list, determine to remove such duties at anytime, they automatically would go to the unrestricted free list of this nation.

Early in their deliberations the Senate leaders decided that the rates on these raw materials and their products must be equal. zed but how to do it was the problem. The finance sub-committee last week decided to put a small duty on all of these agricultural products, taking meats and flour from the Underwood free list. Publication of this aroused a protest and President Wilson himself was opposed to the plan. The next day the sub-committee voted that the products should come in free to aid in the general effort to reduce the cost of living.

Possibly More Breakers Ahead. Since that decision the democratic leaders found themselves in hot water again. From certain agricultural countries farmers fear an invasion if such products are undutiable. As a result the decison was reached to resort to the countervailing policy which will be recommended to the finance committee late this week. Even then there may be breakers ahead, fr this much-buffeted about schedule.

Regarding print paper, which the Underwood bill places on the free list, but which certain Senate leaders think should be given a measure of protection as a retaliation for Canadian restrictions on wood dnd pulp, a new idea has been suggested. Instead of putting a flat countervailing duty on print paper, as had been proposed and urged by the manufacturers, the subcommittee has suggested a provision that, unless restrictions on exports of wood and pulp are removed within a certain specified time, then a duty equal to any export uen a autv equal to any export MEETING OF POLICE CHIEFS. CONFISCATES DIAMONDS. GOVERNMENT PROBERS. To Open Today in Washington Address by Speaker Clark.

Washington, June 8. Chiefs of police from all sections of the United States and Canada arrived here today to attend the annual convention of the International Association of Chiefs of Police which begins tomorrow. The sessions will continue until Saturday. An address by Speaker Champ Clark and a reception at the White House by President Wilson will feature the opening day. Ironton, June 8.

According to local authorities, Berkeley Flemmtng, aged 20, a farmer, confessed here tonight to the murder of hia mother, Mrs. Emma Flemming, aged 45 years and his brother, Culbertaon, aged 25 years. July 14. 1910, at CoryvlUe, one mile north of Ironton. Following the confession, Flemming was taken to his home.

Near the house, he pointed out the spot where he said he had buried his mother. The police found her body under 18 inches of dirt. The back part of her head had been blown away with a gun. Flemming then took the officers to a nearby tobacco field on the farm and showed where he had buried hia brother. A few feet under the ground a skeleton, the skull of which had been broken, was found.

Flemming told the police that he Hhot his brother also. Tonight at police headquarters, he had recovered from fright attending his arrest and talked freely of his alleged crimes. The investigation, which resulted in the confession, was begun this morning when Mrs. Flemming was missed by Miss Bessie Stewart, her sister who resides at the Flemming home. Young Flemming could not be found about tjo farm and a aearch showed that $200 hyi been taken from a trunk which belonged to hia Government Intercepts Levitansky When Leaving Steamer.

Confronted by a complicated situation, constantly growing more involved, the, Senate sub-committee named to investigate West Virginia coal strike conditions, will leave for Charleston tomorrow night. Examination of witnesses will begin Tuesday with the appearance of scores of miners, rounded up by the agents of the United Mine Workers to testify in relations to charges that the workers in the Paint Creek and Cabin Creek coal fields are kept in a state of virtual peonage. Paul J. Paulson of the United Mine Workers, has been in West Virginia for a week collecting the witnesses and it is expected that about 100 men will be ready to tell their experiences in the West Virginia coal mines. They will be follow'ed by witnesses testifying as to alleged interference with the postal service by mine guards, io-lations of the immigration laws, the shipment of arms and ammunition into the strike territory and the arrest.

trial apd conviction of citizens in violation of the constitution or A RESENTFUL TRAMP. President Wilson Likely to Ignore Senator Townsend's Accusations. Washington. June 8 The democratic members of the Senate lobby i es-tigatinj' committee do not intend to recall democratic senators who have already testified in trder to meet the charge made by Senator Townsend of Michigan that President Wilson himself has been guilty of lobbying. The Michigan senator in his testimony before the committee yesterday alleged that the president has coerced senators of bis own political fatth into voting for the Underwood bill against their individual wishes.

Senator Reed of Missouri, a member of the committee, had a conference with Secretary Tumulty at the White House yesterday, and while the Missouri senator would say nothing about wbat transpired is understood that the Townsend charge was the subject under discussion. Senator Reed and the other democratic members of the committee take the position that as the reflection upon President Wilson was made by a republican senator, the two republican members of the committee Senators Cummins and Nelson should be the ones to recall democratic senators before the committee order to obtain from them the facts in the case. The majority members of the committee do not believe that Senator Townsend presented anything but hearsay evidence respecting President Wilson's attitude toward those senators who, it is said, in some quarters, do not favor the wool and sugar schedules in the Underwood bill. Therefore, they do not feel that they are called upon to take official notice of the matter. Neither do they believe that President Wilson, in the absence of any direct evidence from Senator Townsend, should take any cognizance of the Michigan senators allegations.

While it was the intention of the Senate to have the committee complete its work and report its findings to the Senate before the arguments on the tariff bilk began, it is not thought probable now that this can be done. The committee has yet to examine over a dozen senators and a couple of days at least will be consumed in such examination. In addition to this nearly 50 witnesses have been summoned to appear before Hhe committee and their examination is expected to consume the best part of the 20 days extension granted to the committee by the Senate yesterday. The committee intends to probe much deeper into every phase of the lobby situation in Washington and flsew'here than was first contemplated. While the resolution authorizing the lobby investigation makes no mention of proposed legislation for curbing the operation of lobbyists in their activities before Congress, there is no doubt that the committee will take a stand on this phase of the matter.

Already Senator Kenyon of Iowa has a bill pending in the Senate providing for the registration of all so-called lobbyists or legislative agents in the office of the secretary of the Senate and the clerk of the House. While the committee has not given serious consideration to any proposed legislation along this line the matter will be treated when the report of the investigation and the findings of the committee are submitted to the Senate. It is expected that Senator Overman of North Carolina, chairman of the committee, will have a conference with President Wilson Monday to learn from the president whether he will appear in person before the committee to give information bearing on the lobby investigation. The president has not yet indicated what course he will pursue. He may content himself with simply giving names and other data to the committee in a communication or he may wish to be heard personally.

Either course will be entirely satisfactory to the members of the committee. Disorder at Hyde Park Meetings. Fortune and Honor If Gen. Blanco Will Support Huerta. Brownville, June 8.

Three hundred thousand pesos and a generalship in the lederal army was the price offered Gen.

Abbs, a foreman in the General Electric cpmpanys plant at Schenectady, sustained a fractured skull and may die and Wright suffered a broken knee cap when both men were thrown from the car. ABANDONS OLD LINE. In striking contrast to the meetings of the Constitutional society in Hyde Park this afternoon, which met with only mild heckling, the attempts of the W. S. P.

speakers to address the crowd resulted in considerable disorder and a number of fight's between the male body guards of the women and the spectators. Waiting until the constitutionalists had finished and repeating the tactics of last Sunday, the members of the Women's Political and Social union raised the flags at several points, but the crowd pushed in and pressed the speakers together. Several arrests were made. The Daily Sketch has received a message from Christobel Pankhurst, who is now in Paris, in which she said: Miss Davison died for women. She did this to call attention to their wrongs and win for them the vote.

The governments refusal to grant the votetdrove her to make her protest. The argument has not convinced Mr. Asquith of the seriousness of his position, but perhaps the woman's death will. Miss Davison's memory will live in womens hearts and 'history for all time. There will be a public funeral' in honor of this soldier who has fallec in the war for freedom.

charges Imposed by any country, should be assessed. No decision has been reached yet on this point. MAKE BELLICOSE SPEECHES. The announcement of the indictment of officers of the United Mine Workers and the news of further Tabor outbreaks in the New River coal field of West Virginia, have further complicated the strike situation The charge of conspiracy on the part of operators in other, states to cause trouble in the West Virginia field is one of the points embraced in the Senate resolution and the indictment may force the senators to limit materially their efforts on this point. Senator Martine of New Jersey, in charge of this branch of the inquiry, will be very careful in calling and examining witnesses to avoid all possibility of giving immunity to any offenders who mght later be called to account through the 'courts.
