PLAN MONSTER FUNERAL FOR MISS EMILY WILDING DAVISON Miss Emily Wilding Davison. London, June 9. The first woman to give her life to the cause of suffrage was Miss Emily Wilding Davison, who died late yesterday at Epsom Cottage Hospital as a result of the injuries she received when she attempted to grasp the bridle of the king's horse in last week's derby. At the headquarters of the Women's Social and Political Union in King's Way, the flag is at half mast In honor of the dead woman. The suffragets are planning for the biggest-funeral that London ever saw, not even excepting that of the late King Edwaid VIL It is their intention to make the death of Miss Davison the most impressive object lesson Great Britain has had for a generation, bringing home to every man and woman in the United Kingdom the realization that the women's battle for ike ballot Is a real revolution and not opera bouffe and story book Warfare The coffin of Miss Davison, lying in the hospital, was covered with the suffraget colors, white and yellow, and a guard of militants surrounded the building, all of them wearing mourning bands about their sleeves.

It is possible that Home Secretary McKenna may forbid a public funeral, and Scotland Yard is-waiting instructions. NINE OFFICIALS OF UNITED MINEWORKERS INDICTED Charleston, W.Va., June 9.

White and eight other officials of the United Mineworkers of America were indicted, charged with conspiring with coal operators to raise the wages in the West Virginia fields so as to prevent the state from competing with other coal fields in the Western markets. President John P.

White, discussing the indictment, said: "It looks to me like an attempt on the part of the operators to divert public attention from anything that may be turned up by the Kern probe committee'."

Actress Trixie Frigartza, who used, to be Delia O'Callahan' of Cincinnati, says she believes in reincarnation and hopes that in her next existence she'll be a cow, she's so fond of salads. AA.
