Intense Popular Excitement:
Advocates of the Vote in Conflict with Police Tokio, Feb. 33.
The suffrage debate in the Diet adjourned at 6.40 o'clock this evening and will be continued tomorrow, While the members of the Lower House were filing quietly out of the chamber thousands of suffrage enthusiasts, who were facing the police-skirted area, flung taunts at the guardians of the law. There were numerous clashes but the most serious occurred when the thousands marching from the Shiba Park meeting attempted to reach the Kenseikai headquarters, which are inside the forbidden zone. The mob charged the police lines and many had their heads broken or were otherwise injured, while some of the police lost their swords. A dozen demonstrators were arrested.
The Kenseikai headquarters were the scene of another disturbance at eight o'clock this evening.
