Militants Attack Royalty.

New York Times 100 years ago today, February 11, 1913:
Smash Window of Prince Christian, King's Uncle by Marriage.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Feb. 10.— Pall Mall was the scene of a window-smashing raid of suffragettes to-day. In addition to the clubs, Schomberg House, the residence of Prince Christian, the King's uncle by marriage, was attacked, and one large window was shattered.
    The first building to suffer was that of the Junior Carlton Club. Brickbats and stones wrapped in paper were hurled at the windows. In only one instance, however, was the aim effective.
    At almost the same time the sound of breaking glass was heard on the south side of Fall Mall. Three women were seen throwing stones at windows of the Reform and Carlton Clubs. At the former two windows were smashed, but, owing to the prompt intervention of a police constable, the woman who was throwing stones at the Carlton Club broke only one window.
    Lower down Pall Mall another woman was busy upon the windows of the Oxford and Cambridge Club, where two windows were broken.
    The three women arrested were subsequently sentenced to terms of imprisonment.
    It has been discovered that the serious interruption on Saturday of the telegraph service between Glasgow and London, which was at first attributed to the gale, was the result of a suffragette plot. In the former city not only were the wires cut with scissors, but it was found that the fuse boxes in connection with the underground communication had been blown up.
