CHICAGO. Jan. 12.-Six people were
crushed to death and as many more seri-
ously injured in a panic which followed
a mans cry of fire late this after
noon in West Twelfth street Turner hall.
About 500 people were in the place gath
cred to witness the performance of a play
entitled THE GreenhOrn." The follow
ing people were killed:

Samuel Mendelsohn and two children
The play was Yiddish and the audience,
comprising for the most part women and
children, were all Hebrews. The hall
stands in the center of a district densely
populated by Jews. The play was near

panic was raised and within five seconds
after il rang through the hall the entire
audience was converted into a frantic
mob, every member of which was fight

doors of the building.
The hall is frequently used for dances
and when a theatrical performance is
given chairs are set for the spectators.
As soon as the wild rush toward the door
began, chairs were knocked down in
every direction, the aisles disappeared

THROWN FROM BALCONY.
Around the upper part of the hall ex-
tends balcony which is open only at
one end. Here were seated $50 women
and children, and the women
at the farther end of the bal

way. seeing that the rush toward tho exit
was blocked to them and their chill
dren, began at once to throw the little
ones over the railing to the floor, ten
feet below. The children fell into the
midst of the maddened throngs and were
at once trampled under foot. 1t IS known
that three of the dead were children
who were thrown from the balcony and
were trampled by the crowd, with not

Following the children many OF IKE
women sprang from the balcony upon

was broken through in half a dozen

On the main floor the crush was much
worse than in the balcony. The main
exits from the hall and the only ones
known to a majority of those who fire,

LONDON, Jan. 12-Great Britain s

Great Britain's predominance dream is
past. 1t is almost a daily occurrence for
some great London newspaper to parade
the shortcomings of the country, insti-

the Morning Post, ARE the keynote, and
