SENATOR BACON STEALS MARCH
He Surprises Administration Senators
on San Domingo Treaty.


Washington, June 2S.-Taking the
administration senators completely by
surprise, Senator Bacon in executive
session of the senate Wednesday mov-
ed that the senate agree to vote on
the Santo Domingo treaty on Decem-
Der II, at the next session of congress.
This is the treaty undNr which the
United States undertakes to collect
and disburse the customs of the Do
minican republic for the payment of
its debts. Efforts extendingFover two
sessions of congress have been made
by Republican senators to ratify the
treaty but Democratic opposition has
prevented.
The motion in executive session
coming from Democrat who has been
one Of the chief opponents of the
measure confounded the Republican
senators. Senator Spooner without
obiecting to the motion asked the rea-
son for fixing the date in the next
session. Senator Bacon said the ad-
ministration is now endeavoring to
carry out the treaty without author
ity or end the present state of affairs.
He did not disclose the number of
votes he had against the treaty, but
his confident manner indicated that
the treaty would be rejected if it were
brought to vote. At the request of
Republican senators, Senator Bacon
permitted the question to go over un-
til tomorrow.

CUTTHROAT RUMORS
CLOSE Is SCHOOLS
Stories Cause a Panic Among
New York Eastsiders.
$4,000 PUPILS LEAVE LESSONS
Thousands of Excited Eastsiders Gath
er Around Schools, Having Heard
that Russian Agents Were Cutting
Their Children's Threats.

New York, June 2S.-A wild rumor
| that children's throats were being cut
in the public schools resulted in such
excitement and panic throughout the
lower east side Wednesday that Is
schools with $4,000 pupils, were closed
by operations performed on several
children for the removal of adennoids
in the back of the throat and nasal or
gans.
The operation is not a dangerous
one, but especially among the Hebrews
the report was exaggerated in the re-
! port that the Russian anti-Jews were
operating in this country and start
was being made on Hebrew children
in the schools. 1t was not long un-
til many of the schools were sur
| rounded by frantic parents, bent on
rescuing their little ones.
These crowds became so threaten
| ing that hurried calls for protection
were sent to the nearest police sta
tions, and all the patrolmen avail
| able were sent out to restore order.
In one instance polio ecourt was ad-
| journed for an hour to permit the court
| Attendants and officials to aid the po-
lice in protecting neighboring school.
At one building the excited people
| became riotous and doors and shut
ters were closed to insure the safe
| ty of those inside.
All attempts at continuing the ses-
| siOns Of the day were soon seen to
be useless, and one after another the
principals decided to dismiss their pu-
pills for the day AS the little ones
| marched out the scenes were pathetic,
weeping women rushing forward to
clasp their children in their arms in
| thanksgiving.
Throughout the disorders the sever
al hundred extra policemen on duty
were powerless to restore order. The
district extends from the Bowery to
East River, and from Catherine to
Houston streets.

FOR y HOURS
MAN FOUGHT DEATH
he Was Imprisoned in Deadly
Sand Pit.
WAS, HOWEVER, RESCUED ALIVE

Rescued Man Is in a PitiabIe condi
tlon From Exhaustion and 1t Is MOI
Certain that He Will Survive the
Effects of FriehtfuI Ordeal.
New York, June 28.-After fightine
against death for more than % hours
Jeremiah Fisher, plumber, was res
cued alive Thursday from sand pit
at Tompkfnsville, Staten Island, in
which he had been imprisoned since
II o'clock Wednesday morning.
The rescued man is in a pitiable
condition from exhaustion, however, II
IS not certain that he will survive
the effects of his frightful ordeal.
FISHER was working in an excavation
When passing street car loosened the
earth around the hole and sent an
avalanche of sand pouring down on
MIN. Before he could scramble out
OF rts way, the sand had sifted in
around his legs, holding him as firmly
as If in a vice, and gradually rising
until only his head was visible.
For hours large force of rescuers
worked with frantic haste in an eff.
fort to free the imprisoned man. but
the sitting sand surged back and re.
neWed his grip on the prisoner almost
rs fast as they could remove it.
When the rescuers began to aban.
don hope of getting Fisher out alive,
they reluctantly decided to notify his
family of his predicament and the
wife, mother and brother witnessed
the all-night fight for his life.
Hundreds of persons from all parts
OF the island fiOcked to the scene,
and many of them remained through
out the night.
An ambulance with physicians and
nurses also stood by in constant read
mess to render any aid they could,
and two clergymen, who had been
summoned, awaited the call to ad-
minister the last rites should the task
of the rescuer's prove unavailing.
All through the night the rescuers
labored under the light of torches,
and when daylight came they had
succeeded in uncovering the imprison-
ed mans body as far down as the
hips. Then ropes were attached un-
der Fishers arms, but the combined
strength of twenty men failed even
to move the imprisoned man an inch.
Fisher then was unconscious and the
physicians who had been watching his
condition declared that there remain
ed only the faintest hope of his sur
viving much longer.
The rescuers stuck to their task,
however, and hours later when the
last obstacle was removed, and the
senseless form of Fisher was drawn
from the sitting hole, a spark of life
still fingered
