PANIC CLOSES NEW YORK SCHOOLS
Trouble Caused by Operations fer
Fungus Growth in Nose.

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 that fifteen schools
with $4,000 pupils closed for the day.
The trouble was caused by opera
tions performed on several children
for the removal of adenoids. fungus
growth in the back of the throat and
nasal cavity The operation Is not
a dangerous one, but the reports
spread rapidly and especially among
the Hebrews, and became changed in
to rumors that Jewish massacres were
to be repeated in this country and
start was being made on Hebrew chill
dren in the schools.
1t was not long until many of the
schools were surrounded by crowds of
frantic stricken parents, bent on res
cuing their little ones from what they
believed to be impending death. At
one building the excited people be-
came riotous and doors and shutters
were closed to insure the safety of
those inside. All attempts at continu-
ing the sessions for the day were seen
to be useless and one after another
the principals decided to dismiss their
pupils 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 disor-
ders, the several hundred extra po-
licemen were unable to restore order.

RATE BILL STILL A BUGBEAR
Agreement Seems Near on Pipe Lines
and Pass Provision.

Washington, June 2S.-TSe confer.
ence on the railroad rate bill resulted
in no agreement on that measure. The
discussion made it clear that the pass
provision, which is to be perfected for
the action of the committee, will fol-
low closely the lines of the original
senate amendment on the subject. 1t
will name certain classes Of persons
who may receive passes and exclude
all others. There is also ground for
the prediction that the pipe line
amendment will be reported exactly as
1t was in the last conference report;
that is, the phrase common carriers"
will give place to the word railroads. "
The effect Of this will be to permit
pipe lines to transport the product
owned by the owners Of the pipe line.
