STAGE FALLS WITH FORTY
Jacob H. Schiff and Other Prominent
Jews in Bad Tangle for Several Min
utes at Levin Meeting.

NEW YORK. Dec. 10.-An immense
Jewish mass meeting in the riding acade-
my in SiXty-sixth street last night ended
in panic when part of the speakers
platform collapsed, dropping Jacob II.
Schiff, the presiding officer, and about
forty others in a heap on the tanbark
floor. The meeting had been called to
welcome DR.. Shmarahu Levin, a Jew
ish member of the late Russian duma
and leader of his people in Russia
DR.. Levin was among the persons who
went down, as were also Cyrus l.. Sulz-
berger and Congressman Goldfogle
Mr. Schiff was uttering the closing
words when rush started toward the
platform. Everybody, apparently, want
ed to shake hands with the Jewish pa
triot. The rush was still on when there
came a great crash. Mr.. Schiff was at
the edge of the heap and quickly was
helped up. He was cool, and, stepping
out, added his voice to that of the po-
lice, warning the people to leave the
building. Then he jumped down on the
reporters stand and helped straighten
out the tangle in the hole. DR.. Levin
also landed on the edge of the heap
and was one of the first to get out.
Everybody was out of the miXup in a
few minutes and few had marks to show
