FOR MISSING LITTLE ONES WHO
WERE TRANIPLED To DEATH
IN MAD RUSH FOR sETTER
SEATS.
SIXTEEN ARE DEAD
and FORTY INJURED
Lives Are Crushed Out on Floors and
Narrow Stairways Are Choked
With. Bodies OF Little Victims
Many OF the Wounded Will Die.

Barnsley, England. Jan. 13.-Six-
teen children were trampled TO death
and forty others, several OF whom
cannot live, were injured In a mad
rush for better seats at an entertain
ment given in n public hall Saturday
afternoon.
There was a great crush TO Sc
cure admittance to the entertain
ment. and when the show opened
every seat was taken and the gall
lery packed with children, who filled
the aisles and were dangerously
massed against the lower railing.
With a view to relieving this crowd
ing OF the gallery, the attendants de-
cided to transfer some OF the chill
dren to the body of the house and
one of the ushers called out:
Some OF you children come down
stairs!"
Immediately the rush started and
within few seconds hundreds of
children were being trampled under
foot. Even those who had seats in
the gallery, doubtless being panic
stricken by the screams and strug-
giles of the crowds fighting to reach
the staircase Joined in the stampede,
the cries of the injured and means
OF the dying causing the greatest ex-
citement among those gathered in
the body OF the hall. Police and
ushers rushed to the head OF the
staircase. which was literally
strewn with the dead and dying and
by the most desperate efforts man
aged to drag scores OF the struggling
children to the corridors below. It
was with the greatest difficulty that
the panic among the children i'm the
lower part OF the house was averted.
All Of these eventually being taken
TO the street I'm safety.
When the police reserves arrived
they found the marrow stairway prac-
tically blocked with bodies which
were so terribly crushed In some
cases as to be almost unrecogniz-
able. Scores OF the children were
forced by the pressure of the crowd
behind them to scramble over those
that had fallen, whether living or
dead, and many OF the injured chill
dren were found later to be suffering
from fractured bones and severe
Iacerations, caused by the indescrib-
able manner In which they had been
trampled upon.
Soon after the accident the ap-
proaches to the hall were crowded
with sobbing women searching for
their missing children.

TO RETIRE SCRIP
HOMEMADE MONEY WILL SOON
BE CURIOSITY.

Lynchburg, Va, Jan 13.-Begin-
ming this morning the scrip or clear
ing house certificates. which have
been I'm use here since November
18th, will begin to disappear. With
out making a formal call for the re-
tirement of these certificates, ~
banks will simply retire it as it is
deposited.
1t will be recalled that the banks
here did not begin the use of scrip
for more than month after ir was
issued in many other places where
the circulation was not sufficient to
meet local demands. owing to their
inability to secure currency or ex-
change due them in New York city.
The Clearing House Association
made provision for 100000 of
scrip, but only about 100000 OF
this was taken by the banks, and
never at one time was there moro
than 100000 in actual circulation.

Close Relations Either In business
or Socially. =,

New York, Jan. 1S.-There was no
delay In getting under way In the
Thaw trial today. II was exactly
1912 when Assistant District At
torney Garvan commenced his open
Ing address. After stating that the
defense's case would be insanity. he
said II would be left to the Jury
to decide whether Thaw owes tho
state expiation for criminal murder.
He said he would show to the jury
that before the crime, Thaw. in con-
versation with well known men.
talked as could only rational men.
In conclusion he said the state con-
tended that pie Kliimg OF White was
deliberate and premeditated.
After Walter II. Volkenny had
Identified the plans OF Madison
Square Garden roof. James Clinch
Smith, brother-ln-law OF Stanford
White, took the stand. Before he
was sworn all witnesses with tho
exception OF medical experts, were
ordered from the court room. Smith
testified that he was on the garden
roof the night OF the tragedy. and
described at length how Thaw spoke
20 him about various subjects and
appeared RATIONAL After the con-
versation Thaw walked away and
the witness said mo lost sight OF him
until he heard three shots fired, and
ne went over and recognized the
body as that of his brother-in-Iaw.
The cross-examinatioa broughb out
the fact that Smith and White had
never enjoyed exceptionally close
relations, either business or social.
Attorney Littleton forced the Witness
into a long drawn out narration OF
clos 81 detail apropos Of his move
ment on the night OF the tragedy.
Littleton's cross-examination. how
ever, failed TO reveal anything. At

THOUSANDS
DO HONOR
TO z0LA
NAN WHO BEGAN LITERARY
WARFARE IN THE INTEREST
OF DIsGRACED DREYFUs, HAS
MONUMENT UNVEILED TO HIS
MEMORY.

Paris, Jan. 13.-Accompanfed by
great popular demonstration, the
tenth anniversary OF the appearance
of Zola's famous letter, "J'Accuse,"
In which he began a vigorous liter
airy warfare in behalf OF the dis
graced Dreyfus. was celebrated to-
day by the unveiling and dedication
of magnificent monument to the
great novelist. The statue occupies
a prominent place In the Place Dau-
phine. where thousands OF people
gathered today to honor the memory
of the man who was once outlawed
because he had dared advocate jus
tice in the face of the antipathy of
the officials and the mob. The read
ing OF the noted letter was a fea-
ture OF the unwilling exercises, and
at each ringing "J'Accuse" the
crowd evidenced its appreciation By
wild shouts of applause.
The Zola statue was commenced
by Constantin Meunier. the Belgian
sculptor, who died before its COM
pletion. when the work was taken
up and finished by Alexandra Char
pentier Meunier's idea was to rep
resent only Zola the writer. Char
pentier completed altered this idea,
and the completed statue represents,
above everything. the accusing Zola
of the Dreyfus affair.
The principal bas~relief on the
PEDESTAL represents the scene in the
court d'Assizes, with Zola standing
before the tribunal, surrounded by
his principal defenders, Clemenceau,
Pieauart. Scheurer-Kestner and 9TH
ers. The other two bas-reliefs re-
call Zola, the social philosopher,
with a miner as the figure OF Ger
minal and a mother nursing her babe
as the figure of FNecondite. The
figure OF Zola is remarkably life like
and has been pronounced by art crit

Tangier. Morocco. Jan. 13.-Mulai
Hahd was on January proclaimed
sultan at Fee, one of the capitals or
Morocco. and a holy war has been
declared.
Unverifed reports to this effect
have BEEN in circulation for day
or two, but today official confirma-
ton OF them was received. Mulai
Hafid. who some months ago was
proclaimed Sultan at Morocco city,
was not present at Fez, and his un-
Gle, Mulai Saramini, was made vice
regent pending his arrival there
Abdul Aziz, the SULTAN of record, was
formally deposed from the sultanate.
The proclamations were issued at
the principal Mosque, and all the
Moorish formalities attending such
ceremonies were scrupulously OBJ
served. The Ulemas, or body of
Moslem doctors who interpret the
Koran. the Choffas tribes and the
city officials were the principal lead
ers in the movement.
The followers OF Mulai Hafid made
use of the decision of Abd-el-Aziz to
cooperate with France and Spain
in the execution of the terms of the
Algeeiras act and the installation of
an international police force in the
coast towns OF Morocco TO arouse
the fanaticism of the southern
Moors.
Abd-el-Aziz was represented az
having sold himself to the Chris
tians. as having connived at the in
vasion of the sacred soil of Morocco
by Europeans. and as being ready
to turn the country over to the for
eigners.
