TAG DAY SkIRMISH
IS WELL PLANNED
Mrs. Helen Hecht Will Head
Well Trained Army to Aid
Children's Hospital
All Parts of City Will Be Visited
Saturday by Charity
Forces

Just As hours more and the citizens
of San Francisco will engage in the
opening skirmishes of a huge and mar
tial game of tag for the benefit of the
sick and suffering children of this
city.
Mrs. Helen Hecht has gathered her
forces about her and placed them in
positions from which they can swoop
down upon the defenseless city at a mo-
ment's notice. Saturday General Mrs.
Hecht will proceed to give the admirers
of the late lamented Won Moltke some
pointers on how to deploy an army on
the field OF battle.
AS early as s o'clock on Saturday
morning the skirmish firing will be-
gin. and attacking hosts, marching
under the banner of charity will in
wade San Francisco. All this sounds
very warlike. but it's not, for this
army shoots smiles-and tags-and
every man, woman or child In San
Francisco who has 10 cents and a few
kind words concealed about his or her
person will get shot.
A trip of "a grammar schools and
three high schools was made by the
school brigade of General Mrs. Hecht's
forces yesterday and the school children
were instructed in the part they would
take on tag day." An enthusiastic
response was met with in every school
visited and Young America of both
sexes will be enlisted in large numbers
under the tag" army officers.
Automobiles have not been forth
coming as fast as hoped for, but the
dealers are expected to respond more
literally today. Mrs. Henry Payot,
whose telephone number is Franklin
3419, is chairman of the automobile
committee and will find employment for
any machines contributed for use on
tag day"
Friday all the lieutenant generals
and captains will report at the st.
Francis between and 8 o'clock for
their tags and final instructions.
Saturday morning each captain and
her privates will take up their sta
tions at the points allotted them. Be
fore noon the downtown districts
should be a mass of tag covered peo-
pie, First to feel the bullets of the
| invaders will be the Office buildings
which close shortly after noon. Later
| in the day the crowds will be tagged
at the theaters, the Chutes and other
places of amusement, so that no one
need feel surprised or hurt If shot
| twice or more Those who do not
wish to be tagged more than once need
not feel a bit bashful about saying so,
as the taggers do not ask more than
/ 10 cents from any one. Those who wish
to give more than 10 cents or are Will
/ ing to be tagged more than once Will
find willing hands to accept the gift
but only cheerful givers will be tagged
1t is not necessary to ask San
Francisco public to greet in kindly
tones these. women, girls and children
who participate in tag day And
remember that every dime secured goes
to aid in the erection of new building
at the children's hospital, so that more
sick little ones can be cared for. The
hospitals main building was destroyed
by the fire, leaving the institution
! crowded for room.

PRESIDENT ELIOT OF
HARVARD HAS RESIGNED
Noted Educator Feels Keenly
Recent Criticisms Against
His Administration
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALI

CAMBRIDGE. Nov. president
Charles W. Eliot of Harvard
university announced today that he
had presented .his resignation to the
university trustees to take effect at
once.
This revives interest in the report
that Theodore Roosevelt Will become
president of Harvard after returning
from his hunt in Africa. 1t is shown
that President Roosevelt was ap-
preached some time ago with a propo-
sition that he succeed DR.. Eliot, whose
resignation was not unexpected.
1t has been said that President Eliot
feels keenly the criticisms made against
his administration. and decided to
leave on that account. He has been
called to account by many friends OF
the university for his utterances rev
days ago favoring moderate drinking.
DR.. Eliot has been president OF Har-
ward for SO years. His long service
has been hard. and desire to obtain
a well earned rest is regarded as the
real reason for his retirement he is
- years old.
DR.. Eliot has been a leader In the
educational world as we'll as in Har-
ward. Most of the newer methods in
college education, particularly such as
arise from the development Of the cleo
tive system. and the principle OF SELL
government among students, originated
in Harvard during his earlier years

EXPLOSION CAUSES
PANIC AT SHOW
Score of Women and Children
Trampled Upon in Fillmore
Street NickeIOdeOn
Operator of kaleidoscope Ma
chine Is Badly Burned, but
Disaster Is Prevented

In panic following the explosion OF
a kaleidoscope machine in the Arcade
nickelodeon in Fillmore street last
night. A score of women and children
were trampled under foot as 100 per-
sons scrambled for the narrow en-
frances leading to the street. The op-
orator of the machine was badly burned
on the face and hands and a fire that
might have been disastrous was checked
by the prompt action of several men
in the audience.
The hall that is in the Arcade build
ng. 1908 Fillmore street. was packed TO
its capacity. The people were watch
ing a series of moving pictures when
there was a loud explosion. similar to
that produced by the setting off of a
charge of dynamite, and a binding
fash of light. Pandemonium followed
in which the screams of women mingled
with the crashing of benches being
overturned and the trampling of panic
stricken people making for the doors.
Some of the women tainted and fell
under the feet of the crowd.
On account of the mad rush for the
entrances ii was some time before the
place could be cleared and the wounded
care for. 1t was then found that none
were so seriously injured that they
could not be taken to their homes In
cabs to receive medical attention.
In the meantime several Of the men
had aseended to the gallery where the
machine was operated and prevented
the spread of the flames. ]. l.. Duns-
ton. the machine operator, was badly
burned. but refused to go to the central
emergency hospital.
The building in which the nickelodeon
is situated occupies the entire block
in Fillmore street between Eddy and
Turlx and is a wooden frame that would
have burned like matchwood had the
FIRE gained headway.
The fire department was summoned,
but the flames had been quenched be
fore the engines arrived. The nickel
odeon is owned by Estees & Brown.
