No Advices Yet.

While no official information reached
the State Department today of the formal
announcement of the appointment of
Baron Takahira to be ambassador to this
country, there is no doubt in the minds
of the officials that he is to be given the
place. The fact that the department had
been sounded by Japan as to Baron
Takahira's acceptability to this country
anu the State Department has signified
that he would be welcomed is regarded as
tantamount to appointment.

Fatal Stampede in an English
Playhouse.
SIXTEEN PEOPLE KILLED
Forty Others Were Injured, Some
of Them Fatally.
NO REASON FOR DISASTER
Hall Was Badly Overcrowded and
Ushers Tried to Move Some OF
the Spectators.

BARNSLEY. England. January l1.-SiX-
teen children were trampled to death and
forty others. several of whom cannot live,
were injured in mad. rush for better
seats at an entertainment given In the
public hall here this afternoon.
There was great crush TO secure ad-
mittance to the entertainment, and when
the show opened every seat was taken and
the gallery was literally packed with chill
dren. who filled the aisles and were dan
gerously massed against the lower railing.
With a view to relieving this crowding in
the gallery. the attendants decided to
transfer some of the children to the body
of the house. and one of the ushersf called
out:
Rush Was Started.
Some of you children come down
stairs
Immediately the rush started and with
in few seconds hundreds of children
were being trampled under foot. Even
those who had seats in the gallery, doubt
less being panic-stricken by the screams
and struggles of the crowds fighting to
pede.
The scene was terrible one, the cries
of the injured and means of the dying
causing the greatest excitement among
those gathered in the body of the han.
Police and ushers rushed to the head of
the staircas ses. which were literally StreWn
with dead and dying, and by the most des-
perate efforts managed to drag scores OF
the struggling children to the corridors
below 1t was with the greatest difficulty
that panic among the children in the
lower part os the house was averted, all
of these eventually being taken to the
street in safety.
Awful After Scene.
When the reserve police arrived they
found the narrow stairway practically
blocked with bodies. which were crushed
in some cases almost beyond recognition.
Scores of children were forced by the
pressure from the crowd behind them to
scramble over those that had fallen,
whether living or dead, and many of the
injured children were found later to be
suffering from fractured bones and severe
decorations caused by the indescribable
manner in which they had been trampled
upon.
Soon after the accident the approaches
to the hall were crowded with sobbing
women searching for their missing chill
dren.

At the Naval Academy there is a strong
prejudice against being called Anna
polls" The navy men aren't particularly
fond OF ''midshipmen. They believe the
proper name for their institution is "the
Navy"
Columbia has a great distaste for the
name of "COlumbians" for their repre-
sentatiyes in athletics OF other public APP
pearances. At the University Of Chicago
there is a dislike of the name Chicago
University, sometimes applied.
Although not so strongly opposed to 1t,
students at Pennsylvania do not like the
full title University of Pennsylvania
well as plain pennsylvania" Penn
i preferred to either.
''Maroons" for Chicago men. "Gophers''

students. 'Cornhuskers' for Nebraska
Wolverines for Michigan, "Illini'' for
tHe men at Illinois-are all names that
are popular at those colleges and are
