MAY LOSE DIPLOMAS
STUDENTS FACE UNlSHMENT
FOR WREcKlNG THEATRE.
Yale Undergraduates Smash Chairs,
Glass, Balustrades Into Pile of De-
bris and Tear Down Curtains.

New Haven, Conn.-There may be
some doubt whether King Manuel
of Portugal lost his crown on
account Gaby Deslys, but there isn't
any question that some half dozen
Yale undergraduates will lose their
diplomas because of her appearance
at the Hyperion theater. Football
night is invariably squally at New
Haven theatres, but Saturday night
was the worst ever. The old "Hyp,"
which has been stormed by gener-
ations of Eli football celebrators, was
wrecked by them. Not bit of glass
remains unbroken in the interior Of
the playhouse, the chairs of every box
are broken, balustrades and cushion
ed seats yanked from their fastenings
are smashed into piles Of debris and
the beautiful curtains are torn and
plastered with dirt.
The riot began after the theater
management rang down the curtain
early in Gaby Dasly's show. AS the
price of tickets had been doubled for
the show the students were angry
at the shortening of the performance
although Miss Deslys had given her
full act. Some one shouted "wreck
the theater!" and the undergraduates
did.
To check the flying wedge of infuri-
ated Yale men the stage hands
knocked three senseless and turned
the hose upon the others. Drenched
by the stream the students broke and
fled. The gowns of many society
women were torn in the melee and
some ruined by the ducking from the
hose.
The police made the following ar.
rests: Norman H. Reed, Boston, Yale

Youngstown, O.-The old Nine

banquet of the club, held in the Elks
club here, and the friends of Senator
Robert M. La Toilette of Wisconsin
were outnumbered ten to one, al
though Senator Moses E.. Clapp Of
Wisconsin was one of the strong
speakers at the banquet.
j. ]. Sullivan of Cleveland, former
United States district attorney, led
the stampeders to Roosevelt in his
speech as postmaster. Sullivan
aroused the banqueters as no other
speaker did. First he mentioned La
Toilette, then President Taft and
finally Roosevelt.

Utterance of the former presidents

to its feet in a demonstration most
remarkable. The friends of President
Taft attempted to create a demon
stration in his behalf and utterly
failed, while there was but little ap-
plause when La Follette's name was
mentioned.

Sullivan, concluding his speech.

response.
