Barnard Girls Odd Costume
Causes Turmoil on Heights.

An oddly costumed Barnard UNDER
graduate threw Morningside Heights
into a turmoil yesterday afternoon.
Shortly after luncheon time there is-
sued from Barnard's cloistered halls
in 10th street a girl in black suit
with a slit gown and a flying panel
that scraped up the dust five or six
;eet behind. She wore the mystic
symbols of Theta Kappa Alpha in
fiaring orange and on her head reposed
q Hessian hat. She carried a small
red parasol and waved yellow and
red flag.
She went down Broadway 10 ll6th
street, followed By an excited crowi'
and then turned east TO the Columbia
library. Henry Meyers. the guardian
Of Columbia's peace and quiet. turned
her back, just as a policeman from
the West 125th street station came
along in hurry.
Caught between two fires, the Bar
nard maid was in a quandary, but while
the Columbia proctor chased away the
crowd the policeman guarded the girl
and finally sent her to her room IN
Brooks Hall.

Secretary of Allied Trades
Council Will Send Protest
to President Wilson.
CALLED ENEMY OF LABOR
New Ambassador to England Is
Declared Bitter Opponent of
Unions at Meeting
of Council

Peter +. Brady. secretary Of the AL
lied Printing Trades Council, an
nounced last night. during a meeting
Of the council. that he would send a
request 10 President Wilson. asking
him 10 cancel the appointment OF Wal
ter Hines Page as Ambassador To the
Court OF St James's on the ground
that Ambassador Page was an enemy
Of organized labor. Mr.. Brady. in eX-
planning the attitude Of the council,
said:
Ambassador Page has been very bit
ter in his display of non-unionism.
Much confusion has been brought
about and many misleading statements
circulated because Of the action OF an
outlaw organization sending "A protest
to the London Trades Council asking
that body To protest against Ambas
sador Page. This outlaw organization
has been mistaken for the Allied Print
ing Trades Council and we are doing
what we can TO rectify this error.
The stand taken by Ambassador
rage, the unions DelleNt, dClS as an III
spration TO other employers to take a
similar stand of antagonism to trades
unions. Recently a committee of the
pressmen went to see Page. and he
showed himself at the interview as n
bitter opponent OF organized labor.
I'VE oppose Page as an individual be-
cause of his antagonism to unions. bIN
this does not mean that we are taking
a stand one way or the other politically
with reference to the Wilson admin
istration. We are not committing our
selves either as the friends or the en-
erlies of the Wilson administration"
Edward f. Cassidy, organizer OF
Typographical Union No. Il. who is a
delegate to the Allied Printing Trades
Council, said that his union would op-
pose Page and ask for the cancellation
OF his appointment. He said that an
official statement Of the position OF his
union would probably be made to-day.
Corresponding Secretary Bohn of the
Central Federated Union announced
last night that he had written to the
American Federation OF Labor. asking
them TO request President Wilson to
cancel the appointment of Ambassador
Page.

Toxic. May 22.-The Mikado is grave

which the Empress and four physicians
were almost constantly at his bedside.
a high fever developed. There is Sc
rious anxiety in official quarters, as
his imperial majesty is very weak and
his lungs are badly inhamed and con-
gested.
The Emperor Yoshihito has never
been very robust. although he has in
terested himself in physical exercise,
as well as having become one of the
most learned men in the empire. Dur
ing his childhood he had several serious
illnesses, one of which caused chronic
debilitation.
The issuing of the bulletin admitting

that his majesty's cold has developed
Inflammation of the lungs was a great
shock TO the people of Japan. Eight
court physicians are in consultation
and each signed the public notification
Old Quarrels Not Dead.
Should the Mikado die at the present
POLITICAL juncture the dynasty itself
would be in danger. The Crown
Prince, Hirohito, is a boy of twelve,
and II is feared that old quarrels be-
tween the leading families would be re-
vived during long regency.
Apart from the California discus
sions. in connection with which his
majesty's voice has been constantly
raised for patience and peace, several
very difficult domestic questions are
pressing for solution. Appeals have
been made by demagogues for an i'm
mediate extension of the franchise to
the great number of adult males with
out the vote under the present system.
Conservative leaders fear that this
course would greatly weaken the sta
biity Of parliament and lead TO a dis
astrous interruption Of financial econ
omies. which are vital in order 10 re-
pay the debts incurred during the war
with Russia.
Protests against necessary taxation
and numerous industrial disputes also

cations is the continuous unrest of the
