clent collins can be brought here to-
day, the seventy-three victims of the
panic Christmas eve in Italian Hall,
at Red Jacket, which was caused by
some one yelling Fire." will be
buried.
But the ugly question: who was
responsible for that false alarm?"
will not be so easily disposed of.
1t was heard in whispers yester-
day while the bereaved stood outside
of the hall, biIck despair in their
hearts, and demanded some child,
some woman or some man from the
row of bodies inside.
By night the whisper was sullen
muttering, as the strikers repeated to
each other: I'VE don't want help
from the citizens or from the mine
owners; we took care of our own
when they were living; we can take
care of our dead, now"
Every effort is being made to sup
press the question. New stories are
being invented to account for the |
panic One Of them is that child |
set his cap on fire with some Christ |
mas fireworks, and the sight of the |
trifing blaze as his father carried |
him from the hall caused the excite |
ment that resulted in death.
But Mrs. Caesar, 431 Kearsarge
street, positively declares she saw
the man who pushed his head in the
door of the main hallway and hoIler-
ed Fire" She declares she grabbed |
him by the. shoulders and tried to
hold him, realizing what would hap
pen, but that he pulled away from
her and ran down the stairs again.
On Christmas eve the strikers and
their families had gathered in the
hall to forget the long and bitter war
waged between them and the mine
operators.
There were seven hundred persons
in the hall. The Christmas exercises

S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MURDER OF
THE CHILDREN AT CALUMET?

his appearance on the stage and the
distribution of the gifts was about to
start.
Then a man thrust his head in the
front door and shrieked the word
that started the mad rush for the
stairway. Mrs. Caesar shouted a de-
NAL, but her words we're drowned in
the cries of the panic stricken for
eigners.
The stairway became jammed with
mass Of bodies. Little children of
five and six years were swept in front
of the panicky crowd and sent tum-
bling down, their lives crushed out at
the bottom of the stairs when hun
dreds of others were piled down on
top of them.
A big man, mad with fear, his fists
doubled, fought his way over the
bodies of women and children to the
head Of the stairway, but there he,
too, was unable to withstand the rush
and he was sent tumbling to death.
Mothers seized their children and
fought like maniacs in their rush for
the doorway. Men and girls tore and
pushed at each other.
The more level headed attempted
to queIl the riot with reassuring
words, but there are many languages
spoken in the copper country and
their efforts were misunderstood.
After the worst of the panic had
subsidized, passing citizens tried to en-
ter the building and were blocked by
the solid mass of bodies at the foot
of the stairway. So tightly were they
wedged in that it was necessary for
firemen to climb into the second
story windows and attack the pile
from the top.
In several instances, whole fani-.
lies were wiped out by the disaster.
Fifty-four families suffered the loss
of one or more members.
A mass meeting of the citizens was
held Yesterday to devise ways and

Cumming thought he had found evil
dence in marks upon the ground that
the adult bulls did stretch themselves
out at full length for a few hours rest
ut about midnight, but he contended
that the young and the cows always
remained on their feet
Another authority, Selous. has ex-
pressed doubt whether even the old
bulls lie down. He tells OF one herd
that was known to have kept moving
and feeding throughout the twenty
four hours Except when rolling in
mud and water" he says, ut is likely
that an African elephant never lies
down during its whole hfe."
However this may be, the most com
petent authorities seem to agree that
this animal sleeps less and more light
ly than any other. ]. L. Kipling, the
father Of the writer, estimated the Pc
Rod OF slumber taken standing up to
average about four hours in the TWEEN
ty-four, and this estimate has been en-
ployed by the son in an amusing pas
sage for one Of his stories, Mot Guj,"
wherein the sleep Of the elephant Is
represented as consisting Of an hours

IMMIGRATION lslNAIR
Writer'S Explanation Of Vital Differ
ence Between the Londoner
and tho New Yorker.

"The difference between New
York and London" a man once said
to me, us this: In New York, IL you
have a new idea, you can get it car
ried out at once; in London, If you
have a new idea, you are up against
q brick wall"
i believe this to be true, writes
Maurice Barring In the Metropolitan.
People in New York, and in America
In general, are not afraid Of new
ideas, nor, indeed, Of anything new.
They are not afraid of the future. In
England, If a man finds, for instance,
that his profession Is uncongenial to
him, however certain he may be of
the im~possibility of his making q sue.
cess of it, he will none the less very
rarely give 1t up, and try his hand
at something else. The future alarms
him In America a man will think
nothing Of throwing up his profession
twenty times running, until he finds
something which does suit him.
l think the cause Of this particular
difference lies In the climate Of Amer
lea, and especially lies in the climate
of New York. Just as the climate Of
some places fills the whole system
with an invincible desire to do moth
ing, with an in%superagle languor and
sloth, in the anne way the climate
of New York fills the body and mind
with the desire to be up and about.
1t is the nimble air which produces
the nimble wits; the stimulating at
mosphere which creates, in the deni-
zen of New York, the love Of hustle,
hurry competition and work. I am
not saying this Is either a good thing
or a bad thing-I am merely noting
and recording what struck me as be-
Ing the main differences between New
York and London.
