KILLED IN XMAS
FESTIVAL PANIC
False Alarm of Fire Causes
Panic in Hall.
"a BODIES IN CHASTITY ROW
Perhaps Dozen Other Corpses
Thought To Have Been Taken
Away BY Friends and
Relatives.

Calumet, Mich-Fourscore persons,
mostly children, lost their lives at a
Christmas celebration by copper mine
strikers in an Italian hall because of
needless panic caused by false
alarm of fire.
While several hundred miners and
their wives looked on, the children
pressed eagerly toward the stage to
receive Christmas presents. At that
instant man put his head in at the
door of the hall and yelled Fire."
The cry was taken up by those in
the hall. Everyone rushed for the
doors. The weaker were thrown to
the floor and those behind tried to
climb over those ahead of them.
A merciless, frightful scramble, a
desperate fight for life ensued. The
narrow exits soon become completely
choked upon the shrieking and frenzied
humanity. Cries of agony, mingled
with the screams of women and chill
dren in mortal terror, filled the air.
The principal exit was narrow
stairway at the back of the hall. When
this had been cleared of the bodies
that filed it to the top and quick
accounting had been made, it was
found that "A corpses were piled up
beside the building. 1t is thought that
a dozen others were carried away by
friends.
Victims Mostly Children.
The dead included 81 girls, 19 boys,
Is women and men.
Excited men and women stood about
the building, some dazed by the sud
den change from holiday festivities to
tragedy, others calling Historically for
missing children and a few even,
threatening violence to the rescuers
for keeping them back from the long
row of bodies.
There was not much work for the
many doctors who hurried to the scene
as soon as the alarm was spread, for
those not killed in the first rush were
held upright and safe by the very
force of the onrush toward the exits.
Only three injured persons were
taken to hospitals and few went
home with assistance of friends.

At FREE TOLLS
Troublesome Canal Problem
Again in Congress.
A TWO YEARS SUSPENSION.
The Measure introduced BY CHAIR
man Adamson and Referred
To His Own Com
mittee.
A TWO YEARS SUSPENSION.

| ington.-Chairman Adamsoh'
of the House Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee, struck his hrst
blow at free Panama Canal tolls for
American coastwise vessels.
In a joint resolution he proposes a
suspension of the existing law for free
tolls to American ships for two years,
IGat the cost of operation OF the Pan
ANA Canal may be ascertained. Dur
ing these two years American ships,
coastwise and ocean freighters, must
pay the same tolls as all foreign ships,
The President of the United States
is given authority to pass on the re-
lative cost of using the Panama Canal
and its maintenance, and at the end
of two years may decide whether the
tolls thus collected will be more than
sufficient for maintenance of cost of
operation of the canal. In this event
the President is to enforce the law for
free canal tolls for American ships.
The Adamson resolution was refer
red to his own committee. He has
been beaten twice on a like PROPOSE
tion. and the committee membership
mas not been changed in the last two
years.
Adamson's resolution provides:
THAT lne operation and enforcement
of the following provision: No tolls
shall be levied upon vessels engaged in
the coastwise trade of the United
States, which provision is the second
sentence in Section Five of the act en-
TITLED, An act to provide for the open
ing, maintenance, protection and
operation of the Panama Canal and the
sanitation and government of the
Canal Zone approved August "a, 1912
shall be and hereby is suspended sub
ject to the following conditions:
cat any time after the Panama
Canal shall have been opened and sue
cessfully operated for two years, if, il
the judgment of the President, the
revenues derived from tolls of vessels
other than those engaged in the coast
wise trade of the United States, shall
be sufficient to defray the cost OF
maintaining and operating the canal
and the expense of government and
sanitation of the canal zone and all
diplomatic questions touching the
treatment Of vessels as to conditions
or charges of traffic at the canal shall
have been adjusted, then the Presi
dent is authorized to issue an execu
tive order declaring such suspended
exemption of full force and effect
From the date of such executive order
such exemption shall be allowed and
enforced, but until such executive OF.
der shall have been issued the vessels
engaged in the coastwise trade of the
United States shall pay the same tolls
required of other vessels"

Washington.-It is understood by
the officials here that the elaborate
welcome accorded to Senior de la
Barra by the populace of Toxic was
particularly designed to express the
dissent of one of the Japanese political
factions from the official reception
planned by the government.
In his capacity of special envoy
from Mexico to acknowledge the par
ticipation of Japan in the Mexican cen
1ennial. diplomatic etiquette provides
for certain formal functions in honor
of Senior de la Barra. The Japanese
government, it was explained here, had
adhered strictly to the regular court
ceremonial in such cases prescribed.
A faction opposed to the government,
hSNegeTf arranged s reception of its
own, including a torchlight procession,
speechmaking and sword presentation.

A procession was then formed and
proceeded to the hotel, where Senor
de la Barra is staying. After the
crowd had serenaded the visitor, a
committee of members of Parliament
and other popular leaders mounted the
balcony, where de la Barra greeted
them amid prolonged cheering.
The committee presented to the visi-
tor sword and other gifts, which he
acknowledged briefly and then called
dor cheers for the emperor and the
Japanese nation.
The procession later marched to the
Mexican legation and the Imperial
Palace, in front of which another
meeting was held. A resolution was
adopted criticising the United States
dor discriminating against the Japan
ese and expressing disapproval of
Japanese participation in the Panama
Pacific Exposition at San Francisco.
AT dinner given at night by the
merchants of Toxic in honor of Senor
de la Barra, Baron Maxine, the foreign
minister, in a speech favored the
strengthening of trade between Japan
and Mexico.
The opposition press is attacking
