that the people of this state may
know whetherIndians and 9TH

and whether one must take out
q license before killing a coyote.
Mr.. Clancy is frank to express
siis opinion Of the meaning Of

STADIUM GIVES
SHAKESPEARE AID
City Colleges Grounds
Lent for Features of
Celebration.

Difficulties Of the hackers OF the
Shakespeare tsrcentenary celebration
disappeared yesterday, when they re-
ctiyed permission TO use the stadium
Of City College for the most important
features Of the affair. Plans involving
,he use OF Central or Van Cortland
Pcrk we're at once abandoned and ar
rargements begun under which tempo
rary grandstands will be added to the
concrete stadium structure.
The only objection to the present
plan is the fact that Il will be found
impossible 10 seat the fifty thousand
men and women who are expected 10
witness the community interludes. "
The concrete half oval will be made
into a complete oval By the construc-
ton of temporary grandstands that
Will have maximum seating capacity
OF less than twenty thousand.
Under the present plans of the COM
mittee under whose charge the Shake

intention TO stage the community in
terludes in the centre OF the oval be-
tween great towers, from which lights
will be thrown upon the performers. It

satisfactory under this arrangement.

NO CHALLENGE ACTION
BY BARNARD DEAN
Miss Gildersleeve to Wait Until
Student Council Meets.

ISIS Virginia c. Gilderslecvc. dean
of Barnard College, made plain yester-
day that she would not take any action
against Barnard students holding
places on tho editorial staff Of the new
intercollegiate radical paper, "Chai-
lcnge.' until the matter had been
placed before the Student Council. She
denied that she had forced any Of the
girls to resign, although she had dis
cusscd with them the propriety of get
ting the consent Of the Student Coun-
Gil before joining the staff.
IL have not read n copy OF 'Chal-
lcnge' yet" Miss Gildersleeve said
nor have seen copy of it. Even if
had seen IL, | Yould have no com
ment 20 make.
when | first heard about the 'Chal-
lenge' summoned Miss Parker and
asked her about the paper. She ex-
planned its aims. and said thought
the Barnard girls should have FIRST re-
ceivcd the consent OF the council be-
fore associating themselves with the
paper. But have not asked them to
resign, and have not brought any
pressure to bear on them.

Mrs. E. g. Baker, of At

Eludes Sisters Watch.

Mrs. Estclle Garrett Baker. thirty
six, society editor and special writer
Of The Atlanta Georgian" killed her
self last night By leaping from a tenth
story window Of the Colonial Studios,
80 and Il West Sixty-scventh Street.
Mrs. Baker had been suffering from
nervous trouble, which had become so
serious that her sister, Mrs. Emma Gar
rett Boyd, had persuaded her 70 live
with her at the studios while consult
ing a nerve specialist in this city. She
arrived on Monday. and was me-. by
Mrs. Boyd and Dr.. Foster Kennedy. Of
375 Park Avenue. who advised Mrs.
Boyd TO watch her sister, but not so
closely as 10 alarm her. The physician
said she had undergone a severe ner-
yous shock and would not be able 10
control herself until she had a rest
Mrs. Baker appeared happy at break
fast She romped with Mrs. Boyd's
children and played the piano so cheer.
fully that her sister was not surprised
at her fatigue in the evening. when she
said she would not eat with the fam
ily. She retired TO her bedroom.
Fifteen minutes later taXicab
driver saw her body in front of his
machine and brought il into the apart
ment house. She was unconscious and
badly hurt and was clothed in a night
dress. Mrs. Boyd found no note in her
room. The window, which had been
locked, was open.
DR.. Nixon. Of the Polytechnic Hospi-
tai. said Mrs. Baker had sustained a
fractured skull. internal injuries, and
that both legs were broken. She died
at the hospital. The ambulance was
delayed en- route by a collision with
an automobile.
MS. Boyd said her mother had died
within the last year, leaving a large
estate 10 her and her sister. Shortly
sfterward Mrs. Baker married, but the
marriage, she said, had proved un-
happy, and her sister became subject
TO nervous spells.
Mrs. Boyd had persuaded her sister
TO come 10 New York for treatment
after 8 scene she caused at a society
function in Atlanta three weeks ago.
She had snatched an object from a
table and attempted 70 harm herself,
when restrained by other guests.
Mrs. Boyd refused to say what caused
her sister 10 take her life, except that
it had been considered possible that she
might make the attempt ever since the
affair in Atlanta. She animated that
she had lost a large amount Of the
money left her by her mother, and that
proceedings in one of the Southern
courts had preyed on her mind.

NEGROES TERRIFY

Studied |. w. w. Methods.

Passengers returning yesterday from
tho Danish West Indies on tho steamer
Parma told thrilling stories that en-
phasized the seriousness Of the strike
now in progress In the islands. Recent
labor troubles have reopened the ques-
ton of the United States purchasing
the Danish possessions. but according
to these passengers, this country would
find itself with a hornets nest on its
hands were the deal consummated at
once.
Danish officials and other white resi-
dents are living in fear OF violence
from the negro laborsrs. Martial law
has been declared in several towns an
cities, while marines from a Danish
cruiser have landed and armed the pub
lie buildings and banks. Machine guns
command strategic corners leading TO
the financial centres. while cannon
sweep the open approaches 70 the gov
eminent Offices. reign of terror has
swept the entire Danish territory.
J. +. Quinn, Of st. Cstharine's, Canada
was among the passengers on the
Parma.
"More than 10000 persons are az
fccted BY the strike" he said. THE
negroes have asked for an additional
shilling day wages and their demands
have been refused.
at the head OF the irsurgent labor
crs is negro named Jackson. He paid
visit to the United States recently
and spent some time studying strikes
as conducted here, laying special stres 5,
evidently. on the tactics OF the l. W
". lie is native. gifted with ability
20 organize and command. Shortly
after his return the strike began,
when the negroes began making trou-
bic plantation owners drove them from
their property. With their women and
children. they ncckcd TO the cities,
principally to Frcdcriksted and Chris
tiansted, where the women and chill
dren are now being fed and sheltered

According 70 the Rev. Dr. !. II. Sat
tis. OF Brooklyn, vino spent some time

Of Boston. plantations are deserted ex-
cepting armed guards. Both men de-
clared they drove through the country
and saw evidences Of vast fortunes
being lost because of the strike. Their
carriages passed miles and miles OF
cane sugar. ready to be cut, but which
probably will prove total loss.
Driven from the plantations when
their first mutterings Of unrest
alarmed the planters, the negroes have
fockcd to the cities. Their numbers
soon became so large that martial law
was declared The sale of liquor vas
stopped when it was learned that the
mob was easier 70 hold in check when
sober. At times a general uprising
seemed imminent. which, If once under
Roadway, passengers on the Parma
thought. would develop into a race war.
The number OF white residents IS
comparatively small compared to the
number OF blacks.
