 Fire trucks going to put out n smaH blaze in a dormitory started it all. Many students coming out of the movies followed the fire depart ment. The fire was out before the trucks even got there. but the campus was crowded with students who felt they had been cheated out of some excitment.
 It was suggested by someone that, although Princeton students had been barred from voting in the com- ing election. at least they could 70 and tear down the banners on Nas- sau street.
 Dean Gaus appeared and tried to vain to quiet the students.
 After the banners had been torn down and distributed in little pieces as souvenirs, the crowd blocked the Lincoln Highway and rocked New York to Philadelphia bus back and forth. giving the paOengers . mo- ment of excitement. A trolley car received similar treatment.-but 1t was harder to sway.
 The undergrads descended on the jaii.-but they met their Waterloo there. University proctors, gathered in a'grim line at the lookup. turned back the students
 They all sighed and went home.

INDECENT INSULT CHARGED

Washington. Oct 20 R-Gov. Theodore G. Bilbo of Mississippi was the recipient today of a singing message ( Sfensure from Herbert Hoover's l. aeral headquarters be- cause of a statement attributed to him that the republican presiden- tial nominee had danced with a Negro woman of Mississippi-a statement which was br> pded as indecent and ''unqualifi| ,lse." Gets sharp Ret George Akerson, Mr/ o. sistant. took cognizance ttao s< credited to the governor in & IH, 2 newspapers and telegraphed to .4k, one of the sharpest messages of the campaign.
 You are quoted by the press in the south." Akerson said. "as having stated in a public address that Her. bert Hoover on one of his flood re- lief trips got off the train at Mound Bayou, Miss, and paid a call on a colored woman and later danced with her.
 That statement is unqualifiedly false. There is not the slightest foundation for it. It is the most indecent and unworthy statement in the whole of bitter campaign" Was With Hoover Asserting that he was with Hoov- CT every hour of the four months while he was engaged in the flood" the nominees assistant declared that the then secretary of commerce gave all that was in him to task necessitating experience and in- fluence which no other man in the United States possessed and for which the gratitude of the state of Mississippi was unanimously. ex- pressed by its legislature" Akerson said Hoover was never in Mound Bayou except for . three minute stop of lis train there and that he never left the platform of the train. but received a memorial from the negro people of that vi- cinity flor the service he had rem dered their race"

 This was the second time during the campaign that Akerson had talk en cognizance of attacks levelled at the republican nominee. Hoover and his associates at general head quarters have been silent under as- saults from .he camp of the oppon- ents on campaign issues and this silence has been broken only when matters were brought up which in their judgment had nothing to do with the campaign.
 The first statement issued by Ak erson was after Senator Bruce, democrat. Maryland, had stated in speech that Clarence Darrow, not ed criminal lawyer. has said he had had drink with Herbert Hoover. The nominees assistant said Hoover had not taken a drink since he be-
