Hazing At University May Be Revived,
Hazing will probably be re-establish
ed at the University of Pennsylvania
next year. Such action is being con
templated by the Undergraduate Com
nilttee as a result of the "freshness
of this year's Freshman class, the
members of which havo refused to
abide by the set of rules governing
Freshman conduct The "Pennsyl
vanlan," the student dally, is advocat
lng the change and practically all the
upper classmen are back of the move
ment In days gone by It was cus
tomary to give obstreperous Drst-year
men a bath in the frog pond near Ham
llton walk. With the elimination of
Lazing several years ago, this method
of chastisement was dropped. Instead
there was substituted a set of rules
prohibiting Freshmen from smoking
cigarettes, wearing moustaches, enter
ing College Hall by the front door and
compelling them to wear skull caps,
At the recent Sophomore cremation
ceremonies, on which occnslon each
first year man is supposed to throw
Ills Hack cap Into the flameB that are
consuming the effigies of the profes
sors, tne Freshmen disregarded a
tradition of more than twenty-five
years by putting their caps Into their
jKjekets, meanwhile yelling doflantly
at the upper classmen. It was this
that brought the agitation In favor of
the re-establlBhment of hazing to a
head. The members of the faculty
are, as a rule, opposed to hazing, but
the students say they will be won
over. Complaint is made Uiat the
Freshmen do not know the- college
songs and yells and that they do not
try to learn them.

Washington, D. C. The United
States has demanded of the Huerta
Government news of the fate of Private
Parks, the Amorican infantryman who
strayed into Mexico lines near Vera
Cruz, declaring that unless information
about him was given immediately the
American Government would consider
that "an unfriendly and hostile act"
bad been committed in violation of the
understanding for a cessation of war
like moves pending mediation.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan, drafted a strong communica
tion after receiving word from the
Brazilian Minister in Mexico City that
Parks had been "executed."
No mention was made in the Minis
ter'a report of whether he was shot as
a spy after a court-martial or whether
his body was burned, as has been per
sistently reported to General Funston
The American Government cabled the
Brazilian Minister to inform the
Huerta Government of the strong feel
ing of the United States in the mat
ter, directing him to make vlgorou
representations concerning the inci
dent
The note asked the Minister to pro
test to the Huerta Government that if
Parks were alive the failure to explain
his whereabouts was in Itself an un
friendly attitude, and that If the sol
dler has been executed, as hns been
reported, such execution of a mnn who
came into the Mexican lines in full
uniform was contrary to military pro
cedure of civilized nations and an act
of hostility.
No mention was made In the Ameri
can note of the course the United
States intends to pursue in the mat
ter, but an official close to the Presi
dent said it was one of the things
which would be held up against the
Huerta government when the final
reckoning came over the offenses com
mitted against the United States.
The three South American mediators
had reeclved no communication from
the United States about the Parks
incident and persons In the confidence
of the President said the affair prob
ably would not interfere with the be
ginning of the mediation proceedings
though It wat recalled in many quar
ters that the United States accepted
the tender of good offices with the
reservation that no hostile acts toward
Americans should occur while the
negotiations were in progress.

Other buildings within a radius of a
mile were more or less damaged. The
loss was estimated at $50,000.
Among those who escaped were John
II. Evans, superintendent, and John C
Treadwell, manager of the plant.
Just what caused the explosion prob
ably will never be known. In the
mixing room was a large vat of molten
rubber being prepared by a secret pro
cess, witnout a moments warning
the building was torn to pieces. Every
man who was in the mixing room at
that moment was killed.
Masses of cement and concrete were
found several blocks from the scene of
the explosion. Nearby buildings were
battered by the hall of flying stone and
hundreds of windows broken. Several
pedestrians bad narrow escapes. A
short distance from the rubber factory
was the plant of the Commerce Motor
Car Company, which was badly dam
aged. The company manufactured imita
tion leather and it is understood that
ether and other explosives were used
in large quantities. Because of the
secret process of preparing the crude
rubber, employes were not allowed to
leave their department to enter other
parts of the plant Few of the em
ployes knew each other and it was
some timo before the victims were
identified.

Claims For Indemnity.

The Spanish Ambassador Asks Bryan
What Can Be Done For 800 Span
lardt Ejected From Torreon
By Rebels.
Washington, D. C A phase of the
complicated Mexican situation that at
tracts much attention in ofilclal circles
here was the embarrassmont which
success brings to the Constitutionalists
In the form of demands for compensa
tion for losses to foreigners within
their sphere of Influence, which foreign
governments are pressing with lncreas
lng force tle further the Constitu
tlonallsts establish themselves as re
sponsible masters of Northern Mexico,
Spain takes a particular interest in
this question of compensation, many
Spanish subjects having submitted
complaints against Carranza and his
subordinates for confiscation or de
struction of their property, forced
loans, Imprisonment or ejection from
the country.
The Spanish Ambassador called at
the State Department to see what
could be done for 800 Spaniards ejected
by the Constitutionalists from Tor
reon. He also has a bill to present for
$20,000,000 worth of Spanish-owned
cotton, alleged to have been confiscated
by the Constitutionalists at Torreon
Diplomatic and legal measures to
prevent the export and sale of the
confiscated cotton are preparatory to
steps to secure either the return of
the cotton to the original owners or
payment for it. It was declared in
diplomatic quarters that no market for
this cotton could be found in Europe
even should the Constitutionalists at
tempt to export it from Tamplco.
"Forced Loans."
"Forced loans," levied upon foreign
era in Mexico, furnish further occa
sion for Btrong diplomatic representa
tions the nearer General Carranza
comes to establishing a government to
which such representations can be ad
dressed with prospects of success.
The case of William S. Benton, the
British subject killed at Juarez, also
looms threateningly on the Constitu
tlonnllst horizon.
Though much interested here In the
sudden displacement of General Maas
in command of the Federal forces out
