STUDENTS’ PRANK.
OOMMUNIBT FLAG RAISED. . ON SUPREME COURT BUILDING. ‘‘DOWN WITH CAPITALISM 1 " United Press Assn.— Elec. Tel. Copyright. (Received May 8, 11 a.m.) WASHINGTON, May 7. The Red Flag of Communist Russia, with a hammer and sickle, was discovered at dawn to-day flying from the flagstaff above the new and Imposing Supreme Court building- At the base of the pole was a copy of the Harvard University students’ humorous publication, •* Lampoon,” containing an article entitled " Down Wilh Capitalism ! ” A regular guard composed of four men passed by the flagstaff all night, yet the pranksters not only succeeded in raising the emblem unknown lo them, but so skilfully knotted the halyards that the removal of the flag necessitated long labour by police and firemen, who were compelled to employ a high extension ladder before they could tear down the emblem.
