the United States giving expression to
the feeling with which alleged atroci-

ACID USED IN COLLEGE RUSH.
Frank Melnnes Struck in Eye With Il
and Nav Lose Sioht,

San Francisco, CAL, Sept. 21.-ln a
fierce rush between sophomores and
freshmen at the University of Cali
fornia Saturday Frank McInnes, a
freshman, received dose of acid in
the face and will probably lose the sight
OF an eye.
McInnes was in charge Of the ballot
box at lha freshman election when the
sophornores rushed the place They
wrecked the room, tore clothes from
many OF the freshmen, and some ma
licious fellow threw an acid, some OF
which hit McInnes in the left eye.
The acid was apparently vitriol, and
1T would have burned out the eyeball
had not the injured boy rushed to a
faucet and thrown water into the in
jured member. The oculist can not tell
as yet whether he can save
the eye, as the acid has eaten into the
corner and film has formed over
the pupil
The outrage has excited the univer-
sity, and President Wheeler is making
an investigation. He proposes to pun
ish the students by prohibiting the use
OF any university buildings for meet
ings. The first victims are the sopho-
mores, who can not use hall for a
dance next Friday night.
