KISSED UNIVERSITY EXECUTIVE.
President Of State University in Wis-
consin Drived From Stage.

Madison, Wis, May z6.-'I some
times wonder whether the state is
justified in supporting this institution,
considering the class OF students at
tending it" Bravins a storm OF Kisses
and jeers, President Van Hise. of the
State University, thus scored body OF
riotous students at a special convoca-
ton in Library hall. He sought to con-
tinue his denunciation, but renewed

tically was driven from the platform.
The meeting broke up in the greatest
disorder and number of the students
declare they will leave for their homes
before the jubilee celebration of the
university, which is to be held next
week
The trouble arose by reason Of a
statement made at the prejubilee BAN
quet several weeks ago, when President
Van Hise declared the examinations at
the close of the present semester would
be set aside and all demerit marks re-
moved because Of the celebration. Yes
terday he published a signed card in
the university daily newspaper, criticis-
ing the students for their lack of humor
in taking his statement seriously and
declaring the entire matter was intend
ed for a joke.
Yesterday the campus was placarded
with posters bearing disrespectful
references to President Van Hise and
Genouncing the celebration in honor Of
the ffftieth anniversary of the founding
of the university and the formal in
auguration of the president. President
Van HiSa accented the cha1lenva un
opened fire on the students shortly
after the special convocation COM
menced.
Almost instantly there was scene Of
wild disorder, Several members Of the
faculty and two students strove to quiet
the studerts, but to no avail Their
pleading was met by shrill Kisses, and
the angry university men used books
and fists with which to beat upon their
desks and add to the din.

Grand Duke Cyril clinging to the ertd

great ship put her head down and
plunged straight to the bottom.

bridge and ais she went down he looked
up and saw the stern with a hungered
seaman clinging to it towering above
him. He was carried far below the
surface but suddenly shot up by the
escape of imprisoned air from the ship.
He caught pile of wreckage and es-
