 Are Various.

New York. N. Y.-In an official statement authorized by Rear Admiral Charles N. Vreeland and given out by Capt. Thomas s. Rodgers of the bat tleship New Hampshire, the number of the New Hampshire's sailors who are believed to have been on the battleship's sailing launch when it filled in the Hudson Saturday night and who are still missing is set down at 29. Eleven members of Saturdays liberty party off the New Hampshire who were not known to have been in the sailing launch, but who are still missing, were noted in Captain Rodg CTS list
 Captain Rodgers gave out his state ment after the expiration of the last liberty party's shore leave. He said that the names published in the list of missing represented a careful pro cess of elimination made in eonjunc- tion with the calling of the entire ships roll.
 On board the flagship Louisiana Rear Admiral Vreeland convened a court in inquiry to determine the ex- act cause of the accident and place the responsibility. A number Of the men who were on board the il-fated boat told their stories, and a report of the findings of the court. when completed will be forwarded to the navy department
 Various suggestions as to how the accident occurred were in circulation. The generally accepted one, however, was that the barge, heavily loaded with sailors and marines, returning from shore leave, was caught in the heavy swells from passing steam boat. Rising for moment like a cork, the barge then plunged into the trough between two waves, one of which broke over the side and swamped it.

NEW EDITOR CAUSES
SCHOOL SENSATION
Freshmen'S Editor of Univer-

Equanimity of All.
censor TO BE APPOINTED
NO MORE BALLADS ABOUT
THREE GOLDEN HAIRS.

Even though their embryo efforts IN
journalism brought down upon their
heads the wrath Of the faculty and the
criticism Of the older students Of the
university. the freshmen who last
week tried their hand at editing THE
Chronicle" Utah's collegiate weekly,
the young men feel that at least their
efforts did not go unnoticed, and that
It is better to have written and have it
read, than never 10 have written at
all.
With Editor-in-Chief ]. R. Fergu-
son at the inkwell, and his all-star
staff Of associates and reporters gain
cred about him in conference, tie
freshman class set out to get out an
edition of The Chronicle which would
fairly sizzle and. according to what
happened after the paper went TO
press and was distributed, the young
men accomplished all they set out To
do.
The freshmen edition was newsy
and also breezy-too breezy, the fac
uIty thinks.
With true newspaper breeding, the
edltor-in-Chief is standing by his stan
and is shouldering the responsibility
for the cOuplet which pathetically de-
Ecribed three blonde hairs on the head
of the janitor; the bit of blank verse
which referred tenderly to the frecklc5
on the face of the registrar, for which
the editor advised the application of
'spot-knocker," but the unkindest cut,
and the one which caused trouble for
the editor and his staff was the allu-
sion to a marriage at the university
which was abruptly frustrated by the
passing of Halley'S comet
The other effuSiCnS were mere dauhS
at journalism, compared with the jim
gle cooked up by the editOr-in-chief
on the near marriage.
AS a result of the sensational edi-
ton put out by the freshmen class,
the faculty has de sided upon a censor
ship hereafter. A A. Anderson OF the
student body has announced that he
will appoint a committee, consisting
OF three members of that body and
two members OF the faculty, to be
known as the Blue Pencil Commit
tee," which will hereafter look overt he
copy before it is ssnt to the printer.
Anent the freshmen's editor Of the
university publication, the associated
student body yesterday adopted reso-
lutions, extracts from which follow:
Whereas. The Journalism put forth
by the students Of this university has
been Of a character that reflects dis
credit upon the university in that the
Chronicle during the past few weeks
has contained material supposedly hu-
Dorous, but actually vulgar
ZEE it Resolved, That we, the asso-
ciated students of the University of
Utah, use our influence to prohibit the
repetition Of such deplorable action in
the future"

TROUBLE FOR MADRIZ.
State Department at Washington Said
TO Be Incensed.

Washington, May 27.-State depart
ment officials are much incensed at
the statements contained in two cable
grams reported to have been sent to
President Madriz at Managua by Senior
Louis Corea, his representative in the
United States, regarding conditions
under which the steamer Venus, now
the Nicaraguan gunbcat, obtained her
clearance papers at New Orleans.
These kilograms seem to show con-
clusiVely that the Venus was intended
as a war vessel to operate against the
revolutionary forces on the east coast
of Nicaragua, and that when she sailed
from New Orleans she carried pro-
visions and implements of war.
This is contrary to the evidence said
to have been given by the representa-
tive Of the MadriZ government before
the United States court. There is rea-
son to believe the matter will be
turned over to the department of JUS
tice.
