visitor emerged from his hiding place

thing he could throw. It happened to be
a large bottle OF vaseline. With all his
strength he let It fly. and Il struck the
negro squarely on the head, BURSTING

NO INFORMATION REGARDING
 GERMAN CRUISER EITEL.
British and French Cruisers Still Wait
 ing Off Virginia Capes.

Washington, March 1S-No informa- ton will be made public by the United States government which might in any way aid British and French cruisers waiting off the Virginia capes to catch the. German converted cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich if her commander should decide to make a dash for the high seas from Newport News.
 \ State and navy department officials made ittclear today that they intended to overlook no point in preserving the tfe refugee ship. Secretary Daniels said he had received a partial report from the American naval officers who inspected the EILel with a view to ascertaining the extent of repairs necessary to make her seaworthy and expected to receive a final report in the course of a day or two. He an nOunoed in advance however, that he would not make public the conclusions of the board, either as to the amount of repairs necessary or the length of time they would consume.
 Counsellor Lansing, at the state de- partment, which must serve notice upon the German commander of the extent of his privileges, also declared positively that the state department whatever from this time on regarding the Eitel Friedrich.
 If the captain is authorized to make repairs, and begins to do so, there will be visible evidence of his inten- tionS, though naval officers recalled today that the commander of the Ger man gunboat Geier, after making ex- tensive repairs at Honolulu, allowed his ship to be interned.

UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS RESENT PRESIDENTS DISMISSAL Fourteen Have Resigned at Salt Lake
 City.

Salt Lake City, Utah. March 1S- Fourteen state university professors resigned today as a result of the atti- tude expressed by the board of regents in a public statement upholding the recent dismissal by President J. T. Kingsbury of four professors and de- motion of the head of the English de- partment. The fourteen were headed by Byron Cummings, dean of arts and sciences. Other resignations are ex- pected.
 Feeling throughout the state has been strong since the dismissals. The fact that all the five men affected by the presidents action are non-Mor- mons leads to a belief that religious or political considerations caused the action. This is denied by the state ment made public by the regents to- day. The statement comments Presi- dent Kingsbury and says that two of the dismissed professors had criticized tho administration of the university, had spoken disparagingly of the chair man of the board of regents, and that the positions of two others had been abolished. The statement intimates that the denoted professor, who had been connected with the university for B years, had become impaired in vigor. He was appointed honorary pro- lessor of English.

TWO INJURED IN WEAVERS'
 STRIKE AT SUMMIT, N, J,
One Man Shot in the Leg and An.
 other Stabbed in the Eye.

Summit, N. J., March 1S.-Two men were injured today in clash of fac tory workers outside the mill of the Summit Silk company, where 175 weavers, men and women, had just gene on strike. Muggerdich Gulamer- ian was shot in the leg and Bramley H. Abdener will probably lose the sight of an eye as the result of knife gash. Eight arrests were made.
 The strikers say they "quit work because the company refused to dis charge" four men who, the weavers claim, were brought here in anticipa- tion of a strike. Negotiations between the workers and company officials for adjustment of wages and hours had been in progress, but papers in settle ment had not been signed.
 The men arrested after today's dis turbance included two of the four over whom the trouble is alleged to have started. Thirty-f1ve other men who, the strikers assert, are strikebreakers reached here after the disorders at the mill. The plant was placed under guard and the company announced it would be closed until Monday, and perhaps longer.
