League Island SOciety Trouble May
Involve Philadelphia.

Involve Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 1L-Soeiety
leaders here are taking a liTely interest
in the social tempest at League Island
Navy Yard, and the split caused by the
wife Of Admiral Sumner may extend 10
the city.
The officers who are upon Mrs. sum
ner's blacklist have many friends in the
city and the quarrel promises to become
a pretty one.
It is understood that the officers have
made arrangements to give dance next
week at one OF the halls in the city The
last time they attempted to give one at
the navy yard. Mrs sumner secured the
Marine Band 10 play at her house for an
alleged musicale. but there seemed 10 be
a mystery as TO whom she had as guests
The trouble started in a dance given by
the officers AT the navy yard one month
ago. Mrs. Sumner thought she should
have been consulted as to the plans. and
finally inserted a notice in the newspapers
70 the effect that she knew nothing about
the AFFAIR. She remained at home. and
kept her two daughters OF home and since
that time she has ceased entertaining.
Before the trouble she gave dances
every Friday evening. The admiral ap-
pears much worried, but says he knows
nothing about the fuss"
