MISS ALICE ENGAGED.
Announcement Made by President and
Mrs. Roosevelt at White House.

Washington, d. C-The engagement
of Miss Alice Roosevelt to Congress
man Longworth of Cincinnati was an
bounced at the White House at 43O
Wednesday afternoon in the follow.
ing official statement:
Tie President and Mrs. Roosevelt
announce the engagement of their
daughter, Miss Alice Lee Roosevelt, to
Mr.. Nicholas Longworth. Tho weuulng
will take place in the middle of Feb
ruary."
Miss Roosevelt and Mr.. Longworth
met in Washington little more than
two years ago, when Mr.. Longworth
first came to congress, and since that
time they have been constantly thrown
together in social functions. They
were two of quartet of young peo.
pie who practically led the younger
poeiul net. Countess marguerite cas-.
sini, daughter of the former Russian
ambassador, and the Viscount de
Chambrun, secretary of the French
embassy, We're the other two.
There were dinners at the Russian
embassy and then at the White House
Mrs. Longworth, mother of the con-
gressman, was frequently the chaper-
one. and her home soon became the
center of the ultra-fashionable young
er set at the capital.
Many declared that Mr., LOngworth
was more devoted to Countess Cassini
than to Miss Roosevelt, and others
were equally sure that the Vlscount
been given TO the Presidents daugh'
ter. The viscount's brother, Count de
Chambrun, is the husband of Mr..
Longworth's oldest sister.
Society soon began to see how mat
ters stood, and then any one who
wanted Miss Alice Roosevelt as din
ner guest saw to it that Mr. Long
worth's name also was on the list
Early last spring Miss Roosevelt went
to Cincinnati to visit the family of Mr.,
l.ongworth A few days before her eX-
pected arrival, Mrs. Longworth, moth
er of the congressman, went abroad
and it was said that Miss Roosevelt's
visit had something to do with her
sudden departure. But this was de-
MED
When it was arranged that Miss
Alice should go to the Philippines
everybody wondered what Mr.. Long
worth would do. This was quickly
settled by an early announcement that
he was to be one of the party. From
the Philippines and Japan the persis-
tency of the Ohio congressman and
the evident pleasure with which it
was viewed by Miss Roosevelt, were
cabled back.
Only a select few of the party were
taken on little side trips arranged for
Miss Roosevelts pleasure, but Mr.,
Longworth was always one of the par
ty, and thousands of snapshots always
showed the Ohioan close by the side
Of the Presidents daughter.
Since Miss Roosevelt and Mr.. Long
worth returned from the Philippines
they have been almost constantly to-
gether, except during the time Miss
Roosevelt was in New York and on
her visit to her grandmother in Brook
line, Mass

Hazlne at Annapolis.

Annapolis, Md. - Notwithstanding
the testimony of witnesses before the
Meriwether courtmartlal to the effect
that hazing is no longer practised at
the naval academy, a case occurred
there Tuesday night.
The victim was Midshipman Jerdon
Pettus Kimbrough of Germantown,
Tenn. He was last week called before
q board of officers, now in session at
the academy inquiring into hazing,
fighting and similar practices, and was
compelled to answer certain questions.
1t is said that he had also told some
relatives that he had been hazed, and
that the relatives laid the matter be-
fore the authorities.
The hazing was on account of these
two things. Klmbrough was compell-
ed to stand on his head, then on his
feet and then on his head again, re-
peating this process for 10 minutes
continuously.
At the end of that time he tainted
and was left in that condition by the
hazers. Later he was found by his
roommate, still unconscious. In the
morning he was carried to the hospital
but Is now doing well.
Admiral James H. Sands, superin-
tendent of the naval academy, had
the matter investigated by a board of
officers. Their report showed that
Midshipman Tenmer Coffin, Jr., of Car
son City, New, member of the third
class, took part in the hazing, and that
Midshipman Warren A. Van Diver of
Mt. Holly, N. j., of the second class,
was on duty and did not report the
occurrence.
Admiral Sands Immediately sus-
pended the midshipmen and forwarded
his recommendation in the matter 10
the secretary Of the navy.

santn nomlnuo treaty.

Washington. santo Domingo
treaty was referred back to the com
mittee on foreign relations by order
of the senate in executive session.
Senator Lodge renewed his former
motion that the foreign relations COM
mittee again be given an opportunity
to consider the convention.
It Is understo I'd that 1t is the de-
sire of the administration that the
treaty be modified by striking out the
provision authorizing the President to
send an armed force to santo Domin-
go. II at any time necessary, to pre-
serve peace and order in the repub-
lie,
It is the belief of friends OF the
treaty that II this provision were re-
