people will witness a race between men

Butler Moran and one or two others are
the only riders in the world who can

are scheduled to appear on the Birming-

The lecture room of the Presbyterian
Church was not large enough 20 aeom-
modate the crowd that gathered there
last night TO witness an informal but
very pleasing program and TO enjoy
the straw berry festival as we'll as a
social evening.
The affair was most successful and
everybody enjoyed il. The rooms were
beautifully decorated in roses, orange
blossoms, daisies and locust blossoms,
and the air of spring time and good
cheer prevailed everywhere. In the
lecture room proper, red and white
was the color scheme, and all the
pillars were wrapped with crepe
paper in these colors Festoons were
draped from the gas jets diagonally
across tine ceiling from column To col
umn, aud the effect was very artistic.
A very pleasing program was render.

ments, consisting of ice cream, straw
berries and cake were served and the
supply was scarcely equal to the de-
mand, as ten gallons of cream had
been sold before 10 O'Clock. The en-
tertainment was most successful So

PRIOE ONE GENT
BOARD OF INQUIRYCONVENED
Charges Against Lieutenant Colo
mel Karmany, BY Com
mander Barton
Heard.

Commander WortLington. of the
Naval Academy, who is not attached
to the Academic Board. is presiding
at court of inquiry now being held
nc the Naval Academy in which a con.
tiict, of a more or less serious nature
between the Marine Corps and the
strictly naval branch of the service is
being threshed out.
While the board was convened for
the purpose of Investigating allegations
made by Commander j. k. BARRON. IL
,. N, against Lieutenant. Colonel l..
karamny, u. s. NJ. o., the matter
goes much deeper and a decision by
the board will have far reaching effect
ON the future conduct of one branch
of the service toward that of the other
branch
The story of the trouble which pre-
cipitated the present inquiry dates
back several mouths and has to do. to
considerable extent, with the turn.
ing down of Dale Barton, the son of
Commander Barton when that Young
man desired TO enter the Marine Corps
as second lieutenant. The fact that
the young man did not manage 70 en-.
ter the service is claimed by his faith.
er, Commander Barton. TO be due TO
certain unoalled for and unsupported
charges made by Lieutenant. Colonel
karmany against him.
The charges made nv Lieutenant
Colonel karmany are based ON "A con.
versation which it is alleged Barton
had with Second Lieutenant Yates, of
the Marine Corps. These charges. it
is claimed. were sufficient to prevent
young Barton entering the service aud
his father alleges that they were GU
tirely groundless.
The conversation occurred in the
narlors of local hotel and. il is
said, were overheard by third per-
son, who brought the matter TO the
attention of Lieutenant Colonel Kar-
many. The latter protested against
the admission of young Barton as n
second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps
and he was dropped.
The matter was permitted co rest
for some time and then charges were
preferred against Lieutenant. Colonel
karmany because of the fact that the
charges against young Barton were
not warranted by the facts. Ii is
claimed by the young man that in the
conversation in which he is alleged To
have made statements derogatory Co
the marine service, he said nothing
that could be construed as rejecting
on that branch of the service
The affair was carried to Washing.
ton and board of inquiry was con.
yened, at the head of which is Com
mander Worthington. The board will
have the double duty OF ascertaining
the exact nature OF the statements
made by Barton and also as to whether
or not Lieutenant Colonel Karmany
should have made use of the informa-
tion no had TO the detriment of young
Barton. Mr.. James M. Munroe has
been retained as attorney in behalf of
Commander Barton and il examining
witnesses. The saffair has been kept
vrey quiet and efforts were made TO
have the matter entirely disposed of
before it became known.
