VICTIM OF SNOBBERY
The Wife of a Civilian Was
Ostracized On Govern

Trouble is in store for the officers of
the transport Solace, If any attention
is TO be paid by Secretary Morton to
the complaint that will be forwarded
to him BY Mrs. j. M. Costello, who
arrived yesterday as q passenger on
the SoIace from Manila.
Discrimination and humiliation
were the lot of Mrs. Costello, accord
ing to Der statement, because she was
the wife of civilian of no special
prominence. Mrs. Costello and her
little son have been visiting her hus-
band, who is o government employee
ut Cavite. She secured passage home
on the SoIace, and was supposed to be
entitled TO all the privileges enjoyed
by the other first-class ksaloon passen-
gers.
Social requirements on board the
Solace wee such that Mrs. Costello,
being unknown to the ward room OFF,
GERS, failed to get recognition as q
passenger having equal rights with
the others She says that Lieutenant
j. j. Knapp. executive officer, in q
rude manner had informed her soon
after leaving the Philippines that she
would not be allowed to use the deck
except on the extreme after part.
Astonished at this information, Mrs.
Costello asked the reasons. and was
told that it was rule of naval ves-
sci and must be recognized.
So, throughout the long trip of 5000
miles from Manila, Mrs. Costello was
restricted to the limited Espace for sit
ting or walking, while. as she says,
all the other women on board had full
privileges OF the ship Captain Ball.
of the Solace, as well as Lieutenant
Knapp, admitted the truth of Mrs.
Costello's statement, but said that she
was not Disseminated against 1t is
true that she was restricted to the
afterdeck," said Lieutenant Knapp,
"but it was because she was not in
vited socially to the ward room. "

of Mrs. Oostello's department and
character, but she was practically os-
tracized during the voyage. She is
determined to place the matter before
