DEPARTMENT MAKES OBJECTIONS

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 49,
The naval department is determined
to protect naval titles from commercial
contamination by their use for adver-
Using purposes, and Civil Engineer F.
c. Prindle, U. S. N. (retired who
makes his home in this city and who
draws the pay of rear admiral by
virtue of civil war service, will be
required to change the name of the
Admiral Prindle Mining company The
officer was officially reported recently
for ''reprehensible conduct" in making
use of the naval title in connection
with a business concern.
1t was considered particularly OBJ
jectionable that he used a title which
he really had no right to employ in
connection with his name under any
circumstances. A defect Of the pro-
ceedings seems to have been that the
recommendation of departmental rep
rimand of Prindle was made before
that officer was permitted to make his
Defence which alleged that he, al
though president Of the mining COM
pany, had nothing to do with the Sc
lection of it's name.
At the same time the navy depart
ment has entered it's emphatic pro-
test in a letter to Prindle and in
formed him that steps must be at once
taken to change the name of the COM
pany.
Prindle will be obliged to do this or
run the risk of disputing the orders
Of his superiors. Naval officers are
much interested in this case on &C
count of the recent discussions of the
use Of line titles by staff officers, al
though in this particular instance
there is no question raised of Civil
Engineer Prindle's right to the title
of rear admiral
1t is pretty we'll known that he has
no authority officially to employ the
title, and in either event neither he
nor any other officer will be permitted
to make use Of naval titles for bust
ness exploitation.

BANGOR, Me, March 16.-Several
hundred delegates to the annual meet
ing of the state council of the Order of
the Daughters of the American RevO-
luton, which opens here today, have
arrived here, and large attendance
is expected at the convention. In for
mer years the meetings Of the state
council were held in January, but the
date was changed in the hope that it
would be possible to induce a larger
number Of delegates to attend the
meetings Last year the session of
the council had to be postponed on
account of a terrific storm and, unfor-
tunately, the weather was not much
more favorable at the time when the
meeting actually was held. The local
chapters of the order have made ex-
tensive preparations for the reception
and entertainment of the delegates
from other parts of the state and have
arranged for a number of social func-
tons.

General Bates, chief of staff, In a

woman who, for sentimental reasons,

LOS ANGELES, Cal, March 16 -
Arbor day is observed here today with

schools are closed. For weeks the var

of the city have been preparing for
the day and their committees held
frequent sessions to arrange every de-
tail of tn exercises. The citizens
warmly supported the efforts of the So
cieties and today's celebration is more
general than it ever was before.
