news of this reached the public there
was such a storm of criticism that the
plan was abandoned. 1t was said, how
ever, that Dougherty suggested that
Tate be paroied instead.
While these developments were talk
ing place at the penitentiary, prepar-
ations were being made in Peoria cOun-
ty for the arrest of four other persons
believed to have been accomplices of
Dougherty. All the evidence had been
obtained and it was being kept in the
safe at the library building
Robbery Follows His Release.
Then came Tate's release. the blow
ing of the safe, the disappearance of
the papers, and the abandonment, for
the time, at least, of the prosecution of
Dougherty's accomplices. 1t was be
lieved at the time that somebody con

BARRED THE BLUE-JACKETS
ACTION OF PARK AUTHORITIES
NEAR JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.
Virginia's Governor Notifed-Law
Department of the Navy Consider
ing the Facts in the Case.

| Discrimination again the blue Jacket
| uniform of the navy al the dancing pavilion
| of the Pine Beach and Amusement Park,
| a resort adjacent to the jamestown expo
J sition. has led Secretary Metcalf to vgor-
| Gus action.
| Complaint was made to the Navy Depart
ment by Lieut. j. V. Ba bcock, commanding
! the torpedo boat TruXton, May 10. The
substance of this report and position taken
by Secretary Metcalf in the matter is given
| by him in the following letter to Gov.
Swanson of Virginia, dated May 90:
Gov Swanson Notified
This department is in receipt of an un-
official report from the commanding officer
of the United States steamer Truxton,
dated Pine Beach, Va, May Is, 1907, with
regard to a case of disrespect to the service
uniform which has occurred during the So
journ of the fotila off Pine Beach.
The commanding officer of the TruXton
states that the dancing pavilion OF Pine
Beach Park refuses admittance to men in
blue jacket uniforms, at the same time
granting unqualified admittance to soldiers
in uniform. On receipt of complaint from
well behaved and self-respecting men of
| tn" vessel frst-class petty officer was
instructed to apply for admittance and If
refused to the manager and ask reasons
| for such actions. Such direction being car
ried out, 5. +. Lane, gunnerS mate of the
| first class was, on the 18th instant, refused
admission to the dancing pavilion. the man
ager stating that under circumstances
would men in blue jacket uniform be adj
mtted; that the men were not objected to,
, but their uniform was. and that If they
| wished to go in and dance other clothes
would be furnished them. Request was
made to see the other clothes mentioned,
and the petty officer was shown a dressing
room where stock of white clothes were
kept very much similar to the regulation
| mess attendant uniform. On being in
| formed that the matter would be reported
| to the proper authorities, the manager
stated that the action would do no good
and would be waste of time
| This park is advertised as being under
! the management of the Columbia Amuse-
| ment Company, Inc. w. f. Crawl, presi-
| dent.
| AS the navy is doing everything in its
| power to make the exposition success.
| your attention is invited to this instance
| of apparent discrimination against the
| service uniform and it is believed that some
| action should be taken thereon by with
| holding license or otherwise. If such
| practices be permitted the result will this
! department feels assured, prove highly
| prejudiCial TO the naval service by causing
| the uniform of the navy to be looked upon
| with disfavor.
| Commencing the matter to your earnest
| attention, | shall be glad to be advised
| of such action you may deem it appro-
| pirate TO take in the premises it being
| done III this connection to be of value must
| be done without delay
