the house today resumed considcra-
ton of the naval appropriation bill
the members were primed for the
usual fight Owe the increase in the

Speaking in support of an amend

(Missouri) declared that If there was

was unwise and unnecessary it was
now.

Representative Tawney. chairman
of the house committee on appropria-
tons, vigorously attacked the program
for naval increase, %attributing the
present japanese agitation to the de-
sire to nave the naval program adopt
ed. He declared there was no dam
ger of trouble between Japan NJ the
United States and hat without a naval
base in the ~mid-Pacihc Japan could
do little damage to this country. He
contended hat Japan could not inn
pose a farthing more of tav without
creating a revolution in that country.
Mr.. Tawney in his remrks predict
ed a deficit of 1925, 000. 900 for the
present fiscal year and OF $143, 000,-

A MONG the social endeavors of last season at
Newport were plantation dinners, and in the
past there have been balls with circus features at
the farms" of Reginald and Alfred Vanderbilt and
TAR and lawn fetes, where the young women have
appeared as Swiss peasants and dairymads. Short
y after Count Boni de Castellane married Anna
Gould he gave celebrated oriental fete to the
entire Newport set, and this affair, with it's ac-
coutrements and foods, really marked the
beginning OF extraordinary entertainments at New
port
While Mr.. and Mrs Cornelius Vanderbilt were
living at Beaulieu the William Waldorf Astor
villa, they brought entire theatrical company
from New York, and stage erected on the
lawn. The Wild Rose" had been playing sue
cessfully at the Knckerbocker theatre, and Mrs.
Vanderbilt arranged for the transfer of the en-
tire company scenery and costumes, to Newport.

of this season may be cited. Newport, for some
time has badly needed pubic Fairgrounds for the
children, but the local people could not seem to
