Relative TO the new eommissary store
al the navy yard, this statement regard
ing the firm Of Bieber-Kaufmsn. was
printed in an interview in The Wash
ington Herald yesterday: Before the
establishment OF the store. our trade
with the navy set was extensive. OF
course il the officers are saving money
through the venture, ] do not blame them
for patronizing the store" This paper
was in error In making the quotation. as
Mr.. Kaufman gave no interview on the
subject.
At the Bieber- Kaufman store yesterday
Mr.. Kaufman said his firm has always
been on friendly terms with the navy
folk and hoped TO continue these rela-

The new general store al the navy
yard which Is now the subject Of local
discussion. has been in operation only
about a month. and up TO this time it Is
handling groceries only
It is intended wholly for the benefit Of
naval officers and their families residing
in Washington, who constitute no small
percentage of the city's population, and
for the benefit Of the marines and enlisted
men.
Adequate safeguards. it is said. have
been provided TO prevent the general public
from sharing in the BENEFITS OF the gen.
eral store. Although stiu in its expert
mental stages, Il Is expected that its
scope will steadily enlarge until Il be-
comes a big establishment. Contrary TO
the original report, the store Is conducted
with the full sanetiOn and approval OF
the Bureau OF Supplies and Accounts.
Whether the system Of thus providing
for the needs Of the naval officers and
their families will become permanent
one will depend upon the success of its
operation.
Provided In Law.
The general store is established under a
provision in the naval appropriation bill
for the fiscal year 1910, as follows:
Provided. That hereafter such stores
as the Secretary of the Navy may desig-
nate may be procured and sold to officers
and enlisted men of the navy and Marine
Corps. also to civilian employees at naval
stations beyond the continental limits
OF the United States and Alaska. under
such regulations as the Secretary of the
Navy may prescribe"
There has been no secrecy whatever
touching the operation of the store. Under
date OF October Il an official circular was
issued, signed by Capt f. &. Beatty. L.
S. N. eommandant and superintendent Of
the naval gun factory. promulgaring gen
eral instructions relative 10 commissary

sary store at the navy yard.
The store is open for business fre1n 3
a. IN. to D. M. Sundays and holidays
excepted. and the store has telephone
communication with the city.

listed men of the navy and Marine Corps,
active and retired. are authorized TO make
purchases from the eommissary store but
such purchases shall be confined to the
needs OF their immediate families. Excess
sive purchases of provisions by officers
or enlisted men living at hotels or board
ing houses are not permitted.
To guard against abuses and as a
means OF identification. permits are issued

NOTES HERE AND THERE
BY MYRTLE MILES

Lady Lillian Grenfell. who was expected tc arrive in Birmingham tomorrow with her husband, MT Cecil Grenfell of Lon don, England has abandoned her south ern trip, according to dispatches received yesterday afternoon by MT. James Bow ron.
 MT. Grenfell and Lady Grenfell were to have been house guests of MT. and Mrs Bowron and a week of charming hospitality was in prospect. Mrs. Bowron planned to welcome Lady Grenfell with a breakfast Monday morning at the Coun- try club and had issued .her invitations for the event and made every prepera- tion. She stated last night. however. that her invitations are recalled owing to the telegram received yesterday by Mir Bow ron.
 Other entertainments which had been planned for MT. Grenfell and his wife will also be abandoned. MT. and Mrs George B. Mccormack, MT. and Mrs M V. Joseph, MT. and Mrs. A H. Ford and MT. and Mrs. Otto Marx were among those who planned to entertain at din- her or in other fashion for the English visitors.
 MT Grenfell will arrive In Birmingham Tuesday or Wednesday morning. As he comes without his wife his visit will be a business rather than social one. The regret at Lady Grenfells failure to visit Birmingham will be general and sincere Mrs. Bowrons prospective breakfast guests feel especially disappointed. This is the only entertainment to which any of the guests had been bidden. Most of the invitations had been received and accepted and Mrs. Bowrons hospitality Is known to be charming.
