GOVERNORS ISLAND TAKEN
Army of Girls and 7th Regiment
Victorious at Fete.

Governors Island was captured by two
armies yesterday afternoon. One was an
army of girls and women in fluffy summer
gowns, and the other was the 7th Regi-
ment, in immaculate white trousers, gray
blouses and nodding shakos. The soldiers
on the island capitulated instantly, for 1t
was the annual garden party of Branch
No. 1 of the Army Relief Society. and on
the day that takes place everything the
society does goes on Governors Island.
When the members of the society, which
counts on this fete for share of the
money with which to aid soldiers who are
in need, awakened yesterday morning their
hearts sank as they saw It was the same
old weather that has been frustrating comet
searohers the last two weeks. Before
the party began, however, the sun was
shining brilliantly II was a pretty picture
when the crowds had gathered. Flags
were everywhere futterfng among the
green trees and trailing their folds from
the post buildings and on the grass Deco
rated tents were everywhere too and under
the tents were grab bags for the children
and fortune tellers for the older people
and all sorts of things for sale, from ice
cream and soft drinks to military hatpins.
General Howe, commander of the De-
partment of the East and Mrs Howe. as
sisted by Mrs. Daniel Lamont. received the
guests. There was music by the 2eth Regt-
ment Band, and there was unlimited dane
ing at the officers clubhouse There was
also an exhibition Of Moro weapons, eating
utensils and garments brought from the
Philippines. and yourg Filipino in native
costume to show them. But when the 7th
Regiment began to do military stunts out
on the parade ground and the files of
white trousers twinkled up and down the
green grass none of the other attractions
had any show at all.
The officers of the society were encour-
aged by a check for $500 from Mrs Russell
Sage. The booths brought in a pretty good
revenue. too. Captain and Mrs. Dore had
charge of the Moro exhibition. The fortune
telling was managed by Mrs. Dickson. as
sisted by Miss Lucy Binnie and others
Among the guests were Mrs and Miss
Gaynor, wife and daughter of the Mayor;
Mrs. Artemus Ward Miss Charlotte Hard
ing, Mrs. George Wingate, Mrs. Henry
Bischoff and General and Mrs Charles F.
Roe.

asking for the appointment of commission
to investigate every phase OF the liquor
traffic. with special reference TO Interstate
commerce between the wet and dry
states When asked who would appoint
the commission If the bill became a law.
Mr. Bennett replied that the Speaker of
the House would do that.
Some one mentioned the name of Speaker
Cannon. and il was roundly hissed. and an
Oklahoma clergyman called the appoint
ment of the commission a subterfuge 10
delay action on the interstate commerce
law Mr.. Bennett could not rest under
that aspersion. and in vigorous speech
he defended the bill so satisfactorily that

and its bay and mountains and hied us
to Rome by train. We found ourselves
in busy busting, up-to-date city. We
entered the new port, so were little
surprised, as it's hard to disassociate
Rome from antiquity.
We went to ST. Peters first. You've read
of it, heard of it. talked of it, but you
can't imagine the grandeur. massiveness
and splendor of this great old church
Just as we arrived the bells were ringing
for mass and when we went in a service
was being held in one of the chapels.
An organ in the distance was leading
the choir, while all around was an at
mosphere of reverence and the regal
splendor which was awe-inspiring l had
never dreamed of anything so grand.
Much of the trimming and decorations
were by Michael Angelo, paintings by
Raphael and others.
The tomb of st. Peter is the most gor-
9eous imaginable-all bronze, solid gold
onyx, alabaster and marble. One of the
doors is decorated entirely in solid gold
and some of the things were taken from
6olomon's temple. All, it is wonderful,
awe-nspiring, to be in the presence of
such art! The Vatican is adjacent and

OFFICERS IN MARINE
CORPS ARE CENSURED

Washington, July 16.-Personal strife
among the officers Of the United States
marine crops today reached Gil
max when the navy department, as
the result of court of inquiry, sent
letters OF censure to nearly all the OF
ficers concerned.
No further judicial proceedings are
contemplated.
The censured officers are MAJ. Gen.
George F. Elliott, commandant OF the
CORPS; Col. Charles H. Lanchheimer, in
spector; Col Frank Denny, the quar-
termaster at Washington; Col. Charles
A. Doyen, commanding officer of the
marine barracks at the naval academy
at Annapolis; Lieut.. Col. Thomas c.
Prince, assistant quartermaster at
Washington; Lieut. Col Henry C.
Haines. assistant adjutant and inspec-
tor at Washington, and Majors Lewis
G. Magill and David d. Porter, assist
ant adjutants and inspectors at Phil
adelphia and Washington, respectively.
The court held that General Elliott
had been profane, irritable and irasci-
| be and at times indulging fmmoder-
ately in intoxicating liquors, but never
| intoxicated while on duty, but some
times failed to treat subordinates Win
| courtesy becoming them. 1t is al
| legged he was polite, generous, truthful
and a plain, blunt soldier, open and
frank.
General Elliott was paid tribute
| by the court for telling the whole
| truth, even to his detriment, 1t is SAID
| and he was suspicious of nothing thai
would tn1ure himself and gave ready
testimony when confronted by his &C
cusers who attempted to drive him
from office. What added greatly to his
temperament was disease of the right
ear, the doctors declared, which In
trinity does not appear to have been
generally known to his subordinates
He worked for the good of the service
and accomplished much, but failed to
maintain discipline at headquarters. To
