The Dillon herald. [volume] (Dillon, S.C.) 1894-????, 1911-06-15

An army officer has been severe
ly rebuked by the president for say
ing that a young Jewish subordinate
who had risen from the ranks to a
Ieutenancy was unfit to associate
with the other officers because his
father was a tailor at the post and
therefore of inferior social standing.
1t is pity the president did not have
the power to administer something
more than rebuke. A man with
SO little sense has no business with
a commission in the army and the
sooner he is kicked out the better
for the service. Snobocracy is some
thing that real Americans do not
tolerate anywhere. and at West
Point, an institution belonging sole
y to the people and supported en-
tirely upon public money, is a place
that one would least expect to see
1t. Therefore a snob should be
fired out of the army like a man
afflicted with the plague

LEADERS NOT ALARMED.
Christian Scientists Discuss Contest
Of Mary Baker Eddy's Will.

NEW YORK. January 13.-New York
oflicials Of the Christian Science Church
profess themselves to be not alarmed
over the announcement that tho mother
church In Boston may lose the $2.00O. 900
which Mrs. Eddy intended should revert
to 1t upon her death. The following
statement was given out by Eugene r.
Cox. chairman Of the Publication com-
mittee Of the Christian Science Church
In this state:
while no one seems to, have looked up
the other side Of this matter and deter
mined whether or not the opponents OF
the will have overlooked something. we
are quite sure that Gen. Henry NJ. Baker,
the administrator. will take whatever
steps are necessary In opposing those who
appear to be so anxious to thwart tho
wishes OF Mrs. Eddy.
80 far as the cause OF Christian Sci
ence is concerned. the final disposition
of that 100000 matters very little. It
really makes no difference to the cause
one way or the other. Tho cause has
grown to its present stage without the
money In question. and It. would DO rjdic-
ulous to suppose that 1t viii not keep on
going without the beQuest."

CRYPT AT ANNAPOLIS
FOR JOHN PAUL JONES
Senate Unanimously Passes
Bill Carrying an Appropria-
ton of S135, 900.

The bill providing for the completion
Of crypt in the chapel of the Naval
Academy and a permanent resting place
for the body Of John Paul Jones was
passed by the Senate this afternoon.
The bin directs the Secretary of the
Navy to have estimates and plans for
the work prepared, and that the plans
shall be approved by the superintendent
OF the Naval Academy and the Secre-
tary Of the Navy. An appropriation of
$135.000 is made to carry out the work.
No Opposition to Measure.
When the bill was reached on the cal
endar this afternoon Senator Rayner of
Maryland. the author of the bill, rose
from his seat to meet any objections that
might be raised. But no opposition de-
yeloped and the measure went through
with absolutely no discussion.
This legislation was recommended by
the Senate committee on naval affairs,
and it based its recommendation on those
made by President Taft In his message
ent session, and OF the Secretary of the
Navy in his last annual report.
Two Secretaries Approved.
The committee also called the attention
Of the Senate to the fact that two previ-
Gus Secretaries OF the Navy, Victor H.
Metcalf and Charles ]. Bonaparte. rec
commended such action by Congress.
The bill now goes to the House for its
action.
