here this morning warning Republi-
cans against participating In the Sem

that any large number Of the party
are considering such a step. He points
to the fact that by entering the prirn-

selves to support the nominee and that
instead Republicans should seek to
place their own candidate In the field,
organize their forces. and strive to
maintain party integrity.
No Republican he says. should

of party that refuses to Republi-
cans tho right to select even their NIL

Judging by its record" said Mr.
Slemp. In conclusion. the Democratic
party should no longer be entrusted
with the government of Virginia and
II IS quite evident, from statements ap-
pearing In various Democratic papers.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 2s.--A
/ hot reply to Secretary OF the Navy
, Meyers letter transmitting report
I in the Miss Beers case" was made
by Representative Korbly democrat,
, OF Indiana to-day after he received
an extract from me report submitted
by Captain J. NJ. Bowyer, superin-
tendent of the Naval Academy on
| the affront offered Miss BE srs at a
! cadet hop and an intimation that the
incident was closed so far as The
Navy Department was concerned. The
Indiana representative replied:
You say the dance was a private
subscription hop paid for by the ca
dets, and that you directed the sup
erintendent OF the Naval Academy to
apologize to Miss Beers and her faith
er because Mtdshipman Burtis, who
escorted her to the hop, had been
cautioned privately that 1t was not
copsidered fitting that midshipman
should take 4 nurse, maid or a do
mestic servant to a social func ton
at the academy
The superintendent of the Naval
Academy in his report says.
Nothing was known of the young
woman beyond the fact that she was
nurse girl In the employ of an off,
GERS family and no reelection was
cast upon her character
can hardly refrain from saying
that 1t was very considerate that the
young lady's character was left to her
and no doubt her family and friends
are duly grateful. 1t is well known
that many young women take en-
pioyment as nurse girls and that they
contribute out OF their earnings to
the support OF the government Are
these young women to be forever ex-
Guided from polite society because
they have taken employment, 1t
may be so In England and in the
Beacon Hill annex, but II IL no. so
In the United States.
Gives Meyer Hard Rap.
Since you have been kind enough
to give me advice concerning this
matter. / trust you will allow me to
advise you that public opinion in
the United States has esta blished the
status of the American working wo-
man quite as firmly as the double
finding of seven rear admirals Of the
United States. acting as a court-mar-
tial. has established the status of
Captain knight, Of the United States
Navy.
Your assurance that the incident
Is closed. SO far as the Navy De-
parsment is concerned, coupled with
the suggestion that il Is due to the
young lady and her family that they
be spared the annoyance of further
publicity. suggests the following OBJ
seryauona. .s.. ~
FIRST. that you solicitude for the
young lady would probably have
been more appreciated at time when
the embarrassment was not mantle
