GAP TAIN BOWER
 WILL APOLOGIZE
Trouble in Naval Social Circles Is Not Settled,
 However

Washington. April 22.-An apology from Capt. John M. Bowyer, superintendent of the United States Naval academy, to Miss Mary H. Beers and her father. Professor Beers, of Yale, has been or dered by the Secretary of the Navy for a sighting remark about Miss Beers made by some one at the academy as a re- suit of her attendance at a recent hop there. Miss Beers was governess in tho family of Lieutenant Tarrant and her escort was later informed that he should not have invited the young lady because of her position.
 In explaining the incident in a letter to Representative Korbly of Indianapo- lis. who called the matter to his atten- tion, Secretary Meyer said:
 "It grew out of a misunderstanding of the status of the young lady" The secretary expressed the regret of the de- partment and advised the congressman Of the instructions for a letter of apol- ogy. This letter, however, does not sat- isfy MT. Korby, according to state ment issued tonight.
 q asked for the facts" MT Korbly declared, "and the Secretary of the Navy has not given the facts. I shall repeat my request I also regret the incivility shown to Miss Beers and the inevitable embarrassment she has suffered, but an expression of regrets does not explain The newspapers have reported that a midshipman was reprimanded for invit- Ing a working girl to a dancing party Now comes the Secretary of the Navy and the superintendent of the school saying that the incident grew out of a misunderstanding of the status of the young lady Is 1t to be inferred from this that girls who take employment from necessity are to be excluded from the naval academy dances?''
 Tn his report to the department Cap tain Bowyer expressed his regret at the incident and his willingness to make a public apology
