SOMETHING WRONG IN NAVY.
Supporters Are Alarmed Over Suicides
of Younger Officers.

New York. Aug. The number
of United States naval officers who
have committed suicide, suffered
mental breakdowns, or disappeared
suddenly within the last year or two
have become so large that officials at
the Brooklyn navy yard will recon-
mend the appointment of a board to
inquire into possible causes. It is
stated that within the last twelve
months twenty commissioned officers
on active duty have either commit
ted suicide or disappeared. For to
10 years such cases have been on the
increase and within two years the in
crease, especially among younger Of
ficers. has been alarming.

noon at > O'Clock, and was called to
order by the president. Major T. J.
Henderson; Capt. 2. H. Coney, secre-
tary.
10. o. McCray. chairman of the pub
.licity committee, reported that he had
prepared and sent articles to the edl-
Ators of the leading newspapers of the
Estate, showing the extent and charac-
&er of the reunion and cornerstone lay
ling, and the plan of exercises during
the presidents visit to Topeka, and lay
hng of the cornerstone of the Memorial
FHall and Historical building. He said
1.-THE work was getting almost too great
ifor him. and asked for an additional
press representative to assist him in
keeping up the accumulated work OF
publicity that is upon his hands, which
was granted to him. He assured the
icommittee that he would devote much
iof his time for the next month to his
work as publicity representative of the
association, and that nothing would be
left undOne to call attention to the
Magnitude, grandeur and purpose Of
Hhe semicentennial celebration and
state soldiers reunion, and the presi-
dents visit and the laying Of the cor
'nerstone.
Mr. c. w. Kouns, general manager of

ION behalf of the committee on decora-
itions, stated that the Santa Fe offices

Capt c. H. Titus, chairman of the in
vitation committee. reported that the
Invitations were printed, and distribut-
ed a number of copies of them The
invitations are very attractive, and are
indeed as patriotic as they are impress
sive to those receiving and reading
them, and surely ought to attract the
attention of those getting them to the
extent that they will be present at the
Semicentennial exercises. It was de
cided to send the special invitations
sealed. so that there would no tamper-
ing with them.

A FATAL WEDDING RING.
WOman's Sentiment Caused Her to
Fall Victim of Blood Poison.

Chicago, Aug. Mrs. Jessie Stew
art Gardner is dead at her home be-
cause she refused to take her wedding
ring from her finger.
The gold band was placed on Mrs.
Gardeners finger on the day she be-
came a bride. It remained there I'M
til it had to be filed off, but the filing
was done too late.
Mrs. Gardeners finger had increased
gradually in size. The pressure of the
ring became correspondingly greater.
The ring finally became imbedded in
the flesh and caused an interruption
of the blood circulation.
With much reluctance Mrs. Gard
ner consented to have the ring filed
off. Owing to the delay, blood pois-
oning developed and resulted in her
death. Mrs. Gardner was so years

Man Entered.

New York, Aug. Alfred May. a
lusty-lunged hve-year-old from San
Francisco, saved the home of his
uncle on West Sixty-first street from

easy reach when he fed.
Alfred was sleeping in a bedroom at
one end of the house and awoke early
In the morning just in time to see a
masked figure sliding down a rope
from the roof to his window As the
man crept through the window Alfred
found his voice and screamed his loud

in clambering back up his rope TO the
roof whence he escaped. before the po-
lice could be summoned.

Thousands FaiI to Report.

The secretary Of state has finished
the long. hard job of listing the cor
porations of the state that have failed
to make reports to his office as re-
quired by law. There are 1926 de-
linquent corporations, which is to say
about so per cent of the corporations
in the state. These institutions are
sending in reports every day and as
they have two weeks longer in which
to come across, it is expected that
this large number viii be cut down
