APOLOGY TO MISS BEERS.
Said to Have Been Sent by Naval
Academy Superiutendent.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. April 25.-It has
been learned that Capt J. NJ. Bowyer,
superintendent Of the Naval Academy,
has forwarded to Miss Mary H. Beers,
daughter Of Prof. Beers Of Yale Univer-
sity. letter OF apology for the action
taken by one Of the academy officers,
who suggested to her midshipman escort
that by reason Of her employment she
should not again be invited to an acad-
envy dance.
The letter was not made public, but it
is understood that Miss Beers was as
sured that the action was due entirely to
a misunderstanding Of her status.
In connection with the affair. it may be
said of the body OF the midshipmen that
they were not In sympathy with the atti-
tude apparently assumed by some Of the
academy officers in this matter It is the
frequently expressed opinion Of the cadets
that a midshipman has a right to bring
any respectable woman to q dance, no
matter what her employment or social
status may be.

Burns Says Prisoners
Directed Many Crimes

NEW YORK. April 25.-The New Yorh
American today prints the following from
Detective William j. Burns:
I'm my investigations here and IN Tifnn
Ohio. today I got fresh evidence fasten-
ing guilt for the many dynamite outrages
upon John J. Mcnamara Of Indianapolis.
secretary OF the International Association
of Bridge, Structural and Ornamental
Iron Workers: his brother. James w.
Mcnamara Of Cincinnati, q member OF
the same union, and Ortie e. MECHANICAL
of No. IA South Sangamon street, Chi
cago, also a union iron worker.
IT state emphatically to the public that
the case against these men as directing
and executing the series Of dynamite and
nitro-glycerin explosions. including those
in the Los Angeles Times building. the
Lucas Bridge and Iron Company at Pc
oria. ILL.,; the McClintic- Marshall Con-
struction Company. at Buffalo. n. Y:
Hoboken. n. j., and Pittsburg, Pa: the
municipal building at Springfield. Mass.
the 1roquois iron works. at South Chi
cago: the Llewellyn iron works. at Los
Angeles; the Ame1can Bridge Company.
in New York. and the Western Fuel Com
pany. at Milwaukee, is fully and legally
established by irrefutable evidence.
THE case against these men I have
named is legally complete.
Scores will be involved, but demands
OF justice will not permit me to give in
formation as to these others at present.
This is the most astounding, wide
spread, most cold-blooded and most dis
astrous conspiracy to destroy property
and human lives ever exposed in the
United States. 1 can assure the public
that only the stern demands of justice
and the good of the public has guided
me In pointing the finger of cOndemna-
ton at these labor leaders.
Il beg the public to accept my assur-
ance that the statement of President
Samuel Gompers of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor. that the picking out Of
these men has been part Of an attempt
TO 'asSasSinate union labor is absolutely
untrue and unwarranted.
THE bare, unadorned facts will con-
vince all honest union labor men that
these men are guilty and unworthy of
sympathy"

in Dynamiting Case

Officials Of the Department Of Justice
and also the Treasury deny published re-
ports that governemnt detectives were
connected with the case against the men
accused of the Los Angeles dynamiting
and other outrages.

the protection of the President and the
detection of counterfeiting. At the De-
partment of Justice it is denied that any
of the secret service agents employed
there were called into the case.

MAY HELP A FRIEND
TO GET A VACATION
One Feature of Offer of Free
Summer Trips Made by
The Star.

A feature OF The Stars offer to give
residents Of Washington free vacations
this summer Is that any one not desiring
to take personal advantage Of 1t can at
ford some one else a most enjoyable time
by cooperating with others and obtain
ing a required number OF subscriptions.
Imagine the grateful surprise Of one
who had not expected to go away for
more than q week-if that long-to be in
formed that a paid-for trip is in readiness
whenever it can be most conveniently
taken!
It is well to encourage generosity in
childhood, and an especially striking OBJ
ject lesson in this trait could be furnished
by having children of ones household and
their classmates work to give their day
or Sunday school teacher free vacation
The excitement Of reporting progress and
the self-importance Of conducting q cam
paign appeals to them immensely. Find
ing subscribers among friends would be
a needed rest away from town and with
out having to draw upon her modest
salary.
Can Prove Popularity.
In nearly every school there is a deadly
rivalry among classes concerning the
popularity CT their instructors. No surer
method of proving who is best liked could
be found than to have him or her receive
the first free trip.
Each pupil knows the newspaper SYM
pathies Of It's own home, and can speedily
get list OF regular subscribers.
The trips offered are certainly attrac-
tive enough to create keen desire for
them.
Free transportation both ways and a
fx.r, nf a
the New Jersey or Long Island resorts
listed in The Stars vacation trips will
appeal to many teachers.
Half week at Mountain Lake Park
during the summer chautauqua will
sound good to every teacher interested
in that work and, indeed, to everybody
who has a conception of the GOODNESS
and charm of the place.
