To PROBE SNUB
AT ANNAPOLIS
housekeeping Will Follow Pub
lie Apology to Prof. Beers
Daughter, at Naval Academy
Especial from United Press)

New York, April 26-Although Miss
Mary Beers. daughter of Professor
Henry A. Beers of Yale University,
who enjoys the distinction of being the
first woman to whom the Naval Acad-
envy authorities have been compelled
to make public apology, regards the
incident closed, officers at the Brook
lyn Navy Yard said, today, that the
case would not be dropped. They
pointed out that the Navy Depart
ment is aroused over the evidences Of
snobbery at Annapolis, an institution
hitherto considered free of this.
One vital result, they predict, will
be a general housekeeping there.
This will probably be postponed I'M
til next summer so that the real rea-
son may be disguised. but officers
familiar with the situation say that
the development has hurt the academy
so much in the eyes of the American
people that only the transfer of every
officer involved in the snub to Miss
Beers can meet the situation.
Miss Beers, at the home of her
brother. Henry A. Beers, In Brooklyn,
said, today, she hoped she had heard
the last Of the affair. She declared
she knew nothing of the matter until
she read in the newspapers that a
MILDLY who escorted her to a dance
had been reprimanded because he in
vfted a girl who was a governess in
the family of Lieutenant Commander
Tarrant." She said she demanded an
explanation and finding that her es-
ccrt had been virtually sent to coven-
try for insisting on his right to escort
her anywhere "even if she did work
for living" she demanded that her
father take steps to secure redress.
She insisted, today she did not leave
Annapolis because of the snub and
said IL she felt like it she would re-
turn there later.

It was announced today however
that the Armory has been secured,

new GIANT CUNARDER
LARGEST VESSEL EVER To
ENTER BOSTON HARBOR
Especial from united Press }

Boston, April 26.-An epoch in the
maritime history of this pert was
marked, today, when the giant Cum
arder Franconia, the largest vessel
that ever entered the harbor warped
up to her berth. This liner, which
brought 5000 voyagers, is the newest
addition to the Cunard fleet. AL
though not so large as the Maure-
tania or Lusitania, she makes the
other craft in the harbor look like toy
boats. Bostonians got the best idea
of her dimensions when they learned
that If she were dropped lin fremont
street she would reach from the Park
street subway entrance to Keith's and
from keel to pennant is almost as
high as Bunker Hill monument

The Meanest Man.

We've heard about the man 80
mean that he would skin flea for
the hide and tallow. And about the
man so mean he'd steal swill from a
blind pig. And the man 50 mean
he'd use a wart on the back Of his
neck for a collar button. In fact.
we've heard about all kinds Of mean
men, but one day las, week We saw
the very meanest man that ever
doomed up before our eyes.
Every day when there H. n league

boys gather behind the grandstand
and wait for the foul balls to come

bit late In getting to the game he
never misses 'em hen he Is In town
and as he approached the ball park he

came sailing over. Did one Of the

Engine Hits Auto.

Peter Fell. OF Farragu', Ia. a
brother Of Henry Fell, Of Liberty
township, was killed and Clara Coy,
and Marie Harmon, also OF Farragut,
and Olga Ream, of Shenandoah, Ia.
were seriously injured, when the Bur.
lington engine on southbound train
2O,struck an automobile al Increasing
north OF Phelps, Mo-. on Saturday
last, july -, about ll:+O u. m. The
dead and injured were taken to st.
Joseph on the same train, and Miss
Coy died the same evening from the
injuries.
There were live persons In the III.
fated car, three women and two men.
The nth man Of the party saved his
life by jumping when the crash came.
The injured persons were members
Of a party touring from Farragut,
Ia. to Langdon, Mo. There were
four automobiles, and the first three
had crossed the tracks safely.
Just how the accident occurred Is
not definitely known. Several wit
nesscs are Of the opinion that the
driver Of the machine did no, see the
approaching train until II was upon
the party and then vas unable tC
stop In time.
The train had slowed down a. II
was approaching the station and 1t l.
believed that this alone saved the
entire party from instant death. The
automobile was reduced TO scrapiron
by the force of he collision.

II hope Oregon will roll upa big

and no, one against II. Even II crops

An Experiment.

The long continued dry spell put
our citizens especially the business
men, to thinking, and they thought
and thought along the line of how to
get rid OF the dust In some way other
than the sprinkling process. The
matter was put up to Acting Mayor
Benton. who put II up to his colleagues
Of the council. and they took up the
matter and II has resulted in having
test made Of the practicability Of
using oil on our streets.
Friday the work began and Wash.
ington stree, from Missourito George:
Nodaway from Monroe to jefferson
and Main from Nodaway to Missouri
taking IN the east. west and north
side Of the square, are being treated.
The oil has been spread and por.
tion of these streets are now being
used. The stree, Is first scraped and
the loose dust removed 10 the side.
and the oil Is sprinklrd over the hard
surface of the road and spread by use
of brushes SO as to make the oil a.
even rs possible. Following this the
dust formerly removed Is spread over
the oil surface and allowed to remain
for - hours before the stree, Is open
for travel.
About unc.half gallon Of oil is esti-
mated TO the square yard and 1t Is
claimed two OF three applications a
year are needed 10 keep down the
dust and keep the road IN a hardened
condition. The oil costs about y
cents per gallon and about 1000 gal
Ions to every 800 feet. With the la
Dor COS, added. 1t is safe to say the
total cost will bc about IN cents per
square yard. and II II will accomplish
It's purpose. the cost may DE con.
sidered triilinp a. compared with the
comfort and benefit II will bring.
| II l. yet too soon tn pass Judgment
on the work, but We believe the tx.
pertinent viii be worth It's cost.
The oil was applied under direc'
lions Of Mr.. Hicks, a road expert
with the STANDARD OH Company. who
Is introducing the process. The oil
used comes from the southern field,
and contains many Of the properties
Of asphal,um. II Is not crude oil
but has been treated for the remoya
Of coal oil, gasoline and certain lubri
eating oils. and Is non.inilamable
non.gaseous and practically odorless
In color II IL black as tar, and II u
lclaimed will form a perfectly water
proof crust, which will keep the
street IN tirst-class condition In al
seasons ~ the year. The expert ais,
claims tina, when the oil Is well all
sorbed by the earth within ~ hour
after II has been applied there vii
le no danger Of tracking II into Tia
homes. as many Of our people hav'
feared would be the result Of oile'
streets We can only wait and see.
