NOW LIKELY
Congress May Probe Alleged
Snobbery at Annapolis.
FAVORED BY Mr.. KORBLY

A committee Of Congress may investi-
gate the charge that snobbery exists at
the United States Naval Academy.
The case Of Miss Mary H. Beers, paid
companion of a naval officers wife, who
1t Is alleged. was given to understand
that her presence was not desired at an
academy hop because Of her position, has
been taken up by Representative Korbly.
an Indianian and a democrat. Mr. Korb-
ly had written to Secretary Of the Navy
Meyer asking him to investigate that
peculiar social system at the academy
that makes unwelcome at a social func
ton an estimable and talented girl who
happens to be earning her own living"
The Beers affair will be brought to the
attention of the House by Mr.. Korbly
and an inquiry demanded unless Secre-
tary Meyer denies or explains the al
legged occurrence
w. H H. Miller. Attorney General of
the United States. under President Harri-
SON. has written letter to Mr.. Korbly
depouncing the alleged snobbery at the
academy.
IF reports are correct" says the former
Attorney General, IAN attempt has been
made to exclude from social life at the
Academy a respectable young woman be-
cause she was earning her own living
If this be true, l think the occurrence
cannot be rebuked too severely, and it
seems to me that not another dollar
should be voted by Congress for the sup
port of that institution until every man
who was party to the contemplate bus,-
ness and is connected with the navy. rs
sent on to sea duty"
Awaiting Reply to Letter.
Mr.. Korbly does not intend to take any
further action until he receives a reply
to his letter from Secretary Meyer.
Il presume" he said today, that the
Secretary il now making an inquiry.
Doubtless he feels embarrassed over the
incident. The letter from former Attor-
ney General Miller 10 one Of many
have received since I voiced my protest
against the alleged discrimination against
Miss Beers.
There has been more or less talk in
the past concerning the snobbery said
to exist in naval circles at Annapolis.
and incidents such as this cannot have
a good effect. It compels me to bring
the matter to the attention Of the
House. I do not propose to mince
words
Miss Beers, whose social ostracism
is alleged to have been attempted, Is
the daughter Of Prof. Beers. the head
Of the English department at Yale. At
Annapolis she was employed as a gov
erness for the children Of Lieut.. and
Mrs Tarrant, and was besides q per-
sonal friend Of Mrs. Tarrant. She at
tended the Academy hops until one
evening, 1t is alleged, an intimation
was given her escort by a naval officer
that her presence was not desired at
the hop on account of her position as
governess in the Tarrant family"

REGARD AGREEMENT
AS AN OPENING WEDGE
Members of Ways and Means
Committee Enthusiastic for
Canadian Reciprocity.

The report Of the ways and means COM
mittee on the Canadian reciprocity bill
submitted to the House shows that the
democrats not only fall into line enthu-
siastically with the President on that
subject. but, as one democrat put it to-
day, I'VE lead the procession and claim
reciprocity as our own long-lost child
An Opening Wedge.
The committee also dwells upon this
agreement as being but the opening
wedge of still further unrestricted trade
relations, and says:
1.-The bill takes a long step toward es-
tablishing for the continent of North
America policy of unrestricted trade
and commerce, recognizing natural con-
ditions that have too long been ignored"
Democratic leaders declare they in
tend to make all the political advan-
tage possible out of advocacy Of the
Canadian reciprocity agreement and to
for effecting the agreement. They say
that the republican party lost its
chance when the Senate so contemptu-
ously ignored the Presidents recon-
mendations. refusing even to take up
the bill for consideration, and that the
democratic party is entitled to what
ever capital there may be In 1t.
Gain in Popular Favor Claimed.
It Is thought that there will be more
republican votes for tho measure in the
House on the roll call than were cast on
the passage Of the bill last session. It is
claimed that in the interim the reciprocity
plan has steadily grown in popular favor,
and republicans with their ears to the
ground have heard the rumblings of ap-
prevail.
Speaker Cannon is preparing to make
the last stand of the old guard in a
speech against the bill, and will rally
around himself such stanch standpatters
as Dalzell Of Pennsylvania and Fordney
Of Michigan. the remnants of the high
protectionist band. To these will come
also few republicans who are swayed
by the granger opposition, but the total
is expected to be inconsiderable.

Wine Wrongly Labeled.

From the start the law delimiting the
champagne country was unpopular there
being numerous complaints that it was
not Hgidly enforced. Dissatisfaction led
to meetings of protest, the wine growers
asserting that wine was imported into
Marine, where it was bottled and marked
with the government label.
Counter-demonstration were begun in
the department OF Aube, where the wine
growers clamored to have their depart
ment included in the delimited cham
payne district.
Taking cognizance of the Aube growers,
the French senate after a long discus
sion. adopted a resolution April IL, in
favor Of the suppression Of all territorial
delimitation. AS soon as the news of the
senates action reached the Marine region,
where it was regarded as a deadly blow
to their interests and a concession to the
rival and neighboring department of
Aube. the exasperated Marine wine grow
ers rose up in arms and burned and sack
ed every wine depot they could lay their
hands on.

Adulterated the Wine.

The discomfort of the wine growers in
the French champagne region, which Gull
minated in violent turbances and the
destruction Of enormous quantities OF
champagne, was the result Of the suffer
ing Of the people in the department of
Marine. which the wine growers there At
tributed to the extensive manufacture OF
adulterated and counterfeited wine.
To protect the growers Of real cham
payne the French government in 1907
instituted an investigation. AS the re-
suit of years work Of the investigating
committee the government secured the
passage OF law which provided an off,
cial label for real champagne and re-
quiring that no wine should bear this
label unless It were wholly the production
of a specific district-a region within the
limits Of the department Of Marne

FIGHT OVER PATRONAGE
IN THE HOOS|ER STATE
President Taft Seeks to Set
tie Vexing Problems Pre-
sented by Indiana.

Ex-senator Hemenway Of Indiana had
an interview with President Taft today
about the Indiana federal appointments
that have become a regular nightmare
to the White House. The President
purpose to dispose Of them within a
short time has led him to two conferences
this week with ex-senator Beverage and
to send for Mr.. Hemenway for a talk.
The conferences, however, do not seem to
have been prolific Of final decisions. The
President has given no intimation of his
intentions. The fight over the appoint
ments has been between the Beveridge
and Fairbanks-H emenway factions, but
a third element is looming up in connec-
ton with the situation.

HINSDALE, N. H.
Methodist Ladies Scored a Success.

The Methodist ladies held their annual
chicken-pie supper and sale in the town
hall Wednesday evening. There was a
liberal patronage and all societies were
well represented. The supper, which was
served in the basement dining-room, was
pronounced one of the best, both in quail
ity and quantity.
The hall presented a festive appearance
with the bright colored booths and a
brisk business was carried on by those
in attendance. First on the right, upon
entering the hall, was j. II. Watson, in
charge of the ice cream parlor, which
was decorated with Christmas bells. Mrs.
Myron Dickerman had a fine display of
ported plants and cut flowers in a blue
and white booth. In a yellow and white
booth Miss Maud Dickerman dispensed
homemade candies. Crossing the hall.
Mrs. Austin Dickerman was in charge of
a great variety of aprons. Here red
and white formed the decorations. In an
especially pretty creation in pink and
green Mrs. n. l.. Porter and Mrs. Drury
presided over the fancy goods and doll
sale. A green and white mystery booth
was in charge of Mrs. j.. Ct. Bridge. The
supper was in charge of Mrs. Alfred
Sprague and Mrs. Henry Dickerman. the
entertainment in charge of Mrs. Myron
Dickerman.
The entertainment consisted of read
ings by Miss Helen Symonds. a grad
uate of Emerson school of oratory, and
musical selections by Miss Lightness, vo-
cal teacher in Mortified seminary, with
Miss Delphine Lazelle of Mortified, pi-
anist. Miss Symonds was happy in her
selections and easily c~aptivated her audi
ence. In child delineation she is true to
life and has the good judgment to choose
selections to which she is especially
adapted. The music was also pleasing
and all cheerfully responded to the
hearty encores they received.
The society is small and there is sick
ness among them, and they deserve much
credit for the way in which the whole
affair was managed. All hope that a gen.
erous sum will be netted them as a re-
ward of their efforts.
