Snobbery at the Naval Academy

by the navy department, Miss Beers
was employed as a companion to the
wife of Lieut. Commander William T.
Tarrant, who Is engineer officer of
the battleship Michigan of the Allan
tic fleet. She was invited to one of
the naval academy hops several weeks
ago by midshipman whose name has
not been disclosed by the department.
She attended the dance and shortly
afterward left Annapolis for her home
In New Haven. At the time of her
departure she knew nothing Of the in
cident in which she figured.
One of the officers on duty at An.
napolis suggested to the midshipman,
on the superstition that Miss Beers
was domestic, that she should not
have been invited by the midshipman
to the hop.
The midshipman, according to the
report received at the department, re.
piled that he disagreed personally
with the view Of his superiors at the
academy. There was, however. moth.
ing that he could do under the cir
cumstances. The inquiry developed
that Captain Bower was responsible
for the suggestion that Miss Beers
was not desirable guest at academy
social events.
