SECRETARY Of THE NAVY
AND T|PPERARY TABOO
Incident at Southern Society's Cot
ton Ball in Which Marine
Band Figures.

AS to whether or not Secretary OF
the Navy Josephus Daniels told the
commandant at Newport News training
station that he was right in stopping
the jolly jack tars from whistling the
English marching song, IT'S a Long
Way to Tipperary," Is a question that
has been in the public prints, with
varying answers. for some time past.
and each day brings forth some para
grapher's quip on the subject. But at
the Southern Society's cotton ball" in
the Pan-American building Friday
night
But wait bit. Perhaps you were
not there. Just a picture or two before
the real Tipperary incident in which
Secretary Daniels figured:
In the first place there were thou
sands of people dressed up in their
finest. The society reporters said there
were 1000. but then. they didn't try
to dance a one-step. If they had, they
would have guessed that about 10000
people were present-all dancing.
Lights and Palms and Fountains.
There were lights, and big palms
brought all the way from the Amazon
by John Barrett, who put the Pan in
Pan-America, with cockatoos singing
their own peculiar songs in the branch
es of these palms, and fountains
splashing and band playing.
A band. Yes, the Marine Band in its
red uniform. With Lieut.. Santelmann
leading, everybody just had to dance
The Marine Band. mind you. which is
supposed to observe these internation-
al niceties, played waltzes and one
steps and now and then a maxixe. with
it's thirty-two different steps, and Sec
retary Daniels looked on, as pleased
as could be.
Suddenly there was rush for the
floor. The crush to dance was greater
than ever, for the Marine Band was
the allies, Its a Long Way to Tippe-
rary," and was playing it with vim
There wasn't any mistake about II, the
Marine Band was playing the very
song that Secretary Josephus Daniels
is alleged to have tabooed.
Faithful Portrayal of Incidents.
Now, did he really put the kibosh or
that song for the sailors? Judge by
this: There was the Secretary of the
Navy, and right by him was Mrs. Dan
piece she smiled, then she smiled more
and then she smiled a lot more and
said something to the Secretary. He
grinned and looked at Mrs. Daniels
Then she said something to him in a
whisper, and laughed Then he laugh
ed and edged off bit. BY that time
the entire company was dancing mad
ly, and the band was crashing out
''Tipperary" as if the world depended
on it.
Then Mrs. Daniels laughed aloud and
people who were near at hand caught
on to the condition of things and grim
ned a little on their part.
And. finally, with the United States
Marine Band playing the tabooed
Tipperary in fine volume and elegant
rhythm, the Secretary of the Navy re-
treated in baffied order under the
laughing eyes of Mrs. Daniels and dis
appeared in an alco<e.
And the band played on. 1t played
Tipperary three times.
