There has been considerable stir at


good stead in that connection.
There has been considerable stir at
the Navy Department recently over a
case of alleged "cribbing" at the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, in which Cadet
Charles A. MACEDONIAN of Portland was
involved His father, George A.
MACEDONIAN, came to Washington in
the lads interest. Congressman Kinds
and Senators Johnson and Burleigh
interceded to have the evidence sifted
and the outcome was a conclusion that
the Portland boy had been unjustly
charged One of his comrades in the
Academy was dismissed.
The claims committe of the House is
giving attention to many bills at this
season of the year and has just given
hearing to Byron F. Libby of Port
land, appearing in behalf of Mrs. Ellie
NJ Rowse, who owns house near
Fort Williams in Portland Harbor.
The discharge of great army guns
there cracked the windows of her
house and made the property practi-
cally uninhabitabe. Congress has
had several cases of this kind from the
vicinity of Portland and. indeed, from
various forts along the New England
coast. In former days the coast
artillery officers were altogether care
less about their practice with these
guns. The trouble has been in some
degree eliminated by sub calibre prac-
tice but many claims for compensa-
ton remain unadjusted.
Representative Peters of the Third
Maine district. is following with inter-
est the fate of the naval tug Potomac,
which went up to the vicinity of New
foundland to relieve fishing vessels
from Bucksport. Maine, and got caught
in the ice. 1t was upon the request
of Mr.. Peters, urgently made, that the
tug was dispatched on this relief work.
If the Department had sent the tug
promptly when first askedfto. do so, she
might have rescued the fishing vessel
and gotten away before the exceeding
ly cold weather set in. can.
Senator Burleigh is interesting him
self in river and harbor items, allowed
by the House and coming soon to the
Senate for confirmation. One of the
important Maine items on the bill is
for the improvement of the harbor at
NidCiildS' oecietdTy OF the Navy
Daniels was at Machias some time ago
and conditions there were brought to
his attention. He thought the harbor
deserved further attention and so
wrote to the House authorities.
Quite number of Maine people are
sojourning in Washington during the
winter. Among these are Mrs. H l..
Houghton of Portland, Mrs. Olive b.
Mason and Miss Alice g. Mason of
Bethel.

BIGH.CLASS WORK
ILLINOIS GIRLS HUNT REPTILES
IN WOODS, THEN PLAY WITH
THEM AS PETS.

Chicago, May 2,.-The association
of high school girls and snakes has
for some time been source OF dis
turbance in La Grange, Ill. This agi-
tation finally took the form of a pro-
test to George A. H. Scott of the ILL
nois Humane society, charging that
the girls were cruel to the snakes.
what" exclaimed Mr.. Scott. How
can girls he cruel to snakes when few
will go near them? Woman's cruelty
to man-but never to snakes
But Officer Charles H. Brayne of the
Humane society took the next train
for La Grange At the high school he
was shown into Miss Babcock's room.
She teaches the zoology class, In
which there are ten girls and six boys.
All acknowledged their association
with snakes.
"GirIs Developing Their Nerve"
"The girls are developing their
nerve-by handling snakes" said Miss
Babcock. "Once a week the class
goes shaking in the large woods. west
of the school. That is, they hunt for
snakes under fallen logs and stumps.
The fearless ones pull the reptiles
from their hiding places and carry
them to the glass cages In the class
room for future study
Indeed, we are not cruel" said the
teacher. 1--WE handle the snakes gent
ly and we are studying to be humane.
We are trying to preserve the harm
, less snakes by studying them, their
movements and habits, and then let
ting them go again in the woods. The
poisonous snakes we shun."
To convince officer Brayne the class
I was anything but cruel to the toads
| and snakes used in the class room,
they took him out Shaking" in the
woods.
Girls Show Less Fear Than Boys.
"The girls picked up the, snakes
and wound them about their necks and
arms" said Mr.. Brayne. There was
no evidence of fear among the girls.
But the boys hesitated when they
came across a large snake. They ap-
peared more nervous in handling the
REPTILES than did the girls"
Miss Babcock assured the humane
officer that the girls had become 30
accustomed to handling the reptiles
and toads that such thing as a
mouse was unnoticed.
One girl they called Miss Williams
walked back to the building with two
snakes wound about her ankles an6
with a necklace and bracelets Of live
reptiles. She placed them In thu
cases in the classroom with an air o
victory over fear.
The humane officer returned ant
