SCANDAL
IN NAVY

New York. June 3. - The earnest
desire of Pres. Woodrow Wilson and
the most extraordinary efforts Of
Secretary of the Navy Josephus Dan
ieIs have been unavailing to suppress
the scandal, involved in the resigna-
ton Of Edward c.. Little, q past as
sistant paymaster attached to the
presidential yacht Mayfower, ''for the
good Of the service" and the sudden
transfer of Lieut., Archibald H. Doug
las from the MayfloWer to the AstatiC
station.
Reported to Daniels.
Five enlisted men reported Mr.. Lit
tie to Secretary Daniels for miscOn-
duct on board the Mayf1ower. The re-
ports followed a night of hilarity on
the yacht which began when the pay

dinner, and then concluded the en-
tertainment until morning.

the time as officer Of the deck. A sea

at least, himself.
Popular Officers.
Douglas and Little were two of the
most popular officers in Washington
They had the entire to the homes of
the most exclusive families in that
most exclusive Of all social sets, the
old WashingtOnian Set as we'll as to
all official sets. AS officers of the May
flower they had entertained extensive
ly. The presidents daughters and
Miss Helen Taft have been not in
frequent guests at entertainments on
the Mayfiower. The most popular of
Washington's charming debutantes of
the last season and the present have
frequently gathered there for dances,
teas and dinners.
Tried to Suppress 1t.
The two officers have been quests at
the White House and they have been
the guests of the secretary Of the navy
as well. Secretary Daniels realized
fully how extremely disagreeable pub
licity for this scandal would be to the
president and to many of Washing
toms most prominent families. He
made unusual efforts to suppress it.
"Business Career"-Yes2
Newspaper men, inquiring at the
navy department about Mr.. Little's
resignation. were informed that he
had reached the conclusion that a
business career would offer him bet
ter opportunities and had resigned to
embark on one But an investigation
of the navy department records show
that his resignation was officially ac-
cepted for the good Of the service"
That he was permitted to resign at
all, is due to the desire Of the admin
istration to keep the scandal quiet.
Secretary Daniels called into con-
sultation and sought the advice of
senior officials. Little and Douglas
were summoned. President Wilson
was consulted, while heartily approx
ing the desirability Of avoiding pub
Iicity, insisted that discipline must be
maintained, even if it meant the VEN
tilation Of the whole affair.

Yield Corn Contest

Seven hundred farm boys between
the ages Of twelve and eighteen years
have enrolled for the third acre yield
corn contest conducted by Director
Thomas Cooper of the state experiment
station. The time for entries closed
counted and enrolled it was found
that nearly 200 more boys than COM
peted last season will take part in the
contest for 1914.
Al noticeable feature of the enroll
ment this year is that a large proper
tion of the young farmers who will
try to win the various prizes are from
the northern and western counties,
many of them from sections where two
or three years ago it was believed
that corn could not be successfully
raised.
The contest is being conducted along

into two districts, a northern and
southern district Each boy is re-
quired to grow at least one acre of

In the fall the prizes are awarded

this record will be bettered this season.
Last year the average number OF bush

this record also is bound to be brok-

TRACK
FOR AUTO RACES
Work Started Today by Park Man.
agement. A. A. A. Sanction

Work was started by the manage
ment of the Laurium driving park
today to prepare the park for the au-
tomobile races which will be conduct
ed there on Sunday, July 10, promoted
by Elmer Macdonald, the well known
automobile racer OF Grand Rapids and
Calumet. The track will be dragged,
rolled and put in first class condition
and the turns also will be given a
sleeper pitch. No difficulty is antici-
pated in placing the park in first class
condition before the date set for the
races.
1t is announced that the American
Automobile association has granted
its sanction to the races and that any
records hung up by the speed demons
who will complete there, among them
Louis Disbrow, Eddie Hearne, Joe
Raimey, Dutch" Heineman and Mac
Donald, will be recognized as official
by the association. Dare Devir'
MacDonald's Maxwell racing car will
arrive here early next week and the
other drivers will bring their racing
cars with them.
After this race, little work will be
necessary on the track for the novel
acceptance race to be stag
ed here August l and by the Auto
poloplane company of Chicago, which
company has recently signed contracts
for appearance here ON those dates.
This feature should be decidedly
novel one. II is proposed To stage
race between an aeroplane and three
or four automobiles, the airship flying
low and circling the track just above
the speeding autos, or ahead of them,
if it can outsrip them. 1t is possible
two aeroplanes will be brought to the
copper country for these exhibitions,
as the company controls two and if
circumstances warrant both will be
brought here.

Washington crest (the raven or eagle
