CITY OF NEWPORT
birthday Chicken Pie Supper

The Birthday chicken pie supper
gregational church last evening was
a great success in every way. Finan-
cially as well as socially, the supper
was one of the best the ladies have
ever put before the people of New
port city. Over 200 people of all ages
and representing all the different de-
nominations of the community gath
cred to enjoy the fine chicken pies
and the social hour. One hundred
and fifty were seated at the first
tables and over so more were ac-
commodated later. The dining room
and tables never looked more beauti-
full as there were IL tables, each table
to represent some month in the year,
and were most deliberately decorated
to represent some special day in the
month.
The table for January was decorat-
ed by Mrs. j. e. McCarten IN tinsel
and white, in the center there was a
large ball to represent snow ball
with a little new year cupid standing
on top, the table being covered with
mica snow and tinsel, and four large
white candles and small cupids as
favors furnished very attractive APP
pearance, and all of those who were
born in January were seated at this
table.
February table was decorated with
suspended over head and cupies sus-
February table was decorated with
valentine decorations with festoons
suspended over head and cupid sus-
pended from the center with a vase
of red roses in the center of the table
with red hearts and candles and
hearts as favors was enough to tempt
any to want to sit at this table, but
only those who were born in February
were allowed to stop. The table was
decorated by Mrs. w. r. Prouty.
Mrs. P. c. Blanchard was in charge
of the table for March and the
Irish wished they had all been born
in that month, as st. Patrick's day
was the color scheme. Green carna-
tions, green candles, Shamrocks, and
the cake had green frosting, green
jelly, and some said they saw snakes,
and small Irish flags were used for
favors.
The table for the month of April
was in charge of Mrs E. j. Prouty
and was very attractive in its Easter
decorations. Easter lilies, rabbits
with little chicks as favors, furnished
a beautiful appearance and it was
thought that by some who were seat
ed at this table, if the family re-
cords were referred to, would have
been at some other table. ~.
Mrs. Lee Welman had charge of
the table for May and in the center
there was a May pole with cupids
dancing around it while cupy with his
violin furnished the music. Baskets
of candles were the favors. The table
drew those who were born in May.
June table was decorated by Mrs.
A III Grout and was the bridal table,
and the color effect was pink The
cupie minister, flower girl, bride and
groom, and bridesmaid, were the cen
ter of attraction and was a pretty
sight.
The table for July decorated by
Mrs. H. F. Hamilton was a patriotic
effect, with several candles and red
shades, festoons, allied flags with
horns and rattles made music for the
occasion.
Mrs. J. F Lambert had vacation

found the lake with sand beach and

URGE COMPLETION
Of NAVY'S PLAN
1915 Program With Only
Slight Capital Ship Changes
Is Upheld.

WASHINGTON, May 2s-Rapid COM
pletion of the navy's 1916 building pro-
gram was urged by the general board
today in a communication presented
to the house naval committee by Sec
retary Daniels. The board recommend
ed that only slight changes be made
In the plans Of the capital ships as
originally drawn.
The boards communication showed
the idea of building a composite ship
to take the place Of battleships and
battle cruisers had been abandoned for
the time being, at least.
Principal changes in the six battle
cruisers authorized In 1916, recommend
ed by the board would give the ships
additional protection at the sacrifice
OF speed. Secretary Daniels told the
now how much speed would be sacri-
ficed to gain this end. The ships were
designed for 35 knots. The board s
communication follows:
"The general board and this confer
enCe recommends that the present au
th0rized battleship program be COM
pleted as expeditiously as possible on
present lines of development and that
future designs OF battleships should de-
PEND upon further developments in bat
tleship construction.
"The general board and this confer
ence recommends to the secretary OF
the navy that the six cruisers now au-
thorized be completed as expeditiously
as possible, but with the additional pro-
lection, particularly as to turrets, con-
ming towers, magazines and communi-
cations at the expense Of a small re-
duction in speed

RESUMPTION RECEIVED

WASHINGTON, May 2S-No word
had reached the navy department this
morning as to whether the NC-i had
left Lisbon for Plymouth, England The
last message from Lisbon was re-
ceived last night and it indicated
Lieut. Commander Albert C. Read

day achieved the distinction Of having
blaSed the way for trans Atlantic aerial

Delgada to Lisbon, completing the last
Leg OF the actual continent to continent
flight, continued to be the chief topic
In naval and official circles today,
In addition to the honor which histo-
ry will give to American naval flyers as
the first to fly across the Atlantic, II
was with pride that navy men pointed
to the splendid performance Of the ma
chine, purely ''made in America" de-
velopment. Without a mishap of any
kind the NC-4 made the jump OF Rp-
proximately 900 land miles from Ponta

Negro Kills Wife
In Bloody Fight
OUer HOW To Cook

Suitable implements of combat were
right in reach on the kitchen table
when George A. Roma and Rosie Roma,
negro couple, 907 Willoughby street, fell
to spatting at dawn Wednesday, over
the proper way to fry pork chop.
George snatched up butcher knife
and Rosie cutched one almost as big.
Then a scrap that would been a credit
to the gladiators of ancient arenas was
enacted Before Rosie went down with
her head almost severed from her
shoulders, George had received gashes
in the face and deep stab wounds in
the breast.
Rosie, with her knife, dyed red to
its handle, clasped tightly in her hand,
was crumpled corpse on the kitchen
floor when Policemen Brownee and
Charles BFunner, Jr,, reached the scene
from the central police office.
A trail of blood showed the route
George had taken in his flight, but as
the splotches of blood abruptly ended in
an alley, the negro possibly had
staunched his wounds as he fled, or
secured a conveyance.
