DISTINGUISHED MEN
ATTENDED NAVAL REUNION.

The reunion brought a number of
prominent men to Washington, the
most interesting. perhaps, being
Baron Sotokichi Uriu, admiral OF tie
Imperial japanese navy. who took
leading part in the Russo-Japan-
ese war. He is the only surviving
Japanese member of the class. The
men here for the reunion were re-
ceived at the White house by Pres
ident and Mrs. Harding on Tuesday
afternoon; they visited Arlington
and Mount Vernon; were given a
number of tea parties, and went to
Annapolis for the graduation exer-
Icises, where they were entertained,
and the japanese ambassador gave
a dinner in their honor-there was
something every minute for them
to do.
Between the exercises at the
Naval academy and the centennial
exercises at the University of Vir-
ginia. a large share OF Washington
society was conspicuous by its alb
sence most of the week. The Pres
ident and Mrs. Harding. the Secre-
tary of the Navy and Mrs. DENLY.
with a large party and the class
reunion crowd-not to mention vari-
Gus parents, sisters, brothers and
sweethearts tand would-be sweet
hearts, of the midshipmen - went
down to Annapolis Thursday. Some
of them were there all week, for
that matter. At the graduation
ceremonies the President handed the
diplomas to the graduates, who
from that moment become ensigns
in the navy. while Mr.. DENLY ad-
dressed them. They made the trip
t. Annapolis by motor.
The French Ambassador and Mme.
Jusserand, the British Ambassador
and Lady Geddes, the Swiss Minister
and Nine. Grouitch, Judge and Mrs.
Clarence Goodwin. Prof. and Mrs.
Mitchell Carroll. DR.. L. w. Glaze
brook and others of prominence
went to Charlotteville, Va, for the
University of Virginia exercises.
DIR. Glazebrook. who is now consul
at Nice. France, was chaplain there
at one time while recovering from
a railroad accident, and it was
through his efforts that the Episco-
pal chapel at the university was
built. The Italian ambassador is
spending several weeks in Pennsyl-
vania; the Peruvian ambassador
passed part of the week in New York
something took many away from
town. Consequently most of these
people were missing from the White
house party.

NEW LITERARY CLUB
A NOVEL ORGANIZATION.

IT is. WE HOPE, ALL OVER

The Star has received from the
secretary of the State Railroad Com
mission copy of a letter sent to the
superintendent of this division of the
Seaboard, calling attention to the
Star of the last failure of south
bound train to stop at Ocala, accord
ing to the superintendent's instruc-
tons, and saying that another COM
plant would call for formal hearing
and appropriate order.
The Star hopes it shall never have
to make any more complaints
The Star has written to the Railroad
Commission, to the effect that it be-
lieved the trouble was over, also
thanking the commission for prompt
action in the matter.
The interests of the railroads and
the people are identical and this paper
prefers to see them work in harmony
And it is the easiest thing in the world
for them to work. that way
The Star has been asked why it did
not attack the Atlantic Coast Line.
The people of Ocala can remember
the time when the Star carried a
broadside for the Coast Line in nearly
EVERY issue.
One day. one of the Coast Lines big
men asked the Star, if it saw anything
wrong, to write him before making a
complaint, and he would set the mat
ter straight if ne could.
The Star complied and the railroad
man kept his word, and that is the
reason why the Star has not kicked
on the Coast Line for years-except
in one matter which was mostly the
fault of our own people, who also re-
ceived most of the kicks.
Pax vobiscum. United we stand !;
divided we pull hair and throw brick
bats.
