That Cadet Leonard Kaplan, who
graduated at the Naval Academy this
month and who is alleged to have been
mistreated in the class publication the
Lucky Bag, was not popular MEM
Der of the graduating class was the
statement made today by Admiral
Henry r. Wilson, Superintendent of
! the Academy.
so far as my observations GO"
said Admiral Wilson. "after talking
to good many of the graduates of
| this years class | am convinced that
Cadet Kaplan was not very popular
among his classmates. | do not know
whether this is due to the fact that
! he was Of Jewish extraction or not,
but there was evidently something in
; his makeup which his associates did
not like. OF SOURCE, there is great
; difference between my age and those
of the cadets at this institution and [
cannot tell Just how the cadets felt
! toward Kaplan. It has been impoS-
sible for me to make everybody at the
institution love everybody else as much
as would like to see such condition
of affairs exist there. / can tell you,
however, that so far as | am person
ally concerned kaplan was just as
much of a white haired boy as any
iothcr member of his class. He gave
me very little, if any trouble, in fact,
not nearly so much as good many
other Of his associates az oils Acad-
cmy."
President Harding has reiterated to
Majority Leader Lodge of the Senate
! his strong desire that the Senate pass
the tariff bill before it takes up the
soldier bonus or any other controvert-
ed matter.
In his talks with the Republican
Senators. M Lodge quoted the Pres
ident as being unalterably opposed to
consideration Of the bonus measure at
this time as is proposed by Chairman
lMcCumber. Tfn President believes,
according to Mr.. Lodge. that if the
I'Senate passes the tariff bill and then
passes the ship subsidy bill it viii
have enough work on hand 10 keep it
busy all summer. After passage of
these two measures. the Senate could
well adjourn and put the bonus meas
ure over until the next session, the
President told Mr.. Lodge.
1t is expected that the controversy
which has arisen in official circles re-
sulting from the disclosures that the
sale of Intoxicating liquors is per-
lmitted, on .Shipplhg Board vessels fly

FDanghertS. While Mr.. Daugherty and
| Chairman f.asker have been in confer
ence over the matter since the publi-
lcation of the pamphlet gotten out by
1.-THE Anheuser- Bush officials, it was
stated today that up to the present
time the Attorney General has not
+ heen requested to prepare an opinion
regarding the right of the Shipping

Twill cut uuitc figure in anV decision
which Will be rendered by the Depart
ment Of Justice. There are Il num-
bcr of questions involved in the cor
troversy that has arisen and whith
will have to be taken into considera-
tion before any opinion is handed

ships ply between two foreign ports
and do not come within the three-mile
limit. All these matters will have to
be taken into play by the fGc%ney
General before he renders his oninion.
