Daniels’ and Garrison’s Inquiry)
Into Offensive Army and Navy
Dinner Reveals New Element
Which Irritated the President.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—Invest!-
gation by Secretaries Garrison and
Daniels into the famous Carabao ban
quet revealed that the point of great
est irritation to President Wilson
stuck out from a moving picture film.
Worse than the “Damn” doggerel,
more satirical than the battleship
Piffle” and more daring than the
Bryan lecture schedule was this pic
torial caricature and the printed
comments accompanying it.
'I’lie film showed the long pursuit
of the United States Army of a Fili
pino colonel and former desperado,
his capture and his being made tie
governor of a province.
Concerning this moving picture, the
advance notices of the banquet said:
"By this film, just as in last year's
ironical ‘Filipino declaration of in
dependence,’ the Carabaos showed
their lack of sympathy for recent de
velopments and tendencies in Philip
pine government.”
Double Barb to Sting.
The double barb of this sting to
the Administration’s feelings is that
while the picture might be laughed
at the comment is a direct attack on
the Wilson-Rryan Philippine policy.
It stands, too, as an example of cut
ting derision of that policy by the
very officers of the army and navy
who have taken part in the fighting
work of the Filipino problem.
Dr. Joseph M, Heller, secretary of
the Washington “corral” of the Car
abao, made haste to assume respon
sibility for the issuance of the ad
vance matter to the press concerning
the banquet. It was the publicity of
t«he thing that was also offensive to
the President.
Dr. Heller declared, too. that the
advance matter “‘was prepared hur
riedly” and that the sentence re*
ferred to “would have been elimi
nated on careful inspection.”
Three Others Apologize.
Three other apologies for the ban-
h&v< appeared—Major General
Aleshire, U. S. A., Brigadier General
Mclnfyre, U. S. M. C.. and Rear Ad
miral Howard. Tn response to a de
mand of the President, Secretaries
Garrison and Daniels to-d^y received
each a copy of the following letter:
“We have been appointed by the
committee in charge of the recent an
nual dinner, Milita-. Order of the
Carabao, a subcommittee to submit
certain data requested.
"The subcommittee also desires to
express to you the deepest regret at
the criticisms in the press of the re
cent Carabao dinner. The society,
composed largely of army and navy
officers, is greatly distressed that
anything in its entertainment should
bo offensive to its invited guests. The
principal song reported to have given
offense was composed by soldiers on
the way to the Philippines in 1809,
and has been sung at Carabao din
ners and similar occasions ever since.
Song Not cn Program.
“It was not on the program for the
recent dinner, but was sung once,
and when asked for a second time
ners there have always been presented
at the singing table. During the din
ner there have always been presented
entertaining features, and songs have
been practically the same on all such
occasions.
“It has been stated in the press that
the songs were known in advance.
That is true, as the songbook printed
this year is practically the same as
songbooks heretofore printed, 29 of 25
songs being the same, and the others
have not been mentioned as being In
any way objectionable.
“The printed statement that ‘the
performance, according to advance
statements given out by the Carabao
►Society, was designed to show the
lack of sympathy for recent develop
ments and tendencies in the Philip
pine government, is so absurd that
it: sterns hardly necessary to deny
it. Very respectfully,

leisurely robbing of a house Sunday
morning at church time, ate some ap
ples that were on the sideboard and
left the dents of his teeth in a core.
Chief of Police Austin, of Long
Beach, used to practice dentistry. lie
saw those dents. A brilliant and nov

plaster cast made of the teeth marks !
Then he began to look around for ,
suspects. Yesterday morning he found I
a young man whose teeth exactly fit - I
ted the imprints taken from the ap
ple core.
This is the point' to tell that the ;
young man broke down and confess-

Ill-owed Maids at Lucy Cobb Find Cooking
Most Fascinating Course.
Bees Rout 2 Bandits
From Hut of Hermit
ATHENS, Dec. 20,— High-browed
maidens on the roll of Lucy Cobb
College are gleeful when they talk
of the newest elective course. It does
not smack in the least of erudition or
esoteric learning, but it is so en
thralling that there are many who
confess the dust of neglect is settling
on the calculus, the French grammar
and the Virgil. This new course is,
oh. so popular!
True to the classic college tradi
tions, they must call it domestic sci
ence. But it is just plain cooking
after all.
The new* course, which is number
ing dozens of enthusiastic recruits,
iuns through three years. In that pe
riod the girls are led through the
mazes of the kitchen, are introduced
first to the simple formulae for bacon
and eggs and grits and coffee, and
then are boosted gradually to the
heights of more artistic cooking, un
til salads and desserts and the diffi
cult dainties are reached and mas
tered.
The course is in charge of Miss
Ida Hall, a capable young worn-
[an from Philadelphia, who, having
J studied and stewed and fricasseed in
the kitchen clinics of several leading
I training schools, is able to tell the
j young Georgia college girls that
kitchen work is not drudgery but an
art to be fostered and cherished.
Enrolled as students in the course
are a number of girls from the most
prominent families of Georgia. One of
the first recruits was Miss Cora
Brown, daughter of forrmer Governor
Joe Brown, who, although in her last
year at Lucy tfobh, was attracted by
Domestic Science I, as tlie new course
is duly and formally registered in the
catalogue, and w’ho is one of the most
enthusiastic in the class.
PALISADES. NBBR., Dec. 20-
Honey bees drove two would-be rob
bers from the lonely hut of Ralph
Dawson, fifteen miles northwest of
here.
“He has no gun and there are no
dogs about,” one of the strangers
said. “We will get his money.”
The honey bees in a score of hives
about the hut became alarmed and
swarms began fo sting the tramps.
Just as the door was about to give
way the bees became more vigorous,
and tlie would-be robbers were forced
to flee.
