LIEUT.. EDGERroN,s CASE.
win He Get the Assistant Mathematical
Professorship?

Professorship?
The case of Lieut. W. p Edgerton, second
artillery, is again before the War Department.
Several weeks ago this officer was appointed an
assistant professor OF mathematics at the Mill
tary Academy. an Office created by the legisla-
tive. executive and judicial appropriation bill
for the present fiscal year. He accepted the
Office, but, fortunately for him, did not resign
his commission in the army. Soon after
a question arose as to his pay, the
consideration of which also involved his status
in the army. This was in consequence Of the
discovery that he had been appointed to an
Office in advance of the time when the law Gre
ating it took effect The second controller OF
the treasury. who passes on the accounts Of the
army, held that he had accepted the civil
office he was out Of the army. and that his sal
ary in the civil Office would not begin until
the act took effect. The case was subsequently
referred to the Attorney General, and that Of
hcial took decidedly contrary view of the
matter. He held that the officer could not pos
slbiy accept an Office that did not exist and
consequently did not forfeit any of his rights
by the premature appointment. The War De-
partment accepted this view Of the situation
and no further action has since been taken.
Time has changed the status Of the case, but
has not altogether settled it The civil
ONCE has existed since July /, and the question
Is as to whether Lieut.. Edgerton's original ap-
pointment to it still holds good. In order to
take 1t he will have to resign his army commits
sion. and he. naturally, hesitates in that step
until he is sure Of the appointment. 1t is be-
ieved that the difficulty can be settled SO far
as Lieut.. Edgerton's incumbency Of this office
is concerned by his reappointment by the
President and his relinquishment Of his present
commission. There will be no trouble about
the resignation il the new appointment is as
sured. 1t is expected that Secretary Lamont
will settle this case as soon - he returns from
his vacation.

A Small Arm for the NAVY

II IL expected that Secretary Herbert will
issue an order in a few days for the assembling
of board Of naval officers to consider the sub
ject of a modern type Of small arm for tine use
of the navy. Capt Montgomery Sicard, for
merry chief Of the bureau Of naval ordnance
and now in command of the double-turreted
monitor Miantonomoh, is mentioned Us most
likely to be president of the prospective board.
It is understood that the board will take up the
subject of small caliber rifles, entirely without
regard to the recent action of the army small
arm board in adopting the Krag- Jorgensen gun
for the use of the army. Naval men predict
that that arm will not be adopted by the navy.
basing their belief on a statement attributed to
q high official Of the department. that the navy
has no use at all for the krag-Jorgensen rifle.
