proved the findings of the court martial,
which acquitted him.
In refusing to approve the findings of
the court in the case of Lieutenant Dorm,
Secretary Herbert read quite lecture to
naval officers. The accident was .caused
by The failure of someone TO fill the re-
coil cylinder with liquid. The cylinder
was supposed to have been filled at the
Mare Island navy yard. Daily inspection
of the recoil cylinder is required. though
no particular person is designated to
make the inspection.
The secretary says: ''It cannot be that
on a United States ship of war so plain
regulation can be violated and no one
to blame"
II e quotes from the drill book and ord.
nance instructions, showing what is the
duty on ship. and continues:
1T would be impractica BILE to prescribe
il this book or otherwise at the depart
III .nt that each OF the several duties there
in required to be performed should be i'm
posed upon some particular person on
board the ship.
The department cannot approve a de-
cison which seems to hold that in case
like this an ordnance officer IS not res
ponsible simply because the regulations
do not declare IN so many words. Re-
sponsbility and authority go together.
An officer exercises control over and
uperintendence of all who are beneath
him. If duties are required to be perform
ed in his department of the ship it is his
duty to perform or to see that it is done.
IAN officer placed in charge OF any de-
partment of vessel is supposed to be
equal to all exigencies that may arise.
Within limits he must have liberty of
action and duties like that which were
neglected IN this case. He may often be
obliged TO devolve by Of rder upon one or
another. but it is no excuse to say that he
was very busy. that he had many duties
to peform, that he could not have per-
sonaly done particular thing without
working in the night. Lieutenant Dorm
does not even show that he directed any
person to examine and fill this recoil
cylinder before the firing. He had
notice Of the proposed target practice.
He rested confidently in the belief that
this cylinder had been filled tweny-three
days before by workmen. The drill book
forbade him to rest on any such belief.
1t declares that an examination should
be made Immediately preceding target
practice. 1t is abundantly proven that
the accused was faithful and Jealous
officer, but fidelity and zeal.in other direc
tions cannot excuse such negligence as
has been exhibited in this case.
