PAY DIRECTOR BILLINGS RETIRED.


THE SENTENCE OF DISMISSAL FROM THE NAVY
NOT TO BE CARRIED OUT.
Washington, March l5.-The case OF Pay Director
Luther G. Billings, which has been troubling the
Secretary OF the Navy for some time settled
to-day ny the issue of order placing that officer
the retired list. Mr.. Billings was convicted by
court-martal on grave charges. and was sentenced
10 dismissal from the service. His attorneys en-
deavored TO have the finding set aside on the
ground that it was unjust, and unsupported by the
evidence The Secretary was so impressed by their
arguments that he proposed 10 compromise with
Mr. Billings by permitting him TO retire instead OF
being dismissed The officer rejected this PROPOSE
ton. however. contending that II guilty he should
be punished; that if innocent, as he asserted ne
was. justice required that the last trace OF quit
should be removed from his record
The proposition OF the Department was that he
should apply for retirement. which he was entitled
to do under the law, but he refused 10 follow
tive and ordered him before naval examining
board to determine his mental and physical ca
pacity for active service. The Board reported that
ne was eligible for retirement under the law ana
Secretary Long to-day directed the transfer OF his
ma me from the active to the retired list
Although this does not prevent the execution OF
the sentence. Ii is generally understood that no
further action will be taken and that the case Will
be allowed 10 drop

NETWORK DAILY

said yesterday: 1.-THE Legislature created the Com
mission. and nobody can deny It's right to abolish
It, The Commissioners are responsible to the peo-
pie for the discharge OF their duties, and IL the
representatives think that their obligations TO
their constituents demand that they shall turn
the rapid transit problem to other Com
mssioners for solution. there can be no objection
save on the part OF those constituents
Mr. Orr went on to say that after much serious
thought and study of the problem OF rapid tran
sit he was now more than ever convinced that
the only effective and final solution OF the problem
was the tunnel road He had told George j. Gould
In an interview he had recently with him that. In
his Judgment. the tunnel road would not injnre
the elevated road. but would actually benefit IL
by increasing the population Of the northern sec
ton Of the city. and that much to his surprise Mr.
Gould had said that he agreed with him.
Lewis L. Delaneld. secretary OF the Commission.
said that ne had no expression Of opinion 10 make
regarding the bill introduced by Senator Els
worth The Commission would proceed In the DIS,
charge OF It's duty 1t had been proceeding al
along. 49,,
To those who have been closely interested in the
seems that the passage Of the Ellsworth Dill wouio
be the worst blow that rapid transit has yet
received. To them IT appears that there can De
but one explanation for the introduction OF such
2 bill and that Ia the desire TO legislate out OF
Office the men who have proved that they are
responsible only to the people and TO substitute
in their places men who Will regulate ther OH
cial acts In accordance with the dictates OF ponu-
cal bosses. In other words. the bill seeks TO IN
troduce politics into strictly business matter
