The President Takes the Matter In His
Own Hands and Directed the
Discharge, Despite Rules
of the Civil Service.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Secretary
Long has discharged Egard S. Maclay
from his position in the Brooklyn
navy yard, Mr.. Maclay having refused
to resign when requested to do SO.
Mr.. Maclay Is author OF a naval
history, which in its last volume
sharply criticises Admiral Schley and
denounced him as cailiff. poltroon
and a coward. and on which 1t ia al.
legged that both Secretary Long and
Admiral Sampson read proofs before
the issue was printed.
Secretary Longs action was taken
by direction OF the president and fol.
lowed conference between the pres.
ident and the secretary who took to
the white house with him a letter from
Maclay In response to the request for
his resignation sent by the secretary
last Saturday.
In this letter Maclay submitted that
he could not be removed or be com.
PEELED to resign without definite
charges being made against him and
without having an opportunity to an
swer those charges.
Although the civil service rules give
employees in the public service the op.
portunity Of answering charges that
may be preferred against them the
president exercised his prerogatives
in the present instance and directed
Maclay's removal. it being held that
the latter was aware unof1icially If not
officially Of the reasons which actual
ed the executive in taking the course
determined upon.
Secretary Long says the action TAX
en- would dispose of the case finally.
