QUESTION OF PRECEDENCE
Settled by the Date Of Latest Commits
Sions Issued

Secretary Moody has finally decided the
vexed question Of official precedence be-
tween Rear Admiral Taylor, chief of the
bureau Of navigation, and Rear Admiral
Bradford. chief of the bureau of equip
ment, in favor of the first named officer.
Taylor is a rear admiral of the line and
Bradford IS a rear admiral by virtue of his
bureau commission. His regular rank is
that Of captain.
Following the lines of an opinion recently
rendered by Solicitor Hanna, the Secretary
decided against Admiral Bradford's claim
to seniority over Admiral Taylor on the
general board and as bureau chief of the
Navy Department on the ground that
BradfOrds rank rear admiral dates only
from his second commission as chief of the
equipment bureau, while Taylor's rank as
rear admiral dates from his actual COM
missioning in that grade, IN February, 1901
ten months before the date Of Bradford S
second commission.

Many persons are reported injured,

1t is as yet impossible to make anvt hing
approx1mating correct est bmate of the
