PRECEDENCE DISPUTE
NAY Be ENDED TODAY
Secretary Moody to Decide
the AdmiralS' Quarrel.
TAYLOR IS EXPECTED TO WIN
Admiral Bradford Holds Rank Only as
Chief of Bureau of Equipment-New
Legislation May Be Sought to obviate
Future Difficulty.

The decision as to whether Admiral
Bradford OF Admiral Taylor ranks next
to Admiral Dewey in all probability wlll
be announced by Secretary Moody this
afternoon just prior TO the closing of
the Navy Department.
The question. beginning in the trivial
dispute as to which OF the TWO admirals
should occupy a certain chair at the
meetings OF the General Naval Board.
has developed into a matter which may
affect the rank of every naval officer.
At first the Secretary was inclined 10
ridicule the problem. but now realizes
its Importance. and has devoted con-
siderable time and thought to it. In
brief. the problem is whether Bradford
whose actual rank Is that of captain.
but who by virtue of his appointment
to be chief Of the Bureau of Equipment
in 1897 gained the rank and pay Of rear
admiral. IS senior OF junior to Admiral
Taylor who became an actual rear ad-
miral in 1901.
As the authority Of first instance Ad-
miraI Dewey decided in favor of Admiral
! Taylor, and it now seems that this
opinion is likely to be Endorsed by the
/ Department as sound.
Lenly Gave No Opinion.
/ There is an erroneous impression that
/ d difference of opinion exists between
Solicitor Hanna and his Immediate su-
perior, Judge Advocate General Lemly,
and that in consequence Secretary Moody
now has two widely opposed opinions
from that Office As matter OF fact,
/ Captain Lemly has rendered no opinion
at 81 for the very good reason that his
own rank is involved for the period Of
/ 1900 to 1903. and he is naturally ayerse
to taking any action in which he might
be thought TO have personal interest
The only opinion therefore. before the
+ Secretary is the one written by Mr.
Hanna. and this holds that Taylor is
the senior officer since Bradford's com
/ mission expired By law four years after
/ its making and thus even his nomina
rank does not begin until December
1901. while Taylor's actual rank begaI
ten months earlier. The chief difficulty
with this opinion is that it creates
condition in which seniority becomes
fiuctuating matter, and It is possibI,
that some legislation will be sough
| 20 provide a more simple rule

THREATENED AUGUSTA STRIKE.
Committee Appointed to Investigate
Cause of Trouble.

Cause of Trouble.
Augusta, Ga, April 5.-The chamber
OF commerce at a meeting last night
appointed a committee of five to take
up the strike matter with a view of
settlement. This committee added
the names of five gentlemen who con-
duct businesses in the factory district.
These ten met today and arranged a
general conference.
The entire situation will be gone
over in the hope to avert a strike.
Good results are doubtful, as the labor
leaders insist that the operators have
grievances. If the strike goes into eff
feet at the King mill Monday morn
ing all mills in Augusta, as we'll as
those at Bath, Vauoluse, Aiken, War
renville and Graniteville, in South
Carolina, will close and remain So the
officials say, until all employees sign
pledges repudiating textile unions
Many operatives foresee privations
ahead and do not want a strike.
The Augusta factory is non-union
and employees have petitiOned Presi.
dent PhiniZy not to lock them out. Mr.
Phinizy. however, is a member of the
Manufacturers association and will
have to stick to the agreement.

GERMANS COME TO GEORGIA.

Colony In GIynn County Is on the
Increase.
Brunswick, Ca, April 5.-Seventeen
additional members of the German
American colonists have arrived via
the Southern railway and gone out to
their settlement a few miles from this
city. This makes about 100 increase
of the citizenship of Glynn county
within a few weeks, and of that sturdy
class Of people who, more than any
other within the past SO years. have
developed the great northwest coun-
try
1t has been the dream of land own
ers and railroads and emigrant agents
to get d movement of German emigra-
tion flowing to this country through
southern ports and this is the first
time it has taken definite shape, al
though efforts have been made in the
past.
These people are coming from
province in southern Russia, which is
about the same parallel latitude as
our own, and. therefore, there will be
little trouble of acclimation.
There is no telling to what proper
tions this movement may grow and
the Glynn county authorities have de
cided to do all in their power to aid
in this matter by having the lands
about their colony settlement drained
so as 10 prevent sickness and fever
durinp the coming Summar These
people have their own schools and their
own churches and are apparently good
natured and happy.
