the face of his protest.
Recently an examination was order
ed for the position which Mr.. Helme
occupied. Helme was not debarred
from taking the examination. but he
did not present himself among the

he would not receive fair treatment
from the examiners. Henry Brown,
of Boston, now has Mr.. Helme's job
and Mr.. Helme, having declined Il mi
nor post in the same department, has
Il grievance Also the Grand Army
organization has taken up the case
and some correspondence, in which
the administra tion was informed that
the veterans would be heard from
this fall if Helme were deprived of
his position, has passed between
Grand Army headquarters of Brook
lyn and the navy department.
George jackson. of the memorial
committee of the Kings county Grand
Army of the Republic post, wrote to
Acting Secretary Darling. declaring
that the only objection to Helme was
his friendliness to veterans of the civil
war. \ report from Naval Construc-
tor Capps, of the Brooklyn yard,

ed in the yard to be greater now than
at any time in its history Acting
