OLDER MEN ARE RESENTFUL.
Object To Admiral Dewey's Age
Suggestions In Navy.

Admiral Dewey's statement to the
effect that the officers Of the Navy, as
q rule, are too old for their respective
ranks, has created stir in naval cir
cles. 1t is not at all pleasing to the
older men in the service, and il would
not be at all surprising if an effoit
was made to have Admiral Dewey's
attention called once more to the reg
ulations which prohibit naval officers
from talking for publication on ser
vice matters.
They say, Furthermore. that it is all
very well for Dewey TO recommend
earlier retirements because he occu.
pies a privileged position, being pro-
tected in bis rank by special act Of
Congress until he dies. The younger
officers of the navy, on the other hand,
secretly, but heartily, indorse the
Admiral's views on this important
question, they being the ones 70 be
Immediately benefited by the proposed
legislation.
Should Congress enact law on the
subject this winter it could not 90
into effect until JuIv /. 1906. By that
time, out of more than eighty captains
now on the lists, there will not be
one who has not passed the age Of 55
years. If the general boards contem-
plated recommendation should be
adopted that any captain who has not
reached the grade of rear admiral at
the age of 55 years should be retired
or put on a reserved list, there is not
captain in the geryiee who would be
on the active list nine months from
now. Other ranks would be affected
proportionately.
Any reform. such as that suggested
by Admiral Dewey, would have to be
put into effect slowly in order t0
avoid crippling the Navy but, aside
from any question of personal inter
est, there is a feeling in the Navy
Department that Admiral Dewey's
criticisms are largely justified and
that something should be done to rems
edy the conditions Of which he com.
plains.

Governor no welcome Prince

1t was expected that Governor and
Mrs. Warfeld would return to Annap-
oils from their summer home ut Oak
dale. Howard county, before this and
would have opened the Executive
Mansion. The indisposition of Mrs.

layed the plans, and the executive
family will not now retun bef ore No
vember /, when their daughters will
return TO Mrs. Dow's School, on the
Hudson, as the opening of the school
has been delayed by improvements TO
the buildings.
The Governor said yesterday that
he had advised Adjutant- General
Riggs to keep in touch with the ex-
pected arrival Of Prince Louis of Bat
tenberg and the British squadron at
Annapolis about November /. The
Governor said the Prince and the
other officers of the fleet will be busy
with engagements already made for
them by the naval authorities at the
Naval Academy. He also said: 81
purpose, however, to act in conjunc-
tion with the naval officers and in
tend to fill up any spare time these
distinguished visitors may have by
opening the Government House at the
capital for them. They will not leave
Annapolis without getting a genuine
taste of Maryland hospitality.

Declines To Run.

1t is understood that there will be a
vacancy on the Anne Arundel Repub-
lican ticket for the coming election
which will have to be filed between
now and the time of the printing of
the ballots. 1t has been learned from
good authority that Mr.. Henry Lehr,
named by the Republican county con
vention as a candidate for county
commissioner from the Fifth district,
has determined not to accept the nom
ination and will not run for Office.
The appointment of a man to fill the
vacancy caused by Mr.. Lehr's action
will be made by the Republican Coun-
ty Central Committee and it is under
stood that this body has Mr.. John
Holman slated for the place. Mr..
Holman ran for county commissioner
two years ago, but was defeated.
