THE NAVY REORGANIZATION.
Recommendations Contained In The
Personnel Bill.

The navy personnel board, appointed
last August to suggest such moditica
tions in the laws affecting the com
missioned personnel of the navy as
might seem to be advisable, has recon-
mended a remedy for two serious evils
in the line, namely, the absence of
opportunity for officers of flag rank to
familiarize themselves by actual ex-
perience with their duties as comman-
ders of fleets, divisions or squadrons
in the short time TO elapse an impend-
ing period of great stagnation in pro-
motion.
The board regards il as of the utmost
importance that there should be three
vics-admirals and twenty-one rear-ad-
mirals on the active list, the vice-ad-
mirals to be increased in number by
one for every increase of the person
mel by eight thousand. The active
list of the line officers, it is recon-
mended, should consist of seagoing
list of fifteen hundred officers below
flag rank, plus those carried as adj
ditional numbers. The present list, it
is declared, should be increased ac-
eordingly by not more than seventy
five numbers annually, in addition to
the vacancies normally created during
the year, until the total number on the
seagoing list be attained.
The report also recommends the
formation of reserve list of officers
for shore duty, with the pay and allow
ance now given to officers on shore
duty. In order, however, TO prevent
an excess of officers upon the reserve
list beyond the requirements of the
duties which they are TO perform, il
is recommended that an officer who is
transferred to the reserve list should
be retired on three-fourhs pay in one
grade higher than he holds when
placed on the reserve list. It further
is recommended that lieutenant com
manders transferred to the reserve list
be allowed to voluntarily retire as
such on half pay of grade, al the dis
cretion of the President.

BODY FOUND IN HARBOR
Unknown Manly Seaman Of The
Monitor Florida.

The body of an unidentified white
man was found floating in the harbor
this afternoon by two sailors from the
Z. ;. ;. Florida. lie was stout and
about Of middle height and appeared
TO be about 55 years of age. From his
dress he was evidently stevedore.
He wore hook in his belt as such
men use.
The body was in an advanced stage
of decomposition and had probably
been in tthe water for a month and
a-half. Much of the flesh of his face
bad fallen away from the action of the
water or been eaten away by crabs or
fish. on the left side of the face there
was a discoloration which may have
been the result of a bruise and above
the left eye there was a hole which
suggests the work of bullet.
Admiral Sands notified the Chief OF
Police, George Hahn, and the body
was viewed by DIR. James J. Murphy
and Coroner Feldmeyer. Both thought
there was no evidence Of foul play, as
the man had been probably drowned
from an ocean liner, and was found
in the harbor by the Florida. The
body had been in the water fully a
month and a-half. When found the
pockets were inside out. and ii sug-
gcsted the man had been robbed or
perhaps murdered. This theory was
exploded, however, by the physician
and coroner, who viewed the remains,
and it was said to be due to the action
of the water the many weeks the body
had been in the water. The man was
evidently foreigner.

GENERAL INCREASE OF PAY.
PAY Inspector 7. J. cowie's New Bill TO Be
Shortly introduced.
NE HAS the PROMISE OF SOME VERY
STRONG SUPPORT.
Includes The Army. Navy. Marine Corps.
Revenue Marine Service.

Pay Inspector +. J. Cowie, on duty
at the Naval Academy, has prepared
bill for the general increase OF
the pay of members of the commits
stoned and enlisted force of the Army,
Navy, Marine Corps and Revenue
Marine Service OF the United States,
to the extent OF 20 per cent. The bill
will be introduced during the present
session OF Congress and has promise
of strong support.
Attention is called TO tina fact that
the general pay is the services has re-
mained stationary for nearly forty
years. though the expenses of living
along nearly every line have very
much increased. Efforts TO obtain any
material improvement of the situa-
tion have generally failed because no
general scheme of advancement was
proposed. There have been efforts to
raise the pay of members of the ser
vice i'm special cases, but these have
generally had insufficient backing to
become law.
The bill prepared by Pay Inspector
Cowie provides for an increase of pay
amounting TO 20 per cent. for every
member OF the service mentioned,
from private or bluejacl<et TO
major-general or admiral. This, IL is
believed, does not cover the average
increase Of the costs of necessities.
The bill prescribes the pay of mem
bers of the Army and provides that
those of parallel rank in the other ser
vices shall receive the same.
The minimum pay of commits
stoned ofiieer--second. lieutenant in the
Army, or ensign in the Nayy--is TO
be 81, $50 per annum. All pay is scaled
up i'm proportion, brigadier generals
and rear-admirals receiving So. 600 per
annum. The present 10 per cent. in
crease for each five years of service
not 10 exceed four such increases, is
TO remain.
A number of special classes in the
service receive attention. Civilian
professors ut the Academies are allow
cd quarters or Communication of quarters
and fuel allowance. Warrant officers,
mates and pay clerks are to receive the
pay and allowances of second lieuten-
ants. Laws relating TO voluntary re-
tirement, at present applying only TO
the Army, are to apply to all services
and include officers, pay clerks, civil.
ian professors and all enlisted men.
Civilian professors are allowed SER
vice pay.
The pay of midshipmen at the Naval
Academy and cadets at the Military
Academy is fixed at 5000 year and
midshipmen, after their graduation
and before being commissioned as
ensigns. are to receive the same pay
as n second Lieutenant in the Army.
The bill represents the first attempt
to increase the pay of members of the
naval and military force of the United
States according 10 consistent plan.

The Secretary OF the intercollegiate
Athlctic Association makes this Official
statement: This games played with
score, were;

Maryland Agricultural vs.. Washing
ton. won by Maryland Agricultural,
score, $50.
The game scheduled between Western
MARYLAND and Maryland Agricultural
was not played on account of the abb
scnce of duly appointed officials, and
the Athletic Association decided that
the failure TO play this game was un-
ayoidable, and that neither of the
teams involved should suffer any pen
atty whatever
The association empowered the ath
letic committee to arrange a new date
for the playing of the game, if possible,
and resolved that the decision of such
committee should be final.
The athletic committee, after vain
effort To select a date that would work
no hardship 10 either of the two col
leges, decided that no game between
Western Maryland and the Maryland
agricultural Colleges should be play
cd. and the committee gave as a reason
for such conclusion that an arbitrary
selection of a time and place for the
game would be in the nature of pen
altv upon either of the colleges whose
athletic interests might be adversely
affected by such arbitrary selections
of time and place. Therefore, il is
true that the series of games in com
petition for the intercollegiate ban
ner has been finished, with the rec
ords of the teams as follows: Mary

Will TON MAY GET A
LARGE SUM OF MONEY

Alfred Wakeford. Wilton man, has
been passing checks rather freely Of
late and it is possible that he may be-
come involved in some trouble. The state
bank of Fairdale cashed check for
$IIe and the Farmers State bank one
for $2o5. The checks were drawn on
the State bank Of Milton. where Wake
ford had no funds Cashier Larson of
the State bank of Fairdale, followed
Wakeford to Grand Forks and got re-
turn of most of his money. Wakeford
returned to Milton, but left there on
the arrival of Assistant Cashier Arnot
of the Farmers State bank, and has
not been located.
Wakeford has been talking quite free
lysof late about ain inheritance Of $3o,-
900. which he claims. to have received
in England, but little credence has been
given the story at Milton. Fairdale,
however, appears to have taken quite
kindly to the narrative and was ready
ito lend a helping hand in the real estate
investments that he assured the citizens
he projected making in that town.
