Secretary Metcalf Is Deter
mined to Put a Stop to
Wire Pulling.
Learns of Lobby at Capitol
In Interest of ReOrganiza-
ton Bill.
Letters Sent by Officers In
= VOlVing MidShipmen In
Campaign for Promotion.

Politics in the navy must come to
an end; there is TO be no more pO-
litioal wire pulling on the part of
officers, at the risk OF losing their
commissions.
This is the decision of Victor H..
Metealf, the new Secretary OF the
Navy, who has plunged into the
work Of his Office up TO his head,
and has both hands on the helm.
An Of1ieial ediet TO this effeet is ex-
pected TO be promulgated almost
any day.
To chiefs of a number of bureaus in
the Navy Department Secretary Metcalf
has expressed himself in emphatic terms
against attempts ON the part OF a num-
Der of line officers to obtain Congress
sional influence through the work OF
midshipmen. II was an unique scheme
and at FIRST seemed so improbable tIfat
II was not credited. till letters have be-
gun 10 reach the Secretary from An
napolis, from all parts of the country.
from members Of Congress, telling how
attempts have been made TO drag them
into the fight between officers Of the
line and of the stan for supremacy in
the matter OF titles.
Hears of a Lobby.
The knowledge OF these attempts was
brought 10 Mr.. Metcalf yesterday. after
he had exploded his bomb Friday, con-
corning what steps should be taken to-
ward adjusting the grievances Of the
stan officers. by appointment OF the
stan board, and notifying them that
they must bide their time Til Congress
has acted on the petition OF the line
men. Yesterday the Secretary was noti-
He'd by several callers and a score Of
letters that a lobby is being conducted

Congress OF the bill 10 reOrganize the
personnel of the navy.
According 10 these informal charges
made, a large number of officers. many

have drafted a circular letter 10 each
midshipman at the Naval Academy.
which IL is suggested the midsnipmen
address their fathers. asking the latter
10 write their respective Congressman,
urging the passage of the personnel
bill. or at least such part Of il as eff

claims on titles.
Makes Promotion Rapid.
This bill has a tendency 20 make pro-
motion In the line much more rapid
than il ever has been, and every Off
Ger OF the line is, therefore, personally
interested in seeing II become a law.
In their desire 10 secure the passage
