WASHINGTON, Dec. "a.
Rear Admiral Brownson,
chief of the bureau of naviga-
ton of the navy department,
retired voluntarily today aft
er a serious disagreement
with President Roosevelt re-
garding naval policies, and
because Brownson in a public
interview stated that the or
ganization of the navy is bad.
Brownson and the president
had lively setto several days
ago over the matter, and, after
deliberating over it. the admiral
wrote a tart letter to the presi-
dent.
This communication was read
at the cabinet meeting today.
and the president, who was very
angry about what Brownson
said, directed that the resigna-
ton be accepted at once This
was done.
For some weeks charges have beer
made by Henry Rsuterdahl. a marins
artist, that many OF the best ships Of
the navy were defective These
charges have been given wide publica-
tion. and the president and the secrs.
tary- OF the navy suspected that some
OF the naval officers on duty in wash

Reuterdahl. An investigation has been
made and the president Is confident

formation. He will not disclose the
name OF the suspected officers.

made at the White House and tha
president will not make public the
Brownson letter which angered him
Neither will Brownson give out the

FORT WORTH. Tex, Dec 24-wn-
liam Jennings Bryan today has strong
er hopes OF becoming president Of the
United States than when nominated
twice before for that Office. That he
expects to lead the democratic party
TO victory in the 1908 campaign he
made known 70 party leaders OF Texas
who entertained him today while on
his way to Houston. where he viii join
Governor Campbell for a weeks hunt
Ing at Lake Surprise.
Bryan was welcomed here by Colonel
r. n Wynnes George Garden. chairman
OF the state democratic committee; J.
C. McNealus. it's secretary. and other
prominent citizens Texas is strong
Tor Bryan and. feeling himself among
his stancbest supporters, this prob
ably made him discuss political issues
and his own ambitions TO q greater
extent than since he was mentioned
Tor the presidency
He declared that his party was gain
sng strength daily and viewed the en-
tire situation most optimis tically. The
Nebrasksn frankly stated TO the dele
cation that with himself as the stand
ard bearer OF the democratic party he
fully expected TO win over Taft.
Hughes. Cannon or any one the repub-
7iezns should nominate. He believes
g7oosevelts withdrawal from the race,
the recent financial panic and the con-
tests between prominent republicans
for the presidential nomination will
greatly contribute to the democratic
success at the polls next year.
Tor the first time since the national
campaign began. Bryan today outlined
snS named at least one plank which he
seys should be incorporated in the
Democratic platform. The commoner
editor asserted that national law
should at once be enacted 60 insure
deposits in ali national banks. and
especially commended the new banking
law OF Oklahoma. which he said should
be {. model for the national measure.
He believes the democratic party
should urge this before congress. and
said he would give the proposed bill
bis warm support
After saying that lack OF confidence
brought about this Wall street money
stringency. Bryan pointed to what he
declared was an exploded fallacy OF
the Republican party that financial dis
tress never had swept over the coun-
while il was in power. and he
added that this panic would forever
