Admiral. B|.R()N
SON RESIGNS
Considerable Speculation Is Is;
IN INDUCED in Over
This Step
Was Chief Of Navigation and
Directed Movement Of
Batileship Fleet

Washington, %, g. Dec. Dill
gent inquiry from Rear ADMIRAL Brons
son, from Secretary Metcaif and at
the White House failed to develop the
reason for the resignation of Admiral
Bronson, announced today.
Two theories have been advanced
as being suf1fcient in themselves to-
bring forth the letter of resignation.
I One Of these reasons Is that the adj
nira1 finds himself unable to agSee4
with the ideas OF the president re,
/ gRrling certain important policies to
be pursued by the bureau of nayiga-l
Z tion. 5s$ Y;
The other reason is that the rear
admiral being on the retired list OF
the navy. may not be legally con-
firmed by the senats to an appoint
ment TO active duty.
Admiral Bronson s app ointment as
chief of the bureau Of navigation was
made by the president during the re-
cess Of congress. It is customary for
the names Of recess appointee to go
Ito the senate on hts next convening5
after app intments have been mades
In tfe present case and because Of
4 the uncertainty Of the right sof reeirs'
E ed naval officers to be assigned to ac-
tive duty, Admiral Bronson's name
Y has been withheld from the senate
i pending the rendering Of q legal opin-
Hon III the case. The resignation and
its acceptance will obviate the rails
ing OF q question between the legisIa-
tive departments of the government.
as to the right Of retired officers to-
b appointed to active duty In time
OF peace. f5
Since Admiral Bronson took conn
mand of the bureau OF navigation,
that bureau has had to handle the
& question OF the cruise of the Atlantic
q Hectic the Pacific, the greatest peace
move of the navy during its history.
Commander Winslow, who has been
Il designated to act as the head Of the
4 navigation bureau, has for some time
been assistant to Admiral Bronson,
d and consequently is familiar with the
duties Of the bureau. However, it IL
known that Commander WinsloW Is
Z anxious to obtain command Of the new
battleship New Hampshire, SO it is
believed that his present designation
is intended to bridge over the inter
* val during which the president can
4 make a selection Of another officer.
Among the names mentioned in that
connection is that Of Captain Richard
son Glover, who at pres lent is head OF
the board Of inspection and survey,
and who was considered for that place
q at the time Admiral Bronson's term
of active service expired, and 1t was
supposed that he was to give way
to an officer on the active list. An.
other name which ii is know has been
considered in connection with the va.
cancy is that Of Lieut. tenant Command.
or VIM. s.. Sims, who is one of the
presidents aides, and who has attain
ed enlinence in the navy by his expert
s work IN connection with target prao-
tfce. 81 5

There are 100000 acres irrigated from

OF land are now irrigated In the
United States by means of pumps.

water supplies are ample, and the ex.

gion there is not a single fruit tree
