ADMINISTRATION
NAVY BUREAU HELD FOR The
CRITICISM OF BOATS.
II Ships Are Being Constructed on
Wrong Lines, President Roosevelt
VIII Call HaIt-Commander Keys
Report on the North Dakota Calls
Forth Prompt Action by President.

Prospects are that a row in the navy
department is due that will make the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS upheaval
of this spring appear tame. The dis
turbance is expected this week when
the president and a distinguished
gathering of naval officers will meet at
the navy war college at Newport Criti-
cism of the new battleship North Da-
kota will be the subject and the presi-
dent is determined to get to the bot
TIM of the facts.
If the ships are being constructed
on wrong lines he intends to call a
halt on further plans along these
lines, and the clash of bureaus that
will ensue in that event will be aug
mented by the crashing of the big
stick on ancient custom. Great pre-
cautions are being taken to keep the
public in ignorance of the discussion.
The first topic to be taken up, and
the real cause for the calling of the
conference, is the report of Com
mander Key to the president, in which
he made sweeping criticism of the
4>Oith DdAOld, olSttl snip VI lHe OSld-
ware. These criticisms have been kept
a profound secret, even from naval
officers. 1t is accepted that one of the
chief criticisms made relates to arma-
ments. The manner in which the 10
12-inch guns were mounted was mat.
ter of discussion at the time the plans
were drawn. The bureau of ordnance
at the time declined to permit any
Interference with it's plans.
1T would surprise few if the presi
dent, III view of all the circumstances
abolished the present naval board on
construction and substituted for it a
board of design with wholly different
membership.
In the opinion of naval officers sta.
toned here there is every prospect
for the greatest row in years in the
department. 1t may mean the deposi
ton of several of the older officers
who have run affairs at their OWL
sweet will for many years. AS these
officers have friends in high places the
swing of the presidential big stick
will probably be followed by storm
of protest.
