METCALF RESIGNS
Secretary of the Navy Quits Office on
Account OF III Health
December I.
TRUMAN H. NEWBERRY NAMED
New Aopointee Expected to Hold Of
flee Also During Taft Regime
Is Familiar with the Work.

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 14-Secre-
tary of the Navy Victor H. Metcalf
rendered his resignation to the presi-
dent yesterday. it will take effect on
Dec 1. The president accepted his
resignation and appointed Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Truman H.
Newberry as his successor.
Ill health was the cause of Nh. Met
calf's resignation. He has been suf-
fering for a year from nervous break
down that has rendered it impossible
for him to remain at his desk for any
length of time, and the chronic nature
of his trouble has caused him to aban-
don hope of recovery while burdened
with the cares of office.
In accepting Mr. Metcalf's resigna.
ton, the president recognized the i'm
possibility of his retaining office. and
expressed his reluctance to give up
the assistance which Mr.. Metcalf had
given him both as secretary of COM
merce and labor and as secretary of
the navy.
Choice OF Newbcrry Expected.
The appointment of Mr.. Newbcrry
comes as no surprise, for it has been
generally understood that he was the
man for the navy portfolio should Mr.
Metcalf find it necessary to retire.
The appointment also is recognized as
one which is almost certain to con.
tinue into the term of Mr. Taft. Mr.
Newberry has been a close friend ami
staunch supporter of the president
elect
Secretary Newberry has had naval
service. He took great interest in the
Michigan state naval brigade a few
years ago, serving successfully as
landsman, lieutenant and navigator
He volunteered for service in the
Spanish war and was given com
mission as a lieutenant of the junior
grade in May, 1898. He served
| throughout the war on the Yosemite
Success as business Man.
Mr.. Newberry entered the naval de
partment as a business man, having
been director in several manufactur
