SECRETARY CALLS LIEUT. COM,
MANpER's OPINION "UNRELI
ABLE

WASHINGTON, March 9.--Although
admitting that there Is room for great
in provement In the construction OF
American battleships, the naval off,
GERS who testified before the senate
committee on naval affairs today, were
unanimous In their declaration that
the sweeping accusations OF ineffi-
cheney and faulty construction con.
tanned In the Reuterdahl charges were
without foundation.
Lieut.. Richard d. White, assistant
inspector of target practice. and, there
fore, closely associated with Lieut.
Commander Sims, went nearer the
point OF criticism in his testimony than
did Rear Admirals Goodrich and
Remey (retired), who followed him.
He declared that the present ammuni-
ton hoist, equipped with shutters Of
the type now used In the navy, Is
most inefficient as installed.
Admiral Remey said that he could
not subscribe to the sweeping charges
contained In the Reutsrdahl article.
Referring to the turret hoists, the Of
ficer said that the gun turret should
be isolated completely from the hand
ling room In order to secure for the
men below proper degree OF safety.
Goodrich Stands With Remey.
Rear Admiral G.. r. Goodrich, CON-
mandent OF the Brooklyn navy yard,
said that Admiral Remey's views coin
cided with his own, both as regards
the armor belt and the turrets.
At the conclusion OF Lieut.. Whites
testimony, Senator Hale read letter
from Secretary Metcalf. embodying
the substance Of conversation be-
tween the secretary of the navy and
the senator, Saturday afternoon. AL
though he reffained from mentioning
any names. Mr.. Metcalfs meaning
was perfectly evident when he stated
that the criticisms OF a naval officer
were most unreliable. Lieut.-Com-
mander Sims. who Is believed to be
the officer referred to, had recon.
mended to the navy department that
the armor belt should be increased 80
inches. Subsequently he reduced his
estimated armor increase to twenty
inches and when he appeared before
the senate naval committee he sug-
gested an increase of ten inches. The
great difference In the views express
ed by the officer, the secretary said,
illustrated how unreliable his opinion
was.
