A SURPRISE FOR ne
NAVAL OFFICERS
is SPRUNG BY PRESIDENT RoosE
WELT, WHO APPOINTS A
COMMISSION.
TO CONSIDER NAVYS NEEDS
The Secretary Of the Navy was Not
Consulted In the Matter at All
and He Is Greatly
Astonlshed.

Washington. Jan. 2S. - President
Roosevelt is of the opinion that the
organization of the navy department
is not such as to bring the best re-
suits and yesterday he appointed a
commission whose announced duty
will be ito consider certain needs of
the navy" The presidents action
was somewhat of a surprise in view
OF the authorization by the senate Of
an inquiry into naval expenditures,
the conduct of business and the need,
IL any, of legislation to improve the
administration of the navy depart
ment.
Announcement of the presidents
action was entirely unexpected at the
navy department. Secretary New
berry, who had just issued an order
carrying out his proposed plan, with
particular reference to the navy
yards, appeared to be the most sur
prised of all. He declared that he
was not aware that the president had
taken such action, had not seen the
letter of appointment addressed to
the various members of the commits
sion and did not know the purport Of
the letter addressed to him. His first
information on the subject had come
to him from the press.
The president has sent identical
{ tiers TO each Of the eight members
the commission, which is headed
y Paul Morton, a former secretary
che navy, the other members be-
ng Justice Moody, also a former sec.
fetary of the navy; Judge A. G.. Day
ton, formerly chairman Of the house
naval affairs committee, and Rear Ad.
lnirals s. b. Luce, A. T. Mahan, VIII
liam ". Folger, Robley ID. Evans and
William s. Cowles, all of whom are
on Che retired list. He sets out GER
tain subjects for the commission TO
consider under two general heads,
first as 20 the fundamental principles
OF nn organization that will in.
silre an efficient preparation for
war IL time of peace, and, second.
ly. apecifc recommendation as to
the changes in the present organiza-
tlOa hat will accomplish this result.

can h. Cooper, Robin Cooper and
John ID. Sharpe, for the Staying of ex.
Senator h. W. Carmack closed with
no further progress in the selection of
the jury. Deputy sheriffs are riding
the county to summon the third
venlre of 500 talesmen to report Fri.
day.
Judge Hart spent the day hearing
Testimony as to the competency of
Juror Leigh and in formulating a
definition of drunkenness. About 60
witnesses were examined on both
sides. Those for the state we're posi-
tive that Leigh was drunk when Sc
lected, and was an habitual drunkard.
One man swore that Leigh had de-
clared that Senator Carmack was a
"blankety blank and should have been
killed long ago." Others said he had
expressed the opinion that, Sharpe
was innocent and that the Coopers
were justifiably provoked.
Defense witnesses admitted that
Leigh was a drinking man, that he
had taken "a few" the day he was
chosen on the Jury, but they insisted
that he was not drunk within the
definition of Judge Hart; that is, he
was not making a public nuisance of
himself.
Judge Hart's ruling was: "a man
Is drunk when he is so much under
the influence Of liquor that he be.
comes a nuisance to the general pub
tic. That will be the standard upon
which the court will decide this
CASE"
After both sides had closed, Judge
Hart called Juror Leigh, explained
the charges against him and told him
his privileges.
Il was drunk on Tuesday" Leigh
promptly agreed, "and also on We'd
nesday, the day was selected. l
never said Carmack should have been
killed long ago."
He said he had declared a belief in
sharpe's innocence, but denied say.
Ing anything about the Coopers.
He admitted that he had had two
drinks day since being on the Jury.
The court ordered Leigh returned
10 the jury room until his case was
decided, and Leigh was advised to
"cut out" the two drinks a day here
after.
