NEW FLEET LEADER
NAVY SPECULATION
Successor to Sperry, Elk
pected to Retire, May Be
Schroeder.

Ranking line officers Of the navy are
displaying much interest in the selection
Of q successor to Rear Admiral Charles
y. SpeTy, as cOmmander-in-chlef of
! the Atlantic feet. Il is the genera
opinion that Admiral Sperry viii retire
from active command shortly after the
successful completion of the battIeship
fleet cruise.
rms line OF reasoning is based upon
the knowledge that Admiral Sperry will
retire from active service for age sep
tember 2. Il is not believed he Will wish
10 remain in active command after Gel
ebratiOn Of the homecoming. Like Ad-
miral Evans, who piloted the fleet on
the first half of it's cruise, Admiral
Sperry win probably spend the last
days OF his active career in Washing
ton, in duty Of an advisory character
He may be given a place on the re-
organized general board. or, for that
matter on the permanent reorganiza-
ton commission.
1t is unlikely that his successor will
be named until after March 1. when
President Taft, may. If he wishes. make
suggestion to the Bureau Of Navf-
cation. There are many officers eligible
TOT the berth, and IS the position Of
fleet commander has come 10 be one
Of the biggest jobs in the navy. there
will be many aspirants
II is the general belief that Rear Adj
miral Seaton Schroeder. senior real. ad-
miral on the battleship fleet, viii sue
coed to the command. He is. however.
junior to Rear Admiral Conway II.
Arnold, at present in command Of the
third squadron Of the fleet. which will
become the cruiser squadron, and his
resignation would necessitate the relief
Of Admiral Arnold from feet duty. Ad-
mlral Arnold is being counted out. be-
cause he has not had much experience
in command of battIesfiIp divisions.
Should Admiral Schroeder be made
commandeT-in-chief, this would leave
two vacancies i'm the squadron com
mands. These could either be filed Ivy
line Of promotions on the fleet. or by
detail Of officers from some other duty.

My daughter. twelve years Of age,

APPEAL FROM
Interstate
Freight RATE

ATLANTA, Ca, April 1.-The ap
peal from the increase in Interstate
freight rates made by the railroads
leading from middle western to South
Atlantic points about year ago will
be argued before the interstate COM
merce commission beginning today.
The increases affect classes B, D
and F, in the main heavy grain and
food products. Complaint was made
by the Macon Grocery Company, the
A. P. Morgan Grain Company, of At
lanta, and the state railroad commits
sions of Alabama and Georgia.
Members of the commission came to
Georgia several months ago and
heard testimony anept these advances
Time would not permit arguments,
which have to be made before the full
commission anyway
The complaining business firms,
who are represented by Wimbush,
Watkins & Ellis, of Atlanta, and the
railroad commission will be repre-
sented at the concluding hearing.
1t is unlikely that the matter will
be decided within several months.
