Rear Admiral
Barton Stricken
Head of Bureau of Steam Engineer
ing Has an Attack Of
Apoplexy,

WASHINGTON. Nov. M-Rear Admiral
John X. Barton, chief Of the bureau of
steam engineering Of the Navy depart
ment, was stricken at his desk today.
lie was hurried in an ambulance to the
Navy Medical hospital. where surgeons
declared his trouble was due to a rush OF
blood to the head, which constituted a
mild form aOf apop,exy. He was reported
as resting easy and his recovery is said
to be assured.
This is the second attack OF the kind
that ~the\naval officer has suffered. The
first occurred last fall, when Admiral
Barton was on an inspection tour Of the
League Island navy yard. He was con-
fined to a Philadelphia hospital for sew
eral weeks, ultimately returning to Wash
ington to be retired from the service by
a medical board on the ground Of physical
disability.
Subsequently Admiral Barton raised the
point that he had been unjustly deprived
Of his position as head Of the bureau OF
steam engineering. The Department OF
Justice was asked for an opinion and the
report OF the attorney general sustained
the action OF the retiring board.
