NAVAL PROBLEM GROWS
PUZZLE FOR SECRETARY .
Rear 4dmiraI PendletOn Implicated
in Panther Pamphlet

Washington April 21-The Secretary of the Navy
did not return to Washington to-day. and there
was persistent rumor the Navy Department
that he had stopped at Philadelphia to investigate
conditions there for himself. although the rumor
could not be confirmed The longer Secretary
Meyer remains away the more complex becomes
the situation which will confront him on his re-
turn. The investigation of the panther con
spiracy," which is being conducted for the Secre-
tary. brought light startling facts To-Day.
Rear Admiral E c. Pendleton, conmandant OF
the Philadelphia yard has been held not to be
seriously implicated in the affair because he failed
sign the Panther pamphlet. but II was as
covered to-day that the publication contained CON
fdental correspondence OF the admiral which couid
normally have been obtained only with his consent
other evidence seems to indicate that the officers
who are now members of the board Of Whlch Ad-
miraI Sperry is president were fully aware Oh t'ie
publication the pamphlet before knowledge OF 1t
reached the Secretary the Navy. Still other eV-
dence leads TO the belief that the pamphlet was
circulated somewhat extensively before II was
brought to the attention of the Secretary
A complication will be presented If. as seems
probable. eight OF the ten members OF the Spe'rS
board sign a report TO the Secretary urging the
adoption of the plan of reorganization advocated
in the Panther pamphlet only the chieDconstruc-
tor and the paymaster general dissenting ana dp-
proving the Newberry plan. That evidence Which
goes to show that the pamphlet crcula ed
the NAVY knew even of the secret meeting on board
the Panther, viii have to be further Investigated
in quarters II is emphaucally denied
The officers who signed the pamphlet represent
each grade OF line officer duty at the Philadei-
phia yard with the exception of the rear admiral

ment from duty al that place by Secretary New
berry for his activity in resisting Mr. NewberrFs :

posed that Rear Admiral Pendletons connection
with the pamphlet consisted Of nothing more than
indirect influence upon his Junior associates at the
Philadelphia yard 1t Is now discovered that IN
corporated in the text OF the Panther pamphlet
are letters from the official files OF the command
