SITUATION ABOARD SHIP
SAID TO BE UNBEATABLE
Complaints and Sensational Stories
Concerning Captain George Il.
Evans Harshness Caused Navy De-
partment to Send Officer TO Make
Personal investigation.

Rear Admiral Dillingham;, U. S. N,
ie on board the scout cruiser Salem,
in Hampton Roads, inyestigatig
charges of harsh and cruel treatment
OF seamen against the cruiser
commander. Captain George II. Evans.
The admiral was sent here by the
navy department to conduct per
sonal inquiry into the conduct OF
Captain Evans and the state OF al
fairs on board the Salem, complaints
and sensational stories having reach
cd the department.
The Salem was scheduled to join
her sister ship, the birmingham, on
81 cruise to South America and the
West coast of Africa, and there has
been considerable speculation as to
why the departure from Hampton
Roads was delayed. Ii is clear now
that the vessel was ordered 10 remain
in port pending the arrival OF Rear
Admiral Dillingham;.
Admiral Still Aboard.
Nothing could be learned last night
concerning the result of the admirafs
first day of investigation aboard the
ship. At Old Point it was stated
that the admiral had not come ashore
and no information as to how long he
probably would remain in this section
could be obtained.
The following Associated Press dis
patch from Washington throws more
light upon the affair than any in
formation to be had at this end:
Situation Unbearable."
Inquiry at the navy department
developed the fact that for some
time past complaint has been heard
that Captain George r. Evans was
applying the naval regulations with
undue severity on board the Salem
1t was alleged that the discipline
was harsh in the extreme and that
lack of tact had been shown in
handling the men, who were punish
ed for the most trivial offense until
the situation aboard the ship became
unbearable.
The department, by no means was
satisfied that these allegations were
truthful. but to settle all doubt, sent
Admiral Dillingham; to Hampton
Roads to make a personal investiga-
ton of the state of discipline aboard
the Salem.
Corrective Measures"

report and. if necessary, will apply
measures, even if these involve a
change in personnel

The theory of the states attor-

the old women did not want him
