done upon the resignation of Paymaster
General Rogers. Rogers was surrounded
by officers thoroughly in sympathy with
him and who acted as advisers. Accord
ingly, the last one Of them has been ship

Capps has been assisted by half a dozen
or so of the ablest constructors in the
navy. Not all were in entire sympathy
with him in his opposition to the Meyer
reorganization scheme. Consequently II is
likely that several OF them will remain
in the bureau, despite the change in IT'S

There will be q general overhauling OF
the corps, however, outside of Washing
ton by transfers and other methods.
1t Is reported that Naval Constructor
Joseph H. Linnard, who has been assist
ant chief Of the construction bureau, will
apply for retirement. He Is the senior Of
ficer of the corps.
Naval Constructor Watt is a personal
friend Of Secretary Meyer and has been
publicly commended by him for faithful
ness and efficiency. He is a native Of
Pennsylvania, and was appointed to the
service from that state In 1887.
He was one of the highest men in his
class at the Naval Academy. He has
been in charge of construction work at
the Norfolk yard since August, 1907.
He now stands number twelve in his
grade, and has the rank of lieutenant
commander. AS chief of the construction

woman and today cabled the police of the
United States requesting the arrest of the
woman's husband, DR.. Hawley Harvey
Crippen, also an American, who is be-

The case is strikingly similar to that
of the Charlton murder at Lake Como,
Italy. Both women were actresses who
left their American homes to meet death
by violence In foreign land. and in each
instance the police pursued the American
husband to the shores of his native land.
Porter Charlton was arrested In Ho-
