upon Ills MOTaI IldTdCIST.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE applica-
tion of Rear Admiral Barry for retire
ment has been approved by President
Taft and he has been transferred to
the retired list of the navy.
The navy department has received a
telegram from Rear Admiral Thomas,
who was appointed to succeed Ad-
miral Barry, that he had assumed
command of the Pacific fleet The
navy department issued the order re-
firing Admiral Barry ON Saturday and
advised him of that fact by telegraph
This action was taken before the
publication of the allegations that Off
GERS of the flagship West Virginia con-
templated charges against the admiral
rejecting upon his moral character.
1t was reiterated at the navy depart
ment that no charges had been filed
here against Admiral Barry and all
that was known officially in regard to
his retirement was that he desired to
avail himself of the privilege granted
by law to voluntary retirement after
forty years active service.
Officers Demanded Action.
San Francisco, Jan. 17.-According
to reports published here Admiral
Barry sent his request for relief to
Washington following a conference
with the staff and line officers on
board the West Virginia. At this con-
ference, it was reported, the sugges-
tion was made that a loaded revolver
be sent to the admiral's cabin, but
this suggestion was lost on a vote.
The Off GERS present then took an oath
of secrecy on condition that Admiral
Barry forward his resignation to
Washington at once.
Instead of resigning the admiral re-
Quested retirement. After that fact
became known the subject matter of
the conference leaked out until all the
sailors of the feet were talking. Ad-
miral Barry says:
ut Is not true that / have been
forced to retire. Men have asked for
immediate retirement before. The
reasons that have caused me to do
this are partly public and partly pri-
vate.
"The man who is triumphantly vim
dicated under such circumstances is
as much loser as if the charges were
proved to be true. | believed that by
rAuuasting Immediate retirement
could save the navy scandal"
