CURTAiL Navy YARDS
is MEYERS ADVICE
Secretary Declares Three 4
Atlantic Coast Enough.

Washington, June 20.-Secretary of
the Navy Meyer discussed before the
house committee on expenditures in
the navy department his plans for cen
centrating navy yard work and absn-
doning plants that would not be need
ed in time of war.
The secretary, it is said, will recon-
mend the abandonment OF the ya1ds
at Portsmouth, n. H.; Philadelphia
and Charleston, S. c., and have those
at Boston, New York and Norfolk pie
pared for handling all construction
and repair work done by the govern
ment on the Atlantic coast.
Secretary Meyer recommended to the
house committee on naval affairs last
session that the navy yards at Sack
ett's Harbor, Port Royal. Pensacola,
New Orleans, San Juan and Cayit4be
abandoned.
He said that after further consider
alton of the subject he had determined
that three navy yards on the Atlan3ic
coast and three on the Pacific coast
would be amply sufficient in time Of
war.
Consideration as to what yards
should be abandoned, he said, had
been referred to the joint army aud
navy board.
In the event of war operations in
the Pacific, Secretary Meyer said that
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, which he de-
scribed as the "Gibraltar of the Pa
cifc," would be the base of operations
for the United States fleet.
You say" queried Representative
Hardy, chairman of the committee,
that the Philippines have been absn-
doned as a naval base. Does that mean
that we would abandon the islands in
lime of war;"

oeed under the Tucker act. Judge Clay tons letter is as follows:
 Dear Sir: Your letter of recent date is just received. Replying I have to say that the recent enactment of Congress provides for the payment for property that was taken after June 1, 1865, where the property so taken was sold and the net proceeds of the sale thereof was turned into the treasury of the United States. And there must De in the treas ury department here some actual record Of the proceeds of such sale having been actually covered into the treasury. If your case comes within these require ments you should proceed with it in the court of claims.
 ''As to- Loyalty: The recent enactment of Congress relates back to the captured and abandoned property act, passed shortly after the war, and extends the provisions of that act to certain claims as mentioned above. Tie supreme court of the United States, and the court of claims, in construing said captured and abandoned property act, have held that it's provisions requiring proof of loyalty were satisfied by the pardon contained in Andrew Johnson's general amnesty proclamation; and while it will be con teuueu Dy lDS government dllOIntNS that these decisions will not be applica- ble to the provisions of the law above referred to, yet competent attorneys, eX- perienced in the practice before the court of claims, believe that these decisions will he held by the court to be applicable to these provisions, and that it will not be necessary to adduce proof of loyalty.
 '1n case the property was taken or de- stroyed before the 1st of June, 1865, you rttll al,t 1<,. tlo Tucker act. It will be necessary to have 2 resolution passed by the House or Sen ate referring your claim to the court of claims, where it can be prosecuted to a determination; then if the finding of said court is favorable to the claimant, bill must be passed appropriatng the amount of money found by the court of claims to he paid to the claimant. It is proper to say in this connection, however, that it is extremely unlikely that Congress will appropriate money, even in case of finding, to pay a claim, unless Ealty oe the original owner of the property can be proved.
 'In case your claim comes within the requirements above set out and you de- eide to prosecute 1t, it might be well for you to have some competent attorney here to represent you.
 ''As you are doubtless aware, there is a United States statute which forbids member of Congress acting as attorney or agent in the prosecution or collection ofa claim against the United States. This, of course, precudes me helping you in the courts, but you may be assured that I stand ready to serve you in every other way possible, and if khere is any thing further that I can do for you in connection with this or any other matter p'ease let me know With best regards, | am, etc. HENRY & CJAYTON.' 7

CLAYTON WRITES ID COTTON CLAIMANTS Explains Measure Passed By Last Congress LAW IS VERY STRICT Recovery Can Be Made Only on Cot ton, the Proceeds of Which Went
 Into the Federal
 Treasury

Washinston, July 14.-(Special.) )-There has been considerable misapprehension on the part of a great many people in Alabama as to the exact provisions and purport of the measure which passed the last Congress providing for the payment to owners of cotton or other property taken after the war for federal officials, or to the heirs of such owners. The gen. era impression seems to have been that an independent measure covering the sub rect was passed by the Congress at it's last session. This impression is errone- ous The whole substance of this enact ment is included in a single section of ''An act to codfy, revise and amend the laws relating to the Judiciary" which section reads as follows:
 Sec 162. The court of claims shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine the claims of those whose property was taken subsequent to June l.. 1865, under the provisions of the act Of Congress ap- proved March F, 1863, entitled, An act to provide for the collection of abandoned rcoperty and for the prevention of frauds in insurrectionary districts within the
 
 thereof where the property so taken was solo and the net proceeds thereof were placed in the treasury of the United States; and the Secretary of the Treas ury shall return said net proceeds to the owners thereof. on the judgment of said court, and full jurisdiction is given to said court to adjudge said claims, and statutes of limitation to the contrary notwith- standing.
 There is also considerable misunder- standing as to the extent of the law. The impression seems to prevail generally throughout the section of the United States which is affected by the law that 1t is only necessary go prove by ordinary methods of producing evidence that cer- tain cotton or property was taken and that thereupon the court of claims will render finding for the value of such cotton. This is also erroneous. The sec ticn applies only to cotton other prop erty taken subsequent to June 1, 1865, and no evidence is sufficient except the off cia, records of the treasury department, which must show, in order to entitle claimant to recover, that the property was taken. sold and the proceeds thereof actually covered into the treasury of the United States.
 Judge Clayton, who has had numerous inquiries from his constituents and others residing in Alabama, has formulated letter covering the entire subject in succinct way, which clearly sets out all the provisions and requirements of the law. Judge CIaytons letter also directs those who have claims for property taken of destroyed by federal agents in such cases as do not come within the require nlents of the recent enactment to pro-
