.HALE'S LAST STAND FAILS
Effort to Obtain New Honors for
Bureau Chiefs Defeated.
rFrom The Tribune pureau.l

washington, March 2.--Senator Hale mas
made q last supreme EFFORT TO help his
friends, former Chief Constructor Caps
and former Paymaster General Rogers, but
II is doomed 10 failure. Much relief was
afforded the line officers OF the navy to-day
by Senator Perkins, chairman Of the Com
mittee on Naval Afairs, who promised
THAT the Hale amendment TO the naval sp-
lpropriation bill, which. in effect, would en-
liable doctors, paymasters and naval con-
structors to command battleships, and
even fleets, would be modified TO prevent
such a catastro phe.
The line and staff controversy, which
has smouldered since Secretary Meyer has
been at the head of the department. fiared
out with much brightness when the line
discovered the amendment. In frantic
haste the officers rushed TO Senator Per-
kins and pointed out the disasters that
might occur if the amendment were
adopted.
Il provides that all officers Of the navy
serving on or after June q. 1910, as chiefs
Of bureaus, shall have, after twenty-five
years service. while on the active list,
the highest rank. title. pay and allowance
OF rear admiral, and shall be entitled 10
and shall receive new commissions after
twenty-five years service in accordance
with the rank and title hereby conferred. %
AZ modified by Senator Perkins, the
amendment will merely give the bureau
heads the title and pay of rear admiral,
without the commissions. which would en-
able them TO command either battleships
or fleets.
