|. IN SERVICE OF navy
ASKS LOWER PLACE
Thomas Harrison Voluntar-
lily Reduces Himself "For
Good of Service"

Probably the only case Of Its kind in
the history Of the Navy Department
developed today when Thomas Harri-
son, chief clerk in the Naval Observa-
tory, asked to be transferred to a posi-
tion with less salary. for the good Of
the service.
Mr.. Harrison Is the oldest clerk, from
the point Of service. in the Navy Depart
ment. On the eth Of this month he will
have been an employe Of the depart
ment sixty-three years. He went to the
navy the year following the Mexican
war and has sarved continuously ever
since.
Old age has come on him, however, and
he feels his usefulness waning. He has
volunteered, therefore, to take a posi-
ton Of less responsibility and less pay.
When he first approached Assistant
Secretary Beekman winthrop about 1t,
the official refused to approve the trans
fer, taking the position that an employe
with the record OF faithful service now
to the credit OF Harrison should earn
him all the money possible. regardless
of advanced age.
The old clerk, however, renewed his
request and personally explained the
situation to his superior. After this
Mr.. Winthrop stood aside and ordered
that the transfer be made. Mr.. Harrf-
son next week will. be a 81 400 a year
clark instead pf receiving 1880 a year
