FOREMAN LOSES IN
HIS ACTION TO Be
RETIRED BY navy
Court Holds Applicants
designations Have Dis
qualified Him.

In an opinion handed down by JUS
tice Barnard, of the District Supreme
Court. a demurrer to the answer of
Secretary of the Navy Meyer. i'm the
case of George L. Foreman, former
paymaster's clerk, who seeks retire.
ment, is overru;ed.
\ Foreman sued for a writ OF manda-
mus against the Secretary of the Navy
to have mis- name placed on the re-
tired list, claiming he had served ss
paymasters clerk and in other clerical
capacities4in the Navy for more than
thirty years, and, consequently, was
eligible for retirement at the age Of
sixty-two years. The department an
swered the bill with the contention
that, although Foreman had been pay-
masters clerk at the navy pay station
In San Francisco, he was considered a
civilian pay clerk, his name being on
the civil service fist as such. Also. It
was set forth Foreman had resigned
before the mandamus proceedings were
begun
Justice Barnard says In his opinion
relative to retirement legislation:
1T was not contemplated by Con-
gress that officers were to be retired on
reaching the age of sixty-two years. un-
less they had been continuously in the
service for forty-fve years, and for
that reason, the relator, even II he is
an officer within the meaning of that
section. which is questionable, fails to
show clear case. emitting him to the
right of retirement.
''IIis amended petition shows he was
employed I'm various capacities as writer
clerk, special laborer, paymaster's clerk.
ETC., for various short periods before
his final appointment. but these various
periods were terminated on three oc,
casions by his volutary resignation.
Taken all together they do not seem
sufficient to warrant the court in hold.
