BARRY LOWERS HIS PENNAN1.
FOLLOWING FORMAL cEREMoN
les, ADMIRAL DENIES CHARGES.
Washington Seeks Facts and Cour,
Martial Seems Not to be
Improbable.

San Francisco, Jan. T.-Rear Ad
miral Edward B. Barry hauled dowr
his pennant and relinquished the com
mand of the Pacific fleet to Rear Ad
miral Chauncey Thomas. The cere
mony was marked by all the formali
ties prescribed by the regulations but
pecu4-ar and grave circumstances tc
which report ascribes Admiral. Barry's
student request Tor retirement, robbed
the occasion of the personal features
which custom has made part OF
such incidents.
After receiving the orders detaching
him from the command of the fleet
Admiral Barry made a short speech to
the assembled officers and men ex.
pressing warm feeling for the West
Virginia and regret at leaving the
cruiser
Instead of Immediately going ashore,
as is customary, the admiral retired
to his cabin where he waited until
night fall, when he stepped into the
motor launch awaiting him and was
taken to the naval landing.
While he was waiting in his cabin,
Admiral Barry talked to an Associated
Press reporter to whom he denied in
general and emphatic terms the stories
which have been published, concerning
the reasons for his unexpected retire,
.ment from the navy
In assuming command Of the Pacific
fleet with the California as his flag
ship, Admiral Thomas took over AID.
miral Barry's executive staff with the
exception of his secretary and flag
lieutenant.
Meyer Seeks Facts.
Washington, Jan. IL Secretary Of
the Navy Meyer telegraphed to the
Pacific coast for a full report on the
allegation that the retirement Of Rear
Admiral Barry was caused by the de-
mands for his resignation by the of
ficers of the flagship West Virginia.
The navy department declined to say
to whom the telegram asking for a
report had been sent, but it is assumed
that it was direct to Rear Admiral
Thomas, the new commander-in-chief
Of the Pacific fleet.
Not until the complaining officers Of
the West Virginia have been heard
from will the navy department be in a
position to determine whether there
shall be any proceedings in the case
of Admiral Barry. If it should be de-
cided in the affirmative, the mere fact
that the accused officer voluntarily has
retired would not shield him from pun
ishment in the case of a court martial
resulting in conviction.
