COLONEL PERKINS
 WILL BE RE|NSTATED
Navy Department Admits an Injustice Has Been
 Done Him

Washington May 1S.-(Speclal 1-Secre- tary of the Navy Meyer has finally be- come convinced that an injustice was done Colonel Constantine M. Perkins Of Georgia, who was forced out of the ma rine corps for mental instability, and to- day assured Perkins friends that no further obstacles would be put in the way of that officers reinstatement.
 Representative Hobson has taken an ae- tive interest in this case, believing Colo rel Perkins was the victim of con spiraey.
 The Howard bill for the restoration of Perkins to his former rank and number,
 is TOW before the House with a favorable report from the naval affairs committee. It is on the unanimous consent calendar.
 The whole conduct of the navy depart
 nent in this case has been inexplicable. Having done an injustice to an efficient and capable officer, they have moved heaven and earth to sustain their unjust award. Every method of delay and ob- struction has been practiced for four years to prevent action by Congress over turning the departments action
 Secretary Meyer yesterday went over the whole case with members of the navy retiring board All present admitted that Perkins had entirely refuted the findings of the former board.
 Another mysterious fact in the peculiar chain of events which have been forged against Perkins in this conspiracy, was a letter written by Beekman Winthrop, As- sistant Secretary of the Navy to Presi- dent Taft in March, containing a num- Der Of statements he later admitted to be false One was that the Perkins case had been passed on by three congresses and that q bill for the officers reinstate- ment had been vetoed by MT. Taft. Asked by Secretary Meyer why he had written such letter. MT. Winthrop could not explain it. He said he had meant to say a similar case had been passed upon by the President.
