CHIEF YEOMAN HODAPP
MAY YET GET PLACE
Secretary Daniels Recommends Him
for Appointment to Pay
Corps Vacancy.
To Attend Corner Stone Laying.

Secretary Daniels has recommended to
the President the appointment of Chief
Woman John d. f. Hodapp as assistant
paymaster in the navy, to fill a vacancy.
by permission of the Secretary of the
Navy said Mr.. Daniels, Mr.. Hodapp
appeared before an examining board at
the Washington navy yard November D.
1912. At that time there were eight va
cancies to be filled and eleven candidates
appeared: two of these did not complete
the examination. SO that Mr.. Hodapp was
rated as passing No. 8, and with too
low a mark to entitle him to the appoint
ment That this low mark was mainly
due to the mark he must have received
in 'adaptability' appears to be beyond
question Mr.. Hodapp succeeded in
bringing the whole matter to the personal
attention of Secretary Daniels, with the
result that the Secretary was convinced
that Mr.. Hodapp had not, at least in the
matter of adapability. received substan-
tial Justice Mr.. Daniels interrogated ex-
perienced officers of the navy of high
standing with whom Mr.. Hodapp had
recently served on board a battleShip, and
these officers highly commended Mr.. Ho-
dapp, both as to his character and eff
cheney as a chief yeoman. 1t was then
decided to have the examination papers
of Mr.. Hodapp examined by another
board of pay officers and to leave out any
mark for "adaptabiity,' with the result
that he received a very high mark, aver
aging about So out of possible 100. With
this result and being satisfied by his in
quiries and his own personal observation
as to the "adaptability" of Mr.. Hodapp,
Mr.. Daniels has nominated him for APP
pointment as assistant paymaster, to fill
a vacancy in the Pay Corps which has re-
Gently occurred.
The results i'm this case of Mr. Hodapp
are in further support of the judgment of
Mr.. Daniels in his decision to leave out
the question of "adaptabilty," with all
its vagueness. in the cases of examina-
tions some weeks ago to fill vacancies in
the Marine Corps.
