SIX VICE ADM|RA[S
PLAN NOT POPULAR
Naval Officers Dissatisfied
With Measure as 1t
Passed the Senate.

Deep dissatisfaction exists on the part
Of naval officers to the bill which the
Senate passed last week providing for six
vice admirals, and n change of heart on
the part of Navy Department officials
concerning the original statement regard
ing the need for six vice admirals and
eighteen rear admirals resulted today IN
a call for meeting Of the House naval
affairs committee to meet tomorrow re-
Sarding the Padgett bill.
This measure introduced after Secre-
tary Daniels of tho Navy Department
had indicated his favor for the estab-
rshment of the grade of vice admiral,
was changed in the Senate. The
original intention was to establish six
new ofices-to be filled by rear adj
admiral.
Meant Promotions for Forty-Two.
The resulting promotions all down the
line would affect forty-two officers. CIV
Ing them all lifts into the grade above
them
The Senate changed the bill SO that
there will still be six vice admirals. but
reduced the number of rear admirals
to twelve. instead of eighteen as at
present. and placed the retirement age
at siXty-tive.
Naval officers i'll Washington have
been very much i'll favor of the Padgett
BILL and so have members of the House
naval affairs committee, with the eN-
ception of the smaller navy con-
tingent. who are firmly opposed to in
creasing expenditures in any way.
Representative Britten of Chicago. a
member Of the naval affairs commit
tee. started out today to make a per-
sonal canvass of the committee with a
view to standing pat on the Padgett
bill as originally introduced.

again put In charge of the general
staff's Typographical work In Sonora.
He participated in subsequent Yaqul
campaigns and also In the campaign
In Yucatan against the Maya Indians.
Huerta commanded all the detached
government forces in the state OF
Guerrero at the. beginning of the Ma
dero revolution. When Madero sue
coded to the presidency, General
Huerta was sent back into Morelos
with a force to put down the Zapata
rebellion. AS result of i'll feeling
growing out of this campaign, Huerta
was recalled. Subsequently he led the
army sent against Orozco, and was In
command at the battle OF Bachimba-
For this service he was promoted to
major general.
In the second Felix Diaz revolution.
which resulted in the overthrow of the
Madero government, Huerta was Inn
mediately called to active command as
the senior ranking general then
in the capital. He escorted Ma
dero from Chapultepec castle to the
palace on the first of the ten days
fighting and was placed In entire COM
mand Of the forces of the government.
He directed the government troops
during all the subsequent fighting, and
the conduct of these operations led 10
severe criticism on the part Of Made
ro's friends.
1t was charged that he did not carry
out the operations with any spirit and
that he disobeyed the commands of
President Madero 1t is said that be-
fore Banquet entered the city the
generals had a conference at which
the fate of the Maderos was sealed.
Huerta was the moving spirit in the
contamination Of the plot that result
ed in the seizure of the person Of
President Madero, his brother, Gus.
tave, and Vice President Jose Pine
Saurez. The assassinations of the
Maderos and Saurez followed, and In
the meantime Huerta, with the mill.
tary behind him, had been recognized
as the provisional president.
Huerta at once sought recognition OF
the United States, for It is understood
In Latin-American countries that none
of their presidents can hold ONCE long
without being recognized by the Amer
lean government. President Wilson
however. refused to treat Huerta M
