E.2 CHIEFS TRANSFER
A PUZZLE TO OFFICERS
Promotion Expected for Bravery
in Explosion.

Navy Yard officers are puzzled by
the transfer OF Lieutenant Charles VI.
Cooke. ir.. from the submarine ser
vice to be engineering officer Of the
receiving ship Salem at the Boston
Navy Yard. Lieutenant Cooke was in
command OF the submarine E-2 when
the explosion occurred. last January,
killing five men and injuring nine. No
official blame was placed on Lieutenant
Cooke. according 10 the officers. who
said the technical information he gave
the Board of Inquiry about the disss-
ter showed he was ono of the best
submarine officers in the navy.
Lieutenant Cooke is already a. his
new post in Boston. but it is said his
heart is in the submarines. The young
lieutenant was badly shaken up over
the accident and gave heroic service in
rescuing several imprisoned men. He
remained in command Of the E-2 for
many weeks after the accident. and il
was thought he would receive the COM
mand of another submarine, since il
was shown HI was in no way RESPONSE
bic for the explosion.
Officers think Secretary Daniels may
want to get Cooke away from subma-
rnes temporarily and that he will
later be returned to the submersibles.

WHITkAN'S GRAB VETO
STARTS ROW OF BOSSES
Charges of Double Crossing
FLY Through Capitol.
fFron a star Correspond,n. Q, The Tr.bune

From a STAT Correspondent, o, The Tribune
Albany, April 3.-Charges that some
other Republican boss has double
crossed" Francis Hendricks, the Repub-
licsn boss of Syracuse, few thick and
fast through the legislative halls to-
night, following the veto by Governor
Whitman OF the Walters bill making
present of valuable abandoned canal
lands in Syracuse 70 the New York Cen
trail Railroad.
Senator Walters, author OF the bill,
served notice that he would try 10 pass
the bill over the Governor. veto. The
Syracuse Senstor has no hope OF carry
ing his plan into effect, but it is under
stood that Mr.. Hendricks desires to put
certain Senator'S on record, to find out
who threw the monkey-wrench into the
machinery. In addition, Senator Walt
ers effort TO pass the bill over the veto
will be helpful next fall, when he be,
gins his campaign for denomination and
election.
Governor Whitman vetoed the land
X
Woodbury. declared it unconstitutional.
The Hendricks men, however, are not
satisfied with this excuse. and they de-
clare that there is a Senegambian con-
cealed in the woodpile. Whatever the
thoughts OF the Hendricks men, they
were assured tonight that no help
would be forthcoming from the friends
Of George W. Aldridge, the boss OF
Rochester, in the efforts to override
the Governors veto.
Senator George +. Argetsinger,. who
usually speaks for Aldridge, declared
tonight that he would vote to uphold
the action of Governor Whitman, r.
respective of the wishes Of the SYRIA
cuse crowd.
No help is expected from Elon R.
Brown, majority leader of the Senate,
if the letter he sent to State Engineer
Williams few days ago counts for
anything. In that letter Senator Brown
said that if he had known what the bill
contained and what its effect would be
he would never have voted for It's
passage.

paredness question. The Secretary
said that was not the reason gives TO
him for the resignation.
Mr.. Britten asked that certain letters

Mr.. Britten. "I'm talking about put

How long would il take TO get 10000
men, train them, and put them on the

"If we had to take raw men. it would
take very long time" the Secretary
said. He added that in any great emer-
gency the navy could be made ready
in very short time. because there
were $4,000 former enlisted men in

Representative Galloway brought out
a statement that in the Secretary
opinion the backbone OF the navy

Strong Effort in House
Committee to Adopt
Compromise Plan.
READY TO BEGIN
FRAMING MEASURE
Hearings End with Secretary
Daniels's Final Plea for Five.
Year Programme.

Washington, April 3-The House
Naval Committee ended to-day its long
hearings on the 1917 naval appropria-
tion bill. Secretary Daniels closed a
three-day statement before the COM
mittee with final appeal for the Ad-
ministration's hve-year building pro-
gramme. A subcommittee will at
once begin framing the bill.
A determined effort will be made to
provide for six capital ships-two
dreadnoughts and four battle cruisers
as a compromise between the recon-
mendations Of Secretary Daniels and OF
the Navy General Board.
Mr. Daniels parted all efforts TO get
from him statement as to what rela-
tive place among naval powers the
United States should occupy. He said
the fve-year programme he had mapped
out would not put the country in sec
ond place, in his judgment, and that
the present Congress could not be
asked to make up for the deficiencies
Of twenty years past.
At the close of the European war,
the Secretary said. he believed a great
opportunity would come for interna-
tional limitation of armament, and,
with a strong building programme
adopted, the United States would be
in a better position to urge that move
ment successfully than if its fleet were
weak.
Thinks Specifications Revealed.
Representative Butler Republican,,
of Pennsylvania, assailed the Secre-
tary's recommendations for a govern
ment projectle factory. He also de-
clared he had reason TO believe That
the specifications for navy 14-inch
guns and other material had been re-
vealcd during Mr.. Dan;els's administra-
tion TO the Russian and German gov
ernments. He suggested that Rear Ad-
miral Strauss, chief of ordnance, be
asked 10 produce letter TO the krupp
company, Of Germany.
Rear Admiral Strauss was sum
moned later. and read the letter IN
question. II was a reply to an offer
made before the war by the Krupp
company TO supply l4-inch GYMS for the
I 4.
reau answered that if guns TO meet the
requirements outlined in the offer
could be provided the companys bid
would have attention.
"These are not the specifications OF
our l4-inch guns" Rear Admiral
Strauss said. They are for much
superior gum"
Both the Secretary and the Rear Ad.
miral said the. had no knowledge OF
any plans or other information having
been impaired to the Russian govern
ment.
Daniels Answers Criticisms.
Secretary Daniels replied to criti-
cisms Of himself implied or stated dur
ing the testimony of Rear Admiral
Fiske. ex-aid for operations, and be-
came involved in a warm controversy
with Representative Britten. OF Hi
nois. Republican. He said Rear Ad-
miral Fiske had sought appointment
as commander of the Atlantic fleet
when Rear Admiral Badger retired, and
had repeatedly requested it, TO the
Secretary's great embarrassment.
Mr.. Britten directed attention TO
Roar Admiral Fiske's statement that
