Both Men Stand Pat.
Secretary Wilbur was asked more
than a month ago to decide the ques-

of the recent changes in the heads
of the Navy and Justice departments
he did not deem it an opportune time
to reopen the case. Now the matter

The family differences between
the two officers would prove espe-

He said the position Of the two ofi-

Old family troubles are brewing away
out in the Pacific ocean between two
American officers Of rival services, and
two great government departments in
Washington have been asked to decide
a matter of precedence in rank between
the officers commanding the military and
naval Establishments in Hawaii.
The question of precedence will prob
ably be given to the Attorney General
for settlement, and may go to the Presi-
dent of the United States.
The two officers concerned in the mat
ter are Maj. Gen. Charles p. Summerall,
military commander of the Hawaiian
department, and Rear Admiral John d.
Mcdonald, commanding the fourteenth
naval district. at Honolulu. The contest
over precedence has again become acute,
after an apparent cessation, with the
forthcoming visit of the British fleet
commanded by Vice Admiral Field.
May Refuse Invitations.
Chiefs of staff of the respective
officers have advised Gov. w. r. Far
rington Of Hawaii that their chiefs
will refuse to accept invitations
where the priority in rank of one over
the other is not recognized. So the
matter stands today while Secretary
Of the Navy Wilbur and Secretary

to be made on it by that department
is understood to have been conveyed
informally TO the President late yes

today for a discussion of the bill and
his visit was preceded by a confer
ence between the President and Rep
resentatives Longworth of Ohio, Re-
publican House floor leader. and
Madden, Republican, of Illinois. AL
though this conference dealt largely
with the legislative situation in the
House, the immigration bill also was
discussed.
Senator Reed said he could not
make a statement as to the action
contemplated by the President, but
added:

The Pennsylvania senator has held
from the first that the bill finally

81. 400, 900 Deficiency . 81;
Appropriation Needed
To Provide Increases

A deficiency appropriation of ap-
proximately $2,490,000 win be re.
CURED to carry out the salary in
creases voted by Congress to Dis
trict school teachers, firemen and
police, Daniel j. Donovan, District
auditor, declared today.
This amount will be asked in the
second deficiency appropriation bill
to be brought before Congress.
The So, AGO. 900 item, Auditor Dono-
van explained, will be the amount
required above the regular appro-
priation for 1925.
It will constitute, however, an
actual increase Of only approxi-
mately $1,50O,000s in the basic pay
and bonus now accorded to these
District employees.
OF the $2,490.000 appropriation,
approximately 100000 will be re-
quired for the teachers salary in
creases, $755,000 for the police de-
partment increases and approx
mately $535,00 for the increases in
the firemen's pay.
These two latter increases, Major
Donovan explained, include appro.
priations which will provide for in
creased forces to carry out the pro-
vision Of the increase pay bill that
authorizes one day holiday in seven
for the police and firemen.
Major Donovan emphasized the
fact that as the measures for the
1925 appropriations do not allow for
the bonus now being paid to the
workers in the three departments,
the total deficiency appropriation Of
100000 represents the total
amount of money necessary to pro.
vide for the increases voted over the
present basic salaries.
