NAV ".

Upon making the announcement
| that Rear Admiral Julian l.. I,atimer
Judge advocate general of the Navy,
would be assigned to the Special
service Squadron. the statement was
made by the Secretary of the Navv
that he intended to take up with the
PRESIDENT the matter of selecting a
successor to Admiral I-atimer. and
also the new incumbentS for the Of
nee or chief of the Bureau of En-
glneerlng and chief of the Supply
Corps. Under the recently inaugu-
rated Navy Department policy that no
more bureau chiefs Will be reap
pointed, Rear Admiral John K. Robi-
son, chief of the Bureau of Engineer
ing, VIII probably not be reappoint ed
upon the the expiration of his term
the latter part of September.
Postponement in preparing the de-
tai of the flag officers who will Join
the Meet between now and June ii is
pointed out by officers on duty in the
Navy Department, is responsible for
the delay in selecting the next Judge
advocate general of the Navy and the
new chief of the Supply Corps.
Upon his relief as Commander-in-
chief of the United States fleet in
June, 1t is expected that Admiral
Robert +. Coontz will be assigned
to the General Board 1t is known
that the Secretary of the Navy
has had under consideration for
long time the gradual adoption Of a
policy which will expand the func-
tons of the General Board until thew
are conformable with the activities of
the war Department General Staff.
1t Is stated that the Secretary is con-
vlnced that the organization of the
General Staff for the Army IS su--
perior to that OF the Navy Depart
ment. The view is held by the Sec
retary that, although the fleet has
an efficient organization-that is. the
commander-in-c chief has co-ordi-
mated body-the Navy Department or
Ganlzation could be improved upon.
As an indication of the Secretary's
gradual adoption of a policy which
VIII enlarge the functions of the Navy
General Board, he has already taken
the initial steps in this expansion
process by referring to the General
Board a number of questions with re-
spect to a general policy. The Secre-
tary would go farther than this. it is
understood, by magnifying the func-
tons of the Navy General Board so
that 1T would be made a co-ordinat-
ing body and would be charged with
executing general policies and admin
lsterins the affairs of the naval es-
tablishment. In the development Of
this policy, the Secretary will have,
with the assignment of Admiral |
Coontz to the General Board. the sun
port of one Of the most efficient Off
GERS in the Navy.

UNKNOWN NEGRO
KILLED BY TRAIN
VagabOnd With Bundle of
Food Walks In Trains
Path Tuesday.
THROWN MANY FEET

Death came very suddenly and
perhaps mercifully to an unidentified
colored man of uncertain age who
walked in the path of a Chicago and
North western train Tuesday evening
at 1908 o'clock a half-mile south Of
the S;mmons baseball park. Whether
the man deliberately continued in the
path of the train after being aware
Of its approach, or whether his senses
were blurred by WEAKNESS or some
other cause, is a question which
neither Coroner Joseph Friend nor the
sheriff's officers who answered the
call, have been able to answer.
The train which struck the UNI
knoSn negro was 101 due at Kenosha
at ':12, and manned by Conductor
Kennedy and Engineer Flynn. The
accident happened just north of the
curve of the railway tracks at this
point. The engineer saw the man
walking just ahead Of him in the west
tracks after he had rounded the curve.
1t was too late to avoid the collision,
but the train was stopped as soon as
it was possible.
Twenty Minutes Search.
The train crew went back and looked
for the body which the engineer
knew had been struck by the impact
of the locomotive. For some time
they secuted in vain. There were no
cries of a suffering individual to
guide them, nor did the flashlight Of
the seeking men lead them to a white
visage. Presently after twenty MIN
utes's search, two of the crew came
upon the still figure thrown some rs
feet from the point of collision. He
was dead. Lifting up the helpless
form, the crew found that it was that
of a colored man. He was clad like
laborer, and apparently was on his
way into Kenosha on foot, perhaps to
seek work, or perhaps to continue
hitting the ties to some other city.
The victim who appeared to have
died instantly, without a moment in
which to appreciate the fate before
train, and taken into Kenosha. The
coroner and sheriff were notified by
officials of the train. Undersheriff
Joseph Knipfer and Deputy Sheriff
Otto answered the call.
Carried No Letters.
Coroner Joseph Friend reported
that no letter or other articles which
could identify the dead man were
found on his person. All that the
poor creature had were two onions
and green pepper. He carried no
cash, not so much as a penny.
This morning the coroner's jury
knIr 80 al hA
inquest will be held Thursday.
