VALET OF 81 YEARS AGO TELLS
OF LEAVING ADMIRAL MOFFETT
Akron Disaster Recalls Story of Colored Boy Now anitor
in D. c. Apartment House, Who Idoized Seafarer.

Death has Cancelled the visit for
mer valet planned for 81 years to make
on the master he idolized.
In early March, 1902, Rear Admiral
william A. Moffett, who died at his
post on the Akron, was lieutenant
stationed aboard the st. Mary's, . SAIL
ing ship that was soon to leave New
York with students from every State
recruited for merchant marine train
ing cruise. For about six months he
had had as his valet and cabin boy
a 17-year-old colored youth, Edward
Thomas.
Thomas had informed Lieut.. Moffett
that he didn't want to make the cruise,
but the officer insisted, and went so
far as to order that Thomas not be
allowed to descend the gangplank. But
somehow Thomas got ashore and never
made the cruise.
And yesterday, leaning on the gas
meters in the basement of the apart
ment house, at 3l51 Mount Pleasant
street, where he is now janitor, Thomas
recounted days spent with the great
man. His voice was subdued as he
mentioned the Akron disaster.
Explanation Never Given.
"And I never got to 60 back to- tell
him why had to leave him that
March," he said.

Swanson to Require
Air Experience in
Moffett Successor
Denies Published Report
He Has Recommended
List to President.

Secretary Swanson today denied pub
lished reports that he has submitted
to President Roosevelt a list Of poten-
tial successors to the late Rear Admiral
william A. Moffett, chief Of the Bu-
reau Of Aeronautics, Navy Department.
The cabinet officer asserted he is CIV
ing thorough consideration to q dozen
officers who might I'LL the post, but as
yet has reached no decision. He set
1t down that the two qualifications
that the next chief of naval operations
must possess are personal experience In
flying and executive ability, with ad-
miniStrative character to handle large
sums Of money.
"It takes very able man to take
the place Of Admiral Moffett," said Sec
retary Swanson. HE was to be con-
tinued until November (when he would
have retired upon reaching the age Of
"a years. and consequently the matter
came very hurriedly (due to the ad-
miral's death in the Akron crash). I
have no announcement to make and !
have not forwarded any names to the
White House.
capt. Towers (Capt. John H. Tow
ers, chief of staff of the commander of
aircraft of the battle force, aboard the
q. 8. s. Saratoga, one of the first
naval officers to learn to fly and repre-
sented as candidate Of Chairman
Vinson of the House Naval Commit
tee) is included In the list. I have ex-
pended considerable effort to get the
most capable man, both as to admin
and executive ability, as great
sums OF money are spent in the Bureau
Of Aeronautics.
Nobody will be selected who has not
had experience in flying personally, and
the ability to administer money.
Executive ability and the power to
handle aircraft successfully as well as
part Of the Navy will be my requisites.
I have no favor, except to get the best
man to handle the job. have not
discussed 1t with the President"
Naval officials explained that the
chief Of the Bureau of Aeronautics
must be either an aerial observer or q
pilot, and has one year in which to
qualify, after his appointment. In view
Of Secretary Swanson's statement, how
ever, indications are that he will re-
quire man who already has personal
nying experience.

Above the sea and on 1t, the search

Thirty vessels and 20 planes pressed
into a new area of the Atlantic, of the
New Jersey coast, as the cruiser Port

ordered the scene OF operations snuteo;
Having searched more than 500
miles square, the vessels pressed into
an area of similar dimensions. 1t was
near this stretch Of sea that the body
of Rear Admiral William A. Moffett,
chief of the Nays Bureau Of Aero
nautics. was recovered yesterday.
The Coast Guard boat Daphne, which
found It. brought it here. In flag
draped coffin, it lay in state today at
the Atlantic City Hospital beside the
bodies of Comdr. Frank G. McCord and
Comdr. Fred T. Berry. The bodies will
be taken later to washington for q

in the search for bodies.
The little Falcon, q mine sweeper

pace for the 80 vessels seeking the re-

Its task is twofold. Besides searching
for bodies and wreckage, 1t is ready to

The attention Of the subcommittee
was called today to q proposal to pro-

has completed the acquisition of the
property on the north side Of Constitu-
ton avneue between these points for
inclusion in the Capitol Grounds and

have been built to dispose Of city refuse.
