Rear Admr. Glennon, | Santiago Bay Veferan, Dies Here at 83 Commanded Gun Turret Which Helped Sink ¢ Reina Mercedes Rear Admiral James Henry Glen- non, 83, veteran naval officer and ordnance expert, who commanded a forward gun turret on the battle- ship Massachusetts when she sank the Spanish ship Reina Mercedes at the battle of Santiago Bay, died yesterday at his home in the West- moreland Apartments, 2122 Califor- nia street N.W. Admiral Glennon’s work with bal- listics contributed to the effective- ness of the gunfire of the United | States ships which destroyed the Spanish fleet. A graduate of the | Naval Academy, class of 1876, he| was on duty at Annapolis engaged | in ordnance research and instruc- tion for several years prior to the Spanish-American War. He helped design the 13-inch guns of the Mas- sachusetts. Shortly after graduation from the Naval Academy, Admiral Glennon, a native of French Gulch, Calif., was put in command of the shore party of the naval expedition which sur- veyed the West Coast of Central America. During the Philippine insurrection he commanded the Vicksburg. He was a member of the joint Army and Navy expedition which captured Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, leader of the uprising. Later Admiral Glennon became commandant of the Washington Navy Yard and from 1915 to 1917 served as superintendent of the Naval Gun Factory here. He was president of the Board on | Naval Ordnance and the joint Army and Navy Board on Smokeless Pow- der in 1912-13. During the succeed- ing two years he was a member of | the Panama Wortifications Board, and served as president of the Board on Naval Ordnance and the joint Army and Navy Board on Gun Forging. During the World War, Admh'ali Glennon was the naval representa- | tive on the Elihu Root Commission to Russia. While he was at Sebas- topol, the Bolshevik Russian sailors mutinied and took over many of the ships. Admiral Glennon was in- vited by the provisional commanders to address the mutineers. His speech s0 moved the bluejackets that they allowed their officers to resume com- mand. Admiral Glennon returned from Russia to command a squadron of the Atlantic Fleet in 1917-18. He next commanded the 13th Naval| District, and from 1919 to 1921 was commandant of the 3rd Naval Dis- trict, with headquarters at New York | City. There he retired at the age of 64. Admiral Glennon was married in 1884 to Miss Susan Blair of Vir-| ginia, who survives him. Also liv- ing are twq sons, Comdr. James B. 1 Glennon, U. S. N, retired, on ncuve‘ duty in charge of the Naval Ord- nance Laboratory here, and Lt. Comdr. Harrison Randolph Glennon, U. 8. N, retired, of New York City; a sister, Miss Isabel Glennon of San Francisco, Calif.; four grandsons and four granddaughters. Funeral services, conducted by Chaplain William H.
