Row Likely Over Gibbons. The involuntary retirement of Cap- tain John H. Gibbons, now in com- mand of the battleship Utah and for- merly superintendent of the United States Naval Academy, was totally unexpected by his.friends and prob- ably will stir up a row. It was inti- fated yesterday by naval officers that @Captain Gibbons' retirement was due to his lack of sea service and to cer- tain features of his administration at Annapolis. While at Annapolis Captain Gibbons insisted on the observance of cus- toms and usages which were objec- tionable to many of the officers and middies there. This, it was declared, was largely instrumental in influenc- ing the board to place his name at ihe head of the list of those to be ‘Plucked.” Among other things Cap- tain Gibbons insisted that the middies when they danced should be at least three inches away from their partners.

It is expected that both Captain Gibbons and Cap- tain Hill will protest against the action of the board of selection for retirement. Evans Had Trouble With Crew. ‘While no direct explanation s given for the retirement of Captain George R. Bvans it is recalled that while in command of a scout cruiser Evans barely averted serious trouble with his crew. On one occasion when iway from American waters Captain vans ‘ordered the crew to paint the ship. When this was completed it was discovered that certain members of the crew had painted in large let- | ters on the side of the ship “Evans' hell ship.” The officers who voluntarily applied for retirement were Capt. Harrison A. Bisham and Commanders Emmet R. Pollock, Irvin V. G. Gillis, Ray- 11 Pratt St, Hartford A, BE. Cushman, Pres. J. P. Mulcahy, Sec’y Have You A Victor In Your Home ?

Commander Hayward’s retirement, according to the common reports among naval officers, is due to his disinclination to go to sea. The same reason is advanced by his colleagues for the voluntary retirement of Com- mander Stone, . Capt. Bispham, who voluntarily re- tired, formerly served in the office of judge advocate general of the navy and {s believed to be about to enter the practice ! of law. Commander Gillis intends to enter a business con- cern {n China. Fullinwider Disliked Sea Duty. The only reason given for the vol- untary retirement of Commander Ful- linwider is his dislike of duty at sea. He has an enviable reputation for ef- ficlency, although he has served dur- ing the last year at least contrary to his wishes, he having made applica- tlon for retirement a year ago. 4The retirement of Commander De Igny is belleved to have been influ- ehced by a report made recently by Rear Admiral Sims of his conduct in leaving the fleet without permission while in command of a destroyer. He disappeared entirely and was absent two days. Lieutenant Commander Falconer has on occasions had dif- flculty with his superior officers, As a matter of form these recom- mendations submitted to the secretary of the navy yesterday were laid by him before the president, who signed the recommendations ordering the re- tirement from active duty of the of- ficers whose applications were ap- proved and those ‘‘plucked” by the board. The officers who applied for retirement were not allowed to retire unless they had served twenty years since thelr graduation from the Naval academy, Twenty-two Vacancies, These voluntary retirements and re- tirements, resignations and casualties during the vear make a total of twen- ty-two vacancies. It was desired to create forty vacancies, but according to law only fifteen officers above the grade of lleutenant, junior grade, may be involuntarily retired each year. Secretary Daniels said yesterday that an earnest effort will be made to devise some plan during the coming fiscal year to do away with this ob- Jectionable plucking noard feature in the navy. A board will be appointed to study the question thoroughly and récommend to the secretary other means, if possible, for providing for the advancement in grade of forty lieutenants each year. Assistant Sec- retary Roosevelt will head this hoard.
