NAVY DEPARTMENT
Thorough Overhauling of
System May End Soft
Snaps.
Washington, Dep. 20.—Interesting de
velopments regarding the navy depart
ment are scheduled in congress after
the holidays. Among some of theimem-
bers of the naval affairs committee
there is talk of airing the extrava
gances and deficiencies of the depart
ment, and even of making an urgent ef
fort to accomplish a thorough over
hauling.
The members aie Impressed with the
utter absence of anything businesslike
in the handling of navy affairs, and
are convinced that useless and inde
fensible extravagance prevails, not
alone as to the navy yards, but as to
the management of a great many
things under the department’s control.
A thorough overhauling of the sys
tem now In force would, undoubtedly,
result In shipping to sea many of
ficers who enjoy easy berths on shore,
mainly in Washington. In l!
In the way of
any real reform In this line, the social
"pun” of the high navy officers and
their families would stand, and this is
factor which will have to be reckoned
with.
