Rear Admiral Capps at Outs With Secretary Meyer Ever Since He Urged Reorganization of Department Before the Congressional i "Washington.

July 11 Washington Lee Capps, 'Captain in the regular naval establishment and Hear Admiral by virtue of the fact that for nearly seven years he has been head of the Bureau ofv Construction and- Repair, to-day tendered his resignation, to take effect October 1. It has been ac- i cepted. Neither Secretary Meyer nor Rear Admiral Capps to-night would discuss Mr. Capps's sudden determination to retire from the service, but it is recalled tUat Admiral Capps, before a congressional committee last winter, bitterly opposed the plans of Secretary Meyer looking to a reor ganization of the Navy In a formal statement issued to-night Ly the Navy Department the situation grow ing out of the difference of opinion between the Secretary and the chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repair was set forth as follows: "This action on the part Of Chief Constructor Capps was prompted by the fact that he does not find himself, as suited in his application, in entire accord with certain details of the reorganization policy of the President and Mr. Meyer.

Under these circumstances Mr. Meyer deemed it for the best interest of the naval service to recommend that Mr. Capps's resignation be accepted, and that he be then transferred to other duties." Mr. Capps, it is staled, will be "assigned appropriate duty in accordance with his rank and experience." As the Chief Constructor will have completed on October 1 30 years of service in the navy he will be entitled to retire with the rank of Rear Admiral. In the meantime he will probably be sent on a tour of Inspection to the west coast or to the Philippines to complete the record of Inspection work which he previously has done In that direction.

Secretary Meyer to-day transmitted ttus resignation to President Taft. with the recommendation that it be accepted. Carrington Retired. ViciMitu.ies in the military career of Major Frank D. L.

Smith, the train dispatcher at Dayton, Ohio, whose order "No. 60," and later the "bust" order to Operator Crider, at Middletown. received two min utes before the fatal crash, seem to be the ctnter upon which the testimony nxlng the blame will rest. Order No. Co was: "Order No.

Train Dispatcher Smith testified thai his duties were to move trains over roads outside of time tables, and realizing that there was Imminent danger to the Big Four flyer near Middletown he figured to get First No. 90 to Middletown out of its way. Had No Earthly Chance. Acting quickly, he realized that Hie Big Four flyer had passed Carlisle and he flashed First 90 at Middletown and that It had no earthly chance to make Poa it-town.

Smith said that he could not understand why the freight was standing on the main track. He said that It took from eight to fifteen minutes, according to the weight of the freight train, to go from Middletown to Poasttown. and that they only had seven minutes. He testified that he did what he thought was perfectly safe in letting Middletown hold First No. as he supposed It was on the siding at Middletown.

Ed Spies, the operator at Carlisle, testified he had received no orders for second No. 1 to wait at Poasttown until 17, and gave them a clear signal. The train went through Carlisle at 12:57.

and that at 12:58 he got the dispatch front Train Dispatcher Smith at Dayton. Ohio: "Hold first B0 for second No. 1." "There were about 25 of the freight cars past the station when the message was received," said Crider. "I then jumped out of the office and ran to Conductor Weaver and read the dispatch to him. Ore minute or a minute and a half later the crash came." John Weaver, of Dayton.

Dis patcher Smith realised he could not reach the Big Four flyer at Carlisle, and aa there was no operator at Poasttown. his only chance to avert the accident was to get the freight No. B0 at Middletown In the clear. The statement of Dispatcher 8ml th that he could -not understand why Frieght No. Wgot onto the main track and his conclu sion that It had no right there Is at vari ance with the statements of the crew of the freight and Conductor Weaver, who.
