YEARNED FOR SEA WHEN BOY Forced to Remain at an Executive Deak During the Spanish War, He Became an Expert on Ordnance. Chicago. Whllo Admiral Fletcher, who captured tho city of Vera Cruz Tuesday, has never resided In Chi cago, he has been a frequent visitor here at the home of his brother, Thom as J. Fletcher, 6237 Cornell avenue. The latter Is treasurer of the Co-operative League of Chicago. J. Fletch er, a son of the Chicago Fletcher, 1b a lieutenant on Admiral Fletcher's flag ship. "We Fletchers do not come of a sea faring breed," said the civilian Fletch er at his home. "On the contrary, we are Iowa men and we should by all rights have lived and died landlub bers. My brother Is an admiral now because our representative in con gress in Marahalltown, Iowa, decided he would fill a vacancy at Annapolis by holding a" competitive examination. "'Tom,' said my brother when he saw the notice of the examination, T'm going to be a sailor. That's the ttfo for me. I never thought of It be fore, but I see now that I was meant to be a hero of tho deep.'" Leads In Examination. He entered the examination, Just as he said he would, and took first place aver 25 other boys. That was In 1870 and he has been in the navy service since. According to the Chicago Fletcher, lit was ono of the bitterest disappoint ments of the admiral's career when be was compelled to remain at an exec utive desk In Washington during tho Spanish war. But the admiral, as tho result of that experience, became an expert on ordnance. "Secretary Long promised him that If be would remain as assistant chief of the ordnance department until he could get things In order, he could have anything he wished. But bo fore his work was done there tho war was over. You see, the country was totally unprepared for war and the ordnance department was placed un ,der a terrific strain." Invents Recoil Apparatus. Admiral Fletcher had been In the lervlco but a short time when he In vented a recoil apparatus for quick brers, which has been In use ever since. Ho also improvrd the Farcot breech mechanism, thereby Insuring tho success of the system. Whereas to open tho breech of the big guns It had been necessary before to depend upon power from the engine-room, the admiral's improvement made It possible to move the huge blocks with ono hand. As commander of the torpedo boat Cushing the ad miral, then Lieutenant Commander Fletcher, conducted an Investigation of the behavior of torpedoes and dis covered many errors in range and In almost every Instance the correctness of his. deductions was proved. He Is regarded as one of the first ordnance experts of the navy. Born In Oskaloosa. "Admiral Fletcher," said his kins man In Chicago, "was born in Oska loosa, Nov. 23, 1855. He was only fifteen years old when he took tho examination and entered Annapolis. "My brother was graduated In June, 187C, one of the honor men of his class. He served as a midshipman for one year and then was promoted to the rank of an ensign. On April 1, 1882, he became a Junior lieutenant, AMERICAN CRUISER, THE its class lu tho American nuvy, took part in thu uliolllng und capturo of and nt tho outbreak of tho Spanish war was n lieutenant and had at tracted attention by his knowludgo of ordnance. ' "After the war ho was relieved of desk work nt Washington and ordered to sen. in March, 1904, ho waB pro moted to tho rank of commnndcr after having served ns commanding ofllcnr of tho gunboats Knnnwaha and Kaglo. Soon after this promotion ho wnB made Inspector of ordnance In chnrgo of tho torpedo station nt Newport, whero ho served until March 15, 1905. "When ho ngnln went to sea It ws as chief of staff of tho Asiatic fleot, which position he gavo up to tnko command of tho cruiser Rnlclgh. After two moro years at sea ho was ordered to tho naval war colleco at NowDort. and later ho becamo a member of the' special ordnanco board. "In 1908 he was made a captain and given command of the battleship Ver mont. After leaving the Vermont ho became an aid on the staff of Secre tary of the Navy George von L. Meyer. It was during this sorvlco In October, 1911, that he achieved flag rank." May Succeed Badger. Admiral Fletcher Is regarded as a probable successor of Rear Admiral Badger as commander In chief of the Atlantic fleet, a promotion that will carry with It the honor of command ing the great United States fleet that will bo the first to pass through the Panama canal when the waterway Is opened to the ships of the world In 1915. It was Immediately following the assassination of President Madero that Admiral Fletcher was ordered to Mexican waters. ntere Harbor In "Norther." It will be recalled that Admiral Fletcher In his first cablegram record ing tho seizing of the custom-house at Vera Cruz said that he commonoed operations In the face of an approach ing "norther." Tho following extract from a navy text-book on navigation may explain why Admiral Fletcher acted without jUnduo delay 'n carrying out President Wilson's orders: "To attempt to run Into the harbor (Vera Cruz) In a 'norther Is extreme ly perilous, for It blows more power fully within than without the shoals. No confidence can be placod In an chors and no assistance can be given from the shore in case of accident" Admiral Fletcher when, not at sea resides at 1441 Massachusetts avenue, Washington. He married Miss Bcsan Hunt Stetson in 1895. He is a mem ber of the Chevy Chase and the Army and Navy clubs In Washington. How Seizure Order Was Given. ' Washington. The story of how President Wilson ordered the custom house at Vera Crus to be seized has been revealed. The president had gone to bed Mon day night after having read his mes sage to congress. The senate was de bating the Joint resolution to approve the uso of the army and navy, and the president had determined to withhold action until the resolution passed, al though feeling that In an emergenoy the executive had ample authority to act At 4 o'clock Tuesday morning Sec retary Bryan received a cablegram from Consul Canada telling of the ap proach of a German vessel with a tremendous cargo of ammunition for Huerta. A number of locomotives and many cars wero In readiness to rush the arms to Mexico City. Mr. Bryan telephoned Secretary Tu multy, who decided to awaken the president He telephoned the White House. The servants were timid, but Tumulty Insisted. Finally the presi dent came to the telephone, and while Secretary Tumulty was explaining the situation Secretary Daniels called up and was put on the samo lino, Ho, too, had a dispatch about the ammunition. Rear Admiral Fletcher had sent a wireless that 15,000,000 rounds of ammunition and 250 ma chlno guns would bo landed from the German vessel by noon that day. Tho president listened In sllenea, CHESTER "What shall wo do?" asked Secre tary Daniels. "Tell Fletcher to bcIzo tho cuBtom houso," replied tho president without hesitation. "Good night," said tho secretary. Tho telephone conference ended and in u fow minutes wireless diBpatchca wero on their way to Rear Admiral Fletcher. Ho received the message at 10 a. in., and an hour later American marines had landed and taken posses lon of tho custom houso. No War Tax for Six Months. Washington. Tho government's finances nro considered to be In ex cellent condition. Tho treasury offi cials informed tho houso loadors that thcro v ill be no occasion for six months, at least, to worry about rais ing a war revenue. Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee said: "No plans are being considered for raising a war fund. I have consulted with tho secretary of war and tho sec retary of the navy and they both as sure mo that the current appropria tions for the army and navy will be sufficient for the present needs. Sec retary Daniels told me that it would cost no more to maintain the navy and the marine corps in Mexican wa ters than in the waters of the United States. "If we are foroed Into a prolonged war with Mexico, which I do not be lieve will happen, we can1 easily ar range to raise the revenue necessary to finance it by the bame measures as wero taken during the Spanish-American war. The extraordinary taxes then Imposed increased the revenues of the government approximately 1100,000,000 a year, and the same taxes applied today would yield even a larger return." There was talk of a new Issue of 8200,000,000 of bonds out of the au thorized issue of 9240,000,000 Panama canal bonds, which are still In the treasury, but Secretary McAdoo au thorized the statement that no such action was planned. The bonds art available at any time and can be is sued at the pleasure of the president without any further action by con gress. It was pointed out that President Wilson has authority under a section of the Payne-Aldrlch act of 1900, which has not been repealed by the Underwood tariff act to raise 8450, 000,000 from bond Issues, it necessary, to defray the expenses of war. Un der section 39 of the Payne-Aldrlch act the secretary of the treasury can nse 8250,000,000 of the bonds "to re coup the treasury for moneys used In the building of the Panama canal," which have never been Issued. Wilson Could Raise 1200,000,000. Under section 40, also, the secre tary can Issue 8 per cent bonds up to 9200,000,000, It being specified that he may take such action if he deems it necessary. The section of the law per mltting the secretary of the treasury to raise 9200,000,000 for emergencies, reads as follows: "That section 33 of the act providing ways and means to meet war expendi tures, approved June 81, 1898 (the so called Spanish war stamp act), be anal the same is hereby amended to read as follows: "That the secretary of the treasury is authorized to borrow from time to time at a rate of Interest not exceed ing 3 per centum per annum, such sum or sums as, in his Judgment may be necessary to meet publlo expeadl tures, and to Issue therefor certifi cates of indebtedness in such form as he may prescribe and in denomina tions of 950 or multiples thereof, and each certificate shall be payable with the Interest accrued thereon at such time, not exceeding one year from the date of Issue, as the secretary of the treasury may prescribe; provided, that the sum of such certificates out standing shall at no time txceed 9260, 000,000 and the provisions of existing law respecting counterfeiting and oth er fraudulent practises are hereby ex tended to the bonds and oertlflcatee of Indebtedness authorised by this act" KILL MI GUARDS: .
