President Roosevelt believea tbe organization of the Navy Department ia not such as to bring the best results, and he appointed a com mittee today to "consider certain needs of the Navy." His action was somewhat cf a surprise, in view of the fact that the members of the commission appointed today met at Washington two weeks ago and Indorsed Secretary Newberry's plan ft reornanlzatlon, and In view also of th- authorization by the Senate of an Inquiry Into naval expenditures and the need. If any. of lefiislatlon to improve the administration of the Navy Department Announcement of the President 'a action was entirely unexpected at the Navy De partment.

The letter follows: "My Dear Sir I have appointed you as a member of a Commission to consider certain seeds'of the Navy. The organiza tion of the department is now not such as to bring the best results and there Is failure to co-ordinate the work of bureaus and to make the department serve the one end for which It was created, that Is. the development and handling of flrst-clasa fighting fleets!. With this proposition I will ask you to consider: Defect In Organization. "Kirst. All defects In the law under wh'ch the Navy Department Is now or ganized. Including especially the defects .y which the authority of chiefs of the bureaus la made In certain respects prac tically equal to tbat of the Secretary or the President. "Second The division' of responsibility and consequent lack of co-ordination In the preparation of war and for con duct of war. 'Third The functions of certain bu reaus, as to whether it is not possible to i-onsolldate them. 'Fourth The necessity of providing the Secretary of the Navy with military ad visers who are responsible to him for co ordinating tlie work of the bureaus and for preparation for war. Mth The necessity for economical al lotment and disbursement of appropria tions and for a system which wl!l Injure strict accountability. How to Prepare for War. Sx finally. I want your views as to hw best to recognize and emphasize the strictly military character of the Navy, so that preparation for war shall be con trolled under the Secretary by the mili tary branch of the Navy, which bears the responsibility for the'successful con duct of war preparations. "I wish to have the above subjects con "..lered under two general heads: "l. As to the fundamental frlixlplr of an organization that will Insure an efficient preparation for war in time of peace. Specific recommendations as to the changes In the present organization that will accomplish these results. "In addition to the above reports. I ijir your recommendation as to the number, location and general facilities of the Navy-yard which are required by urateglc considerations In time of war. and for maintaining the fleet in constant readiness fur war in time of peace."

British Vice-Consul McKirdy, of Kan sas City, has Issued a signed statement to the effect that Leland is an impostor and Is not the son of Lord Aberdeen. The authorities of Audrain County are acting on the presumption that Leland Is a skillful forger, that he has a past which he Is not anxious to Iiave made known, and that his capture was due to the fact that he committed the indiscretion In mishandling "strong drink" during his visit to Mexico, when he might have got away with about 200.
