EVANS Over Belated Publication of Some Rich tetters MYERS IS IMPERTINENT Head of the Navy Wrote a Hot Let ter to Myers of tho Jamestown Exposition Board of Governors, in Iteply to His Allegation That It Was Distasteful for the High toned Naval People Look Them Over" Choice 'Expressions.''-' (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Washington, Sept. 14. Rear Ad miral Roblcy D. Evans, U. S. N., is greatly incensed over a letter writ ten by Barton Myers, a member of the board of governors of the James town Exposition, to the New York Evening Journal and published some months after it was written, with comments, in the latest issue of the army and navy journal.: The letter of Mr. Myers referred to the feeling of navy officers about their part In the Jamestown Exposition and the thing that particularly angered Ad mlral Evans was the following: "If Rear Admiral Evans and cer tain officers who are taking their cue from him, now feel that It Is a dero gation of their dignity for a few months to associate with the com mon people of this country, and to allow thciu to come aboard of their ships and look them over, It will tend, rather to react and create an antagonistic feeling such as is al- r ready-cropping up among- th. papers of tho country." 'j Admiral Evana in his letter to Mr. Myers, referring to this quotation, Bays in part: "I desire to make most clear to you the fact that, as the fleet and officers and men under my command have been acting under the orders of the secretary of the navy, and In accordance with the well known wishes of the president of the Unl- . ted States, throughout our service . in connection with the Jamestown Exposition, the personal opinion and desires of myself or of the Bald offi cers and men don't enter into the case at all. . ". "Whether or not we would have preferred to spend our summer on the New England coast or at Hamp ton Roads; whether or not our opin ions of the exposition are favorable or unfavorable, are questions that don't enter into the case at all. "A simple matter of duty was pre sented to us, and so fur as I know it has been performed thoroughly and conscientiously and in a manner not only satisfactory to the president, but In such wise as to contribute most highly to the success of the : exposition at a time when it most needed such help. "Your assumption that what you call unjust and damaging articles, appearing In the service Journals, re flecting on the Jamestown Exposi tion, correctly expressing my per sonal views. Is not only unjust to me, but Is, in my opinion, ah unwarrant able pleco of impertinence, which I most distinctly and emphatically re sent." CHFRCHES DEFILED; PRIESTS ORDERED TO LEAVE.
