Naval Constructor Succeeds General Chicago Man Is Chairman of Board Bainbridge Colby Replaces Captain White Washington Stunned by News WASHINGTON. July 24. Sweeping steps were taken by President Wilson today to put an end to ' delay in building America's great merchant marine. Two resignations those of General Goethals, manager of tho Emergency Fleet Corporation, and Captain White, member of the Shipping Board, were accepted. Chairman Denm'an, of the Shipping Board, was asked to resign. At the same time the President announced these appointments: EDWARD N. HURLEY, Chicago, as chairman of the Shipping Board to succeed Denman. ADMIRAL CAPPS, naval constructor, as, general manager of the Emergency Fleet Corporation to succeed Goethals, BAINBRIDGE COLBY, New Yorri, as White's successor on the Shipping Board. "We will start with a fresh sheet," tho President explained, in his letter to Goethals, accepting tho general's resignation offer. The stepping out of the premier canal builder came as a complete surprisp to Washington. It was believed the President would make one last attempt to mollify the two contending men and induce them to work together. It was evident from the promptness with which the President acted that he had the "house-cleaning" in mind for some days. LETTER TO GOETHALS In accepting GoethaU's resignation, the President wrote the following letter: My dear General Goethals: Your letter of July 20 does you great honor. It ls conceived in a lino spirit of public duty such as I have learned to expect from you This ls, as you say, a caso whero the service of the public ls the only thing to be considered.

It ls with that fact In mind that I feel constrained to say that I think that you hao Interpreted your duty rightly No Impartial determination of the ques tions at lssuo can now set the shipbuild ing program promptly and effectively on Its way to completion Mid success.

With deep appreciation, therefore, of your generous attitude and with genuine admiration of what you have been able In a short time to accomplish. I accept your resignation and feel that In doing so I am acting upon your own best Judgment as well as my own. I hope that you will feel that the peo ple of tho country for whom you have rendered great services will Judge you justly and generously In this as In other things and that all personal misunder standings and mlsjudgments that may hae been created will pass In a short tlmo entirely away.

This was despite tho fact that he already had a wife, who was Miss Florence Heer man 716 North Forty-nrst street, and whose heart, according to the girl's mother, he broke two weeks after their marriage, more than a year ago. Today Houston ls held in New 'iork in default of $5000 ball He Is charged with impersonating a United States offlcer and with passing bogus checks. Later a charge of bigamy may be brought against him. Yesterday he was honeymoonlnsr blithely at the Waldorf-Astoria with, it Is said, a Philadelphia girl, his latest bride, whose name he refuses to divulge. Sidelights on the character of this modern Don Juan, who butternled himself Into the affections of her young daughter Florence, eloped with her to Elkton, pawned the wed dine presents and grew tired of her In a week or so, were told in heartbroken tones bv Mrs Heerman today at her home. The Heermans are plain, quiet people of Ger man extraction. The father. John L. Heer li,n Is a prosperous baker, with a chain S stores in West Philadelphia. For some time they have" been endeavoring to write finis to the unhappy affair by obtaining a a vorce for their young daughter In the quietest manner possible.
