    JOHN T. TOMPKINS v. THE UNITED STATES.
    [No. 32829.
    Decided January 8, 1917.]
   Per Curiam :

This is the case of a lieutenant commander in the Navy claiming additional pay as aid and who served as flag lieutenant and aid under orders from the commander of the United States Pacific Fleet.

Under the decision in the case of Knox v. United States., ante, p. 22, the plaintiff was not legally appointed aid'and was not eligible for such appointment. Therefore, his petition is dismissed.
