SALUTED THE ADMIRAL,
Com mander Ide Says He Paid
All Due Homage to His
Superior.
But Mr.. Meade Now Charges I'm
truthfulness as Well as Discour-
tesy Against the Skipper.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July Com
mander Ide of the United States steamer
Alert, recently detached from the COM
mand of that vessel (as announced ex-
clusively III the CALL), arrived in Washing
ton and called on Secretary Herbert
to-day. Assistant Secretary McAdoo sub
stantiates everything that Admiral Meade
charged against Commander Ide. 1t was
alleged that Ide greeted McAdoo veSy cor
daily at the hotel at Panama, but ignored
Admiral Meade, and 'for this mute cour-
tesy" Admiral Meade had him bounced
summarily from the command of the
Alert and ordered home in disgrace.
Naval officers stationed here are inclined
to sympathize with Commander Ide
They claim that Admiral Meade is
crochety and captious bv reason of i'll
health, and that his irritability was the
cause of the trouble between fighting Bob
Evans and himself and was responsible
for his criticism of the President and Sec
rotary Herbert.
1t is not believed that Commander Ide
will be further punished unless he is indis-
Greet enough to talk about his case. He
feels very bitter toward Admiral Meade.
At first he was inclined to request court
martial inquiry, but as Assistant Secretary
McAdoo was the only witness present at
the hotel at Panama, he may not insist on
a court of inquiry. He claims that he sa-
lated Admiral Meade properly, and the
latter says he did not, and in addition to
the charge of discourtesy alleges untruth-
funes on 1de's part.
Secretary Herbert declines to talk about
the matter. The Alert is now under COM
mand of Lieutenant Coffin, pending the
arrival of her new commander, Hanford.
