This Ends the Matter Without Court
Martial

Washington, Sept. 80. Acting Secre-
tary McAdoo has written sharp letter
of reprimand to Maj. r. L. Meade, of the
marine corps, ontluty at the Boston navy
yard, for his failure to comply with an
order from Major Reid, acting command
ant OF the marine. corps, in regard to a
case OF an enlisted man. AS has already
been stated, Major Meade based his &C.
ton on the theory that Major Reid being
his Junior in grade, had no authority
to give him orders, regardless of the fact
that ne may have been temporarily in
command of the corps during the absence
of the colonel commandant. The Navy
Department. considered the position as
sumed by him as untenable, and has
t eaI en- occasion to remind him that for
all the purposes of the service the acting
eommandant is clothed with ali the au.
1hority conferred by law upon the actual
commandment of the corps. The matter
the proposed courtmartial of Major
Meade has been abandoned.
