LIEUT.. ADAMS REINsTATED
INDISCRETIoN OF THE MONTE
REY's OFFICER OVERLOOKED
An Able Officer Who Was Too Fond of
the Cup-He Will Probably
Be Transferred

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 2S-Executive Officer
Charles A. Adams of the Monterey has
been reinstated pending the decision Of the
department in Washington upon the re-
port of the court-martial convened to in
vestigate the charges of intemperance pre-
ferred against him. 1t is probable that
Lieut.. Commander Adams will soon be
transferred to another ship.
The trial by court-martial of Lieut.. Com
mander Charles A. Adams, executive Off
Ger or the Monterey, on the charge of in
toxication, was finished Friday. The fnd-
ing and decision of the court have been
forwarded to Washington for approval,
and 1t will be at least two weeks before the
nnal result or the cOurt-martial is known,
even to the officers directly interested.
Lieut.. Commander Adams, who Is con-
sidered very able officer and was popular
with the crew, was acting captain Of the
Monterey for day, two or three weeks
ago. and while in that capacity, it is re-
ported, he became intoxicated. He was
under the influence of liquor when Captain
Clark returned to the ship, and met Cap
tain Clark at the gangway.
Captain Clark was so indignant over the
fragrant conduct of Lieut.. Commander
Adams that he ordered him to his room,
where he has since remained under arrest.
He will be kept under that restraint until
the finding of the court is heard from at
Washington.
Lieut.. Commander Adams was once be-
fore placed under arrest and confined to
his room for intemperance. That was
about four months ago, when he arrived
from the east under assignment to the
Monterey, while the monitor lay at Port
land. He is said to have become intoxi-
Gated almost as soon as he went aboard,
as result of which indiscretion he was
confined to his room.

THE DALE CITY MURDER
Farley Lodged in Jail for Killing
Price

SAN BERNARDINO. Feb. 2S.-A meager
telegram was received Tuesday containing
the news of the killing of Mat Price by
Billy Farley at Dale City, Virginia Dale
mining district, that morning, and calling
for the coroner to investigate the affair.
Arrangements were made, and on Wednes-
day Coroner A. c. Keating, Deputy Dis
trict Attorney II. c. Rolfe, Deputy Sheriff
Gus McElvaine and Stenographer l. Ben
jamin started for the scene of the killing,
made their investigation. and returned
at II .. m. Friday night with the prisoner,
who will go before the superior court on
the charge of killing Price with criminal
intent, that being the finding of the coro-
ner's jury.
The two men had been the best of friends
apparently until the evening before the
killing, when they had been drinking a
little, and Farley took umbrage at the
remark by Price: you've got dollar
now. and will not act square with me-"
The quarrel was renewed again In the
morning, for soon after o'clock Farley,
having secured the revolver belonging to
Deputy Sheriff AL Reitz, who had left that
morning for San Bernardino, walked into
the store Of Reitz & Graham and remarked
to the latter: 'Is there anybody in Dale
to make an arrest, now Reitz is away?"
Graham replied that he thought no one had
any authority just at present 'Well,
said Farley, Price ureW hiiilc oh Aue
this morning, and If he does it again I'll
kill him, for I'm ready for him now"
Farley passed out Of the store and, see
ing Price sitting on box in front of the
store, drew his gun and fired one shot,
striking Price in the left side, the bullet
ranging through and coming out on the
right. Price had raised partly from the
box as Farley drew his gun, and on receiv-
ing the shot he ran into the store and fell
dead. Farley started to run, but was
called back and made to give up his gun,
41-caliber Colt, which he did, and was
placed under arrest until the arrival OF the
officers from San Bernardino.
Mat Price was perfectly defenseless when
killed. having no weapon in his hand. Re
membering the remark about the knife,
those who picked him up when he fell
made examination and found no knife in his
possession. except a jack-knife. which was
closed and in his pocket.

HOW DID JOHNSON DEP
His Brother Regards the Circum

RIVERSIDE, Feb. 28.-Coroner Sherman
received a letter today from man named
A. J. johnson of Minneapolis, who writes
that he is brother of the man Oscar
Johnson, who was poisoned at his mines
in the Chuck Walla mountains some weeks
ago. From the tenor of the letter 1t would
seem that the writer Is strongly of the
opinion that his brother was murdered
and that 1t is his intention to have the
matter fully Investigated with view to
bringing the guilty parties to justice. AL
though the coroner's jury brought in ver-
dict that Johnsons death was caused by

murder and that the deed was done to get
johnson out of the way.
