submerged the Chapman bar, which
Mr.. Maddox and one or two other

TRIAL OF THE

Charged With Language Unbe-
 coming an Officer.
SLANDERED NAVAL OFFICERS
Said Admiral Sampson Reported Him. self Within Four Miles of the Cristobal Colon to Partici-
 pate in Prize Money.

Denver, Colo, September 26.-The trial of Chaplain Joseph P. Mcintyre of the battle- ship Oregon by courtmartial for the al- legged use of language unbecoming an off cer of the navy, and calculated to destroy the good order and discipline of the navy during the delivery of a lecture in Denver on August s, was begun al 1:30 o'clock to- day. The members of the court are:
 Commodore w. P. McCann, prtsident; Leutenant-C Commander w. H. Driggs Chaplains D. H. Tribpu and T. A. Gill, Lieut.. Nathan II. Barber, Lieutenant-Com- mander c. K. Curtis and Lieutenant-Com- mander J. D. D. Kelly. The judge advo- cate, Captain c. H. Lauchheimer, read the charges and specifications prepared by the prosecution. They included alleged extracts from the lecture, in which the chaplain is made to say that Admiral Sampson report ed himself within four miles of the Spanish ship Cristobal Colon when she struck her colors in order that he might participate in the prize money, though he had nothing to do with the battle. He is also alleged to have said that when the Oregon went into the fight it met the Iowa, commanded by "Fighting Bob" Evans, going to the rear, where he stayed until the battle was over. He was also charged with saying that the Oregon was the only battleship in the navy that was honestly built.
 Earl Cranston of Denver, as attorney Tor the prisoner, moved that the charges be ouashed on the ground that the. remarks were not of a scandalous character, and only such as are used frequently in the public press and by the people generally.

He held that the statements charged could not have affected the discipline of the navy. He also argued that there was no denial of the alleged statements, and no chargs of malicious intent, and that the charges of fraud in the building of vessels were against contractors, and not against the navy department.

 The prisoner then entered a plea of not guilty and the court adjourntd until tomor- row
