SENSATIONAL END
 OF COURT INQUIRY
Charge of Drunkenness Against Col. Meade is Sustained
 Other Charges

Washington, September 1.-The longest court of inquiry in the history of the navy, that held at the Brooklyn navy yard to investigate trouble in the marine corps. has come to a sensational termina- tion, bringing in a recommendation which may result in very serious consequences for an officer of high rank. Maj. c. H. Lauchheimer and Col. F. L. Denny charged Col Robert L. Meade with drunk enness on duty while an inspection was in progress at the Brooklyn navy yard Colonel Meade replied by charging Major Lauchheimer with making a false report and Colonel Denny with reporting against him (NIeade) in order to cover up irregu- larities with contractors on Denny's part
 The court of inquiry acquitted Major Lauchheimer and Colonel Denny of Colonel Meade's charges. It sustained the charge against Colonel Meade, and in ad . dition charged him with violation of the naval regulations in replying with a counter-charge when asked for a report and also of false swearing on the witness stand. The court recommended that the colonel be tried by court-martial upon the charges.
 The court lasted four weeks, breaking all naval records for court of inquiry. In addition, 1t was marked by an extra ordinary event in the fact that on the fifteenth day of the trial Commander West a member of the court, was chal- lenged by Major Lauchheimer on account of alleged friendship for Colonel Meade and required to withdraw from member ship by his colleagues.
