THE ARREST OF GOODRICH
His Colonel Pretends to Act on the
Authority Of Kempff
KEMPFF REPORTS TO WASHINGTON
But G,odre,l Still Langushes ia Prison While
Awaiting the Action Of Court Of In
quiry. cochran's Charges
Against Others.
(By the Associated Press.l


Manila, May 15.-An unhappy situation
has developed at headquarters of marines
in Cavite. Colonel Henry c. Cochran was
recently ordered home and Lieutenant
Colonel Mancil C. Goodrell, formerly
commander under Colonel Cochran al
Olangapo, was ordered to relieve him
When Lieutenant Colonel Goodrell arrived
to succeed Colonel Cochran the two Off
GERS had an alteration which resulted in
Goodrich denouncing acts of Cochran IN
connection with the Olongapo command
Colonel Cochran reported to Rear Ad-
miral Kempff that Lieutenant Colonel
Goodrell was intoxicated and that night
he arrested him ostensibly on the au-
thority of Rear Admiral Kempff.
The latter disclaimed having given
such an order and reported the situation
to washington with the result that Lieu
tenant Colonel Goodrell remains in Gus
todv and Lieutenant Colonel Allan c.
Kelton has been placed in command at
Cavite, relieving Colonel Cochran. All
are now awaiting the result of court
of inquiry.
Previous to this incident Colonel Coch-
ran had imprisoned Major and Assistant
Quartermaster Thomas G. Prince for al
legged disobedience in reference to requisl-
tions. but Major Prince was unanimously
indicated by the court and continues his
duties as assistant quartermaster. Colo
mel Cochran also complained of Major
Littleton w. T. Waller, on account OF
some difficulty with Private Gardner over
an alleged disturbance by Gardner OF
dinner party at Major Walters house.
Gardner had just been tried and acquit-
ted and this, according to Colonel Coch-
ran, strengthens the allegation against
Major Waller.
George b. Coleman and r. r. Noureso,
warrant machinsts in the navy yard, are
charged with selling 10000 smuggled
American cigarettes which came here on
board the Buffalo. An investigation has
been instituted. AS cigarettes form no

be smuggling
