FINDINGS OF COURT
Capt. Qualtrough Suspended
for Six Months.
ALSO REDUCED TEN NUMBERS
Commander Kline Placed Ia CON-
mand. of Georgia fer HOmeward
Trip-Cenviesea Officer Retired for
Age In Ies2-wfII Probably Not Be
Able to Overcome Loss Of Numbers.

The decision Il the court-martisl in
the case OF Capt. Edward F. Qualtrough.
L S y. former commanding officer OF
the battle ship Georgia, was reported to
the Navy Department yesterday BY Rear
Admiral Sperry. commanding the Altar
tic battle ship feet.
Admiral Sperry said Capt Qua1trough
had been convicted on both charges pre-
ferred against him. OF intoxication and
Of conduct unbeccming an officer. The
sentence Of the court was that he be
suspended from duty for period Of six
months. and be reduced ten numbers IN
the grade Of captain Capt. QualtroGgh.
Admiral Sperry added. was a passenger
on board the battle ship Georgia, which
is commanded On the homeward trip By
Commander George Y. Kline. former
executive officer, who was placed in COM
maEd when Capt. Quaitr5ugh was placed
under arrest. Admiral Sperry has ap-
proved the sentence Of the court. Nc
further acton Is necessary, although Sec
rotary Of the Navy Newberry has tie
power to mitigate the sentence
Capt. Qualtrough stands twenty-fifth IN
the list OF captains. As ne viii retire for
age in 1872 it Is not likely he WiIl be
able to overcome the loss Of ten numbers
and retire as rear admiral before reach
ing the age limit
Secretary Newberry said Re VIII not
begin consideration Of the case until the
full record OF the proceedings Of the
court have been received al the depart
ment.
Sentence Believed Lenient.
The general opinion among naval Of
hcers is that the sentence IS IenieDt, in
view OF the fact that Capt ousltroush
was found guilty Of iRtoxieation while AZ
a public reception in a foreign port, and
later had to be relieved Of command OF
his vessel In view Of these circUm-
stances. It is not regarded as probable
that Secretary Newberry win reduce the
sentence
A commanding officer wiz not be as
signed to the Georgia until the fleet re-
turns 10 Hampton Roads on February
p. Several officers are under conSidera-
ton. but no definite selection has yet
been made Officers whose tours OF sea
duty are completed viii be detached from
tie feet and given assignments on shore
Their places viii be filed by officers
whose shore service has expired
It is probable Rear Admiral Sserry VIII
relinquish command OF the feet shortly
after Hampton Roads is reached lie
viii retire on September ; next He win
