Commander Hill Charged With
Keeping "a Dirty Ship"
FIRST TIME IN HISTORY
Court Martial Is Ordered After In
spection Board Reported.
MARIETTA SAID TO BE UNFIT
Described as In Bad Condition From
Stem to Stern After West
Indian Cruise.

There is considerable gossip in naval
circles as a result of the issue Of orders
at the Navy Department for the trial by
court-martial OF Commander Frank K.
Hill o fthe gunboat Marietta on the gen
eral charge OF neglect of duty. The Ma
rietta recently completed a cruise in West
Indian waters, and is now at the navy
yard, Portsmouth. n. II. On her way to
the northern yard she stopped at Norfolk
and was regularly inspected by the naval
board Of inspection and survey.
The orders for the court-martial of
port of that board that the ship was
in bad condition as result of failure
to comply with the regulations for the
care of the ship. In naval parlance, the
board reported. 1t is said, that the
Marietta was dirty and unfit Ship
and that the plates Of her hull and cef-
tain metal work had deteriorated as a
result of leaving water in the bilges.
According to the story current in the de-
partment. the ship. from the engine room
to mess quarters, was In bad condition
as result of a failure to take proper
ordinary precautions against rust and
dirt. This Is probably the first time
in the history Of the United States Navy
with maintaining dirty Ship.
Surprise to Navy Men.
Commander Hill was regarded as one
of the most efficient officers In the serv-
Ice. and general surprise is expressed by
his friends at his present predicament
He and Commander Key were prominent
in the group OF officers who freely criti-
cfsed the construction and equipment of
some Of the battleshfps during the world S
cruise of the Atlantic fleet In partial
explanation of the case 1t is said that
Commander Hill may have lost interest
In his ship because he felt that he had
not been given a command commensurate
with his rank and Importance.
The court-martial will meet at the navy
yard. Portsmouth, N. H., April IL, and
will consist Of Rear Admiral Herbert
Winslow, Rear Admiral Lewis c. Heilner,
Capt. F. N. Boswick, Capt. James M
Helm. Capt. Roy Smith. Commander
