CAPT. W. W. PHELPS, NAVY,
REDUCED BY TEN NUMBERS
Court Found Him Guilty OF Negligence
In Allowing Ship To Run
On Wreck.

In the case of Capt William w.
Phelps, IT, S. N, who was tried by a
Naval Court Martial September 4.
1917, on board of the u S S.
Louisiana, as made public recently.
the charges were as follows:
Charge l. - Through inattention
and negligence. suffering vessel of
the Navy to be run upon submerged
wreck and hazarded tone specifica-
tion).
Charge H. ~ Culpable inefficiency
in the performance of duty Zone speci-
flcation)
The court found the specification of
the first charge proved" and the ac-.
cused guilty of the charge; the
specification of the second charge
proved" but without 'eulpability,"
the accused mot guilty of the
charge. and the court, accordingly,
did fully acquit the accused of the
second charge The court sentences
Captain Phelps to lose ten numbers in
his grade. The senior officer present
commanding United States Atlantic
Fleet placed the following indorse-
ment upon the record in the foregoing
case: "The proceedings, findings, and
sentence of the general court martial
in the foregoing case of William w.
Phelps, captain, U. S. Navy, are ap-
proved, and he will be released from
arrest and restored to duty. 1t is
noted from an examination of the rec
ord in this case that the accused was
fully acquitted of the charge of 'Cul-
pable inefficiency in the performance
of duty, the finding upon the speci-
fication under this charge being
Proved, but without culpability' Ma
val Digest, 1916, Findings No. SO,
reads as follows and would appear to
have a bearing on this case. A find
ing of proved, but without criminali-
ty,' is not to be encouraged in any
case. 1t is virtually form of acquit-
tai, being a determination that the ac-
cused is not guilty in law. 1t will
therefore be more legally accurate, as
well as more military and more just
to the accused to express and record
the findings simply as not guilty.
The Department concurred in the re-
marks and the action of the conven-
ing authority as above set forth.
Captain Phelps is we'll known about
Annapolis, as he had on several occa-
sions been attached to duty at the
Naval Academy He was, until year
ago, the officer in charge of ships OF
the local station, and just prior to this
was head of the Department of Sea-
manship. He is Marylander, hav'
ing formerly been a resident of the

Both Local Football Teams Will Be Ia
Action Tomorrow Cadets At
Chestertown.

Football teams of the Naval Acad-
emy and Maryland State College will
lcck horns on the gridiron here
tomorrow afternoon.
Although State, coached by Curly
Byrd, an aiumnus and former grid
iron star of the College Park insti-
tuition, turned out a strong aggrega-
tion last season, the team this year, it
is reported, does not measure I'D to
the calibre of the 1916 eleven. owing
to the fact that the Aggies, like a
number OF other State Colleges suf-
fered heavily, either by graduation, or
that many of the men of the regular
squad answered the call to the colors.
However, they got away to a good
start last Saturday when they defeat
ed the team of Delaware State byNa
score of 20 TO O.
Although the Middies are still in a
rather crude state-as Coach Dobie is
developing a team largely cut of green
material-they do not anticipate much
difficulty in taking the measure of the
Aggies. Several of the players are
numbered among the hospital list, al
though none has been seriously hurt
thus far However, it is expected they
will have strong combination for the
90 against the Farmers
