SAN DIEGO, CAL, April 12.-Ac-
cused of drunkenness, punishable by
q maximum penalty of dismissal
from the service, Col. Alexander
Williams. distinguished Marine
Corps officer, was scheduled to ap-
pear here today before a general
court-martial.
For the first time since he was
placed under technical arrest and

ance March at the fashionable
Hotel Del Coronado, where ne Is
charged with having been inloxl.
Gated, Colonel Williams was to come
face to-face with his accuser, Gen.
Smedley d. Butler, firebrand or the
marines and formerly director OF
public safety in Philadelphia during
q hectic cleanup crusade.
May Tel Of Famous Party
while semi-officiaI announcement
has been made than the sole at
tempt of the prosecution will be
to prove that Colonel Williams was
intoxicated the night of March 3,
1926. at the Hotel Del Coronado,
the way was opened for the INTRO
duction of what may prove sensa-
tfonal testimony when 1t was
learned the prosecution may IN
troduce witnesses to tell OF the
famous cocktail dinner in the
Colonel's home the same evening
he was said to have visited the
hotel and invoked the wrath OF
General Butler.
The dinner was given in honor
OF General Butler and it was re-
ported by high naval officers at
the time that good luck toasts
were drunk to celebrate the gen
erals arrival here to succeed Colonel
williams as commandant Of the
Marine Corps base.
Distinguished Marines Present
Several distinguished Marine,
Corps officers and their wives
attended the dinner.
while the charges against Col
oziel williams do not relate directly
to the dinner given at his home.
there is nothing to prevent the
prosecution from introducing wit
