COL. WILLIAMS
Continued from Page One)

with terse statement by the secre-
tary that he had approved the con-
viction of Colonel Williams on the
following specification;
I'm that Alexander S. Williams,
now a colonel, U. S. Marine Corps.
while so serving in command of the
Fourth Regiment, U. S. Marine
Corps, Marine Corps Base, Naval
Operating Base, San Diego. Califor-
MIA, was, on or about March 6, 1926,
in the public rooms of the Hotel Del
Coronado. Coranado Beach. Califor-
mia, under the influence of intoxicat-
ing liquor and thereby incapacitated
for the proper performance of duty"
The charges against Colonel Will
liams were made personally by
Brigadier General Smedley D. Butler,
commandant of the Marine Base
who recently returned to duty with
the corps after having served two
years as public safety director of
PhiladelphiaA Just before Colonel
Williams went to the hotel on the
night involved, he was host to Gen.
eral Butler and others at his home
and it was developed at the court
martial that cocktails were served
at that time. The charge preferred
by General Butler, however, made
no mention of this circumstance but
were confined to the action of Col
onel Williams in the public rooms of
the hotel.
In view of his conviction and SEN
tence, it was generally regarded as
certain that Colonel Williams nane
would not appear upon the list of
colonies eligible for promotion to the
grade of brigadier general. The
courtmartiars result, however, does
not constitute any binding require
ment on the selection board, compos-
ed entirely of general officers of the
Marine Corps, to pass him over.

Chinese Bandits
Release Capt. Belts
OF United States Army

Picking, May 21-(P)--After two
days in the hands of bandits in nor
thern Yunnan province. one of the
most remote parts of Chint, Captain
Thomas j. Belts, United States
Army. is again free. the American
legation was informed today.
Myrl S. Meyers, United States con-
sui at Yannan-F'u, telegraphed the
legation he had been advised by the
local magistrate of Laitowpo. scene
of Captain Belts capture, that the
bandits had released their prisoner
on May 10. Laitowpo is a small town
about 100 miles north of Yunnan-F Flu.
Captain Belts, attached to the
American legation for the study of
Chinese. was making pourney from
French Indo- China to the Yantse
across one of the districts of China
least travelled by foreigners.
Information travels slowly in
China, even by telegraph, and Yum
nan is the most remote province from
Peking. Hence, it appears that Cap
tain Belts was freed before the
American legation was informed of
his capture and began to seek his
release.
