Naval Officer Sentenced

Capt. Robert E. Impey, the naval officer stationed at San Francisco, who got into trouble over refusing to pay a dentist's bill of SSO and intimating that the navy department would not allow so large an amount, thereby endeavoring to use his official position to avoid payment of a private indebtedness, has been sentenced. The court finds him guilty of “scandalous conduct tending to the corruption of good morals,” sentences him to a reduction of ten numbers, makes him take rank next after Capt. W. W. Reisinger, suggests a public reprimand in orders by the Secretary of the Navy and that he be placed on furlough pay for two years. Secretary Long has not yet approved these findings of the court and still has .the papers before him.
