Artillery Officer Charged with Court Martial over Club Shortages
Capt Solomon Avery, an artillery captain stationed at the Presidio, is ordered to appear before a court martial to answer charges of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman.

Avery, who served through the Spanish American War, rose from first lieutenant of the 23d New York Infantry to captain in the coast artillery before this assignment. Presidio officers say the alleged culpability rests on careless business methods.
