THE NEWS AT WASHINGTON.

THE FINDINGS ~ THE WHITAKER CASE
THE COURT MARTIAL REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN
HtFGu-FEEIING OF ARMY OFFICERS.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. St Is said on high authority
that tJujpe-Advocatc-General Swain, in reviewing
the court martial proceedings in the case OF Cadet
Whitaker has raised the point that the Court was
Illegally constituted because it was ordered by Pres
idcnt Hayes without any request from thc Depart
mcnt commander. and that therefore all the pro-
ccednGs were void It is argued that the power OF
the President to order an Army court martial is not
Inherent in him commander-in-cmei, but Is CON
ferrod solely by the statutory authority contained
in the I'D Article Of War, which reads as flows;
Any general officer commanding the army Of tho
United statcs sapar1te army or separate Depart
mcn', shall hc pctcnt TO appoint genera! court
when any commaudrr is the prosecutor
of any officer under his command; the Cont Shau ne
appointed ny the President, and its proceedings ana
sentence shall be saut directly The Secretary OF War
by whom they shall be laid before the President Tor hs
approval or orders IN the case.
This article it is conteudel, conrcrs no power
upon the President TO convene auArpy court martial
except in the contingency specified. The question
viii probably be referred 70 the Ntorucr-Gencrll
for his opinion. The view above indicated Is ap-
rarantly strengthened by the fact that Congress,
some years ago expressly authorized the President
to convene court marals in Navy cases without re-
strictiou.
