THE P0PE-P0RTER
CONTROVERSY

Fifty years ago a celebrated military
case was attracting the attention OF
the nation originating a controversay
which lasted for virtually a quarter of
Q century. On the seventh of Member
Major General John Fitzjohn Porter
was ordered to Washington for an in
v~estigation of his conduct in Ponies
lli-fated Virginia campaign.
Pope charged General Porter with
studied dilatoriness, alleging that he
nan dlsobeyed orders and remained
stationary when, had he followed his
Instructions q victory instead of de.
teat would ave been the result.
General Porter's defence was that his
Judgment Justified him in disobeyinr
the commands of his chief. and that
that d~isobedience. 20 far from resulting
n disaster to the Union, prevented
disaster from being greater than it
was. -
General Porter was brought before
9 court-ma rtial, which eventually
sentenced him to dismissal from the
~servtce--that is, chashiered him-and
20 De forever disqualified from hold
ing any office Of honor or emolument
under the United States.

ShipbuiIding company OF Camden, N.
j.: the William Cramps AND Sons Ship
building company of Philadelphia. and
the Newport News Shirbuilding and
Dry Dock company. At the yards of
these firms have been built nearly all
the torpedo boat destroyers i'm the
United States navy.
The vessels turned out at these yards
have been declared to be first class
by naval officers. The navy depart
ment has been pleased with the prod
ucts. While the navy department Is
satisfied with the products of these
yards. they are not pleased at all with
the fact that these yards have quilt
all but fourteen of the thirty-four tor
ledo BOAT d~estroyers in the navy built
since 1907.
The officials OF the navy department
are morally certain that the United
states government. through the navy,
is one of h best trust victims i'm the

vinced that the five yards named are

Lack Written Evidence.
Several times the heads of the navy
department. have considered placing
the matter before the department Of
justice. but the siag against which
they ran in their Investigations doomed
so big that they hesitated. This snag
was the lack of written evidences.
Search as they might, dig as they did,
the officials of the navy department
We're and are unable to produce any
scmblance of a written agreement pro-
lnulsated by the yards in question,
showing that they had conspired to
control the work of building the navy
destroyers.
The general construction of torpedo
boat destroyers began in September.
1905. under the act of May Is, 1908, for
the building of small craft for the
navy. Since the first bids were SUBJ
mitted to the navy department for tho
construction of d%estroyers there has
been some kind Of an agreement. in
the judgment of navy officials, be-
tween the heads of five Yards to pro-
p~ortionate among them the work OF
building destroyers.
The opening of the first bids aroused
the suspicious of the navy department
that s. mething was wrong" Since
then bids have continued to be opened
and with their opening the suspicious
have grown until now if YOU ask a
navy official if there is a shipbuilding
trust he will tell YOU yes, but that he
is unable to go into court and prove it.

article analyzing the whole controversy
from the point Of view Of a st%rategist
whose eminence was not to be ques-
toned.
The accommodating evidence in Porter's
favor finally brought him restoration
to the army. but not until President
Cleveland was in the White House, u
quarter Of a century after he had been
court-martialed. General Porter has
now been dead many years and the
controversy concerning his conduct
has practically passed out Of public
notice.
Occasionally two veterans of the vir-
ginia campaign disagree when they
meet. and the subject of Porter's con-
duct is brought up, but as a whole
there seems to be a general feeling in
military circles that Porter was an
il-used man. and that the verdict of
the court-martial reflected in no slight
degree the current discomfort not only
with those who had failed. but with
those who had been thought to have
failed. E. H. W.
