Especial to The Richmond Virginian.)
NORFOLK. VA, May 1.-THE in
teresting announcement in connection
with the naval commissary graft cases
was made today that officers com
prising the naval court martial, which
tried and convicted w. w. Dickey,
former commissary steward OF the
battleship Kansas, and against whom
Dickey entered suit for $4,000 dam
ages, will insist upon an immediate
trial of this suit. 1t is likely the trial
Will take place during the present term
of the court
Dfckey was arrested when Com
mssary Steward Davis confessed to
grating" duplicating Dickey as well
as number of civilian contractors.
After being kept in solitary confine-
ment, Dickey made confession. and
was released.
Repuiiated Confession.
Upon advice of counsel, he subse-
quently repudiated this confession
and brought suit against Commander
Roger Welles, commander of the
Louisiana, Captain A. T. Mark United
States marine corps, and other Of
ffcers of the court, charging them
with false imprisonment. Later Dick
ey was rearrested by the naval author
tiles and tried by n court martial
%niCh sentenced MIN 10 serve i've
years in the naval prison at Ports
mouth, N. H., where he Is now. The
charge upon Which Dickey was sent
to prison was "scanda1ous conduct
detrimental to morals" 1t was stated
yesterday that efforts will be made to
have Dickey's sentence reduced.
Although the government failed to
secure a conviction in its strongest
case against the civilian contractors
here, naval officers closely connected
with the cases said yesterday that the
Investigations and prosecutions have
been OF inestimable benefit, and re-
suited In the saving of many thou
sands Of dollars to the government.
Expenditures Smaller.
| 1t was authoritatively asserted that
since the Investigations were begun
the expenditures for commissslry sup
/ plies on the battleships Louisiana and
Kansas alone have averaged no less
than 500 day less than they were
/ before.
Enlisted men say they have been
getting better and more generous
ratons that men are better satisfied
than ever before so far as the COM
missary departments Of the ships are
concerned II was pointed out tina.
| the improvement applies not only to
the ships upon which irregularities
were found. but throughout the entire
naval service.
