CHARGES OF GRAFT
AGAINST OFFICERS
Suit Develops in Connection
With Purchases for British
Army, "Canteen."
GREAT INTEREST IN CASE
Prosecutor Declares Corruption
Has Been Going On
for Years.

London, January 17.-For many years
no suit has aroused such widespread
interest in the British Isles as proceed
mgs which were opened to-day against
eight officers of the British army and
eight civilians on charges of whole
sale graft in connection with purchases
for the army "canteens."
Thirteen Of the accused men appeared
when the magistrate called the case
to day. Two OF the officers failed to
answer the sNmmonses. while one of the
civilians was absent because of i'll
ness. Six commissioned officers and
two noncommisso toned officers are in
volved. All are connected with the
Qunrtermasters department of the War
Office. All the officers have risen from
the rapks. The eight civilians are all
employees of Upton Limited, OF which
Sir Thomas Upton is managing d.
rector. They include John Cansfield.
general manager and director OF the
company; James Craig, general man
ager of the military department of the
company, and the former and present
managers of the company at the mill
tary headquarters In Ireland and ut
Aldershot and Salisbury Plain.
According TO the speech of the prose

been going on for upwards of ten years,

that n general court-martial had been

a system OF bribery and corruption in

When the court-martial was about
to convene crown officers notified the
War Office that the jurisdiction of such
court was too limited for action that
might be necessary. Proceedings of

Mr.. Glass, who is editor of the

was the second appointment made by

Urged O'Ncnl Not to Appoint.
Many Democratic Senators had urged
Governor O'Neal not to make the ap-
pointment, the general opinion being
that. inasmuch as the Alabama Legisla-
ture had not provided under terms OF
the amendment Tor filling Vacancies.
that such an appointment would not be
legal Proponents of the Governor
position argued that the amendment
would not be effective in States which
had made no provision for such emer-
gencies, and that the old law would
prevail until supplemental action had
been taken either by the Legislature or
by Congress.
If the action Of the committee is sus-
tntned. it determines that the amend
ment is now In effect and that State
Legislatures must direct the Governor
as to the method of filling vacan cies
The Alabama Legislature was not in
session when Senator Johnston died,
and Governor ONeal was urged to call
special session to authorize him to
appoint successor In accordance with
the amendment, but he did not do so.
In the Maryland case Senator Jack
son was appointed before adoption of
the amendment, but after it had been
ratified, Governor Goldsborough, a Re-
publican, called senatorial primary
election. Blair Lee was victorious
II was declared that the election was
irregular. because it had not been
called by the Legislature. The com
mittee seemed TO think that Mr.. Lee
was entitled to his seat, because he was
chosen by direct vote of the people,
waving the technicality as TO who
called the election.
