ATTORNEY GENERAL
 ExoNERATEs UPTON.
No Evidence to Connect Him Witt
 Canteen Scandals.

London, July 1.-The attorney-geu- eral declared today there was no ev- idence before him to justify the crim- inal prosecution of Sir Thomas Lip ton in connection with the recent army canteen scandals, for which several army officers and employees of Lipton. Limited. were convicted on charges of accepting or giving bribes to influence contracts.
 Replying to a question by Sir Ar thur Markham in the House of Com mons. the attorney general said pro- ceedings already had been taken in regard to those against whom evidence existed. No such evidence. however, existed against Sor Thomas Lipton.
 At the annual meeting of Lipton, Limited. today Sir Thomas was att tackled by a number of shareholders.
 Sir Thomas, in a speech. said mo- body could attempt to justify the acts of the man who had been implicated in the canteen scandals and nobody de- ploreT them more than he did He de- clared such steps had been taken as would effectually prevent recurrence of the scandals.
 The meeting concluded with hearty cheers and the expression of wishes for the success of Shamrock " in its attempt to bring back the Americas cup to England.

NORWICH HISTORIC
 CONNECTIONS. The Evidences of Our Storied Past Arouse Envy In Our Sister City.


 Norwich is ahead of New London on places of evident historic connec- tion-that is. it is evidently so. When they had their 250th celebration of Founders day, or whatever it was that was founded up there 25o years ago, they located the places where were houses in 16oe and attached neatly painted tablets indicating the same and the people who then lived In them, and such other tablet informa- tion as the place and its association warranted. These tablets are distri- buted through the city, but are most ly observed from the Falls Yantic trolley line, as that seemed to have made up part of a then important Norwich highway. The commentator took a trip on that route Sunday af- ternoon and was nightly interested. Which started the first sentence of this comment with the evident" pro- viso. We would like to see If the New Lcndon Historical society couldn't beIt out Norwich on its evidences" We have some historical places ourselves that might be tableted-and ought to be tableted. Let us see if we can't some day put up a few tablets and so interest the stranger, of whom we have many. If there isn't money enough in the historical society to pay for tao letting the trolley company might help for the more historical places on it's routing the more fares 1t will be taking up from the sightseers.-New London Globe
