A CLOSED INCIDENT.
Navy Department Desires to So Regard
the Case.

Washington, June 1S.-The text of ths
proceedings before the Chicago court OF
inquiry with Admiral Crowningshields
strong endorsement thereon, contained
in The Associated Press dispatches from
London, has not yet reached the navy
department. Secretary Moody. on the ba-
sis of the cable reports. has positively
made up his mind that Admiral Crown
ingshield had acted correctly in not or
dering a courtmartial. so unless there Is
something in the body of the testimony
taken by the court of inquiry which is
not now known here to exist it is i'm
probable that he will abandon conviction.
AS to the status of Capt. Dayton, the
endorsement of Admiral Crowningshield
so far as it may reflect on him will go
on the official records, and unless the
officer should meanwhile clear himself
by asking for court of inquiry Or 4
courtmartial and securing a Judgment in
his favor, it might affect him when the
board on promotions next examines him
for promotion.
So far as the department is concerned.
however. there is the best reason to be-
lieve that it wishes to regard this matter
as a closed incident, influenced thereto
to some degree by the state department.
which earnestly desires to avoid the
prosecution OF n subject that might en-
bitter the existing pleasant relations
with Italy.

INQUIRY ENDED.
Court Sums Up Case Of u. S.
Naval Officers,
Who Were Imprisoned at Venice in
April Last.
No Evidence That Prison Rules Were
Exceeded.

London, June 18.-The text Of the
findings of the court of inquiry In the
case of the United States naval officers
imprisoned at Venice in the latter part
of April throws a new and important
light on the affair.
1t now appears that the United States
consul at Venice, Henry A. Johnson,
and the lawyer provided by him for the
defence. urged the officers to plead that
they were violently drunk This they
utterly declined to do. Rear Admiral
CroWninshield, commanding the Euro
pean squadron, in reviewing the find
ings of the court, severely censured
Capt. James II. Dayton, the comman-
der of the Chicago, for not personally
attending to the defence of the officers
and comments on the revolving indig-
mites" suffered by the officers while
confined at Venice. Under the circum-
stances Admiral Crowninshield holds
"a court martial would be a farce"
Capt. Dayton's court of inquiry min
utely traces the movements of the off,
GERS of the Chicago on the day of their
arrest and says Lieut.. John s. Dod-
bridge and Surg. Robert Z. Ledbetter
were affected by liquor to a noticeable
extent but were not intoxicated in the
ordinary meaning of the term, and
there is no evidence that the other par
ties were affected by drinking
The disturbance arose when Capt.
Robert E. Wynne, commanding the ma
rine guard of the Chicago, seeing Dod-
bridge and Ledbetter sitting outside
Florian's cafe. gave a hail unusual in
this place" Lieut.. Doddridge and
Surg. Ledbetter ran towards Capt.
Wynne, upsetting chairs and two ia
bles. A large crowd and the police i'm
mediately surrounded Lieut.. Doddridge,
who endeavored to explain. THE
crowd" the findings continue, pressed
on, shouting and gesticulating, and
Were not well controlled by the police.
The police seized Lieut.. Doddridge and
apparently at the same time the crowd
attacked him. Lieut.. Doddridge was
roughly handled by the police and it
required the assistance of citizens to
effect his arrest. But there were no
means of distinguishing the persons as
sisting the police from those who were
wantonly attacking the prisoner"
Capt. Wynne, Surg. Ledbetter, Naval
Cadet James c. Kress and Landley, a
marine. ali IOrclDly attempted 10 leip
Lieut.. Doddridge. retaliating for the
assistance of the civilians but not at
lacking the police.
AT the station" it is added in the
findings of the court, there was much
excitement. The crowd was at first al
lowed therein and no one appeared to
be in high authority. The crowd shout
ed and gesticulated and the officers
made demands and protests. Their
treatment in Jail was strict and humili-
ating, but there was no evidence that
the prison rules were exceeded

IN VERMONT.
Republicans Gathering for Their State
Convention, Today.

Montpelier, VT, June 1S.-The Capt.
tai city of Vermont is now the scene of
what Is considered the most notable
political conflict in the state for a gen.
Grafton. Since early yesterday, the Re-
publican campaign workers, delegates
and friends, numbering upwards of
1000. in all, have been arriving. The
most intense interest is maintained in
the contest for the gubernatorial nomi-
ration, and it is apparent that tomor-
rows convention will have to take sew
eral ballots before the fight between
the candidates will be finally settled.
The candidates are Gen. John CT. Nc
Cullough of Bennington: Percival w.
Clement of Rutland; and Fletcher d.
Proctor of Proctor.
In recent years, there has been much
dissatisfaction with the workings of
prohibition, until now the present cam
paign is being fought on issues growing
out of the liquor laws. Gen. McCul-
Tough has not taken a decided stand
one way or the other, but announced
that he would obey the mandate of the
voters, whether expressed in referen-
dunn or by their voting on the local
option candidate, while Mr.. Proctor is
an avowed prohibitionist.
The total number of delegates en-
titled to vote, tomorrow, in the con-
vention is 725, making 363 the number
necessary for a choice. 1t was esi-
mated. tonight that Gen. Mccullough
was sure of 1926 delegates, Mr.. Clement
of about 222 and Mr.. Proctor of about
10.
The Mccullough workers expect
many defections to their candidate af-
ter the first ballot.
For lieutenant governor, Judge E. S.
Stanton of Roxbury, appears to be the
leading candidate
