NO TRIAL FOR CADETS.
Senator Johnston Will Not Try tt
Pass Resolution Over Veto.

The joint resolution granting a trial to
nine West Point Military Academy ca
diets. who were dismissed for hazing,
which recently was vetoed by the Presi-
dent. Will be allowed to die. Senator
Johnston of Alabama, the author of the
resolution, said today that he would make
no effort to have the measure passed over
the presidential objections.
THE resolution only gave the PreA-
dent authority to act. BY his veto he in
dicates that he does not want to assume
that authority. and l shall take no steps
to impose it. In other words. the case is
prejudiced. and it would serve no pur-
pose to go further said the Alabama
senator.
