By the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 30.-The Press
Association understands that a
court inquiry under the craftsmanship
of Lord Blanesburgh, formerly Lord
Justice Younger. will sit in the for
eign Office early in October to inquire
into certain allegations by an official
of the British diplomatic service of
his treatment abroad"
The evidence, according to the
Press Association, "is likely to be of a
most remarkable nature and many
sensational statements have been
taken by foreign office officials. The
hearing before the court will prob
ably be protracted, as high officials
of the diplomatic service are in
Volved."
The foregoing statement. which may
be regarded as almost official. men
tions no names, but apparently re-
fers to the same case as the Evening
News, which states that foreign Of
flee departmental committee has been
ordered to investigate the alleged ar
rest and deportation from Brazil Of
Walter Annesley Stewart counselor
OF the British embassy at Rio Janeiro,
who declared that he was seized
without warning by six policemen,
detained two days and then relea sed
on tne OF TWO ana
ordered to IeaVe the country.
Called ScandalOux Drama.
The News says that Sir John A. C.
J'iiiey. the British Ambassador, is on
his way home to give evidence at the
inquiry, and the paper quotes a for
eign office official as declaring that
the probe will be in the nature of a
disciplinary board, "as serious allega-
l., u Il -
yestigated."
'Fhe News prints an article credited
to the Brazilian newspaper, GaZeta de
Noticias. in which the affair is char
acterized as "a scandalous drama
which cannot fail to re-echo in view
of the insult to national sovereignty
which the occurrence represents"

with reference to the situation in this

The message, which La Toilette

follows:
Secs LAWS in Way.
Replying to your telegram, it is
ity be afforded under the State laws
the popular will in the election of
all public officials. To my regret
there are States in the Union where
the law is such that this is not pos
sible and it is too late now to change
such laws. While / am heartily in
favor of party government, | believe
that when a contest is made in a
primary which is open to participa-
ton of all the people it should go far
to determining what candidates are
to be presented at coming election.
Nevertheless I recognize that it
is the privilege of our voters to sup
port any one they wish at the polls
and feel that the laws should not be
drawn for the purpose of preventing
such action. 1 would apply this rule
not only to your complaint about
Louisiana, but to all the other States
of the Union.

Secretary of State to show cause Oc-

and the names Of the 10 La Toilette
Wheeler electors should not be placed
on the ballot for the general election
in November.
Mr.. Bailey had refused to accept
the petitions to place the names of
electors on the ballot on the ground
that hundreds of the signatures
thereon were those of voters who
had registered either as Democrats
or Republicans. A State statute re-
quires that petitions seeking to have
the names of independent candidates s
placed upon the ballot must bear the
signatures only of voters who had
registered as independent of party
