conspiracy" to steal Republican votes
last November, were wheeled into a
crowded Federal Court room today as
evidence against five indicted election
workers.
Milligan said in his opening state
ment that the ballots would show 1862
persons in the thirteenth precinct Of
the twelfth Kansas City ward were
disenfranchiSed by actions of the de-
PENDANTS, first of rs under indictment
to go to trial.
6S6 for Roosevelt, 81 for LandOn.
"As the defendants calculated and
certified" Milligan said, they gave
to President Roosevelt 686 votes and
TO Alfred M. Landon 81 votes. In
truth and in fact the votes cast for
Mr.. Roosevelt numbered $40 and those
cast for Mr.. Landon were ITO"
Fred Bellemere, Democratic chair
man of the City Election Board, and
Vincent J. Doherty, chief deputy cleo
ton commissioner, testified today as to
details of election procedure.
PendergaSt Has No Objection.
Kansas City, where the organiza-
ton of Thomas j. Pendergast is a
powerful factor, went heavily Demo-
cratic last November. Pendergast,
called "the boss" by friend and foe
alike, recently said he saw no OBJ
pointed out he was i'll and unable to
actively direct his organization at the
last election.
Milliman announced the Gov

Adler, Republican judge, was ousted
and replaced by Democrat after she
refused a suggestion allegedly made
by one of the defendants, John H.
Drummond, Democratic precinct cap
tain, not to count some votes.
Milligan said it will be shown Mrs.
Adler was told by another defendant,
Edison NJ Walker, Democratic judge,
she would be taken for a one-way
ride" If she insisted on counting all
ballots

Mrs. Adler to leave, the district at

Portuguese entrances to Spain by q
naval blockade.
Ultimate participation of Portugal,
faced with a fait accompli by the
committee, was hoped for, and Great
Britain was understood to be plan
ming continued pressure to gain her
consent to land observers.
The naval patrol program resulted
from refusal by both the Valencia
government and the insurgent ad-
ministration to permit stationing Of
neutral observers in their territory.
AS now worked out, in the face of
Portuguese refusal to participate, the
plan embodies two main points:
1. Establishment of more than
1000 observers along the Franco
Spanish and Gibraltar Spanish
frontiers TO report to the committee
violations which then would be made
the subject Of strong representations
to the offending governments. The
approximate $4,000 900 cost would be
apportioned among the committee
members.
2. A tight naval blockade of the
entire peninsula, including both
Portuguese and Spanish ports main
tanned by the warships Of the great
European powers.
Just as in the case of the land
observers, these naval patrols would
not have authority to halt and search
suspected violators, but would report
ship movements to the committee for
action by the nation concerned.
All ships bound for Spain would be
required to put into control ports
where an observer of the committee
would be taken aboard to travel with
the vessel to Spain, ensuring the cargo
to be bare Of war materials.

CASE TOBEPROBED
President Roosevelt Prom
ises Inquiry After Visit
by Mitchell.

The enforced resignation from the
Naval Academy Of Midshipman James
Lee Johnson, jr., colored. of 1887 S
street, will be investigated by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to make sure there
was no discrimination or injustice in
volved," it was announced today.
johnson complied with request for
his resignation last week after he had
been found to have deficient eyesight
to have failed in two subjects and to
have been late for formation seven
times
The announcement that the Presi-
dent will investigate the resignation
followed a visit to the White House
by Representative Arthur w. Mitchell,
colored, Democrat. of Chicago, who
appointed johnson 30 the Academy
last Summer.
johnson was one of 1876 Midshipmen
to resign because of scholastic OF
physical deficiencies.
Charges UnfairnesS.
Leaving the White House, Repre-
sentative Mitchell charged that john
son was unfairly treated and had been
"railroaded" out of the Academy.

produce evidence to prove this and,
when talking with a group of news

said.
Mitchell said he also had sent pro-
test to the Navy Department and to
the proper Academy authorities, be-
sides talking personally with Rear
Admiral David F. Sellers, superin-
tendent of the Academy. He said
Admiral Sellers conferred with him in
his office at the Capitol for As minutes
before johnson resigned, during which
time Mitchell went into details regard
ing his charges of discrimination.
Later, he said, he went to Annapolis

"It's a clear case of railroading, I"
the colored House member said.
johnson was first found deficient in
department and, according to academy
authorities, he was just trif1e short
in English and history. The authori-
ties evidently thought that they could
get away with this, but I intend to
push it to the end. Now that I am
showing some interest, the authorities
say that johnson was also deficient
physically because of bad eyesight.
This sounds strange because he passed
the eye test when he took the physi-
cal examination to enter the academy.
"It also strikes me as strange"
Representative Mitchell said, that
this young man is now found to be
deficient in his studies due to the fact
that he was granted his full leave
during the Christmas vacation I
have learned that midshipmen who
are behind in their studies or other
wise deficient are not granted Christ
mas vacations"
Pending the White House investi-
cation. according to Mitchell, johnson
is still at the Academy, although all
the other midshipmen who were
dropped because Of deficiency have
departed.
