Johnson Chronology
Here is the chronology, or rather the
order of the incidents in the Johnson -Borah
affair which will be well to bear
in mind in 1020. It Is likely to be in
teresting :
1912 Johnson commits the offense ol
running for Vice President on the Bull
Moose ticket.
1016 Johnson commits the further
offense of carrying his state for senator,
by a large vote, while that state goes
against Hughes for President.
1017 Johnson arrives In Washing
ton as senator, much hated and feared
by Republicans. Assigned to such im-
charges of unfairly putting the zone I oe of this country to France in the

Three Ballot-Boxes
are Ordered Opened
Ontlnned rrotn re On
when It was discovered thatjno returns
nt all had been made on the nonpartisan
ballot far judges. Thereupon Judge
Audcnrled ordered the ballot-box
brought Into court and opened.
Officers Not in Court
The discovery that three election
boards made no returns was revealed at
the morning session of the official count.
No one knew what had become of the
returns from missing divisions. And
when the election judges were cnlled to
explain the mystery of the missing tnllv
sheets no one seemed to know what
had become of the judges.
At least it was quite certain that
they were not in the room, ns there
was no response when their names were
called. The judges turned to other
uusinrss, leaving the mystery unsolved
for the present.
The .Moore campaign committee law.
yers pnssed over an opportunity of
having the ballot-box of the fourteenth
division of the First ward opened.
Judge Audenrled himself declined to
order it opened when David J. Smyth,
of the Independents' counsel, refused
to ask for this proceeding. '
The unused ballots had been missing.
The judge of elections, au old man. who
explained that In all his experience ns
an election official since 1004 he had
never returned ballot pads, brought in
.. ... , - J, .. .v ,
the missing sheets under his nrm. Seven
uu-i-u u-iiois were missing.
"Do you want to take a chance, or do
you want to have the ballot-box open
ed," Judge Audenrled asked Mr.
Smythe.
"As I understand the law." Mr.
Smjthc parried, "it is up to the dis
cretion of the court whether or not
the ballot-box shall be opened "
"r ...:n ! ...
... v,,,i i-uuiuuer me vote here set
tledproceed with the count," snapped
Judge Audenrled.
Discrepancies Revealed
The morning session of the court con
tinued to reveal numerous inaccuracies
and discrepancies. Election officials
had a chance in each instance to ex
plain why they failed to comply exactly
with the law. Though Judge Auden
rled repeatedly warned them that sim
ilar errors in future elections might
lend to criminal prosecutions, he seemed
to sympathize with the difficulties o. the
men who had to puzzle out the diffi
culties of the law for the first time.
The sensational charges" made bv
Maurice Sneta on Saturday concerning
the thirteenth division of the First ward
were to have been answered today by
the election officers of that division, but
the explanation was sidetracked when
Judge Audenrled found the election
board in this division had left its unused
ballots in the polling place. He sent
the election judge, Joseph Dclara,
hurrying off to try to recover thjem.
Voters Illegally Aided, Charge
Saetn charged that Ray Watson, a
letter carrier, hod taken chnrge of
things in the thirteenth division on the
afternoon of primary day, although he
was not n member of the election bonrd,
and had begun to tabulate the count at
2 o'clock in the afternoon. Another
charge made by Saeta was that illegal
assistance had been given forty voters
during the day.
The election board of the division had
been ordered to appear this morning
to answer these accusations, also to tell
why they had failed to return something
likn 200 unused ballots.
Delara, tho election judge, explained
that he had not known the law In re
gard to returning unused ballots, and
had left them at the polling place. ThU
cut short further inquiry, as Judge Au
denrled sent him hurrying back to get
the missing ballots.
Delara said that he had taken one of
the ballot pads home with him to use
for writing paper.
"Thrift certainly is commendable
these days." the judge remarked dryly,
as the election officer hurried out of
the room.
Unused Ballot Pads Burned
An effort wns made to get back the
unused ballots of the sixteenth nnd
eighteenth divisions of the First ward,
but without result. The election judges
appeared nnd testified that they had re
turned the partly used ballot pads, but
had left the pads from which no ballots
had been taken in the polling place.
When they went back to try to salvage
them, after learning that the law re
quired they be produced, the election
judges found the pads had been burned.
To add to the complexities of the
count, it was discovered this morning
thnt the printers in many cases had
erred in the number of ballots glued
together in a pad. It should have heen
fifty; in some eases it was flf(y-one or
fifty-two, in others onl.v forty-nine. '

FNME AS NEUTRAL"
MAY GO TO ITALY?
Supremo Council Nears Agree-
want Internationalizing !'
Docks and. Rails
OCCUPIED AREA WIDENED
By the Associated Press 1
Pris, Sept. 22. There were Indi
cations today that the Supreme Council
might agree upon a settlement 'of the1
Dalmatian question on the basis of a'
fnrnjulu making Flume Italics but
neutral that is, not allowing Italy tcJ
keep troops there and Internationalizing
the doiks and railways, thus safeguard-
lug the Jugo-Slav and central European
interests.
This plan was submitted to President
Wilson on September 17 'and is nwalf'
Ing his decision.
France and (treat Ilritnln have ap
proved of the plan nnd the Jugo-Slavs
are reported to be favorable to It, al
though awaiting the American dcclsiou
before giving their reply.
The Italian forces are maintaining
I,,- uiuinmiv oi r nunc
Is learned, the allied
the blockade of Flume now in effect, it
navies merely
standing by as observers. '
i Genernl Badoglio's ultimatum to
Major Gnbricle D'Annunzlo's soldiers,
giving them until Friday night to leave
Flume, is snid to have been modified
so thnt the time limit would expire laBt
night. t
Although Fiume Is closely invested,
numbers of volunteers have eluded the
vigilance of guards nnd joined tho
D'Anminzio forces in the beleaguered
city, according to reports received here.
Personal friends of Major D'AnnunzIo
notified him they have sent supplies to
the city and expressed the hope that
their ships may run the blockade.
Food for 40,000 persons must be dis
tributed dally In Fiume.
Troops under Gabriele D'AnnunzIo',
insurgent Italian commander nt Flume,
have begun extending their zone of oc
cupation into Jugo-Slav territory, ac
cording to the Jugo-Slav delegation in
Paris. They penetrated seven miles into
Jugo-Slavia on Saturday, occupying the
heights at Risniak, dominating the sur
rounding country.
The Jugo-Slavs did not clash with the
D'AnnunzIo forces executing this move
ment, the delegation stated.
Washington. Sept. 22. (By A. P.)
No report of the landing of American
marines near Fiume has been received
at the Navy Department. Secretary
Daniels said today, however, that Rear
Admiral Andrews, commanding the'
American squadron in the Mediter-
rnnenn. had full power to use Xmcrlcnu
naval forces as might be needed. The
United States lias several cruisers and
smaller vessels near Fiume, hut the
total force they could put ashore would
be small, naval officials here said.
London, Sept. 22. (By A. P.)
American navy headquarters here, which
is in direct communication with Adriatic
ports, has no confirmation of the re
port from Rome last night that Ameri
can marines have, been lauded at Bue- X
can, near hiume. JNaval authorities
here arc not inclined to credit the re
port, there being .no reason for, the
United States to interfere.
The fact that an American ship is in
the harbor of Fiume is of no signifi
cance, in the opinion' of naval officers.
"AND NO PLACE TO GO"
Moore Campaign Headquarters Lease
Expires and No Substitute Appears
Congressman Moore, Republican nom
inee for Mayor, lis up against the same
proposition that faces many men and
women who rent their homes. ,
His campaign headquarters furniture
Is "nil dressed up and no place to go."
The first floor of the Liberty Build
ing, northeast corner of Broad and
Chestnut streets, was leased for the pre
liminary campaign for the nomination,,
but the lease has expired nnd headquar
ters must be established at some other
place.
But there s the rub. Joseph G. Cos
tello and others connected with the
campaign committee have 'canvassed the
central section in a vain effort to find a
slutable building.
The furniture is being moved from
the old quarters in the Liberty Building
to Congressman Moore'B private offices
in the Crozier Building, which nre rap
idly ossuming the appearance of a stor
age room.
