Contradict Testimony of
Witness.
ANNAPOLIS. Md-. July 19. The open
Ins session here today of the court of
Inquiry conducting- a second Investigation
into the death of Lieutenant James N,
Sutton, of the United States Marine
Corps, was replete with dramatic situs.
tlons.
Henry E. Davis, counsel for Mrs. Sut
ton. cross-examined the witness. Mr.
Davis wanted to know if Adams' rela
tlons with Button were always agreeable.
Lieutenant Adams said he had little to do
with Sutton. On further cross-examlna
tion Lieutenant Adams said that Sutton
had threatened to shoot him as they were
going toward camp, after Lieutenant
Vtley had ordered them b postpone the
fight.
Made Threats of Murder.
Later, before Sutton left them. Sutton
threatened to shoot them all before sun
rise, the witness said. Asked by Mr.
Davis If, in his opinion, Sutton shot him
self. Lieutenant Adams said he believed
Button deliberately shot himself after he
heard some one say Lieutenant Roelker
had been shot and not as a result of
accident during the struggle.
Major Leonard objected to any opinion
on the matter by the witness. When Mr.
Davis pressed the question, the Judge-
Advocate withdrew his objection.
A pertinent question Mr. Davis asked
the witness was:
"So you got off Button because you
knew there was assistance at hand, and
left him on the ground with both re
volvers In his hands, although he had
three times tried to shoot you and might
have done so again, did you?"
The witness said he made no 'attempt
to disarm Sutton. Sutton seemed to be
come suddenly exhausted after the fifth
shot, the witness said.
Adams' Story Grsphic
Lieutenant Adams said he attended the
dance at the academy the night of Octo
ber 12. 1907. and afterwards went to Car
vel Hall with Lieutenants Osterman and
Vtley. There they met Lieutenant Sut
ton, and started in Owens' automobile
for Carvel Hall with Sutton, to the ma
rine camp.
"We went over the College Creek
bridge." said the witness, "and going
over the bridge the machine was mak
ing considerable noise, and as we were
out after hours, U o'clock being the limit.
Lieutenant TTUey suggested we stop the
machine and walk, so as not to be
caught. I reached over and touched the
chauffeur and told him to stop. Sut
ton called me a d fool, and said he
would Urk h 1 out of me. I unfas
tened my collar and jumped out.
"Sutton and the others got out and as
we were preparing to fight, the senior
officer stepped in and ordered us to stop
and said we could fight it out the next
morning. We started for the barracks
and got under an electric light, when
Sutton and Osterman struck each other
several times before they could be sep
arated. I stood from IS to 26 feet away
during that time.
"From there we went by the old road
to the barracks to report to the offi
cer of the day, leaving Sutton behind.
Hs refused to go with us. I told Oster
man on the way over if I had known, as
I heard then, that Sutton 'shot up' the
camp two weeks before, we would have
gotten a rifle to protect ourselves. '
Tells of Shooting.
"On fhe way over an officer held us up.
It proved to be Vtley. and he ordered us
back to the scene of the fight to see If
we could find any clothes. I started
down the path, and had gone 30 or 40
paces, when I saw something white. It
seemed to arise, and a voice said: 'That's
that d Adams. I'm going to kill you.'
,-He fired. I ran at him. He fired
again. We grappled. He fired a third
time, and bit me in the finger. As we
wheeled around. I saw Roelker In a po
sition to assist me. I threw Sutton
around and got on his back, trying to
kefp him from shooting. At that time
someone jumped on Sutton's left hand;
I don't know who it was. There was a
hot. and I cried. 'My God! has he killed
Roelkerr As I stood up there was a
flash, and I looked toward Sutton, to see
him prostrate and evidently dead."
At this point Lieutenant Adams illus
trated his strucg'.e with Button, with an
orderly as his assistant. The witness lay
down on the floor and went through the
attitude of the struggle. Mrs. Sutton
eyed the witness closely as he was testi
fying. She shook her head occasionally.
In answer to Major Leonard's questions,
Adams said he had never had any dis
agreement or words with Sutton prior to
that night. He said there was no argu
ment in the automobile. Sutton did not
Charles Haserty, I.a Grande Logger,
Loses Limb by Amputation, Skin
Grafted on Stockdcr.
George A. Stockder, a traveling sales
man who was frightfully burned about
his face and body on the morning of
May 24 last by an explosion of gas I
his apartments at 763 Marshall street,
and whose condition bad been critics
until a few days ago. Is on the road
to swift recovery, all because Charles
Hazerty, of La Grande, Or., suffered a
accident that necessitated the amputa
tion of bis right leg.
The attending surgeons skillfully cut
the skin from Hazerty's amputated
limb and placed it on Stockder's body
in places where his own flesh had been
burned and refused to heaL Thus by a
strange process will the traveling sales
man soon be able to go about his bust
ness, while the La Grande logger will
stump about, finding some compensa
tion for his loss in the fact that the
leg, useless to him, waa the means of
saving another's life.
WHITE GIRLS WED CHINESE
High School Students Victims of
Opium Habit at Victoria."
VICTORIA, B. C. July -. Special.)
Surprising disclosures have resulted
from an investigation as to th number
of Intermarriages between Chinese and
whites in British Columbia, these mar
riages being found to total not less than
ID for the entire Dominion. Many of the
white women are being held as slaves to
Chinese masters in the cities of Victoria,
Vancouver and Nelson. Most of these
women are inmates of the tenderloin di
tricts, and in Victoria alone the police
are taking action in at separate cases.
It is also disclosed that many young
girls, chiefly high school girls, whose ages
range from IS to 26 years, habitually
frequent Chinatown as private teachers
of Chinamen in their shops or private
rooms. In several cases these girls are
known to have contracted the opium hab
it. Drastic remedial measures are being
pressed by the Women's Protective Asso
ciation.
AMERICA TO DEMAND HALF
Will Put Chinese Loan Question Up
to Pekin Government.
PARIS, July 19. The continental
bankers who asked for an adjournment
of the meetings of the international
bankers so as to enable them to con
sult with their respective governments
have delayed the answer so long that
there seems a strong possibility of the
negotiations for American participa
tion in the Hankow-Szechuen loan of
127.500.000 falling through.
Should this prove the case, America,
It is understood here, will take up the
matter with the Pekln government and
nsist that American bankers be given
halt share of the loan. Special dls
patches from Pekin describe English
opinion there as approving American
action in declining to accept a quarter
share.

to take a dinner with him on Wednesday
night at the White House. It is as
sumed that the President expects to be
ready to report progress in getting votes
for fhe abolition or reduction of dutiea
on raw materials.
When Speaker Cannon left Senator Aid-
rich's room tonight, he said the conferees
must frame the programme for passing

indication of a lack of understanding be

Effort of Executive to Enforce Cur
few Law Results in Case for
Juvenile Court to Try.
Because Charles Rowley, of Troutdale,
Interfered when Mayor Fox ordered Miss
Irene Latourelle to go home, Rowley is
said to have engaged In a rough-and
tumble fight with the Mayor, and to
have threatened to kill him. Both Row
ley and the girl have been cited to ap
pear in Juvenile Court.
It appears that Rowley, who is but 17
years old, went out walking several
nights ago with Miss Latourelle, who Is
15 years old. When they encountered
Fox, and he ordered the girl home, Row
ley took exception to his remarks, and
proceeded to demonstrate his dislike for
the Mayor In no uncertain manner.
Then Mayor Fox sent his son to serve
citations on Rowley and his mother, Mrs.
-Mary Rowley. Rowley went to Chief
Probation Officer Teuscher, of the Juve
nile Court, with the complaint that the
papers were not properly served on him
and with the implied belief that he could
with impunity, disregard them. Mr.
Teuscher proceeded to serve the papers
himself, that there might be no question
about the matter.
NEW TR0UBLE FOR TAFT
Women Are Interested In Whisky
Case These Days.
WASHINGTON, July 19. By reason of
the brief from the lawyers, and letters
from women whose attent'on had been di
rected to the fight over "what Is whisky,
President Taft is forced to remember the
subject, even when wrestling with the
tariff.
Purity and quality in "wet goods" are
what the women who are writing the
President want. They do not set them
selves up, as a rule, as consumers of the
commodity, nor are they prepared to sub
scribe to the sentiment that all whisky
is good.
The crusade of the women was started
by Mrs. Beulah Amldon, chairman of the
food sanitation committee of the Gen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs of the
United States. She sent circulars to
every woman's club In the country asking
that the members write the President.
If there is any truth in the rumor, most
of them have done so. Tomorrow is
the time limit set by the President for the
whisky men to file their briefs in the
case.

of the M. F. Plant, which arrived to

sible that the wreck is that of one of

TAUNT FOR PENNSYLVANIAN
Bis State's Virtue Compared With
Illinois' Attempt to Prevent
Further Payment of Heney
Is Defeated.
WASHINGTON, July 19. (Special.)
A pretty weir planned, but unsuccessful,
attack was made today on Francis J.
Heney by several Congressmen, who
aimed to prevent any part of the defi
ciency spproprlation of the Department
of Justice from being used in paying
Mr. Heney additional money for hlf.
work in the iani fraud and other Gov
ernment cases. Chairman Tawney, of
the appropriations committee, said that
Mr. Heney had given a receipt in full
for his work and that afterward he had
been paid $5000.
Cox of Indiana wished to know if the
deficiency was caused by the payments
made to Mr. Heney.
"No," replied Tawney.
"Can you tell us," asked Murphy,
how much money wag paid Mr. Heney
during the last fiscal year, and what
he did for it?"
"He received 123,000 and performed
no service for the Government what
ever during that year," said Tawney,
Subsequently Tawney said:
Did Nothing for Three Years.
"As a matter of fact, Mr. Heney has
not performed any active service for
the last three years. He was appoint
ed November 7, 1903, and his active
service continued for about three years.
for which he received in all 69,000."
He stated, however, that Mr. Heney's
salary -had nothing to do with the
127,000 deficiency for the Department
of Justice, for which provision is made
in the urgency deficiency bllL Mr.
Heney, he said, had received in all from
the Government ?69,000.
Used to Prosecute Trusts.
Asked by Cox of Indiana if any of
this deficiency was due to the employ
ment of special counsel to prosecute
any trust, Tawney, ' answering in the
affirmative, said the Suit against the
tobacco trust had occasioned some of it.
