WILL ilTilNEL
PILOTS TO MARE AN'N'CAIi EX
AMINATION" OF RIVER.
Soundings to Be Made Next Week,
and Charts Based on Re
sults of Work,
i
The annual survey of the Willamette
and Columbia Rivers between Portland
and Astoria, for the purpose of charting
for their own use the shoal spots in the
channel, will be undertaken by the
Columbia River pilots next week.
The survey will probably be begun
next Monday. The present season is the
most slack time of the year for the
pilots and If press of business does not
prevent a party of them will leave Port
land then on one of the Port of Port
land's boats to undertake ths work. If
the Port cannot lend them a boat, some
other steamer will be secured. To com
plete the survey will take about a week.
Among the pilots who are likely to make
the trip are Captain Archie Pease. Cap
tain Harry Emkln and Captain W. H.
Patterson.
The pilots will go carefully over every
part of the channel where shoals usually
form following the June freshet. For
most of the distance between this city and
Astoria the river is quite free from these
obstructions, it Is said, this year, but at
a number of points sand bars have been
reported. The Portland dredge Is now
working on such a shoal near the mouth
of the Willamette.

Inquiry Will Not Fix Guilt of
Killing on Any of Of-.
ficers.
MAY CLEAR HIM OF SUICIDE
Family Will Be Satisfied With Re

Body In Holy Ground.
Court-Martial Likely;
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 12. The dispatch of a staff
correspondent .at Annapolis to the Wash
ington Star today says:
The defendant parties are thoroughly
satisfied with the situation. They feel
that no evidence whatever tending to
show that anybody but Sutton did the
shooting has been laid before the court.
While they are sure, most of them, that
Sutton Intended to kill himsalf, they
frankly admit the testimony . shows rea
sonable doubt of such Intention on his
part. Whether Sutton killed himself In
tentionally or while attempting to shoot
one of the men holding him down, or to
shoot Adams, standing behind him, can
not be determined.
"That Mrs. Sutton would be content
with the wiping out of the suicide theory
became apparent, while Mrs. Parker was
on the stand, by questions asked her by
Mr. Travis. He dwelt at length upon the
religious phases of the case and the fact
that Sutton's body must lie forever out
of consecrated ground as long as ths
stigma, of suicide rested upon his memory.
Let a competent court decide that Sutton
was not a suicide and suicide Is here
defined as Intentional self-destruction
and his family may remove his remains
from Arlington and place them In their
family lot in Portland. Mrs. Sutton may
take up the thread of her life secure In
the knowledge, according to her faith,
that her son's soul is not forever lost,
as she now believes the soul of every
suicide must be.
6CTTON EVIDENCE IS ALL IV
Attorneys Will Sum Tp and Then
Board Will Make Report.
ANNAPOLIS. Md., Aug. 13. The court
of inquiry that ii investigating the death
of Lieutenant James N. Sutton on Octo
ber 13, 1907, finished the taking of testi
mony today, .it was stated by counsel
that arguments would bo completed to
morrow. The court will then prepare its
report and forward It to the Navy De
partment. Major Leonard, Jncge-Advocate, fur
nished a surprise today when he stated
that he would make no opening address
in behalf of the Government unless some
thing should be said by the other attor
neys that would .require explanation or
reply.
The cross-examination of Dr. E. M.
Ehaeffer, of Washington, called as an ex
pert in gunshot wounds, was finished to
day. Hypothetical questions figured largely
In his examinations by Mr. Blrney, coun
sel to Lieutenant Adams. Although
Adams was again called upon to illustrate
the movements of Sutton as he lay pros
trate on the ground on the fatal night.
Dr. Shaeffer's conclusion was that under
the conditions given Lieutenant Sutton
could not have shot himself.

WIFE SUES DEAD
ODD MISTAKE MADE BY CALI
FORNIA WOMAN.
Names First Husband as Defendant,
in Divorce Salt When She
Means Second.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12. William M.
Melton, six years dead, was sued for di
vorce by his former wife through a mis
take that has no parallel in the history of
the Superior Court of this state. The mis
take was discovered today by the plain
tiff when she appeared to take a Judg
ment by default.
Some months ago Mrs. Clymens Roileri
went to her attorney and charged her
husband with Idleness and neglect. Inad
vertently she referred to herself as Mrs.
William M. Melton, and the defendant
was so named in the complaint subse
quently filed. But Mr. Melton, the wo
man's first husband, was dead, and in
reciting her wrongs and charges she had
In mind Willam L. Roileri, her second
husband. The complaint showed the date
of the second marriage in conjunction
with the name of her first husband.
Mrs. Roller Is now obliged to file a new
complaint and await the usual terra for a
default Judgment.
SWEETS ARE NECESSARY
But they should be of absolute purity.
Pearce's candles are of guaranteed pur
ity. Royal Bakery, Wash, and Park.
Court-Ma rtlal May Follow.
"What the result of the Inquiry will be
Is a matter of pure conjecture. It la not
impossible that a court-martial will fol
low and that the several officers Involved
will have to answer to charges of various
sorts. That they will be held guiltless
of the death of Sutton at most goes
without saying, in the light of the testi
mony offered in court. But they may
be caught up for other offenses to which
they confessed."
