ACCUSED OF PER Jury.
Five More Warrants Are Issued In
the Michigan Military
Scandal.

Lansing, Mich, June 9.-Warrants
charging Eli r. Sutton, of Detroit, John
r. Hunter, j. w. Woodwork, H. y.
Kauffer and S. n Bickerstaff, of Kala-
mazoo, with perjury in connection with
the state military scandal were sworn
to Saturday and filed with Justice
Pinckney. The warrants will be served
to-day. Sutton is charged with per-
jury at his own trial in May, 1900, and
the others with perjury before the
grand jury which investigated
the deal. The complaint against
Sutton is signed by Attorney
General Oren, and the others
bear the signature of Prosecuting At
torney futile. In the Sutton case
much of the testimony OF which SUIT
ton based his defense is set forth. SUIT
ton, it will be recalled, took the stand
in his own behalf, and denied all con-
nection with the military deal. With
drawals and additions to his bank ac-
counts, which were almost identical
with those of Marsh and White, were
accounted for in a manner that was
hard to comprehend. He denied being
at certain places at certain times,
which accorded with the theory of the
prosecution. Whites testimony given
at the hearing on the petition for dis
barment of E. S. Roos, one of the Hen
derson-Ames company directors, who,
according to the allegations in that
proceeding, also appeared before the
grand jury and gave perjured testi-
mony, supported in detail the theory
on which Prosecutor futile attempted
to secure a conviction in the Sutton
case. Bickerstaff was the head of one
of the departments of the Henderson
Ames company, and, according to his
own testimony in the Marsh and SUIT
ton cases, arranged many of the de-
tails of the transaction between the
company and military officers.

STEAMERS COLLIDE.
Whaleback Thomas Wilson Sunk mt
DuIuth-Nine of Her Crew
Are Drowned.

Duluth, Mimi, June 9.-The whale
back steamer Thomas Wilson, Capt.
Cameron, master, was cut almost in
two by the steamer George G. Hadley,
Capt. Fitzgerald, master, half mile
south of the Duluth canal Saturday
and nine men went down. They were
mostly men of the night crew who had
not time to get out of their hunks be-
fore the vessel went to the bottom.
The Wilson was coming toward the
canal and the Hadley going out, both
loaded. just before reaching the canal
and when about opposite the Wilson,
the Hadley was given orders by tug
to go to Superior. Immediately she
sheered off for the Superior entry and
crashed directly into the Wilson.
The Wilson went down so quickly
that it did not seem possible to save a
life. One moment the two boats were
blowing through the water 200 yards
apart, the next the crew of the Wilson
could be seen throwing off their cloth
ing and jumping into the water. One
man on the Wilson seemed to have
more presence of mind than all the
rest. He threw life preservers to them
that jumped in the cold water without
thinking and he certainly saved some
lives. The crew of the Hadley also
threw preservers to the men strug-
Cling in the water.
Immediately after the collision the
Wilson pitched forward and went
down. AS she plunged, the crew that
was still undressing rushed to the
stern, jumping overheard as fast as
they could free themselves from their
clothing. The Wilson did not live a
minute after the collision. During the
short time she was on top of the water
she seemed to be supported entirely by
the Hadley's prov, which was sticking
in through her plates.
The plunge of the Wilson released
the Hadley and the latter boat swung
back with tremendous jerk. AS the
whaleback went benath the water she
spouted like a submarine explosion
from the compression of air in her.
. The Hadley would not have made the
shore had it not been for the tugs.
and that probably means that so
many more lives were saved. The
life-saving crew did quick and relia-
BILE service picking up the men in the
water. The Hadley had a hard run
for shore and did not win the race
by any too great margin, for mo-
ment after her bow went on the bot
tom just south of the ship canal pier
her stern began to settle and final
ly went down with a spouting of WA
ter similar to that which marked the
sinking of the Wilson, though not 10
the extent that the water was thrown
up on the whaleback. AS the stern
settled down to the bottom the bow
lifted a little and the water engulfeti
the vessel from amidships to stern.
Fully half of the way in from the
scene of the accident to the point of
Bleaching the decks of the Hadley
were covered with water, and the
members of the crew that were COM
PEELED to stay by her took to the
upper works.
