Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence to The Press
ANNAPOLIS, Md, July 17.-Aft-
er Lieutenant James n. Sutton of
the navy had been found shot dead
In vacant lot here nearly two
years ago his sister, trembling
with anger, faced Lieutenant r. Z.
Adams of the marine corps. The
police had said Sutton was a sui
eide.
Shaking her finger in Adams
face the girl cried: you are the
man who killed my brother!'
Since then she has worked day
after day to prove Sutton was not
a suicide SO he could be buried in
Catholic cemetery.
Now Adams and a companion on
the night Sutton died, Lieutenant
Il. A. Osternan, have been brought
back from the Philippines. Adams
faces court martial and a criminal
court charge of murder.
Sutton was found dead with a
bullet hole in his head on the night
OF October 10. 1907.
He had been on an auto ride with
Adams and Osterman. Both said
that In their judgment Sutton had

The need for. closer relations
among all classes of labor and all
labor organizations is becoming
recognized more and more every
day by the membership of labor or
CARNATIONS generally. The result
is a growing membership Of central
unions throughout the country.
The action of the Brotherhoods
of Locomotive Engineers and Fire
men in sending delegates to the
Spokane Central Labor union is in
line with the get-together policy Of
labor in general.
The railway brotherhoods have
steadfastly stood aloof from affilia-
ton with other labor organizations,
and the new departure in joining
hands with other labor bodies has
created no little favorable comment
among workingmen in general.
In the state of Minnesota the
railway men have decided to act
in conjunction with the other labor
organizations along political lines,
which to a great etent is in keep
ing with the action of the local
railway men.

The girl protested. cali right"
said Christ. I'VE will go back
home" And he turned round and
drove back.
This was all there was to the
marriage.
Christ wasn't much different
to look at-from hundreds and
thousands of emigrants when he
landed in this country in 1853. He
got work at pittance, but saved
his money.
Then the war broke out and
Christ went to the front. No, not
as soldier. He joined the COM
missary department at SIS month
and picked up more from cooking
special dishes for the soldiers and
officers. When the war was over
, he had a comfortable pile.
Land was cheap then, and Christ
! figured that as the best investment
/ for his money. He has always
stuck to land buying ever since.
Christ once tried living in a
100000 mansion he owns in an ex-
elusive suburb. But he didn't like
it, and went back to his shack.
Christ's clothes are mean and
patched, his demeanor quiet and
backward.
His relatives consist of brother
and sister and their children, who
will inherit his money.

But bank presidents and lawyers
