VERDICT MAY BE "ACCIDENT.'
Court of Inquiry May Not Find SUIT
son Committed Suicide.

The suggestion is made by naval officers
today that possibly the verdict of suicide
as cause of the death of Lieut.. Sutton
may not be reached by the new court of
inquiry, even though no evidence tend
ing to controvert that introduced in the
original inquiry is produced.
This is based the assumption that
possibly Lieut.. Sutton was attempting to
shoot at a brother officer when he in
ficted on himself the wound that caused
his death, and that his brother officers
erred as to his intent. even though their
description of his movements was correct
Contradicting Testimony.
| From present indications there will be
much conflicting testimony at the new
| hearing, although certain officers are
unanimous in saying the vital issue Will
not be affected and that it will be clear
to all that Sutton fired the shot which
ended his life. Regarding details of the
case, however. there appears TO be many
| contradictions, due partly to the fact
that the tragedy occurred nearly two
| years ago.and partly TO other causes.
! How many shots were fired on the
night Sutton was killed. where the Off
| GERS stood and what they said. together
| with what tranSpired prior to the trdg-
! edy, has never been clearly established
All the officers concerned, however
agreed that Sutton fired the last shot
and that Lieut.. Willing took the revolver
! from him within d few seconds after
| the shot was fired. The previous testi-
mony covering that point conceded with
| statements made by the officers to the
| authorities ut the barracks immediate
| " after the shooting.
| Miss Stewart Not Needed.
1t is now learned that before the origi-
nal inquiry Miss Mary Stewart of Pitts
! burg was visited by a representative
of the Navy Department. and that she
| told frankly all she knew that might
| have any bearing on the case. 1t was
| so little that Miss Stewart was not re-
ouested to appear as a witness. Wheth-
! er she will appear at the new hearing
| depends entirely on the desires of the
| attornevs Of Mrs Sutton and her own
acquiescence.
! II is understood that the Navy Depart
oent has informed Mrs. Sutton that the
| court will hear any witnesses--navai or
| lciyilian-uhose evidence she wishes pre-

| Februarv 10 1909. the court can compel
the attendance of civilian witnesses
which was not possible al the original

From the Medical Journal
Separate schools for tubercular children

from tuberculosis cannot be admitted into

Miss Stewart showed a mysterious
dread lest the interview she was giving

He paused again and saw the blood
surge up into the girls face. Her
breath came In quick gasps. but she
turned toward him with look that
was partly inquiry. partly surprise and
some doubt. but there was no repug-
nance. That encouraged him to take
up his narrative where he had SO abb

Cynthy said nothing, but she drew

drawn, and her face was lighted with
a smile that even Lem saw was the
outward expression OF inward Joy. He
drew her into his arms. and she did

traces OF the same air of fragility that
had characterized her as child and
seemed to set her apart from the other

was not an indication OF weak health,
but was due rather TO u certain trans
parency OF skin which neither sun nor
wind seemed to affect. He felt just as

We are pretty good na- tured folk here, and there are always some people to applaud that particular piece of bunting when it is shown on the stage, which we do not suppose would be conspicuously the case if the Union Jack were shown on stage at, say, Seattle. It has been suggested that when it comes to flag-waving in Victoria, the British flag is the pro- per one to use. It has also been point ed out that Mir.

Every now and then one reads an account of supreme stiffness exhibited on the part of some people of the United States over the display of the Union Jack. In this country we really have no very great feeling about the flying of any particular combination of bunting. If man wants to hoist the Stars and Stripes, or the French en- sign, or the sunburst of Japan, or any thing else, nobody cares. That's one of the advantages of living in free country. But one little matter has been brought to the attention of the Colon ist in regard to which little change would be advisable. It is the habit of vaudeville and sometimes of thea trlcal performers of waving the United States flag as though it were the na- rional emblem of this country, or at least something so surpremely great that all mankind ought to thrill at the

A very artistic and comprehensive display of the minerals and woods of the Ketchikan district is being ar ranged in the cabinet on the wharf of the Ketchikan steamship company.
 A committee consisting of Messrs. Dale Hunt, Jas. Sayles and Tracy James of the Arctic Broterhood and D. Smith Harris of the Chamber of Commerce are arranging the display in an attractive fashion and are hav- ing the cabinet repainted.
 The mineral exhibit is to be labeled on polished tablets of wood taken from the different varieties that grow in this vicinity.
 They desire samples of minerals, woods, marble and petritied specimens to make up the display, and the min- CTS and prospectors are urgently re- quested to bring in anything that can be used to make the cabinet interes- ting.
