NO SURPRISE IN THE SUTTON
CASE,

Anyone who has been following mo
second investigation into the death
of Lieutenant Sutton, the young ma
rine officer who was mysteriously shot
at Annapolis, will find It hard to be-
lieye that Attorney Davis, counsel TOT
Mrs. Sutton, will retire from the case
simply because the judge advocate
of the inquiry has placed the dead
bcy's mother In the position of an ac-
cuser in murder trial. Whatever
ray lSe the technical position In
which the military court places Mrs.
Sutton, her attitude actually under
got 8 no change, and her counsei
seems to be splitting hairs when he
talks of withdrawing because he does
not care to be the prosecutor in
criminal proceeding.
Mrs. Sutton is trying TO clear the
name of her dad son from the odium
Of suicide. She always has been con-
fdent in the belief tna; the boy was
killed by one of. his brother officers
with whom he was fighting at the
time a pistol ball entered his head and
Inflicted fatal wound. The fact that
she charged this in letter 10 the
secretary of the navy at the time she
was making appeals to the department
for sscond inquiry is not surprising.
At the time young Sutton was shot,
according to the testimony Of all the
witnesses. he was engaged in a fight
With several othr marine officers.
eomehody ired the shot that killed
Sutton. and If Sutton himself did not
do Il is must have been done by one
Of the men with whom he was strug
Cling. Therefore when Mrs. Sutton
ptcadcd with the navy department 70
snake another investigation. on the
around that il all testimony should
be heard 1t would be demonstrated
that her boy did not commit suicide,
she practically fled murder charge
against one oil the several officers who
were fighting her son when be was
killed. She made no specific charge.
but In saying that her son did not
shoot himself. she accused one OF the
ofnccrs OF killing him just as clearly
rs sht could have done in the letter
10 the navy department which was
sprung BY the judge advocate as q
Surprise during the inquiry Tuesday.
Attorney Davis when ne became
counsel for Mrs. Sutton knew as well
or better than anyone else what the
contention q bis client meant. lie
knew tia, al kinds Of Developments
In ali probaeiiity would follow the be-
ksnuing Of second investigation. and

that just what has happened would

Knowing all thsse things. Attorney
Davis could not have been surprised

Call In Democrats Today.
It was announced officially that the
Democratic members OF the confer
ence committee would be called in
session tomorrow. In view Of Presi-
dent Taft's utterance senate and
house leaders were predicting tonight
that the conference rates ON gloves
and lumber would not prove salts
factory TO him.
II required a roll call to fix the
rates on lumber which are as follows:
Lumber, rough $3.50 1000 feet.
house rate was 81 and the senate rate
$3.50. The senate differentials were
adopted. Gloves were made dutiable
at rates considerably in advance OF
the duties fixed by the senate bill
which for the most part were the
same as the Dingley rates.
Busiest Session Yet.
Unqlestionably the session today
was the husiest of three weeks the bill
has been In conference. Dozens OF
senators have sought audiences and
were received 10y the senate members
of the committee and there called al
so many M mbers OF the house, IN
Guiding the committee representing
the anti-free- materials insur-
gents.
In the corridors swarmed agents
of special interests who SEE med TO
realize TINT the crucial period of the
conference had arrived.
Senators Elkins and Scott, of West
Virginia, and Clark, of Wyoming. en-
deavored to get the conferees to make
the rate of Is cents a ton on coal ap-
ply to the short ton. which it Is slid.
would make difference of about flve
cents "A ton and operate to advance
to the rate to the equivalent OF 80
cents. The senators interested in get
ting all the protection possible for
coal were not successful in their mis-
sion.
Increase on Paper.
Just before the c.ose of the SeS-
sion the rate on print paper was fix
ed at 1915 a ton This is only p
cents less than the senate rate and
Sl.75 more than the house rate. 1t
is s225 ton less than the existing
rate.
There was some discussion today OF
the iron ore question. Senator Bur
rows made an effort to get the rate
fixed at 20 cents instead of 10 cents
Il ten.
Hides were left on the free list,
contingent o.on the adoption of the
rule in the house marking the action
OF the conferess in going below the
htuse rates in fixing the rates on
le1ther. So
II the report. is laid before the
house on Friday according to present
program 1t viii be printed and taken
up on Saturday.
II Is not believed that the hoase will
discuss more than one day sln this
case the house may begin with the
report on Monday.

Fielder Jones
Seeks to Buy
Big Ball Club
Former Manager of Chicago
Americans Offers TO Purchase
Boston National Club

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Negotiations
are pending. it is announced here,
whereby Fielder Jones. former man
ager of the Chicago American league
baseball club, who retired from the
game last fall to go into the lumber
business in Oregon. is likely to figure
as the manager and the part owner
next season of one of three major
league clubs. Jones. who is credited
west, has made definite offer for the
purchase of the Boston National league
club, and it is understood here that the
only obstacle in the way of his pro-
curing proprietorship is that the COM
bined American league clubs would pro-
test his allegiance with the rival or
ganization.
Jones is said to have an option on a
controlling interest in the ST. Louis
American league club. 1t is known
that his close personal friend, Robert
L. Hedges, president of the club, has
assume management of the St. Louis
team.
In recognizing the Washington
American league club, which involves
the release of Manager Cantillon,
President Ban Johnson is reported to
be anxious to have Jones assume the
control of that team at big salary
and with a slice of stock in part pay
ment
The Washington club is said to be
ready to close with Jones at once, al
lowing him to name his own terms
Meanwhile Jones is still the property
of the Chicago American league club,
having been placed on the reserve list
and can not sign as player with any
other club in organized baseball. 1t is
believed to be quite certain that Chi
cago will not permit Jones to assoc
ciate with any other club without ask
ing big money for his release.
