CHAUFFEUR TELLS STORY.
Gives Remarkable Account of
Events Preceding Sutton's Death.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. July l9-William /.
Owens, the chauffeur who drove Second
Lieut.. James n. Sutton Of the Marine
Corps and his three companion officers
from the Carvel Hall Hotel to a place
near the marine camp where, half an
hour later. Sutton was found shot dead,
told a remarkable story yesterday, which
promises to clear up, when he repeats ii
before the second inquiry into the tragedy
which opens at the Naval Academy to-
day. many OF the happenings just prior
to the shooting.
Hired by Sutton.
Sutton had hired me to take him out
to the camp in my automobile from Car

when he came out OF the hotel Lieut.. ..

Mr.. Davis Statement.

Speaking for Mrs Sutton and Mrs. Par
ser, Mr.. Davis said:
I'VE want 1t plainly understood that
We are not seeking to fasten the guilt Of
the death OF Mr.. Sutton upon any indi-
vidual We are profoundly convinced
that Sutton did not commit suicide, and
this we expect to show at the inquiry.
I'VE are appearing at court through
the courtesy OF the Navy. Department
TO throw light on the affair. We are not
criticising the court which made the
original inquiry and returned a verdict
Of suicide. That court simply did not
extend Its inquiry as far az tine second
inquiry will be extended"
The case of the death of Lieut. Sutton

Is whether he killed himself on the

Late Fourth of July Mentions.

There were many finely decorated
store windows In this city during
the Fourth, among those deserving
of special mention were the two win
dows of the Coron-Booth Hardware
company, In the north window was
a fine collection Of all kinds of tools
used in the building trade. These
were displayed in most artistic
manner and decorated with red,
white and blue The other window
contained a display of builders
hardware Of almost every descrip-
tion. Here the decorations were also
very fine. The windows attracted
much attention.
The windows of the Sugar Pine
store, Messrs Kinney & Truax, were
decorated with fine goods in all lines
contained in the dry goods depart-
ment. The arrangement of SAMPLES
was artistic and really beautiful.
The big store windows of r. L.
Coe & Company presented very
line appearance, 1t was very plain
that the artist had been there and II
was equally plain that a fine picture
had been turned out.
The Sabin drug store window con-
tanned a new feature entirely. In II
was a glass fountain containing pure
water from which appeared TO flow
In one bottle red liquid, another
white and In third blue. It was
display decidedly unique.

Hughes Object Of solicitudc.

II is interesting to note that GER
tain big politicians are anxious to
Insure a place on the supreme bench
for Governor Hughes so as to have It
ready for him whom his term of Of.
flee as governor expires. They have
mentioned this matter to the presl.
dent and they think he Is favorably
inclined. The same men experienced
anxious sollclWde regarding The
president and Roosevelt made the
tender of o place 20 him. The mat
ter was discussed by the Taft family
generally and tho conclusion reached
was not to accept as Il might inter
fero with q presidential nomination.
This history IA so recent II may not
be fair 20 presume that the family
and close friends OF Governor
Hughes are likely TO see the object
In pushing his name for a place ON
the Supreme bench. There IL more
than one way TO skin a cat.

ont.noor Presidential Dinner.


President Taft must have learned
Of the popularity of the Southern
Oregon lawn dinners and made up
his mind to pun off one Of these af-
fairs at the White House. The news
papers tell us that the president gave
dinner few days ago to 40 peo-
pie on the White House grounds, be-
tween the mansion proper and the
Executive office. The affair was a
great success and 1t will undoubtedly
result in making outdoor dinners
popular all over the east. In South
ern Oregon, and especially In Jose
phlne county, the outdoor dinner has
long been popular and will likely
become more so in the future now
that President Taft has introduced
it for large gatherings at the White
House. Out door sleeping and out
door eating go together and both
Will become popular over the whole
country. In the history Of presi-
Dental dinners this is the first 10 be
given out Of doors. IL is learned that
the presidents guests enjoyed thls
spread in the open air and are en-
thuslastic over this event.

A correspondent writes to ask how
to use phrethrum powder for the de-
struction Of flies, Directions will
be obtained when the powder Is pur-
chased. II Is largely used as an in
sectifuge, There Is a substitute fly
killer that Is probably better. The
London Lancet, a good authority,
says "The best eXtermlnating agent
Is n weak solution OF formaldehyde
In water (say two teaspoonfuls to the
pinD, and this experience has been
confirmed by others II would ap-
pear that flies are attracted by a
weak solution of formaldehyde,
which they drink. Some die In the
water others get as far only as the
immediate vicinity OF the plate OF
water, but all ultimately succumb,
and where they occur in large num-
bers, hundreds may be swept from
the floor II Is consoling to know
that by this method the flies have
died under dose OF fluid which
Is fatal to disease organisms, fluid
also which is inoffensive and for
practical purposes nonpolsonous.
The method at once provides a
means of diminishing the scourge
and Of securing to some extent what
Is most desirable, the dslnfectlon Of
the slain"

The county board has advertised
for bids to tear down the old bridge
but so far there has been no bids re-
ceived. The job is evidently not a
desirable one. The subject was men
toned to President Easterday by the
Courier man on Tuesday and he said
he was sorry that no bids had been
received as the bridge should be
taken down without delay. He was
then asked why he did not make a
bid and he replied that he did not
like the job and if he undertook It
he would be obliged to charge $4,000

These are by far the best kind of
pads that can be secured. They are
put on by lacings and are so ar
ranged that they cannot slip. They
will mean a great Improvement in
