an, one of the charter members of Glen
wood lodge at its institution % years
ago, arose, and in a few well chosen
remarks of reminiscent nature, pre-
sented on behalf of Glenwood lodge No.
So veteran jewel to Past Grand Louis
Schwarz, the only other charter mem
ber of the lodge now living, Mr..
Schwarz having been member of the
order two years before the institution
of this lodge. In his remarks Judge
Noonan paid high compliment to the
fidelity, earnestness and loyalty of Mr..
Schwarz in his lodge work, and his SEN
timents were highly endorsed by every
member present. This jewel is one that
is sanctioned by the sovereign grand
lodge and is given only to those who
have served 25 years in uninterrupted
membership in the order.
Mr.. Schwarz responded with somo
feeling, declaring that he would prize
the beautiful jewel more highly than
anything in his possession.
During a short recess during which
Mr.. Schwarz was the recipient of num-
erous congratulations the floor was
cleared, and those who enjoyed dancing
indulged in the sport until a fA.e boar,
when splendid banquet was served,
which was greatly enjoyed by all.
This event marks an era in the his
tory of Glenwood lodge, and all agree
that the evening was most delightfully."-
and profitably spent.

that I had most freely acquainted the
judge advocate with my views of the
case and had caused the summoning Of
Private Kennedy, Sergt. Todd, Sergt
Maj. Hubert and the laundryman Rus

the judge advocate was fully informed
And when at rhc conclusion of his re-
marks rose to correct inisapprehen-
sion Of the Judge advocate as to an allu-

close my lips by claiming that his re-
marks had ended the hearing.
.sPlain Dereliction Of Duty
And the Judge advocates request to
be excused from participation in the de-
liberations of the court. which request
was granted, involved what ! must con-
slider q plain dereliction of duty. I laid
before the court two propositions of law.
one respecting the quality and extent Of
evidence necessary to a verdict of suicide
and the other respecting the conditions
under which a phenomenal explanation of
a given situation-in this case the nature
of Lieut.. Sutton's wound-could be ac-
cepted. It was plainly the judge advo-
Gates duty to confirm these propositions
to the court. and had he done so and the
court needed them. 1t would have been alb
soluteiy obliged to exclude the hypothesis
OF suicide. and almost as certainly to ex-
clude the hypothesis OF wound self-in-
flicted In any manner as the explanation
OF the cause OF Lieut.. Sutton's death.
In conclusion. beg to say that what
is here stated is on my exclusive re-

she had no personal knowledge or first

upon the stand and. without the slightest
intimation to me Of his purpose, offered
her a letter Of February 8, 1909, on the

AS In well known, protested to the
Navy Department against this action, and
was informed that 1t made no practical
change In the situation. In the light only
OF which assurance ] decided to continue
my relations to the case.
The court suspended its sessions from
July ~ to August 3. which was Thurs
day. On the afternoon OF that day 1t
was intimated to me by one of the news
paper correspondents In attendance that
another surprise was awaiting me. the
nature OF which was enormously surmised
the close OF the testimony; and during
the recess on the following day friday
was told by one who had been In the
audience that a note had been passed
around in the audience indicating an oc-
currence OF interest to take place In the
afternoon. In the afternoon the judge
advocate again put Mrs. Sutton upon the
stand. and produced before her the let
teys which she had written to Echwartz.
on his assurance that they would be
confdeutially received and treated. and

Of the Navy Department. but were de.

The published report that Col. Charles
A. Doyen of the Marine Corps. in COM
mand of the marine barracks at An
napolis, is to be transferred TO another
post as result of the findings of the
Sutton court of inquiry has not even been
considered by the naval authorities here
The court of inquiry In the Sutton case,
and particularly Commander Hood, presi-
dent of the court. severely criticised the
lack of discipline in the corps at An
napolis, and cited a number of instances
where the punishment inflicted for minor
violations OF the regulations and for
graver offenses were Inadequate.
Gen. Elliott. commandant Of the Marine
Corps. complained to Col. Doyen that the
suspension Of Lieut.. Sutton for ten days
on one occasion for shooting up the
camp was altogether disproportionate to
the offense committed.
On the whole 1t is doubted whether Col.
Doyen has fully and on all occasions met
the Views of his superior officers in the
matter of discipline among the younger
officers Of the corps at Annapolis. Never
theless, SO far as can be learned. there
Is no present disposition on the part Of
Acting Secretary Winthrop or Gen. EIli-
oft to transfer Col Doyen to another sta
tion because of anything that has grown
out OF the Sutton tragedy.

garded as pernanency in any station
which they may hold and. while In the

It Is stated that there are several
sick persons In the house and the con-
duct OF the young man annoyed them.
The police say he was arrested several
days ago for assault and fined $40 In the
Police Court. No objection was offered
by Rosenquist to a request that he
accompany the policeman TO the station,
but when an effort was made to search
him he raved and caused considerable
trouble.

EDITOR NOT THE AUTHOR.
While. Assuming to Be Responsible,
Regrets Reflection on Mr.. Loeb.

Samuel De Nedrey. editor of the Trades
Unionist, and secretary of the Central
Labor Union, whose attention was rat
Gently called to an article in his paper
by William Loeb. jr.. who was secretary
to President Roosevelt, the claim being
| that the article reflected on Mr.. Loeb,
strives to make his position clear in an
editorial which appeared today in the
currentsissue of the Trades Untonist. Mr..
De Nedrey says:
I'm the issue of the Trades Unionist of
August there appeared an article in
which it was stated that Mr.. William
Loeb. jr.. collector for the New York

production was to place Mrs. Sutton upon
the defensive.
Mrs. Sutton's Double Role.
The result, then, is that Mrs. Sutton,
who was originally only a party to ne
inquiry. was transformed, first into the
complainant before the court, and, next,
into the defendant against whom the
energies Of those interested In the ac-
cused officers were thenceforth directed.
It is unnecessary for me to characterize
the action OF the judge advocate in the
premises.
Finally, when the presentation Of the
testimony was closed, the judge advocate
arose to address the court. when l asked
him to desist for the moment, as I had
a suggestion which desired to make to
him. and. In turn, to the court, and he
replied that he was on the point OF MAX
ing suggestion. and proceeded with his
opening statement. to the effect that he
would have nothing to say unless 1t
should be called forth by something in
the summing up of other counsel.
After the summing UP, first by myself
and then by MT. Btrney. the Judge advo.
cate made hts concluding remarks. in the
course Of which he made the astounding
statement that where's the parties de-
fendant Cwhom. with unconscious irony,
he described as the parties I came here
presumably to prosecute'o had called to
his attention facts that he knew not OF,
he had yet to hear counsel for complain

which often happens TO any paper. even
as well regulated as the Trades Unionist.
Investigation proves Ii was not founded
on fact, and the article was a mistake.
The Trades Unionist has no quarrel with
Mr.. Loeb. and has said some pleasant
things about him In the past As col
lector for the port of New York Mr..
Loeb is making good and the Trades

extremely doubtful If in that connection
any cognizance will be taken of the In
cidents of the Sutton tragedy. These
statements are made on the authority OF
Acting Secretary Winthrop and Gen. Ell
lott who had a brief conference on the
matter at the Navy Department this
morning.

Courts Opinion Gratuitous.

I presented the case to the court ac-
cordingiy. and dealt exclusively with the
testimony which had been delivered be-
fore the court, and upon that testimony
sought the judgment for which I con-
tended, namely, that Lieut.. Sutton did
not die by his own hand, whether inten-
tionaily or accidentally, and the courts
opinion Immediately under consideration
was and is wholly gratuitous.
And this leads directly to a considera-
ton OF what I have characterized as the
judge advocates handling Of the case
The cour, convened Monday. the 10th of
July. Saturday. the 18th OF July. In a
very frank interview with me at my Of
fee, the judge advocate stated it to be
his purpose to make the inquiry full and
impartial. let the consequences be what
they might. and. to use his own express
sion. "No matter whose head may be
hft," and the interview terminated by our
parting with a full understanding that We
would cndeavor to be mutually helpful In
finding the truth Of the case, and that
alone.
with the exception Of Saturday and SUM-
day. July "a, and %, the court sat con-
tinuously until July n. and during that
ingiy In perfect harmony. and In an inter-
view had with him one evening. on his
own invitation. and protracted until long
after midnight, We freely exchanged views
about the case. and gave him clear In
timation Of the direction In which the
testimony was leading me. and. among
other things. ! acquainted him with the
material portions OF certain anonymous
letters which Mrs. Sutton had received.
and expressed the hope that their writer's
might be forthcoming before the inquiry
should close.
Until July q had no indication Of any
kind Whatsoever Of any change In the atti-
tude or the Judge advocate. but on that

The newspaper business is perhaps
as hard as any business there is, to
make a success of. The records tell
that there are fewer successes in this
than any of the lines of business under
takings, according to the number en-
gaging in different ventures. Yet there
are more people in the world who think
themselves capable of running news
paper successfully, than any other busi-
ness. They forget that the position re-
luires. first. adaptability, then almost
a lifetime training, for the newspaper
man to be success, should know the
printers trade and every detail belong
ing to the business. Yet it often hap
pens that man will jump into the
business who knows absolutely nothing
about any part of it. And this may be
one cause for the large number of
newspaper failures.
