MEETS WITH PROMPT ACTION.
Appeal for Free Ice for Public
Drinking Fountains.

Yesterdays appeal issued by Commits
sioner Macfarland for donations to supply
ice for the public drinking fountains
shortly to be erected in several parts of
the city has met a prompt response.
Commissioner Mcfarland received this
afternoon a letter from the w. c. Il. u. of
the District of Columbia, stating that the
organization would be glad to furnish ice
for the drinking fountain on Pennsylvania
avenue between 18th and 14th streets
northwest.
1T gives me great pleasure to state, .
saws Mrs Emma s. Shelton, secretary
of the District Union, that the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union Of
the District Of Columbia will be glad
to furnish ice for the fountain to be
erected on the reservation on PennSyl-
vania avenue between 18th and 14th
streets Our organization is always glad
and willing, as far as possible, to help
every good work.
Commissioner Macfarland wore the
smile that won't come off when he read
this letter. and he was loud in his praise
of the offer.
w A. Mcfarland, superintendent of
the water department., sent an inspector
to investigate the complaints from the
fountain at 7th street and Pennsylvania
avenue, where the water was consumed
more rapidly than it could be cooled,
and steps will be taken to remedy condi-
tions at the fountain. If more ice is
needed, it is declared, it will be sup
piled.

HAULING DOWN OF GREEK FLAG
POWERS TO ACT OVER AT
FAIRS IN CRETE.
France Favors Inviting Germany
and Austria-Hungary to Join
in Negotiations.

PARIS, August Torrance is in favor
of inviting Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary to take part in the general settle
ment of the Cretan question.
The Greek flag, which was run up over
the fortress apd the Cretan military bar
racks at Canea, July -, the day after
the evacuation of the island by the in
ternational troops, was lowered today, as
a result of the protests of the four pro-
tecting powers.
ATHENS, August 10.-The Greek gov
eminent has handed to the Turkish min
lister a formal reply to the porte's note of
several days ago, which asked Greece to
express her disapproval of the annexation
agitation in Crete, and formally to de-
clare that she had no ambitions regard
ing the island.
The reply is lengthy document. 1t
protests formally against the complaints
contained in the Turkish note, and gives
instances OF Greeces constant endeavor
to maintain frank and friendly relations
with Turkey and to draw closer the bonds
uniting the two countries. 1t recalls
the enthusiasm with which the Greek
element in Turkey worked for the tri-
umph of the constitution there, and
points out that had Greece cherished the
designs attributed to her, she would
have tried to profit by the trials and diff
iicultes against which the new Turkish
government has been contending. In
stead, the note declares, Greece has done
and still wishes to do all in her power
for the appeasement of Turkey and for
peace.

ANNAPOLIS. Md, August 1O.-Mr. Biz

counsel for the defendant officers. sub
jected Mrs Sutton to firm, though gen.
tie cross examination yesterday after
noon after her letters TO Harry n. Swartz
were read Mrs Sutton admitted the au-
thorship of the letters and explained the
circumstances of her correspondence with
Swartz.
Mr. Birney in the course of the examina-
ton asked: You speak of the supernatural
appearance of your son. Was 1T In the
presence of a medium or clairvoyant?
Mrs. Sutton-It was not. 1t was in my
own home in broad daylight.
Mrs. Sutton denied the authorship of
interviews in newspapers in which she
was made to declare her belief that her
son was murdered
Mr.. Birney again asked her: Do you
still believe that after he was uncon-
scious or dead shot was fired into his
head to conceal the crime:
Mrs. SuttOn-I certainly do. / think
the evidence showed it. ! don't think
any more is necessary.
Mr.. Birney-Now, Mrs. Sutton. have
you any facts to support the charges
contained in your letter, or just imagina-
ton?
Mrs Sutton flaming herself vigorously
without answering for a minute)-It was
not imagination l never intended to
charge any one with firing that shot. l
still believe my son was beaten to death.
aIy own opinion is that that bullet never
~iled him.
BY Mr.. Davis Gnterrupting)-I must
protest. Mrs Sutton has testified that
she took the record OF the first court,
and with the Information she obtained
was satisfied that her son did not commit
suicide
The president of the court asked few
questions of Mrs. Sutton and she was
excused and resumed her seat beside her
daughter. who patted her affectionately

Mrs. Sutton and the affidavit of Chauffeur
Owens were read Col. Doyen, who COM
mands the marines at Annapolis, said
nothing in his letter about there being a
hole in Suttons head when he saw the
body, but wrote:
Had there been a vestige of evidence
indicating foul play l should have COM
PEELED full examination; but there is
not a shadow of doubt that your son
came to his death by his own hands. and
it is an interposition of Providence that
he did not take with him into the I'M

who was his friend and who was even
then trying to save him from disgrace"

CADETS HOPE FOR ClEMENCY
DICKINSON CONSIDERING WEST
POINT HAZING CASES.
Believed That Dismissal Has Been
Observation-Disclosures APP
peal to influence.

Although Secretary Dickinson is spend
ing this part of the summer at his coun-
try home at Belle Meade, near Nashville,
he is by no means idle so far as public
business is concerned. All important
questions arising in the War Depart
ment are forwarded to Belle Meade for
consideration and action.
His official mail has at last reached
such proportions that he has been Obliged
to send for his confidential secretary.
Mr.. Clark. The latter will leave here
for Nashville this evening
A matter engaging the active attention
Of Mr. Dickinson just at present is the
report of the army board which recently
completed an investigation of charges of
hazing al the United States Military AGA
envy resulting from the attack of Cade,
Sutton, while walking his post 1t is gen
orally understood that tie board found
evidence of several cases of nazing in
clear violation Of the regulations and
recommended the dismissal of cadets
found guilty, in accordance with the Law
in such cases
The report and its recommendation was
approved by Col Scott, superintendent of
the Academy, who has made it his policy
to eradicate hazing from the institution
II 1t is possible to accomplish 1t, with
the assistance and cooperation of those
higher in authority.
He personally brought the report of the
board to Washington and conferred with
Gen. Wotherspoon. acting chief-of-staff
regarding the ACCESSIBILITY of sending it to
Nashville for the personal consideration
of Secretary Dickinson before final
action is taken in the premises The re-
port is exhaustive and is said to show
that at least five cadets were guilty OF
haZing as described in the regulations.
One of the first questions to be consid-
cred is as to whether these cadets shall
be suspended pending final action in their
cases by the President. The fact that
the cases have been submitted for the
consideration of the Secretary OF War
and the President is taken to mean that
sentences Of dismissal have been imposed
as specifically provided by law for the
offense of hazing.
Several of the cadets who are in the
position of culprits in this matter have
enlisted the aid and influence of members
of Congress and others in power to in
duce the President and the Secretary OF
War to exercise clemency and save them
from the onus of dismissal. They are
supported in their position by the favor
able action taken by President Roosevelt
and Secretary Wright in the cases OF
lenses of hazing in July, 1908, and SINH
larly sentenced to dismissal Under the
law
On that occasion the sentences of dis
missal in the cases of six cadets were
mitigated to suspension, on the ground
that the acts of hazing were not serious
enough to justify the extreme penalty
of dismissal.
The present cases are the first to come
before Secretary Dickinson. There is
considerable interest in his action, as in
dicative of his view Of the general sub
iect
