sHERlFFs FIGHT cossoN LAW.
Do Not Like to Be Burdened With Too
Many Duties.

Des Moines, July 21.-The sheriffs
of Iowa are holding their annual con-.
vention here today and are express
ing their Gisaprroval of the Cosson law
passed by the last legislature.
The sherlffs are considerably agi-
tated over the new law. They assert
it's requirements are such that no
sheriff in any county can possibly
comply with it, 1t virtually makes them
chiefs of police with whole county
to look after so they say, yet it does
not have single provision for more
salary or for the appointment of a
single extra deputy.
The sheriffs are also going to start
movement to modify the law regard
ing the payment of the salaries of chief
deputy sheriffs AS the law now is the
sheriff must pay from his own pocket
the salary of his chief deputy. In small
counties where the sheriff draws <but
$4,000 and has but one deputy, the
supreme court has held that this one
deputy is chief deputy. This leaves
the sheriff with practically no COM
pensation for his work An attempt
will be made to secure an amendment
and correction to this law so as to re-
lieve sheriffs of this payment.

cLEMENcEAU FORCED OUT.
French Cabinet Resigns After Failing
to Receive Vote of Confidence.

Paris, July 21.7The Clemenceau
cabinet resigned last night. The fall of
the cabinet came over the discussion
of the investigation recently held into
the department of marine, which was
strongly condemned in a special COM
MISSIONS report.
On a vote of confidence in the gov
ernment, the vote stood 176 in favor
and PIP opposed.
Clemenceau and his fellow ministers
imm mediately left the chamber. The
premier proceeded directly to Presi-

ton, which the president accepted
The chamber after days debate,
was ready to vote confidence in the
government, when an incident occurred
which changed the majority into mi
nority Clemenceau, who always has
been an adversary Of Delcasse, smart
ing under criticism, and doubtless ov
erconfident of a majority, taunted the
ex-minister of foreign affairs, who was
thrown overheard by the Rouvier min
istry at the dictation of Germany dur
| ing the crisis of 1908, with having led
France to humiliation at Algiers. The
spectre Of that chapter in Frances for
eign history, in which Delcasse was
sacrificed, was a fatal error. Instantly
there was an uproar Of dissent from
both sides of the chamber. Delcasse
flung back the taunt in Clemenceau's
face with bitter words, declaring amid
cheers that France had gone to Alge-
cieras in the interests of peace.

pleasure steamboat on Puget sound and
endangered the lives of 200 persons.
The vessel was slowly proceeding
thru the rock bound narrows called
Deception pass. Low trees sweep Nc
decks of ships and upon one of this
branches colony of rugged horne, IS
erected home. The forward mast
tore off the nest letting it drop on the
deck. Screams and yells soon re-echoed
from beam to beam OF the ship and
every passenger was busy fighting the
tormentors.
Several of the pests collided with
Captain Pierce at the wheel and he
forgot his duties to fight the hornets.
The steamer caught in the swift cur
rent, fairly whirled around as she felt
the unguided rudder. and before the
captain had driven off the pests tho
! boat was dangerously near the rocks.
The seriousness of the accident can
be better realized when more than 100
suits for personal damage and injured

DOES NOT RECALL THREATS.
Lieutenant Bevan, Of Marine Corps Re
sumes Testimony in Sutton Case.

Annapolis, Md, July 21.-Lieut. Will
lam F. Bevan, of the marine corps, re-
sumed his testimony into the death of
former Lieut. James N. Sutton.
Bevans, in replying to questions by
Major Leonard, said that he did not
recall ever hearing Sutton threaten to
take the life of anyone in camp. He
related the occasion of Sutton's shoot
ing up the camp, as told previously by
Adams and Osterman.
when Lieutenant Sutton fired the
fatal shot he was lying face down.

ley was sitting on his legs, Sergeant
De Hart was sitting on his body, and
was holding him by the shoulders.
Suddenly at the sound of voice cry
ing, He has killed Roelker,' Sutton's

shot out toward his head. There was

as 1 never had heard from a revolver

came and took a revolver from him.
"a few seconds before this, just as
l arrived on the scene, Lieutenant
Adams was standing beside Sutton
trying to hit him. ordered Adams
back and some one, think, led him
away"
This was the description of just how
Lieut.. James n. Sutton died as given
by Lieut.. William F. Bevan, who was
the officer of the guard ait the marine
barracks here on the night of Oct II
when Sutton was killed. Bevan now is
hot
Jersey on the Atlantic station.
His story as to the exact manner in
which Sutton came to his end differs
materially from that told by Lieutenant
Adams in that Adams, tho confessedly
forgetful of many incidents that he
testified to at the original inquiry, has
maintained steadfastly before the pres
ent court of inquiry that after he got
off Sutton, whom he had thrown to
the ground, Sutton lay there alone ant
that he was alone with nobody nea,
him when he drew his right arm from
under his body and fired the shot thai
ended his life.
Bevan's testimony also revealed tha
situation bordering on a wild wes
rampage had existed in the marine
camp just prior to the shooting.
Sutton, he said, had been trying t.
make Lieutenant Rocker dance b,
leveling two revolvers at his feet ant
afterward had rushed from the camp
disregarding his arrest by the officer o
the guard. and shouting that he woule
quit the marines for good and all.
Bevan told of a conversation will
Sutton about six weeks prior to hi:
death, in which Sutton said that thu
life in the navy did not attract him
and that some day he would shoot him
self. Bevan was subjected to a sever
cross examination by Davis, counse
for Sutton's mother, during which
number Of small discrepancies wer
noted in his testimony at this time an
at the former hearing. Witness sal
that he testified to the best of hi
recollection, on both occasions.
