DEATH OF OFFICER
 WILL BE PROBED Theory Of Suicide Is Not Be- Iieved By His Family STATEMENT IS GIVEN OUT Commandant of Barracks Where Lieu tenant Sutton Died Declares
 Latter Threatened Others
 Then Killed Self.
STATEMENT IS GIVEN OUT

Annapolis, Md, July 12-The forthcom- of Lieut. James N. Sutton, United States marine corps, who, according to the find ing of the prior investigators, committed suicide, continues to hold interest here, and new evidence in the case is constant ly being sought. It is said that today witnesses have been discovered who can testify that on the night he met his death Lieutenant Sutton had not been drinking unduly, and that he left Carvel hall in an automobile with four other officers who had spent considerable time in the bar room of the hotel The clerk of the hotel is quoted as saying that he saw Lieu tenant Sutton in company with Miss Stewart in the lounging room of the hotel constantly during the evening, that he saw the lieutenant bid Miss Stewart good night, and little later saw him leave the hotel in an automobile with Lieu tenants Adams, Rocker Osterman and Utley, after having had something to drink with them in the barroom of the hotel. It is also asserted that evidence will be forthcoming to show that before the party had gone far there was a quar- rel among those in the automobile, that profane language was used, and that the others in the party set upon Lieutenant Sutton.
 Col. Charles A. Doyen, commandant of the marine corps barracks at the time Lieutenant Sutton died, today made a statement relative to his investigation of the case in which he said that in the dis pute in the automobile, as well as in what afterward occurred, Lieutenant Sut- ton was the aggressor.
 The statement says that Lieutenant Slut ton was placed under arrest, which he broke after arming himself with two revolvers, to hunt up and kill those who had been his companions, and that he finally killed himself.
 Colonel Doyens statement concludes:
 "The day after Sutton's death, Major Fuller in discussing the affair said Sut- ton had made remark at dinner table to a young lady guest that it was the height of his ambition to kill man some day"

TO ILLU INNATE
 NEW YORK CITY

New York, July 12.-(Speciai. )-Detailed plans for making New York city the most brilliant spot in the world, from September 25 to October 9, were adopted yesterday by the Hudson-Fulton celebra- ton commission. Representatives of the various lighting associations have been in frequent conference with the individual members of the commission, and particu- larly with the Illuminating committee. of which MT. William Berri Is chairman. Mir. Berri and his fellow members have listened to suggestions from prominent citizens of all the boroughs, who are in teresting themselves in the coming cele bration, and out of all the mass of ideas submitted a schedule of locations and the number of lights to each has finally been agreed upon, to the entire satisfac- ton of Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, the president of the commission; MT. Herman Ridder, presiding vice president and act ing president, and the other officers.
 An officer of the commission said, in speaking of the arrangements:
 We shall light New York as no city has ever been lighted before in history.
 
 from all classes of citizens that they will help the celebration by Illuminating their residences and places of business so that the effect cannot fail to impress everybody who sees it. There Is under contempla- ton an electric novelty that has never before been even considered, and which when perfected should be as great me- chanical marvel as Niagara Falls Is a natural wonder. In a few days we ex- pect to be able to make this matter pub | lic Meanwhile we are working on the detans of arranging the lights on the various buildings and bridges" The following is the list of locations that will be illuminated by the five companies having the matter in charge: The New York Edison, the Edison Electric Hum mating company of Brooklyn, the United | Electric Light and Power company, the New York and Queens Electric Light and Power company and the Richmond Light and Railroad company: Queens borough bridge, 14,00 lamps.
 Brooklyn bridge, 1900 lamps.

THE LAST OF ITS KIND.
ROYALTY AT STATE BALL.
Buckingham Palace Function Differs
 Widely From Ordinary Dance.

From a London letter to the New York
 Herald.
 Procedure at state ball at Bucking ham Palace, like that of Friday night, differs widely from that of an ordinary dance. Guests receive command invita- tions. and 1t is understood that they are expected to arrive punctually. Their royal hosts do not receive them, but everybody forms up in two lines, between which royalties present pass in procession in strict order of precedence, the King and the Queen acknowledging the deep salu- tations.
 The proceedings open with the royal quadrille, in which almost all the royal family take part and in which only those specially commanded also dance. After this their majesties take their places on a dais and the dancing becomes general
 The King does not approve of young people not dancing, therefore at the court ball practically no one under 50 sits out. When member of the royal family wishes to dance with some one lord in waiting is sent to intimate that fact to the honored subject.
 All the evening relays of individuals are brought up by command to speak to the King and Queen, but after awhile the King generally leaves the dais and walks among his guests.
 The royal family have supper in a sep arate apartment at one large round table and do not afterward reappear. The com pany sups at small tables and at big buffet. Two specialties are famous, "hock cup" from a recipe of George ", and hot quails of a specially large breed, stuffed with pate de foie gras.
 Many dance after supper or stroll about the rooms, looking at the pictures. But few finger late, however and the ball is generally over soon after half-past o'clock The display of jewels is won derful, and 1t is by no means uncommon to see some great dame wearing two tiaras, one above and just behind the other.

Water Wagon In Sweden.

From the Washington Post.
 "They still drink in Sweden, but they likely will not do 1t long," remarked O.. L. Nelson of Stockholm at the Raleigh.
 Already one-tenth of the whole pop ulation belongs to temperance societies. It takes seven of these societies, among them the w. c. T. U., to accommodate the membership of this one-tenth, and there are many total abstainers outside. There are 5000 members of the Womens Christian Temperance Union in Sweden, and there, doubtless would be many more if so many women had not become mem- bers of other temperance societies before the advent of the w. c. T. U.
 Sweden has a Students Total Absti hence association with a membership of II, ,000 This remarkable institution ap- pears to give hopeful promise for the future. The w. c. T. U. and other so- cieties In Sweden have successfully han dled the government for last month the Swedish parliament gave a large grant toward courses of temperance instruction for teachers this year and next, and the city of Stockholm grants 1000 kroner yearly to a permanent temperance exhibi- tion. The local veto bill has been thrown out, however, by the first chamber, though 1t passed the second.
 Two large towns in Sweden are dry, and in the villages of the whole country there are not 100 saloons The temper ance question has assumed so much im- portance in Sweden that every political party must take account of 1t and have 1t in its platform v

Hereafter Making of Tariff Law Will
 Be Work of Commission.

From the New York Tribune.
 Although so far as the free and dutiable lists are concerned the Senate's tariff bill has proved a serious disappointment to the public. fulfilling republican promises neither to the ear nor to the hope, there is yet good deal of encouragement to be found in .he fact that the makers of that misfit draft have indirectly confessed the inexpertness and insufficiency of their workmanship. They have given prac- tical evidence of an intention to aban- don outworn methods in tariff legislation and to substitute accurate knowledge for haphazard guesswork in solving the chief problems of protection. They are paving the way for a determination by pains taking Investigation of the differential in cost of production here and abroad-the factor in the tariff equation which has so far eluded the schedule makers in both branches of Congress- In creating machinery to supply information now sadly lacking Congress holds out to the public the assurance that the tariff law now almost rewritten, will be the last of it's kind.
 It will be a great step in advance to bring Into existence a permanent tariff commission charged with studying. con dtions in production at home and abroad, comparing costs and demonstrating the real handicap under which the domestic producer labors because of a higher wage standard and a higher range of prices for raw materials. It is a burlesque on seri- ous legislation for Congress to try to ap- ply definite principal of protection such as was laid down in the last republican national platform. when the data needed for guidance are so vague and inexact as to be practically worthless. If the tariff makers do not know what it costs to pro duce a similar article in a foreign coun- try which competes in our market it is hopeless to think of putting our tariff system on scientific, fair and helpful basis. A tariff commission Is not needed simply to help the President to decide whether the maximum or the minimum rates should be enforced against a for eign country suspected of imposing dis criminations against American commerce. It is needed to furnish rational ground work for the schedules themselves, limit ing their scope to the exact needs of the home producer and thus enabling him to develop his industry in the general interest. but not at an excessive profit to himself or at an excessive cost to the home n ha Sor If hiq nrOdllctH

 FOR GRAIN FIRM

Cincinnati, July 12-James Stone, an attorney, was today appointed receiver of the Consolidated Stock and Grain company, the alleged bucket shop firm re- gently raided twice by County Prose- cutor Hunt.

DUTY ON BEER TO
 BE PAID IN FULL

New York, July 12.-Collector Loeb has just made a recommendation for change in the manner of collecting the customs on imported beers, which, If allowed in Washington. will net the government an extra $25,O00 a year.
 Hitherto 1t has been the custom to rate the half barrels containing 16 gallons at two gallons less, to allow for gas and supposed shrinkage in the slaves. Collec- tor Loeb has found that all kegs are carefully inspected by the home officials before being shipped to this country and stamped with their exact contents. It is his wish now to follow the official ratings and discontinue an allowance worth 40 cents on each cask admitted.
 Imports of beer from Germany and Austria Hungary amounted in 1908 to 4,- S10,000 gallons

MUDDLED CHILDREN.
Lincoln Information That Went to
 Waste In Some Cases.

From the Boston Herald.
 A librarian in one of the busiest branches of the New York public library asked every child who came into her library on Lincoln's birthday the question, Who was Lincoln?"
 The library had displayed varied and interesting picture bulletins about Lin colns life. had assisted several hundred children in getting material to write com positions on Lncoln-had indeed occupied the greater part of it's time for two weeks past in trying to help young America in its struggle to understand Lncoln-and the librarian was interested to know If there was any child over ten years of age in New York who did not know the his tory of Abraham Lincoln
 The children came from public and pa rochial schools, and many-in fact, nearly all-gave quick, clever answers. On the other hand few seem worth recording only to show that the teacher may work himself to death and not put 'sense" into the head of an inattentive jboy or girl.
 The first startling answer to the ques- tion. Who was Lincoln?" was. He freed the Indians" Another boy said, ''He was the sleeping sentinel" A little girl said she did not know who he was, but seemed to struggle with some vague memory finally burst out gladly. "I do know; he was Washington" Some other answers were: He freed the nig- gers, and now they don't have to work" "He started the civil war" "Ho fought the Indians" He left go the slaves, and ''He fas the man that pulled a pig out of the mud"
 One boy said: "He was President in 1s4l or 1884," and when asked if he was something more than President, replied NO. ma am; you can't be no more than that"
 One boy, a stranger in the library, evil dently thought the librarian a truant officer, for when asked. Who was Lin coln?" said, 'I don't know ma 'am;" and when the librarian insisted, ''Yes, you do." said: '1 ain't Lincoln, and it's a holiday"
 nice-lookng girl, when asked what she knew about Lincoln, answered con tentedly, Hes dead" Anekher said He lived in log cabin"
 But what else did he do?"
 "He freed the Americans"
 Another answer to that question was "He freed the land' Other thought that his title to distinc- tion lay in his having "a grand temper, hls having been born n Kaintucky," or h4s having been very poor"
 Ono nrim little maid. when asked what he did when he was President, said They said he freed the slaves, but there were so many of them I don't see how he did it.
