DR.. HuNTIpcToN SINKING.
DEATH HOURLY EXPECTED.
Sick Mans Wish That He Might See
His Daughter Gratified.

Nahant, Mass, July 23.-Rev. DR..
William r. Huntington, rector of Grace
Episcopal church, New York city, who
is i'll here at the residence of his SON.
in-law, Royal Robbins, was still alive
tonight, but his condition was so grave
that the attending physician, Dr. Win
slow. expressed the belief that he
would not live more than twenty-four
hours.
Dr. Huntington's wish that he might
see his daughter, Miss Margaret, was
granted late. this afternoon. The
young woman, who had returned by
the steamer Lusitania from Liverpool
after she had received wireless mes
sage while on her way across the At
lantic, eastbound, informing her of her
fathers illness, reached Nahant at 4
o'clock this afternoon. She was ac-
companied by her brother in-law,
Royal Robbins. who had met her at the
pier in New York, and taken directly
to the Robbins residence near Forty
Steps beach.
Although weakened greatly by dis
ease, DR. Huntington has retained en-
tire consciousness and he greeted his
daughter affectionately. Up to that
time he had appeared to be sinking
rapidly and it was feared that the md
was very near, but the presence of his
daughter had a Stimulating effect upon
the sufferer. DR.. Winslow said this
evening that it was quite probable
that the patient might survive the
night but he held out no further hope.

LYNN TRUNK MYSTERY,
NEW EVIDENCE DISCOVERED,
Police Believe Moniian's Death Was
Accidental.

Lynn, Mass, July 23,-The Lynn
police, upon the discovery of new ev-
idence today, were convinced that
Minos K Monjian, whose body was
found yesterday in a trunk in the room
of his friend, Vahan Halbandian, met
his death .by the accidental discharge
of an automatic revolver Chief Thorn
as M Burckes said that he believed
that the two men were examining the
weapon. which Halbandian had pur-
chased to take back to Armenia with
him, when it. suddenly exploded. The
chiefs theory is that Halbandian, ter
rified at the accident, feared that the
police would fix the crime on him,
and that after putting the body in the
trunk he fed from the city. Two
Armenians today told the police that
on Sunday evening last, while they
were sitting on the piazza OF a coffee
house opposite the Emerson house,
where Halbandien roomed, they heard
Monjian and sHalbandian in CONVEX
sation, through Halbandian's open win
dow. Fifteen minutes later there was
a pistol shot and they saw Halban-
dian come to the window. "Ohs God,
what have donei" he cried several
times, wringing his hands. Shortly aft
erward he disappeared.
Every effort was being made today
to locate Halbandian. 80

Strict Executive sessions Quay
Soon it was developed that the con-
ferees would have, 10 confer with as
sociates not on the conference commit :.
tee, and therefore an adjournment was
taken until 10 o'clock tomorrow. The
strict executive sessions inaugurated
today will be resumed tomorrow.
After adjournment Senators Lodge
and Crane and Representative Mccall
of Massachusetts had a long consulta-
ton with Senator Aldrich. 1t is not
known what understanding, II any, was
reached but it would surprise very rev
people aoltside of the conference cnam-
ber if an agreement Is reached tonor-
row substantially reducing the duties
on hides and all leather goods.
Iron Question Considered Settled.
Many senators thought little objec-
ton would be made to placing iron ore
on the free list and this question gen.
orally was regarded as settled.
Lobbyists Anxious to Learn Something.
The news that the conferees had ex-
cluded the clerks of the committee and
were trying to reach decisions on the
important items in dispute was not Ion
in reaching the hordes of lobbyists in
the corridor leading to the chamber.
From that moment everything was
confusion. The representatives of the
special interests used WITHOUT success
every sort of artful dodge in their anx-
iety to learn something of the nature
of the proceedings. Several times the
voices of the conferees sounded through
the walls at high pitch that indicated
anything but harmony, and this added
to the excitement. If there was any
friction it was smoothed over before the
conference was adjourned. All of the
members came out of the chamber
smiling.
No Report Before Tuesday.
There was some disappointment when
it was learned that the house had ad-
journed until Tuesday, as that action
makes it impossible for the conferees
to make a report before Tuesday. Rep
resentative Dwight of New York, the
house whip" will be held responsible
if there is any delay.
The anti-free raw material "insur-
gents" of the house met today.
There were only 81 members present
and although several speeches were
made, no resolutions of protest were
adopted.
1t was announced today that the in
creased rates of internal revenue tax on
tobacco, which were adopted by the
senate at the instance of Senator Bev-
eriige, will be accepted.
The onferees today accepted a senate
amendment imposing duty of IS per
cent. ad valorem on structural steel
punched for use.

dered done. after Mr.. Rucker had ex-
planned that he actually made the
statement on the floor and insisted
there was applause. The speaker de-
clared the motion to strike out carried.
although he failed to take the negative
vote.
The session was further enlivened
when Mr.. Randell, Texas. wanted the
speaker to appoint judiciary COM
mittee to consider bills prohibiting
members of congress and court ofi-
GERS from accepting gifts or employ
ment from corporations. trusts, or
persons interested in legislation.

RE-INvEsTiGATIoN OF
LIEUT.. sUTToN's DEATH
Navy Practically Rests Its case-Miss- :.
ing Witness Not Yet Located.

Annapolis, Nd, July 2S.-The navy
practically rested its case today in
the re-investigation of the death of
Lieut.. James N. Sutton, who was ad-
judged a suicide by the naval board of
inquiry just after Sutton's death two
years ago. After short session to-
day, Commander John Hood, u. S. N,

journed the hearing until Monday.

Gently attached to the battleship North
Carolina, and now on the way to this
country from Europe, nearly all the
remaining witnesses are considered to
be witnesses for the interested parties
outside of the service.
Most of todays session was occu-
pied with the testimony of the two
chauffeurs, William Owens and Edward
Griffith. Ovens testified he drove
Sutton and a party of young officers
from Carvel hall hotel to the marine
camp on the night of the shooting and
witnessed an alteration and inter-
rupted fist fight between Sutton and
Lieutenant Adams as he left his pas
sengers near the parade grounds, ad-
jacent to the camp. He was told to
beat it," he said, came. back to town
and did not learn of the shooting until
the next morning. Griffith, who had
driven Lieutenant Poms and another
officer to camp Just ahead of Owens,
denied he met the Sutton party on the
way back. He stopped because he
saw Owens car standing still and
thought it had broken down. His
testimony in other details corroborat-
ed that of Owens.
Lieutenant Rocker, who is supposed
to have been hit with a bullet from
Sutton's revolver during the quarrel
ing, has not yet been located, although
his testimony is considered most inn
portant. The list of witnesses remain
ing to be examined consist of Lieuten-
ant Utley, Surgeon Cook, Lieutenant
Temple N Potts, Jr., Prof. Gilbert P.
Coleman of the naval academy, Frank
Fogg, Esq, of Washington, d. c.. Pri-
vate Charles Kennedy, Mrs. Sutton,
