Annapolis, Nd, July 2O--The
board OF officers appointed to rein
vestigate the death of Second Lieu
tenant James Sutton of the marine
corps. who was mysteriously shot IN
Annapolis on October 13, 1907, met
here today 10 begin the taking of tes-
timony. The board is composed OF
Commander John Wood. Z. S. N;
Major W. c. Neville, L. S. NJ. c.;
Lieutenant H. NJ. Jensen. Z. s. N,
and Major Harry Leonard, {. 5. NJ.
c., judge advocate general.
Lieutenant Sutton was killed by
a pistol shot after an alleged quarrel
with a brother officer. Sutton, &C
companied by several other officers,
was returning to the naval academy
after attending a dance at Carvel
hall in Annapolis A quarrel devel-
oped on the way. which later led to
a fight. The evidence a1duced by
the first court Of inquiry showed that
Sutton went to his quarters and OBJ
| tanned his service revolver with the
| intention of shooting his antagonist.
He fired AT one of his former COM
panions. Second Lieutenant r. E.
and was dazed by bullet from SUIT
| Adams. but did not strike him. Lieu
| tenant Rocker, another member OF
the party, went to Adams assistance
| tons pistol. which struck Rocker
in the chest but did not penetrate his
body. Somebody called out "Roel-
ker is dead" Then Sutton, according
to the evidence. drew another revolt
yer and shot himself in the head. He
was hurried to the Academy hospital
but died within short time.
The court of inquiry held shortly
after Lieutenant Sutton's death de-
cided that he had committed suicide.
Mrs James \. Sutton, the young Of
ficers mother, was dissatisfied with
| the verdict of the court, and at her
request the navy department ordered
a second investigation of the affair.
One of the principal witnesses in the
inquiry. Lieutenant r. E. Adams, has
recently been stationed at Sea Girt,
y. J. Lieutenant Rocker. who also
figured prominently in the affray,
disappeared shortly after the affair
and his present whereabouts are said
to be unknown.
There is no doubt that the investi-
eating board which assembled today
will make every effort to bring out
the facts of the tragedy, and either
substantiate the finding of the first
board that Lieutenant Sutton commit
ed suicide that the public mind will
be satisfied or bring to trial any who
may have had hand in his death. If
it should be found that it was by
other than his own hands. William
Owings, the chauffeur who drove the
party on the fatal night, will be an
important witness. He has stated
positively that Sutton did not attack
Lieutenant Adams first, but that
Lieutenant Adams attacked Lieuten-
ant Sutton and repeated the attack
before Lieutenant Sutton agreed to
fight him.
Other civilian witnesses will be at
least. two of the employees of Carval
Hall, where Lieutenant Sutton and
his brother officers attended a dance |
on the night of the tragedy. The en- |
ployes will. it is reliably understood,
contradict the testimony before the |

as well as the drivers.

kauai LIGHT
TO BE SETTLED

Sixty thousand dollars will shortly
be expended on the construction of a
first-class lighthouse on the Island of
Kauai, and Major Winslow. u. S. A..
lighthouse engineer, and Lieutenant
Commander Moses, accompanied by
Governor Walter +. Frear, left for
Kauai on the Kukui Monday night to
choose the site. There has been con.
siderable discussion as to whether the
splendid new light should be placed
CT the northern or the southern side
of the Island, and opinion among local
sailors has been about equally divided.
The news that Governor Frear sac
companied the party on the tour of in
spcction came as something of a sur
prise, as his departure was not herald.
ed in the least. The matter of finally
settling the site on which the new
lightN will be placed is one of great
Importance. however, and the Chief
Executive, who has followed the affair
pretty closely, went along to aid with
his personal opinion in the decision.
On leaving here Monday night, the
Kuftui headed directly for Kilauea. on
the northern side of the Island This
Is one of the places which has been
favored as site for the lighthouse
and is understood to have number of
strong supporters. Captain Tullett,
who represents the local mariners at
Washington, is understood to have ex-
pressed himself as being highly in ia
vor of the site at Kilauea, as opposed
to the one at Mana, on the southern
side of Kauai.
The question of where to place the
big light has been held in allegiance
for some time past, but the settlement
will undoubtedly be made ON this trip
of the Kukui. The money for the
lighthouse, which will be equipped
with all the latest and best appliances,
comes from Federal appropriation.
Besides giving this matter their at
tention, Lieutenant Moses and Major
Winslow will inspect the light at Ma
wiliwili, and will take look at the
buoys which are placed at different sta
lions along the coastline. The Kukui
will probably be inside the harbor at
daybreak this morning.

A nice little treat awaited those who
happened to visit the landing Tuesday
prior to the departure of the Mika-
.hala. Miss Ahana, one of the charm
ing daughters of the rice king of HUI

was on her way to Honolulu, where on
Wednesday after her arrival she was
to become the wife of one Young
Chung, cook on the steamer Maui.
The charming young prospective bride
of about sixteen summers was hand
somely dressed, in readiness for the
marriage, and attracted no little at
