NAVY PRACTICALLY RESTS
IT CASE IN SUTTON PROBE.
Pending Arrival OF Witnesses from Europe
Relatives of Dead Lieutenant OF
Marines Will Present Evidence.

Annapolis. Nd. July 23.-The navy
practically rested it's case today in the
ADMINISTRATION of the death OF Lieut.
James \. Sutton, who was adjudg6d Il
suicide by the naval board of inquiry
just after Sutton's death two years
ago. After a short session today, Com
mander John Hood, u. S. N, president
of the court Of inquiry, adjourned the
hearing until Monday. With the excep-
ton of Lieut.. Harold n. Utley ana
Surgeon f. G. Cook, recently attached
to the battleship North Carolina and
now on the way to this country from
Europe, nearly all the remaining wit
nesses are considered to be witnesses
for the interested parties outside of the
service.
AS Utley and Cock are not expected
here before Aug / the inquiry next
week will take the color of the other
side Major Leonard, Judge advocate
of the court, said after adjournment
today that the witnesses on hand ought
to be disposed of by Wednesday and
then an adjournment taken until the
other witnesses arrive. Counsel for SUIT
tons mother expressed himself as sat
isied with the developments in the
case this week. 1--WE are entirely salts
fed with the progress and develop
ment of thecase," he said. I'VE have
discovered nothing in the way of sur
prises, and what has developed in the
nature of the unexpected has been con
hrmatory of our opinion of the affair
and has strengthened our belief"
The Suttons, both mother and daugh-
ter, have contended from the start that
neither a verdict of suicide, nor even
one of accidental DEATH could be based
on the real facts, and that some outside
agency is responsible for sutton 5
death, which they declare resulted from
a mysterious bullet wound in his head
inflicted during a brawl with officers
of his corps.
Mrs. Sutton and her daughter, Mrs
Rose Sutton Parker, will both testify
at the hearings next week. So far, fou
of Sutton's brother officers in thu
Marine Corps have testified that the,
weer present at the fight, which start
ed between Lieuts Adams and Sutton
and each of them swore they saw
sutton deliberately shoot himself in
supposed fit of remorse, after someon
had said that he, Sutton. had kille'
Lieut.. Rocker. Their description
the incidents just prior to the shoot
ing nave varied in many respects, bu

that a voter must swear he has voted

If the bill should pass the two

President Wins One.

Sacramento, Calf, Feb. 1O.-As-
semblyman w. B. Griffiths, who has
been a strong advocate of antl-Jap-
anese legislation, has been won over
temporarily, to the side OF the gov
ernor. He said today he was willing
to vote for a reconsideration.
His change of opinion is attributed
to a telegram received from Senator
Perkins, reading: IF not inconsist-
ent with your views l hope you will
consent to cooperate with Governor
Gillette, who / am sure has at heart
the honor and welfare of our state
as well as the entire country. Treat
les made with foreign powers become
the supreme law of the land"
Many have expressed surprise at
the change of attitude of the Califor-
mia senator.

John P. Donnelly, conductor of
freight train No. Sc, was thrown un-
der the cars from the top of the train
this morning as it was pulling out Of
Kamela toward Pendleton, and in
stantly killed, his left arm and leg be-
ing cut off and his head badly mutt
lated, as the result of a sudden stop
that was made about four or five
hundred yards this side of the station.
The sudden stop caused the train
to break into four pieces and It Is
supposed that the conductor was
precipitated between two of the cars
at the moment the stop was made.
AS it is necessary for the engineer
to receive a signal before he can start
again he waited for minute for this
signal and not receiving it, the brake
man went along the train. to see what
had become of the conductor.
Before he had gone far he found
the body of the dead conductor un-
der the wheels in the ghastly condi-
tion described He gave the alarm,
Immediately the officials were noti-
fled, and the coroner and his jury
were taken at once to the scene of
the tragedy in special train.
Jack Donnelly, as he is known
here, was young man % or 80 years
of age and has been in the train SER
vic for five or six years. Previous to
the time that he went to work for
the railroad he was interested in a
laundry at La Grande. Later he sold
1ut to Dunn brothers and obtained a
position on the railroad.
He was conducting the train on the
Pilot Rock branch when the road was
irst built and was the first man to
conduct the passenger train over that
inc.
Last summer he married Miss Liz
lie Geek, sister of F. O'Gara of this
ity, who lived in La Grande. Mr..
himself has lived in that
own for the last 10 years and it was
'hile he was making his headquar-
ars in that place that he met his
fife. He was well liked by the train
len who knew him and his friends
'ere shocked by the awful tragedy.
He is a member of the Order of
alway Conductors.
