An exchange in discussing the Sutton
investigation at Annapolis, closed a few
days since, makes statement of cold
facts, when it says it transpires that
Lieutenant Sutton was brutally beaten
and murdered by half.drunken gang OF
cadet officers.
After the assassination these murderous
thugs, in order to conceal their bloody
work. testified that Sutton had committed
sricide. Though known in inner naval
circles that this was false, the verdict
would have stood, but for the indefati-
gable efforts Of the victims mother to
unearth the conspiracy and bring to
light the details of a tragedy which
shocked the country.
To ascertain the facts in this infamous
affair has been no easy task, for be it
known that the ethics in high army and
navy life preclude the offering of testi
mony against brother officer. And it
was this, together with tremendous naval
influence. civil and political, which Mrs.
Sutton encountered in every direction
and which threatened innumerable times
to thwart all attempts at investigation.
The evidence now at hand establishes
the fact that cold.blooded murder was
committed; that the truth was suppress
ed; that perjury was committed.
Mrs. Sutton has proven her son was
not a suicide. but the murderers will not
be brought to justice.

No Puzzle to Him.

From the Chicago Tribune.
"It makes me tired wrote the editor
of the Hickory Ridge Missourian, when
we see some city newspaper wondering
why it is that a woman always gets off a
street car the wrong way. There amt no
mystery about 1t at all. Our wife explain
ed it to us years ago, and she never rode
on a street car but once in her life when
she was visiting relations in Kansas City
A woman gets off a street car back
ward because she naturally grabs her
skirts with her left hand. That's con-
stitutional with woman. Then she has
to grab something with her right hand
to hold on to. and that's the railing at
the rear end of the car, so when she steps
off she has to face the wrong way. You
can't break woman of that habit unless
you make them get off on the left side
of the street car, and If you did that
it's just as likely as not they'd be con-
trary enough to grab their skirts with
their right hands. But there amt moth
ing strange about the way they get Off
now. Blamed if We don't think sometimes
that some of the stupidest men In the
world is working on the big city papers. y

ATHLETIC F|ElO FOR BOYS
PROPOSED IN CONNECTION
WITH BATHING BEACH.
Land Near 18th and B Streets Re
garded as Suitable for
the Purpose.

In line with the general citizens move
ment for the proper maintenance of play
grounds for the children of Washington.
DIR. William B. Hudson, superintendent of
the bathing beach and assistant director
of Fairgrounds. is endeavoring to estab-
lish an athletic field for boys sixteen
years of age and younger at 18th and B
streets.
Working for the improvement of the
bathing beach, Supt. Hudson has directed
the filling up of several of the small fish
Matching ponds near the intersection of
18th and B streets. These were regarded
as unsuitable for bathing purposes and
therefore are being filled in and the
ground graded. The small amount of
money available, however. will preclude
any extensive improvement of the land
surrounding the bathing beach.
The ground at 18th and B streets is re-
garded as an ideal site for an athletic field
for boys. 1t is level and large enough for
a running track, couple OF base Dali ola-
monds and other equipment, and VIII be
to the boys what the White Lot ellipse is
to the young men.
Plans are being made by officials of
the engineering department of the Dis
trict government for the expenditure of
the $1,000 appropriated in the last Dis
trict act for the Improvement and equip
ment' of the Georgetown playground.
The playground association has requested
that the Engineer Commissioner direct
the improv vements there, and he has given
Instructions for the preparation of the
plans. AS the money is not available
until July I. work cannot begin until
that date. but the necessary surveys VIII
be made before that time. so that there
will be no delay in beginning work as
soon as the money can be expended.
The following contributions to the play
grounds fund are reported:

Miracle of Persistency.
From Success Magazine.

the last to turn back. ii persists when all
other forces have surrendered and fed.
1t has won many battle even after hope
has left the field.
Confederate commanders in the civil war
said that the trouble with Gen. Grant
was that "he never knew when he was
beaten" When Grants generals thought
that his army, with only two transports.
would be trapped at Vicksburg, they
asked him how he expected to get his
men out urging that in case of defeat he
could get only small part of his army
upon two transports. He told them that
two would be plenty for all the men tha.
1t Is the man I'm the business world who

dance at the same time. The feature
of the evening was the Prize Waltz.
About sixty couples entered in the ev.
