New York, July 21.-Jesse L. Liv-
ermore, whose ups and downs as a
plunger in stocks. cotton and wheat
were widely chronicled in 1907-0S,
has been missing from his accustom-
ed place in the offices of E. F. Hutton
& Co., for several weeks, and his
name has been erased from the door
on one of the inner rooms in which
he used to make his headquarters
when his profits were large.
1t is. current gossip in the broker
age offices of 1.-The street" that Mr..
Livermore has been a heavy loser on
the short side of cotton and wheat. In
August last year he was reported to
have been one of the leaders of the
bull pool in cotton which collapsed
1isastrously after fighting the decline
for more than a week. When the
market finally went to pieces with a
drop of $3.50 a bale he was reported
to have lost close to a million,
Before that time his profits from
cotton and wheat operations were
said to have amounted to over $2,-
600, 900 and he was pointed to as the
most successful of recent plungers.

Washington, D. c., July 16.-Con-
gress will be asked at the instance of
President Taft to authorize the issu-
ance of bonds to the extent of the

The G. O. P.
It LAS Hopeful Designs on
the Old Dominion.
Although Virginia Has Heretofore
Been a Strong Democratic State,
Republican Leaders Express
Confidence.

Washington, d. Gully 20.-On the
Republican convention at Newport
News there is manifested among the
politicians here a lively interest in
the situation in the Old Dominion.
The convention will name candidates
for governor and other state officers
to be voted for at the election this
fall.
Although Virginia has heretofore
been a strong Democratic state, Re
publican leaders xpress confidence
that conditions are decidedly in their
favor, owing to discussions in the
Democratic party. Many well inform
de politicians declare hat the state is
ripe for a political revolution.
State expenditures during Governor
Swanson's administration have large
ly increased without appreciate bet
torment of conditions. The Republi-
can party, therefore, pledges itself to
insert a clause in it's platform proyid-
ing for a decrease in state expendi-
lures. Another issue is the apopint-
ment of state officials by the COVER
nor. The Republicans declare that
these 200 or more appointments
should be by special act of the 1egis-
lature reposed in the hands of the
people, by whom they should be elect
ed at the polls.
Other planks the Republicans will
incorporate in their platform are abb
solution of poll taxes. local option and
reform never before known to the
state is vouched for by party leaders.
A. P. Gillespie, of Tazewell, can
have the gubernatorial nomination it
he will accept it. MI. G%illespie's
strength lies in the fact that he is an
able business man, who has eschewed
partisan politics, and is therefore
strong with the Independent voters of
the state. He is an extensive lane
owner, which makes him popular with
the farmers, and one of the foremost
members of the Virginia bar. He has
a large clientele among the coal pro-
ducers of Southwest Virginia, where
AO 10 hho"h oo q Ul1IIIdu ldWy0I. L
has held any political position.
1t is understood hat President Taft
has personally urged Mr.. Gillespie to
become the Republican standard bear
er in the approaching campaign. and
on all sides it is. admitted that he
would be able to give the Democratic
candidate, whether the latter is st.
George Tucker or Judge Mann, a hard
fight for election. Nevertheless there
is much doubt as to whether Mr.. Gil
lespie car be prevailed upon to ac-
cept the nomination. Should be de-
cline to allow his name to be pre-
sented to the convention the contest
for the head of the ticket will be
fought out among a field of favorite
sons.

Broke Out on Hips and Legs-W Was
So Sore, Irritating and Painful
that Little Sufferer Could Not

CUTICURA'S EFFECT
QUICK AND PERMANENT

"When about two and a half years
old my daughter-broke out on her hips
and the upper parts of her legs with a
very irritating end painful eruption. It
began in October; the first I noticed
was a little red surface and a constant
desire on her part TO scratch her limbs.
She could not sleep and the eruptions
got sore, and yellow water came u Of
them. I had two doctors treat her, but
she grew worse under their treatment.
Then I bought the Cuticura Soap. Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent,
and only used them two weeks when she
was entirely well. This was in Febru-
place on her skin, and she is now four

Annapolis, Md. July 20.-The pro-
ceedings at today's session of the
court on inquiry which is investigat-
ing the death of Lieut.. James N. SUIT
ton, of the Marine Corps, of Portland,
Ore, took a sensational turn when
First Lieut.. William F. Beyan, of the
United States Marine Corps, now at
tached to the %battleship New Jersey.
took the witness stand near adjourn
ment of court and related his part
in the tragedy in the early morning
of October 10, 1907, when young SUIT
ton met his death. Lieutenant Bevan
was officer of the guard in the marine
camp on that night and n of the
first men t. leach the scene of SUIT
ton death.
Like Lieutenant Adams he testified
that Sutton deliberately shot himself
but beyond that cardinal fact his de-
scription of Sutton's alleged suicide
varied in important details from the
story told by Adams. the man who
said he had participated in a life and
dea.h struggle with the oun CreEcn
lieutenant just prior to mis- aet of se,f-
destruction.
The most glazing disagreement
| with Adams story came when Bevan
swore that he and two other officers
were on top of Sutton trying to hold
him down to prevent him from using
his revolver when Sutton freed ar
| arm from under him and fired a bull
let into his own brain after some one
remarked that he (S%utton) had killed
Lieutenant Rocker. Adams testified
that he had risen from Lieutenant
Sutton's body and that Sutton lay TX
hausted and alone on the groun6
when he saw Linn raise his right hand
and fire the S. ct that ended his life.
Bevans' testimony also revealed
that a situat'ln bordering on WILD
West rampage ad existed in the ma
rine camp just prior to- the shooting
when Sutton ad been trying to max
Lieutenant Rs~lker dance by ~levellin,
two revolvers at his feet, and after
wards rushed from the camp, disre
garding his arrest by the officer of thu
guard, and s. outing that he woul'
quit the marinas for good and all.
The fact that Lieutenant Bevan wa
on duty and had not been afforded al
opportunity to join in the 'larks" Q
his brother officers is bound to at
tach weight to his version of the at
, fair.
He made a good impression on tn
witness stand and gave his tsstimon
without the least compunctien or ner
~veusness. Major Leonard. the Judge

BfvAt'S TESTIMONY.
Says That Sutton Deliberate
" Shot Himself
Mother of Lieutenant Sutton Says
That After Hearing Evidence She
Is More Convinced Than Ever
Her Son Was Murdered.

Annapolis, Md, July 21.-"My poor
boy was beaten to death and then
shot, today declared Mrs. James N.
Sutton, mother of Lieutenant James
N. Sutton, of the Marine Corps, who
was killed in a struggle following an
automobile ride.
"I am now certain that Jimmy was
killed by blows struck by his COM
panions in the marine service. h
bullet was fired into his head after it
was seen that he vas dead. This was
done to bolster up the allegation that
Jimmy committed suicide, which my
self and daughter have all along de-
clared to be false.
After listening to the testimony OF
three men in the government service,
men who should hay been my sons
comrades, / am certain that a great
crime was committed. Personally ]
will be satisfied when ] lave proved
that my boy did not take his own
life. But what will the government
do? Is it not the fact that most
grave charges against some ont must
follow an overturning of the original
report of the first board? That is the
real reason the Marine Corps is max
ing such a fight in this second fnqui-
ry."
This outbreak on the part of Mrs.
Sutton followed the sensational tes-
timony of Lieut.. William F. Bevan
whose version of the tragedy is sc
widely at variance with the testimony
of Lieutenants Adams and Osterman
that it left the impression that Lieu
tenant Sutton, while self-slain, did
not commit suicide, as stated by the
other two young officers.
The young lieutenant graphically
described how the fallen lieutenant,
with three men on his PROSTATE body.
drew his right arm from under him.
and, while trying to fight the others
off, fired the shot that ended his life.
Despite this description and the other
features of Lieutenant Bevan's story.
the mother and sister of the slain
young officer say they will push the
inquiry with the same vigor that has
characterized their efforts heretofore
in trying to remove the stigma from
the family name, being confident that
the wound that caused death was not
self-inf1icted.
That Lieutenant Bevan' story will
be corroborated is believed today,
which will make the weight of evil
dence in favor of the theory that
Lieutenant Sutton killed himself and
in all probability accidentally. If the
members of the court of inquiry be-
lieve this to be true, the verdict will
be thu the young lieutenant came tc
his death from a self-inficted wound
differing from that of the first court
of inquiry which investigated ths
tragedy in that it was not ii case o.
suicide.

NHE career Of Theodore Roose-

"HE career Of Theodore Roose-
welt has been full of paradoxes,
but the greatest paradox of all
has now come to light. He is
trying to effact himself. He. the high
priest Of self assertion, has suddenly
become the worlds most conspicuous
example of self abnegation. 1t tran
spires that his chief reason for going
to Africa is that he may take himself
out of Mr.. Taft's way. Roosevelt
wants his successor to have a free
hand, to be his own president. He
will stop the mouths Of all those who
would place the brand '"T. r. on the
Taft administration. To make sure
that their mouths are stopped he will
betake himself to the most inaccessible
part of the earth's surface. He will
cut the wires with civilization and
bury himself for year in the African
jungle. It has been said that greater
love hath no man than this-that
man lay down his life for his friend"
but l am not sure. For man of
Roosevelt's type to efface himself for
a friend must be even greater sacri-
fee. ..
If this was really the determining
motive in the African trip, as friends
of Roosevelt assert, it is the greatest
thing he ever did. And for the truth
Of it we have not only their word, but
corroborative evidence. Indeed, the re-
