MRS. PARKER WILLING WITNESS.
Center of Attraction at Sutton Court of
 Inquiry Yesterday.

Annapolis. Md, Aug. 10.-Mrs. Rose Sutton Parker, whose testimony has been looked forward to as of surpass- ing interest in the investigation of tho death of her brother. Lieut.. James N. Sutton, IT,. on Oct. 13. 1907. was the center of attraction at the sessions of the court of inquiry today She took the stand smiling. was a willing wit ness and demonstrated clearly that her memory Of an interview with Lieuten- ant Adams shortly after her brother's s death was much better than was the recollection on the same points of Lieutenant Adams. His testimony as to what was said during this six-hour interview was very largely of the T do not remember" character
 Mrs. Parker was positive in her statements as to what was said and done. It was notable from her testi- mony that whether or not Adams and Sutton were friends, Adams and Mrs. Parker parted most amicably after a little dinner party lasting a couple of hours and ending about midnight at which Adams was one of Mrs. Parker s guests. It was, remarked today that Mir. Birney, counsel of Lieutenant Ad- ans, did not press Mrs. Parker 10 any extent on cross examination. lndeed. it may be said that this featuresof the day was a distinct disappointment, and Mrs. Parker expressed herself after ward as having been one of the most keenly disappointed. She said that she had expected to be able to- say a great many things to Mir. Birney that her own counsel could not bring into the direct examination.
 There was a period of recalling wit nesses. during which Coloney Doyen. commandant of marines. Lieutenant Willing and Lieutenant Adams again took the stand. The two first named cleared up points of minor importance. Lieutenant Adams was mercilessly grilled for a time by MT. Davis. coun- sel for Mrs Sutton. He was made to lie on the big table about which trc court sits and pantomime the firing of the fatal shot.
 In his demonstration he used an un- loaded service revolver and as he illus trated it the bullet must have entered Sutton's head at a very different point and from different direction than was indicated by Surgeons Cook and Pick ett As Lieutenant Adams pointed the revolver the ball would have probably come out of Lieutenant Sutton's fore heard farther back of his head. Sur geon Cook testified that the course of the bullet was downward and back ward.

Chamonix. France, Aug 10.-The balloon Sirius has succeeded in flying over the Alps. It left here last Sum day. under the pilotage of M. Spelter- inc, who had with him three passen- gers. Fears were entertained for the safety of the voyagers. but they have been dispelied by the receipt of re port that they have landed safely at point near Locarno at an altitude of 5.400 feet.

COL. A. A. POPE DEAD.
Pioneer Bicycle Manufacturer and One
 of First Advocates of Good Roads.


 Boston, Aug. 10.-col. Albert A. Pope, the pioneer bicycle manufacturcF Of the United States and well tnvw1 as one Of the first advocates Of the ex. isting good roads system. died at hin summer home in Cohasset late today. Colonel Pope had been. in ill health for months, due to the breaking diwg of his nervous system which followed the financial embarrassment of his bl- the kind in the country, which had itf headquarters at Hartford. Conn. Since July he had been seriously III and hif death had been expected.
 Albert Augustus Pope was born iu Boston May 20. 1s43. He attended tho public schools of Brookline and started his business career as clerk in . local shoe findings store at S4 per week. He served in the Civil war with mark ed distinction. At the close of the great struggle he was brcvetted iieu- tenant colonel of the Thirty fifth Mas sachusetts infantry for gallant con- duct.
 In 1876 the first imported bicycles began to make their appearance in this country and Colonel Pope. seeing an opportunity. decided to start man. ufacturing wheels in this country.
 The venture proved a success from the start. A craze for bicycling that even the high price of the early ma chimes could not stem swept over tho country and in the very first few years of his business Colonel Pope amassed a fortune. The sudden drop fin the cycle boom a few years ago. however. caused him financial embar- rassment. He was also interested in the automobile business He was director for many years in banks and other corporations He was a member of the Loyal Legion and Society of the Cincinnati. He had served as visitor on the boards Of Wellesly college and Lawrence Scientific school, Harvard.

House Kills
 Utilities Bill.
BARNUM DRAFT BAKED FORE
 AND AFT BY MEMBERS.
SENATE WILL PROBABLY CONCUR
Upper House Passed Resolution for Oyster Grounds conrnission-Gra-
 tuities Voted Newspaper Men.

Hartford, Aug. 10.-The public util- ities bill was killed by the house this afternoon through passage with only half-hearted opposition to definitely postpone the amended Barnum bill, so-called.
 Thus ended the attempt to pass a commission bill this season for all the senate has to do is to concur in the postponement.
 The day was an exciting one in the house and it was early seen that while the members did not want the Chand- Ter Whiton bill last Thursday they did not favor any bill such as the Barnum draft.
 Debate Lasted All Day.
 All the day until just before four O'Clock was taken in debate upon the measure and the Barnum draft was raked fore and aft by oratory from its opponents. Some of the speakers saw nothing good in it at all and when Representative Parker in the afternoon presented long amendment to it, putting in teeth" the house was only too ready to bring on the demise of the measure by taking on changes which entirely disfigured it. At the opening of the session no one in the majority vote of Thursday could be found to move reconsideration.
 Amendments Presented.
 Accordingly the Barnum draft was before the house, and an effort was made to disguise the discarded Chan dler- Whiton draft and tack it on as as an amendment. The speaker all lowed the amendments, owing to changes from the minority report This amendments gave a number of repre- sentatives the chance to debate and rrya- nrlx- f,r-A .foI1 vote was taken, by which the amend ment was defeated IF to 113 Then MT. Parker brought forward his amendment, but recess was taken be- fore it was read. After recess Mir. Parker went into lengthy discus sion of this amendment, to which the house gave attention. Then the pre- vious question was ordered, and MT. Scott said the amendment had some good features and some which were of unknown merit. The vote saw the amendment adopted. 103 to 94. Rep resentative Bishop immediately arose to move indefinite postponement and the previous question, and the latter being ordered 1t was voted amid ap- plause to postpone, which is equiva lent to killing the bill. Then to make the act sure, Representative Bishop moved to reconsider and asked that the motion be voted down, which was done
 Then the house adjourned, having done nothing else all day.

Charged with Larceny of $4O,OOO on Sale of
 Ohio Copper Shares Deposited as Security
COMMITTED TO TOMBS IN S5O,OOO BAIL
F. Augustus Heinze, Former Copper King, Had Turned Stock Over to the Windsor Trust Company as Col lateral-Persh, the Man Arrested, Man be Tool of Others.

Nv York, Aug. 10.-Donald l.. Perseh, an ambitious young financier, whose offices constituted merely desk room in a down town note brokers office, is in the Tombs tonight in de- fault of $500 bail, and thereby hangs a tale of tangled finance through which somebody in Wall street nipped F. Augustus Heinze, the one time cop per king, for s40.000. Persch is spe- officially charged with the larceny of s40,00 a profit obtained by the sale. of 15,600 shares of Ohio Copper com-' mon and 4,600 shares of Davis-Daly copper, which an agent for Heinze placed with the Winsor Trust com pany of this city as security for loan of S50,000. In some manner as yet unexplained the stock was not held by the bank, but was turned over to a clerk acting for Persch, and at the 'latters order thrown on the curb mar ket and sold for approximately $90.000. How Persch obtained the capital to carry through the deal and why the stock was relinqulshed by the truts company are points yet to be cleared up.
 Failed to Secure Reduction of Bail.
 After his arrest this afternoon Persch intimated that there were men higher up'' in the transaction, but he refused to say more upon the advice of counsel. He was arraigned late this afternoon before q magistrate, and after unsuccessful efforts of his lawyer to have bail reduced to S25000 was committed to the Tombs. although his counsel later procured a writ of habeas corpus, returnable tomorrow morning. His examination was set for Friday.
 In opposition to the reduction Of bail, Assistant District Attorney Nott, who is conducting the case. said to the court

 The other grievances are: That 1,770 pounds be tho standard weight of box of coal, as decided by the Patter sen board: that the price per ton be based on thls standard and the miners henceforth be paid by the ton; that schedule of prices be established for all kinds of work in and about the mines, and such regulations as are necessary for the proper government of mutual interests, and that there be e fair docking system.

was in charge. In 1906 he made trip over the Alps from Valy to France, carrying three passengers.
 A successful balloon trip over Mont Blanc and the Alps was made in No- venber, 1906. by two Italian aero nauts in the balloon Milano. The greatest altitude reach on this trip was 20,500 feet, and the rarified atmosphere made it necessary for the men to re- sort to their supply of oxygen to keep alive. The Milano, which went up from Milan, came down at Aix-les- Bains after having covered a distance of 115 miles in three hours.
 Record Height for Balloon.
 The record for height in a balloon would appear to belong to two Eng lishmen, Messrs. Coxwell and Glaisher, who in 1882 ascended to a height of 37,000 feet or about seven miles. One of them became unconscious at an elevation of five and a half miles. In 1875 M. Tissandier, a Frenchman. rose more than five miles into the air. He was accompanied by a friend who died on the way. A self registering balloon sent up without a passenger from Paris in 1893 reached an altitude of 52,490 feet.

YACHTS AT SEA.
New York Club Fleet Bound for Port.
 land, Me.

Chatham, Mass, Aug. 10.-Skirting Cape Gods elbow, then beating out to sea, the fleet of the New York Yacht club passed the last landmark here late today on the 152 mile run from East Chop, Vineyard Haven, to Cape Eliza beth. outside Portland harbor Sev- eral hours before sunset the last sail had become a mere speck on the hori- zon. With a northerly breeze of mod crate proportions, the shippers hope to beat up along the coast fast enough to enable them to cross the finish line off the Cape Elizabeth hghtship tomorrow forenoon. They will continue racing tonight.
 Headed by the yawl Vigilant, the yachts filed past here late this after noon. From the time the old cup de- fender rounded Pollock Rip lightship until she became scarcely discernib1e in the distance she gained steadily Next to the Vigilant were two large schooners, racing on nearly even terms. It was several hours before all had rounded Pollock Rip lightship.
 Two accidents marked the rounding of the cape. One of the big schooners whose name could not be ascertained carried away both topmasts, her jib- boom and her main boom and was forced to head back to Vineyard Ha- ven. Another split her foresail and hauling 1t in, proceeded under short ened canvas.

 The court agreed with him.
 Arrested as an Aeeompliee.
 Persch was arrested on the strength of statements made by John Sherwood. another note broker. who was called to the district attorneys office this morning. He said that at Persch's re- quest he procured the securities from the trust company after having ob- tained the $50O00 for the purpose from l.. J. Fields & Co.,, dealers in curb stocks. He thought the transac- ton was entirely legitimate and was ready to act for percentage. He ex- hiblted orders from Persch to redeem the securities and to put them on tho market Three hundred dollars was paid to Fields & Co. for the use of the money. l.. J. Fields of the firm maintained that their part in the af- fair was a regular business transac- ton.
 Mysterious Feature of Case.
 The foregoing features of the case seem to be plain enough, but behind them is the mystery of how Persch knew when and where NJ. M. Joyce. representing F. Augustus Heinze. placed the securities. It is consid- cred coincidentally by the district at torney's office that Persch had his desk room in the offices of W. l.. Clark. a note broker. who first directed Mir. Joyce to the Windsor Trust company for the purpose of obtaining the loan.
 District Attorney Jerome took ac- tive charge of the case today and oth- CT arrests may be made tomorrow.
 Persch, according to the police. has been arrested twice before. once on a forgery charge. made at the request of his father, and another time in con- nection with taking subscriptions for an ice fund. Both charges were drop ned.

 Perhaps the most interesting evil dence given at the inquest today was that of the two coroner's physicians, who testified that parts of the face of the dead girl were in such condition as to establish that the murderer wis, ited the scene of the crime twice and that the body was exposed to daylight for some time.
