or providing as an experiment, con-
crete drinking fountains along the pub

MARINE GUARD BOOK FOUND
WANTED IN SUTTON INQUIRY,
BUT HAD DISAPPEARED.
Pay Clerk Guilty Of ''Suppressing'
Evidence by Innocently
Sitting on It.

An interesting bit of aftermath OF the
Sutton inquiry is the discovery at the
marine barracks at Annapolis of the
missing guard report book, which was
sought high and low during the in
quiry.
This book was wanted because it con
tained the records of the sentries on
the night of the shooting. After a long
and futile search it was agreed by the
officers at the barracks that the book
must have gone to Port Royal, S. c.,
when the Marine School of Application
was moved there. But a few days ago
the book turned up.
One OF the venerable pay clerks at
the barracks was given new desk and
chair some months ago. The chair was
too low, so he sought to remedy the
situation. The guard report book look
ed good to him. 1t was several months
old and apparently of no Immediate
use
So the aged clerk put it on his chair
and placed over it a fine, soft cushion.
There the guard report book has rested
ever since.
1t was discovered by accident and the
old clerk is being joked about sup
pressing evidence"
