The naval court of inquiry that is to
determine if possible the cause of the
death of Lieutenant James N. Sutton
of the United States Marine corps Is
in session at Annapolis today. Had
Miss Mary Il. Stewart not tainted
when she learned of the tragic death
of Lieutenant Sutton on October l,
1907, the verdict of the court of in
uuiry that the young officer died by
his own nand might have passed un0
challenged. The Shock to the young
woman gave rise to rumors of a love
affair and jealousness, eliminating in
hints of foul play. Miss Stewart is
now in Canada and it has been explain
ed for her that her acquaintance with
the lieutenant covered but few days
and that the immediate effect upon
her by his death could be accounted
for because of her sensitive tempera-
ment. Nevertheless, Mrs James N
Sutton, mother of the young officer
mas demanded an investigation of his
death and the whole matter Will be
threshed out before the naval court.

MEXICAN PLOT LAID BARE
conspirators Hoped to Overthrow
Diaz-Junta at San Antonio.

Mexico City. July 1.-the arrest of
a number of alleged conspirators at
Fuerte, state of Sinaloa. has brought
Ito light a far reaching plot TO over
throw the existing administration of
Mexico. Papers found in possession
of Jose Terrell, one of the local lead
ers of the alleged revolutionist, are
ment.
The fact that large quantities Of
arms and ammunition were being
bought in Texas and Arizona and
struggled into the state of Mexico
came to the knowledge of the govern
ment authorities recently. II was by
tracing one of these contraband ship
ments that the identity of the conspir-
.ators at Fuerte was established.

In the second game played with the
North Adams team at a newly open
ed park in a retired spot on the Ben
nington and North Adams electric
road the balloon went up in the fourth
inning and the ascension was over
the visitors had scored six runs. This
half dozen together with the two
made in the second and third innings
gave the Massachusetts players a
lead-pipe cinch on the game.
Waters was largely responsible for
the scoring by North Adams, but his
ragged work was due to the fact that
he had a broken finger and should
not have been in the game at all. Inc
ground was soft and the infield hits
were dead and hard to handle. one
went through Carrie and another got
by Corey during the balloon ascension
inning.
Outside of the fourth with its five
errors on ground hits Bennington put
ND a creditable game against the older
and more experienced players from
the other side of the line. North Ad-
ans secured but one more hit off
Corey than the home team made of
Eastman. Ensign hit the Indian for
three base and Carl for two.

TAFT AND EXPERTS AGAIN
TUG WITH OLD PROBLEM
"What Is Whisky?" Asks the Pres-
dent, and Echo Answers
"What?"

WASHINGTON, June 29.-In the
sweltering heat of the cabinet room
filled with expert whisky men and law
yers, President Taft labored again to-
day with the question which the Roose
welt administration found so vexing
What is whisky"
The straight whisky" representative:
had their inning at the hearing today
They were John G.. Carlisle, former sec
rotary of the treasury, and Edmund w
Taylor, Frankfort, Ky. While they
agreed with Solicitor General Bower!
that neutral spirits is not whisky, they
directed their principal argument:
against the conclusion that neutra
spirits mixed with whisky may still be-
sold under the pure food law al
whisky.
They maintained that such a mix
ture is imitation whisky. Mr.. Car
Isle devoted most of his attention t.
reviewing the legal decisions in sup
port of his argument. One decision
upon which stress was laid was the
opinion OF Attorney General Taft
father of the president, to the effec
that alcohol was not whisky.

.PITTSBURG RAILWAY
TRAFFIC IS RESUMED
CITIZENS HAPPY WHEN CARS
AGAIN START
Poor and Rich Compelled to Walk
During Two Days Torrid Heat.
Thousands of Dollars
Loss Sustained

PITTSBURG, June 29.-Greater Pitts
burg is happy today in the realization
that it does not have to walk down OF
around town. Street railway traffic
was resumed at an early hour this
morning and regular schedules caught
up before z o'clock
The street car strike was declared off
officially last night
For two whole days, between pouring
rain and a sun which made wet clothes
steam, the residents of the Smoky city
struggled the best way they could
against poor shuttle steam trains and
poorer dray carry-alls. The poor man
walked, the well-to-do walked and the
affluent walked.
There was no alternative. The seri-
Gus side of the two days traffic dis
turbance lies in the loss to the car COM
pany in fares, the loss of wages to the
men, the loss of department store trade,
salaries for extra police, and the gen
erai Generalization of business condi-
tions throughout the city. 1t has been
estimated that Monday alone brought
the total cost of the strike close to
$250,000
The agreement made and signed by
the Pittsburg Railway company and
the Street Car Mems union last night,
it is predicted, will forestall any traffic
strikes in Pittsburg for years to come.
The union men claim they have
gained their points, while the car COM
pany people are just as strong in the
assertion that they stood firm.
Mayor Magee. however. smilingly
states that he believed all trouble be-
tween the company and its men had for
once and all been done away with.
On every hand is heard commenda-
ton for the Efforts of Mayor William
A. Magee. Through his efforts the
strike was amicably settled.
