verses, entitled 'Reverie," were COM
posed by Lieut.. James n. Sutton shortly
before his tragic death Though admit
ting he was no poet, the youth loved to
write verse.
mo boy could ever have killed himself
who wrote these lines said his mother,
in giving permission to print them.
Thought is my hobby. pastime and pleasure
In moments of rest, recreation and leisure
Dearer to me than words can express
Are hopes and ambitions i mentally caress.
Wild flights of fancy. my self, / condemn,
But fancy with reason we all can commend.
The true source Of pleasure with all of my kind
Is physical health and unbranded mind.
Often think OF the things that might be
Distressing myself. while yet | am free
But try to consider the present mine:
The future. / grant belongs to old Father Time
By the past | must profit and make the way clear
For the things of the present and future so dear
My mind may have limits. but these I'll extend
Till my thoughts shall not have similar trend
Troubles and sorrows are apt to creep in.
But over these in the end j sure to win.
From all the foregoing ! am bound to receive
Much greater comfort, and myself not deceive.
For IL deception practice. no matter what form
'Tis bound to return and in the end be thorn.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 12.-Frank d. Goodale,
the hoy aeronaut." came over to Man
haitian from the Palisades this morning,
travelled down. or rather over, Broadway
as far as Long Acre Square, and after
making three or four circles high above
building at Broadway and 42d street
started for the New Jersey shore. The
appearance of the fifty-eight-foot cigar
shaped dirigible balloon actually aroused
the interest of the blase Broadway crowd.
Hundreds of necks were craned watching
the maneuvers of young Goodale.
The navigable balloon rose from the
Palisades Amusement Park, opposite 13Oth
street. a S:45 o'clock. After ascending
to great height Goodale turned the bow
of his craft eastward and crossed the
Hudson. His trip downtown and back
home took exactly an hour. The weather
conditions were ideal for aerial naviga-
tion. There was hardly a breath of wind.
Today's trip was the longest ever made
by Goodale.

Cadet Sutton Was Hazed
for Stopping Ice Cream Spree

NEW YORK, July Eff West Point
cadet does not believe in permitting upper
class men to assuage their taste for lem
onade" and ice cream at a pleasantly
situated rendezvous on the banks of the
Hudson, he should take warning from the
fate Of Rodando Sutton, the victim of the
latest hazing outrage at the Military
Academy.
1t was learned yesterday that the rea-
son Sutton was so badly hurt while doing
sentry duty was because he had inter-
fered with one of those nocturnal soft
drink parties.
Sutton Holds His Tongue.
Young Sutton himself has resolutely re-
fused to talk about the affair. Even his
| mother, Mrs. James N. Sutton. the death
of whose other son at Annapolis is soon
to be reinvestigated by the government,
could not extract from him one word of
the story.
Elsewhere, and from highly authori-
| tative source, however, it was learned
| that the hitherto mysterious reasons for
the hazing Of young Sutton were these:
Sutton. first of all, is "plebe,'' and,
like many another cadet in his first year
at West Point, has high ideals of mill
tary discipline He was assigned to SEN
try duty at lonely post. past which
there leads path to a candy and soft
drink ''parlor," popularity known as the
"BOOdler."
Bars Way to "Boodler."
He was suddenly aroused from his med
| itations by the chorused cry, Let us
pass. We are going to the 'Boodler.' -
The young cadet. however, was reso-
lutte. He did not believe that the dis
| cipline of the academy should be waived.
no matter how badly any upper class
man might want dish of ice cream at
midnight.
| 1t Is understood that he acted with such
potent moral effect that the lemonade
party retired to their tents. But they re-
| treated it is said, with vows of revenge.
Accordingly, at the very next opportu-
| nifty, they made another call upon the
lone sentry. They came at midnight, and
| this time about twenty strong. all robed
| in the traditional dress of ghosts.

Hide Men Make. Final Stand.


Hide and leather men are making their
final stand for free hides. They are work
ing at the Capitol and at the White
House. Today the President received
Braxton w. Campbell of Cincinnati and
A. H. Vogel Of Milwaukee. president of
the Free Hide League of the United
States. and large number of those in
terested in the hide and leather business.
The visitors told the President that they
hoped he could see his way clear to use
his influence to have hides put upon the
free list.
They declare that under the operations
Of the present law their industries have
suffered and they are now confronted
with q serious condition in the monopoly
the beef trust Is beginning to assume
over the hide business. They declared
that the packing houses have gone into
the operation Of tanneries and are getting
in position to control the value OF hides
and feathers made from them. Owing
to the existing tariff, it was declared,
the prices of hides in the United States
today are higher than ever before in
history and If the Senate tariff becomes
law all the products Of leather will
reach such abnormally high prices that
the consuming public will feel that they
are paying tribute to one OF the biggest
trusts of the country.
The Senate tariff will act as a subsidy
to the packers, it was declared.

the President today, said that the Presi-
