NEVER MADE TO GIVE

So Declares Harry Schwartz, Navy Department Clerk,
to Whom Mother of Dead Lieutenant
Wrote Concerning Tragedy.

marine paymaster'; Office, whose name
was brought out in the Sutton hearing
today as the Washington man with
whom MIS-. James n. Sutton CORE
sponded concerning the manner in which
her son came to his death. declared to-
day that he was not forced, through
his connection with the Navy Depart

make no explanation of why he did
so. he stated.

The President IL so well pleased with
what he has already accomplished that
he has no idea Of shunting him into
the embassy to Great Britain However,
it is well worth while to state that If
anybody wants to make himself solid
with William Howard Taft. the best
way imaginable to do it is 10 send along

in the primary fight among the Demo-
Gratis for the Virginia gOvernoTship have
persuaded this Administration that now
is the time to make q good. strong
fight 10 boost the Republican vote in the
Old Dominion. In line with this, the
President viii have a conference with
Postmaster General Hitchcock at the
end of this week to determine the WAYS
and means for helping out the Repub-
ltcan governor in that State. It is not
believed that a Republican governor can
be elected. but 1t is thought that sub
stantial enough gains in the vote can be
made to materially and permanently
strengthen Republicanism there. 1t is
more than probable that several of the
party S most able campaign orators will
take a fling at the situation before the
campaign ends.

CHURCH AND STATE
AGAIN IS PROBLEM
Activity of Don Romolo
Murri Brings Mooted
Question to Front.

ROME. Aug. s.-The italian chamber
Of deputies is again involved in bitter
dissensions over the question of wider
separation of church and state, which
promises to bring about a situation
similar to that in France at the time
OF the passage of the French separation
law.
The situation Is made acute by the
radical position taken by Don Romolo
Murri. who occupies a unique position
IN the chamber of deputies, inasmuch as
he refuses to ally himself with any Of
the parties in that body and is the sole
representative of the National Demo-
cratic League. which he founded
He advocates q law something like
the French separation law. for the dis
tribution of ecclesiastical properties
under the care of the state TO religious
associations. He wants the state also
to guarantee freedom of instruction
His radical activities have bTOU Eht on
him from the church major excommu-
nicaticn But he refuses TO lay aside
his priestly Testments in spite OF pro-
test, and the church admits il is power
less 10 prevent him from so doing.

CONGRESS MAY LOOK
INTO SUTTON CASE

Whatever may be the result OF the in
huiry at Annapolis into the death Of
lieut. James \. Sutton it is now re-
Rsrded as certain that good portion Of
ehs case will be thrashed out on the
floors Of the House and Senate. and 1t
would not be surprising If the debate
resulted in having a Congressional In
Vestigation Of conditions existing at the
Naval Academy.
It became known today that a mem
Der OF the House. who is an able law
ger. has been following the case With
care and has arrived at the conclusion
that Congress cannot afford to permit
the death Of Sutton and the events IN
msdiately preceding # TO 90 unnOticed
with this In mind he has made rough
draft Of an amendment 70 the navy ap-
propriation bill which will be introduced
when that measure IS reported into the
House from the Committee on Naval

such that IL viii in all probability STIR

SMOKING CHINNEYS
ARE EASY TO STOP
Report of Geological Survey
Explains How 1t May
Be Done.

That smoke prevention is possible and
may be accom- plished economically is
shown by a report issued by the Geo
logical Survey oil the ''Smokeless Com-
bustion of Coal in Boiler Plants" a
copy Of whic.- was received today by
Commissioner MacfaTland. The Com
missioner says thst while Washington
plant OWneTE are generally complying
with the Law. they might benefit by
reading the reoort, which contains the
result of an Investigation of between
four and five hundred plants IN thirteen
Of the larger lilies.
The conclusions OF the report, in part,
are as follows
Smoke prevention is possible. There
are many types of furnaces and stokers
that are operated sm0kelessIy.
Any Kind of apparatus is effective
only il so set under boilers that the
principles % combustion are respected.
Good installation Of furnace equipment
Is necessary for smoke prevention
No one type Of stOker is equally
valuable for burning all kinds of coal
Although hand-fred furnaces can be
operated without Objectionable smoke
there is no hand fired furnace from
which, under average conditions. as
good results can be obtained as from
many different patterns of mechanical
stoker, and OF two equipments the one
which will require the less attention
from the fireman gives the better re-
suits"

name had been given out at Annapolis
as the recipient of letters which caused
him TO finally admit that he had re-
ceived the four missives from the
mother of the dead lieutenant.
That Mrs. Sutton may have written
similar letters to other navy officials,
which have also been turned over to
the department and may be read at
the naval court, came within the scope
of the possible this morning through a
question asked by Schwartz
Were any names besides my own
mentioned as having received letters
from Mrs. Sutonas' re inquired
When informed that no other names,
as yet had been mentioned. Schwartz
refused TO discuss further this phase of
the situation.

had written him the letters he would
make no explanation concerning why
she had done So He refused to explain
why -he had put the correspondence in
the hands OF the navy officials.

IN the fight on the Academy campus on
the night Sutton was killed. The adOp-
ton Of the amendment would put an
end 70 the career of the young officers.
Name Not Disclosed.
The member who proposes to intro
duce this amendment declines to permit
the use Of his name.
Il have just finished a firing session
with the tariff bin and I am going to
get some rest" he said. Therefore, I
do not wish to spend a summer CORE
spending about the merits Of this case.
I viii say, however, that nothing will
deter ne from introducing that amend
ment. II matters little to me whether
Sutton committed suicide or whether
he was murdered.
In the latter event the guilty parties
would be punished II the necessary evil
dence could be produced. That feature
OF the case is beside the point I am
going to make. These marine officers
cOolly admit that they administered d
terrific beating to a felloW-ofIicer. That

If my influence on the floor OF the
House IS worth anything they will

It is known that members of the
HOuse Committee on Naval Affairs are
considerably disturbed with the evidence
brought out. This evidence charges that
there IS startling amount OF fighting
going on al Annapolis. The charges
have not been made in a formal man
ner. but have been reiterated so often
that il would not be surprising If the
committee decided 10 conduct an in
vestigatiOn, or falling 10 do it Itself 10
request the board Of visitors to look
into the matter
Think Hazing Good.
Naval officers stationed IN Washing
ton are extremely frank in telling mem
bers Of Congress that the abolition Of
the hszing system at West Point and
Annapolis was a bad thing for the
cadets and midshipmen. They point
out that we'll regulated hazing vas as
necessary TO the building up OF a Young
ster's character as gymnasium work
was necessary for his physical develop
ment. The argument does not ind
much sympathy, but the naval Officers
never tire putting Il forth.
The older Officers are supported In
their contention by the last grz duating
class from Annapolis many o. whom
are now IN Washington. II was after
this class had been at Annapolis g year
that hazinE was abolished, so that It's
ion without being able 70 retaliate on
the incoming plebes. Many OF these
midshipmen now assert that thew DO
not regret the hazing they were forced
10 submit TO, and that the succeeding
classes at the Academy would be better
of If the practice were allowed IN a
moderate form.

Public school Notes.

School opens Monday morning
September 10th.
The law now requires children
between the ages of 6 and IA to
attend school at least three fourths
of the term, and also between the
ages of IA and 16, unless regularly
employed. The law also provides
for an attendance officer whose
duty it shall be to enforce the law,
to Investigate and if necessary to
make arrests.
1t is recommended that children
who r to be six years old during
the present school year do not
enter school until next September,
as they will then make as good
progress, besides having another
year before the close confinement
of the school room is demanded
of them; but they will be admit
ted at the opening of the school
if they are six before the first of
December, if such is the desire of
their parents, and those who are
six before the close of school will
be admitted January list.
There is a tendency on the part
of some pupils, and too often en-
couraged by the parents, to rush
over grades and into work too
difficult for them. The prepara-
ton has not been sufficient, in
terest is lost, and mental stagna-
ton is the result. Rather urge the
boy or girl to know we'll the work
of each grade. There is no need
of pupils becoming discouraged
because it becomes necessary to
take mp a subject the second time,
for he is then able to get more out
of it, and thereby becomes in-
terested and encouraged.
Let us learn to do things we'll.

G. e. Perry.

tDe Soto Republican,
We find the following in the last
months issue of the RailaUay Jour-
nal, published in Chicago. We
print it in full, as it concerns a
former De Soto boy, one who
started in life in the shops here:
He is a son of Edgar Perry, of
this city, and will be quickly re-
membered when we call his name
short. It's Ed: "Among the young
master mechanics who have prom
ised to be at the General Fore
mems convention this month is
G.. E.. Perry, master mechanic of
the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf,
with headquarters at Muskogee,
Okla. MI. Perry is an old time
member of the association and no
promotion in the railway field
would induce him to withdraw
from it. He has railroaded most
of his life and has held a number
of important mechanical positions.
Prior to going to the present posi-
tlon, Mr. Perry was division fore
man of the Frisco railway, and
had formerly been with the Illinois
Central and the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois, where he graduated with
honors." In his new position, Mr..
Perry has an opportunity to man
ifest his mechanical and executive
ability, and though he has been
with the company less than a year,
his record shows that he is "mak-
ing good" and that he is the Of
fetal for that position"
THE foregoing refers to the son
of our old "Tunnel Drifter," Ed.
Perry, we'll remembered by older
residents of the valley as the
greatest snare drummer who ever
lived in this part of the state.-ED.
