Sergeant of Marine Corps Tells
a Sensational Story
SAW DEAD OFFICER FALL
SERGEANT ARTHUR TODD CON-
TRADIcTs TESTIMONY OF or

suTToN's DEATH 49, MAY BE
SUMMONED AS A WITNESS.

Boston, Mass, Aug. 10.-In a state
ment attributed to Sergeant Arthur
Todd OF the United States marine
corps, and made public today, 1t is
said that IL ne should be called to
testify in the investigation Of the
death Of Lieut.. James Sutton, the
sergeant's testimony would be exactly
opposite to that given by Sutton's fell
low officers.
Sergeant Todd. who has been on
range duty at Wakefield, left early to-
day for Annapolis. In describing the
shooting Sergeant Todd says:
Il was corporal of the guard on
the night that Lieutenant Sutton was
shot, and from the place where I was
standing I saw a figure about $50
feet away. / saw Lieutenants Adams
and Osterman and recognized them.
They were nearer me. AFhe man who
was in shirt sleeves started to run,
and l heard a voice cry: Stop run
ming; you're under arrest
THE man ran on and once more
heard the same voice cry out loud
Iy: Stop running. or IN shoot
Heard Revolver Report.
THE man paid no attention and
ran on. The next moment 1 saw a
flash and l heard revolver report.
There were three other shots, and the
man who was running dropped.
IT ran over to MIN and bent over.
It was Lieutenant Sutton. I saw a
hole in his forehead, where there was
ragged entrance, and a hole back

out clean.
Lieutenant Rocker, who has been
so often mentioned in the case, came
into the guard room where l then was
shirt time before the shooting He
was with a private named Richardson
and they had a drink together At the
time of the shooting he was not any
where in sight.
"The next morning an enlisted man
found revolver on the ball field which
was not a regular service revolver,
but a 2-calibre affair"
Todd said at one time in the con-
versation that ne had the bullet him
self that killed Sutton, but later stat
ed that some one else mad taken 1t.
He refused to state finally whether
he knew where the bullet was.
Just Missed the Heart.
"Just after the shooting when I had
returned to the guard room, Rocker
came in all out Of breath and greatly
excited. He said:
my God, Archie, think I've been
shot"
"I laughed at him at first, but he
was so earnest about IL that felt in
his left hand outside pocket just over
his heart. There was a drill regula-
ton book there and the bullet had
becme mushroomed in the pages.
"Roelker was very excited when
pulled out the book and showed him
the bullet and the way in which his
life had been saved. He stripped down
to the skin and there was percept-
fble reddish ting just over his heart,
showing Just where the bullet would
have gone had the book not interpos-
ed.
Rocker and / talked the matter
over, and we agreed that ne must
have run into the fire OF bullets, ons
of which had killed Sutton. There
were four shots that l heard in ali
and one Of them, / am convinced,
struck Rocker.

why I have not been called to go

ATMOSPHERE Of
MARS STUDIED
ASTRONOMERS OBSERVATIONS
DO NOT PROVE NO LIFE EXISTS
ON THE PLANET-REPORT OF
DIRECTOR CAMPBELL.

San Jose, Cal, Sept. 16.-Director
w. w. Campbell, of the Lick observa-
tory, who announced several days
ago the result of his discoveries re-
garding the atmosphere on the plan
ct Mars,and who has just returned
from Mount Whitney, the highest
point OF land in the United States,
where his observations were made,
has completed a synopsis of the data
secured by the expedition. Director
Campbell In his report says:
"It had for its purpose a study of
the question of water vapor in the
atmosphere of the planet Mars. The
observations. made on the nights OF
September 1 and 2, were mainly
Photographic.
"The observer of Mars must look
up through the earth's atmosphere,
and the great quantity of water vapor
in our atmosphere, If the observer is
near the sea level or at an ordi-
nary altitude, blots out the effect
of any Marian vapor, making a solu-
ton Of the problem impossible.
"By ascending Mount Whitney, al
titude 14,5O1 feet, the Crocker expe-
dition placed itself above probably
four-fifths or more of the earth s
water vapor. Further, the air on
Mount Whitney was astonishingly
clear during the time of the obser-
vations. With barometer II 3-4 in
ches, air temperature 20 degrees
Fahrenheit, and wet thermometer
II degrees, students Of the atmos-
phere will recognize that the observ-
ers Of Mars were looking through
remarkably little terrestrial water
vapor.
Even this small quantity would
be almost fatal to success if we did
not have fairly satisfactory meth
cd of eliminating its effects, as fol-
lows:
"Our moon has no appreciate at
mosphere. The lunar and Marian
spectra will be affected alike by the
water vapors in the earth's atmos-
phere
These observations do not prove
that life does not or can not exist on
Mars. The question of life under
these conditions is the biologists
problem rather than the astronom-
er's."

STATE TAX LEVY IS
RAISED
CHELAN COUNTY PROPERTY AS.
SESSED FOR 41.01 PER CENT

PAY STATE TAX OF $71,4O9.

Olympia, Sept. 16.-The state tax
levy was increased today, when the
members of the state board of equal
ization discovered they had overlook
ed consideration of $4,000 appro-
priation from the state military fund
to build an armory at Bellingham.
The original levy for military pur-
poses was fixed Monday by the board
at fifteen hundredths of mill. When
attention of the board was called to
the armory levy the board raised the
military levy to the full legal limit,
two-tenths of mill, and this lacks
about $4,000 of enough to meet the
appropriations. The aggregate state
levy Is now six and seven-tenths
mills, as against four and eight
tenths last year. The total amount
to be raised by the levy Is $685.

Der will be largely increased as the sea-

warm as yet to create a large demand
for oysters. The fleet at present is OPP
arating near the Maryland shore, the
line extending from about two miles
above this point o the mouth Of the
Potomac.
on these bright October days it is
beautiful sight to see the mauy white
sails glistening in the sun and brought
into clear relief against the dark out
lines of the Maryland shore. There is
usually enough breeze to bring the white
caps to the waves, and with the white
breasted sea gulls skimming the waters,
it is a picture worthy of an artists
