United Mine Workers Journal, has in
Cured not only the enmity of the largest
single union within the federation, but

The Journal charges that Gompers
was sent to Europe by the federation
with his expenses paid, and that the
result of his investigation abroad was
to be given to the lsboring men of this
country for their betterment. The
Journal states that II land other labor

illusions at 81 per letter per week, said
letters having been sold by previous
arrangements by Gompers to news

MORE WAR RUMORJ.

A dispatch from Saloniki says the
Turkish government has ordered out
1000 redifs in the territory of the sec.
ond army corps at Smyrna, and has con-
trscled with three steamship companies
for the transportation of troops and mu-
nilions of war. Great excitement pre-
walls everywhere.
A dispatch from OoDstsntiuople says
Greece has replied to the Turkish note
presented yesterday which, although
couched in friendly terms, practically
demands the recall of the Greek officers
serving in Crete. The Greek answer is
10 the effect that the question is in the
hands of the four protecting powers Of
Crete, with whose knowledge aud con-
sent the officers 10 question we're sent to
the island.
Turkey is appealing to the four pow.
era and inlimstes that her friendly re-
quest TO Greece will be followed, unless
satisfaction is obtained, by a more eDer-
getic demand. The report thst Turkey
has dispatched transports with troops on
board to Crete is denied, bat it seems
probable that the Turkish feet now
msneuvering 10 the neighborhood Of
Rhodes will proceed to Oretan waters.

The parish priests 10 the aeigbOrhood
of Perugia are not only leading the
movement, but they have issued a
manifesto denouncing the landlords aud
calling attention to the hard lot of the
lsbOrers.
The landlords have formed league
and are relsliating By bOycotting the
priests, stopping payment Of tithes to
churches and dismissing private chap
Iains who belong to the secular clergy
and employing the regular clergy, in
stead of the parocbial.
An appeal was made by the landlords
to the arch bishop of Perugis, MOnsignOr
Mattel. Gentle, to stop the agitation.
The archbishop replied that be approved

Investigating Sutton's Death.

Annapolis, Nd, Aug. 5.-When the
inquiry into the death of Lieutenant
James N. Sutton, of the marine corps,
was resumed today, Lieutenant Harold
r. U!ley, who has inst arrived from
Europe, YVES put upon the sand.
Ia its earlier portions, Utley's testi-
mony corroborsted that Of his brother
officers as to the beginning of the fatal
auto drive from Oarvel He'll on The night
OF October 13, 1907. He end several
officers, he aaid, met Sutton at the bar
of the hotel about midnight.
Sutton ssked them TO have q drink of
whiskeY, bnt they refused. Together
with LIeutensnts Ostemap, Adams aud
Sutton, the witness said, they later
started for the barracks.
He recalled hearing dispute in the
auto on the way to the bridge between
Adams and Sutton, he thought, and
then saw them leave the machine to
fight He advised poslponement.
"We'll settle 1t here" he heard some
one say. Adams, he said, was opposed
to pOstpOnement of the fight because be
was afraid Sutton would back out.
The witness then described the be-
ginning of the Sutton. Osterman fight.
The former, he said, struck Ostermad
from the rear and be aud Adams sep
arated them, so Osierman could prepare
to defend himself.
"The fight all went one way" said
Utlsy. "Ostermau knocked Sutton
down several times and finally threw
him on the ground. Sutton wrapped
his legs around Os;erman and Adams
and tried 10 pull them apart"
"Why did you do that ?" he WAS
asked.
"0sterman wouldn't strike him when
he WAS down and Sutton would not al
low Osterman to get up. We pulled
them apart so the fight could be finished.
Sutton finally refused either to get up or
to admit that he bad enough"
When he got up, the witness said.
Sutton ran toward the camp declaring be
would kill them all by daylight and
calling them vile names.
Next be saw Sutton in his tent with
revolver pointed ct Lieutenant Rocker.
He and Roelker followed Sutton ss he
started down the path sud when be came
upon Sutton be recalled that Sergeant
De Hfrt vas there trying to persuade
Sutton 10 give up his gun.
Then Sutton started toward camp
rgsiU, met Adams aud began firing
Rocker put his hand to his breast and
fell, Adams cried out that be was shot,
and developments followed fast
"The affair ended, the witness said,
In Adams throwing Sutton to the |
ground. Utley Oaid he ran up and
together With some one he didn't recog- |
nize, threw themselves on the strug-
Cling Sutton ss Adams arose. There
WAS movement of SnltOn's srm, a
fash and quiger Of the PROSTATE body,
