BECAME CRUsoE FROM CHOICE
British Explorer Discovers Solitary
Tar Who Enjoys Life Ruling
Over Lonely Island.

The homeward voyage of the MINI
petition, has been marked by the dis
covery on Macquaire island, nearly
600 miles northwest of New Zealand,
of modern Robinson Crusoe-a soil
tary inhabitant with two dogs.
The Nimrod, under the command Of
Capt. ]. X. Davis, left Sydney on May
s, and, says Reuter-, in accordance
with Lieut. Shackletons instructions,
proceeded south in order to visit Mac
quaire island and search for certain
charted groups of islands, the actual
existence of which was doubtful. Mac
quaire island was discovered in the
early part of the last century by a
colonial sealing vessel. 1t is FL miles
long and five miles broad and is the
home of countless myriads of pen
gums, sea birds and seals.
A visit was paid to the southeast
point Of the island and some speci-
mems collected, ard then the Nimrod
proceeded along the coast northward.
AS she drew near Nugget point, from
which reef of rocks extends for
some distance seward, two huts were
seen on the shore and also the wreck
of vessel high and dry on the beach.
In his report Capt. Davis says:
Suddenly, to our surprise, column
of smoke rose from the smaller of the
two huts. AS we had heard nothing of
anyone living on the island, this was
extraordinary. Presently, with the
glasses, we could make out the figure
of man standing at the door of the
smaller of the huts watching our ap-
proach. We came to anchor, and the
boat was lowered and headed for the
shore.

beach, accompanied by two little dogs.

TELLS OF ANTIDOTE
FOR BOSS POISON
George A. Van Smith Talks Be-
fore Church Federation on
Direct Primary

The Direct Primary Law and the
Fight for Its Enactment" was the sub
ject of an address delivered last night
before the San Francisco church fed
Grafton by George A. Van Smith, po-
litical editor of The Call.
In addition to an explanation of the
provisions of the direct nomination,
law. which viii have its first test in
San Francisco August Il, Van Smith
told the story of the three years con-
test which began with the successful
hgnt for the Incorporation OF a direct
primary plank in the 1906 republican
state platform, made by General Man
ager c. w. Hornick and Managing Ed
itor E. S. Simpson of The Call.
TELLS STORY OF LONG FIGHT
Van Smith was brought to California
to make The Calls fight for the enact
ment of a law which would give to
the people of California that political
freedom enjoyed by states of the Mis-
sissippi valley and the south. His story
of the long fight carried through two
sessions of the legislature was an un-
impassioned recital of the tactics en-
ployed by friends and foes of the di-
rect primary in the fight for the con-
stitutional amendment in 1907, and for
the enactment of the primary law in
1909
He said that the men who were
fighting for an honest and comprehen-
sive direct primary election in Cali
fornia had more difficulty overcoming
the efforts of ignorantAor false friends
of the reform than they had in de-
feating the plans and forces of the
machine charged with preventing the
enactment of the law.
NOT CHANGED BY MACHINE
Van Smith denied emphatically the
soreheads' claim that the Herrin ma
chine forces in the legislature had
emasculated the direct primary bill or
injected any improper provisions into
it, He denied further that the Herrin
machine forces in the legislature had
put anything into the bill or taken
anything out of 1t, as had been
charged by men and newspapers posing
as friends of the measure, but work
ing all the time to encompass its de-
feat.
He declared that every change made
from the text of the original bill was
either drawn or approved by Senator
Leroy A. Wright and himself before
ii was put into the bill, with the ex-
ception of two trick amendments
framed in the assembly committee on
elections. which were stricken out by
the committee on free conference
Van Smith said that in the direct
primary election law the people of
San Francisco and California had an
effective antidote for the political boss
poison The responsibility for the ap-
plication of that antidote was upon the
people.
free discussion of the new law
was brought about by the speaker S
requests for questions touching the
provisions of the law and the rights OF
electors.

SAYS SUTTON NOT
AGGRFSSOR IN FIGHT
Witness Asserts Lieutenant
Adams Insisted on Having
Fistic Combat
Doctor Declares Fatal Wound
Located Back of Dead
Mans Right Ear

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, July 26.-Today's
session of the board of inquiry inves-
tigating the circumstances surrounding
the death of Lieutenant James n. SUIT
ton of the marine corps, who was mys-
teriously shot two years ago, afforded
some surprises in the testimony given
by Charles W. Kennedy, now private
in the marine corps at Norfolk, Va.
and Surgeon A. D. Mccormick, U. g. N.
Kennedy told frank, straightfor-
ward story of some of the incidents
prior to the shooting. His testimony
supported the contention of Sutton's
mother and sister that Sutton did not
seek the fights with Adams and the
other officers.
In attacking his credibility. Major
Kennedys record and showed he had
been disciplined on several occasions
in the service.
TOLD TO "1EEP QUIET
Kennedy said he had been reluctant
to mention his part in the affair. be-
cause Lieutenants Utley and Adams had
both admonished him to keep quiet"
On his way to relieve sentry at
o'clock on the morning of the shooting
he had come upon Sutton, Adams, Os-
terman and Utley IN an angry argu-
ment, the witness said. Adams was
in his shirt sleeves ready for fight.
"All right, Adams. if you want to
fight, I'll fight you.'> the witness tes-
titled he heard Sutton say. "They
fought hard for few minutes and
Sutton's face was bloody when Utley
stopped the fight
He said he saw the two fight again
as he was going to his post Half an
hour later Kennedy heard the shots,
and soon after Adams appeared and
volunteered the information to Ken
nedy that Sutton had shot himself and
that Adams had had his finger shot off.
SAW PISTOL PICKED UP
Utley also told him Sutton had killed
himself, the witness said. Next morn
ing they both cautioned him not to say
anything about the affair. While at
early drill next day the witness said
he saw Lieutenant Utley go to the edge
of the parade grounds and pick up
service revolver, which Utley carried
into the barracks with him.
Kennedy's testimony was not shaken
on cross examination.
DR.. Mccormick was present at the
autopsy held on Suttons body and ex-
amined the bullet wound, he testified.
He located the wound back of and
slightly above the right ear, while DR..
Pickell testified it was near the top of
the head.
Several former witnesses denied that
any of them had handed a revolver to
Sergeant De Hart on the night of the
shooting, as De Hart testified.

yesterday afternoon after her boat cap
sized in Stow lake, she would have
been little the worse for the accident.
She believed, however, that she had

almost drowned in her frantic efforts to
swim.
One of the attendants perceived her
plight and walking into the center of
the lake placed her on her feet and
assisted her to shore.
Mrs. Hughes had gone to the park
with number of friends and they
were rowing leisurely about the water
when the accident occurred. Mrs.
Hughes was alone in the craft and had
