Mr.. Davis got Utley to admit that he did
not know Sutton in the naval academy
before he Joined the marine corps and
then wanted to know if Utley meant he
had taken a dislike to Sutton merely on

disliked Sutton ''as far back as academy
days"
The witness said he had heard things
about Sutton at that time which made
him feel that he did not care to know

Sutton. The witness said he might have
hazed him and not known #, as he had

Witness Not Positive.

While Utley said he was under the i'm
preston at the time of the shooting that
Sutton in the heat of the struggle with
him and other officers who We're attempt
ing to disarm Sutton, directed the shot
against himself, he was not nearly as
positive about the suicide theory as the
preceding witness. Under cross-examina-
ton he admitted that he was reaching for
Sutton's hand to disarm him when the lat
ter freed his arm from beneath his chest
and the revolver flashed.
Utley was senior officer in the party
that were with Sutton on the night in
question.
Mr.. Davis frequently logged the wit
ness memory for the testimony he gave
at the inquest, but Utley pleaded a lapse
of memory over the interim of two years

REACHED
IN STOCKHOLM
Shortage of Food at Capital of
Sweden on Account of
the Strike.

Stockholm, Aug. 5.-StockhoIm today is
suffering seriously from a shortage of
food, which so far is the most notable re-
suit Of the labor conflict that reached its
acute stages the beginning of this week.
The stock of bread already is almost ex-
haustcd and meat is scarce and expen-
siVe. The restaurants have raised their
prices. and the figures today are prohibit
tive except for persons possessed of am
pie means.
The strikers themselves are living prac-
ticaIly on fish. Thousands of them are
camping out, some in tents, but many
without shelter on the shores of Lake
HaIar and the islands of the archipelago,
where they spend their time in angling.
The authorities have taken charge of
the military supply of the city, and sol
diers are distributing milk in liberal guam
titles and supervising the sale from milk
cars at the railroad stations. The de-
liveries Of ice have ceased. This Is es-
pecially trying, as the weather is unusual
" warm.

Paupers as Grave Diaaers.

Paupers from the state pOorhouse have
been enlisted to replace the striking grave
diggers and undertakers, and instead of
hearses stretchers are being used 20 carry
corpses through the streets to the GEM
eteries.
The funerals proceed under military es-
cOrt The employees of the gas works
and the electric light plants have gone out
on strike, and as a result military guards
have been placed over the establishments.
The authorities contend that this plan
is necessary and assert that last night
they frustrated an attempt to blow up
the gas works with dynamite. A gun
boat has been stationed opposite the gas
works. and no boats are allowed to pass
between it and the shore.
A battalion of grenadiers from LinkOp-
ing and a detachment Of go men from
the Vestergotlaud regiment have been or
dered into Stockholm.

Maximum and Minimum.

1.-THE authority of the president to use
agents to assist him in applying the
maximum and minimum sections of the
statute, and TO enable officials to admin
lister the law, gives a wide latitude for
the acquisition, under circumstances IA
vOrable to its truth. of information in re-
spect TO the price and cost Of production
of goods at home and abroad which will
throw much light on the operation of the
present tariff and be of primary impOr-
lance in the way of officially collected
data upon which future executive action
and executive recommendations may be
based.
"The corporation tax is a Just and equi-
table excise measure which ii is hoped
will produce a sufficient amount TO pre-
vent a deficit and which incidentally will
secure valuable statistics and information
concerning the many corporations Of the
country and will constitute an important
step toward that degree of publicity and
regulation which the tendency in corporate
enterprises in the last twenty years has
shown to be necessary"

TAFT'S VIEWS
REGARDING THE

Not a Perfect Measure and Not
a Fulfillment of RepubIi-
can Promises.
SOME REAL DECREASES
FROM EXCESSIVE RATES
PRESIDENT REGARDS THE COR
PoRATIoN TAX AS A JUST AND
EQUITABLE EXCISE LAW.

Washington. Aug. 5.-President Taft to-
night gave out a statement embodying
his views of the new tariff act. He sup
ported it as a sincere effort for down
ward revision.
The statement follows:
4 have signed the Payne tariff bin
because I believe it TO be the result OF
sincere effort on the part of the Repub-
lican party to make a downward Tevis-
ion, and to comply with the promises of
the platform as they have been generally
understood. and as 1 interpreted them i'm

What Taft Believes.

This is not a free trade bill. 1t was
not intended to be. The Republican party
did not promise to make a free trade
bill. It promised to make the rates pro-
tective. but to reduce them when they eX-
ceeded the difference between the cost of
production abroad and here, making al
lOwances for the greater normal profit on
active investments here. I believe that
while this excess has not been reduced
in a number of cases, in a great majority
the rates are such as are necessary to pro-
tect American industries but are low
enough in case Of abnormal Increase OF
demand and raising Of prices to permit the
possibility of importing the foreign ar
ticles and thus to prevent excessive
prices.
1.-THE power granted to the executive
under the maximum and minimum clause
may be exercised to secure the removal
OF obstacles which have been inteTpOsed
by foreign governments In the way OF
undue and unfair discrimination against
American merchandise and products
THE Philippine tariff section I have
struggled to secure for ten years past
and it gratifies me exceedingly by my
signature to give it the effect of law.
L am sure it win greatly increase the
trade between the two countries, and il
will do much to build up the Philippine
islands in a healthy prosperity.
1.-The administrative clauses Of the bill
and the customs court are admirably
adapted to secure a more uniform and a
more speedy final construction of the
meaning of the law.

Since the death OF his wife the aged
man had been making his home with "a
son, Charles at 75S East Third South
street Together they had been keeping
bachelor quarters. He had been fin the
habit Of making periodical visits TO the
home Of his two daughters, however.
On reaching the house yesterday he

all right and found him awake. She asked
if he were hungry and he said he would
like a glass of cold milk, which she

about o'clock.
BODY is Discovered.

the shed she fell ir a faint.
Mr.. GulDransOn was a native Of Nor

about his neck was of the kind tied by
sailors and produced almost instant

Promises Not FuIIy Kept.

This is not a perfect tariff bill, or a
complete compliance with the promises
made strictly interpreted, but q fulfill
ment free from criticism in respect to q
subject matter involving many schedules
and thousands of articles could not be
expected. 1t suffices to say that except
with regard to whisky. liquors and wines,
and in regard to silks and some high
classes of COttOns, all of which may be
treated as luXUries and proper subjects
of a revenue tariff there have been very
few increases in rates.
There have been a great number Of
real decreases in rates and they constitute
a sufficient amount to justify the state
ment that this bill is a substantial down
ward revision, and d reduction Of excess
i've rates.
