FDsest Teeth.

DR.. Louis Ortefy, of Manila, certainly
does give some of our people a hard
name. And he speaks by the book, be-
ing Filipino himself and acquainted
with all the tribes of these new acqui-
sitior5 OF ours. He was speaking of
teeth, and declared that the Igorrotes
have the best teeth in the world-better
Teeth than dental surgery and science
has ever found anywhere among the
known peoples of the world. But DIR.
Ottofy gives the Igorrotes a fearful
name, just the same. The reason for
their fine teeth, he says. is apparently
that the lgorrotes are the most primi-
tive, barbarian, uncivilized, and nom
Christian individuals now included in
the jurisdiction of the United States. I'm
like any existing examples of primitive
man, they are primitive without hav-
ing become degenerate. They live In the
most inaccessible region of Northern
LuZon, where they long ago acquired
fame as warriors and head hunters, de-
fled Spain, and managed to keep pretty
much TO themselves until the American
occupation. -
Since then they Have been studied
ethnologically and otherwlse. But they
are still as uncivilized as ever, and there
Is neither q white man nor Filipino
living in Bontoc. Contrary to the re-
port of careless historians, the Igorrote

Was 1t Hazing?

The War Department has been forced
by a determined mother to take up a
case which II had closed, and which 1t
is now dimly suspected was closed
hurriedly-much too soon, in fact. to
get much light upon II. Second Lieut..
James N. Sutton. of the Marine Corps,
was shot under mysterious circum-
stances in a lonely part of the Naval
Academy reservation. at Annapolis in
October, 1907 At the time a court OF
inquiry gravely declared that the young
Lieutenant had died by his own hand
of pistol-shot wound in the back of
his head which 1t would have been i'm
possible for him to have inflicted upon
himself. 1t was shown also that the
young man had but one pistol, and that
was found in suit case in his room,
after his dead body was discovered;
also no pistol could be found with
which he might have committed suicide,
so the theory to lay member would
be that young Sutton, after shooting
himself in the back OF the head. dying
instantly, took the pistol and put it
carefully away in his room, SO that
suspicion might not attach to him. The
fact that the wound was made with a
ball of different caliber from that which
he used in his own pistol did not count
with the court of inquiry.
The grief-stricken mother refused to
accept tIe VI tnc COui I, anu
has been working away with the energy
of all her frenzied heart to have the
case reopened and a new court to sit.
She has found lot of new evidence,
and it all goes to prove that the death
was probable murder, and that officers
at the Academy are involved-young
officers. Mrs. Sutton has got her new
court of inquiry, and she thinks that
she will be able to show that her son
was brutally done to death by an Off
Ger who deliberately picked a quarrel
with him
One of the strange features of the
case crops out now. that younger son
of Mrs. Sutton, Cadet Roland Sutton,
