THE SUTTON VERDICT.

The verdict of the S1lton court of iu-
q1iry made public from Washington
yesterday was Ist about what many
persons in Annapolis thought 1t would
be; though the general public cannot
conceive why some action was not t'ken,
even at this late day, against the officers
who were with Sutton when he died.
"RotieD," is the wsy that the great
mi ,rity ofihe people at the Maryland
capital express their views Of the whole
proceedings. While it was realized that
to arrive at a verdict other than that
rendered by the court was undouoedtly a
difflcnlt mstter iu the face of the many
COZ fic ing statements OF the events that
preceded the death of Sutton, yet 1t is
felt that some form of punishment
should have been imposed upon all
the officers concerned. 1t is considered
there by those who have followed
the case closely that the evidence
showed that Sutton was powerless
to defend himself against the psr:y Of
officers who were his admitted" enc
mics, and that Sutton was badly beaten
up 10 the 6st fight with Lieutsnsn' s
Adams and O,termsn before the fatal
shot was fred. Why the recolleetlons
of all the officers should have been go
clear az to details Of miner nature, in
striking contrast with their vague rec
objection Of the more important in
cidenis, is not understood.
President TAFT does not contemplate
any personal investigation of the csse ol
Lieutenant Satton. de seems likely to
depend entirely upon The investigation
and recommendations of the Navy De-
partmeut 10 the matter.
That is rather tough, lent ll?' said
Ms. Lose Sutton-Parker, the sister oil
Lieutenant SlttoB, when the verdict wss
read 10 her In Washington YESTERDAY.
"Bat cannot say tnat am surprised" "
she sdded. 'Neilher my mother nor
can say anything about the matter this
time" Mrs. Parker continued. While
they decline 10 discuss their plans, 1t Is
almost certain that Mrs. SIton and
Mrs. Parker will bend every effort to
have Congress make an investigation oil
the case.

weapon was still In her hand, and as
she was sanding over the PROSTATE
| form of her victim.
Miss Todd claims to have, met Wat
son seven years ago at an entertainment.
She says also that at the time she formed
an attachment for him which has con.
tinued every since, that sh9 was assured

In Pennsylvania Judge Stront. OF

tim of joke a few days ago while
presiding over a case. while many
apparently overlook the fact" he
said in charging the jury, under the
laws OF this State every game played
for a stake is gambling, whether it is
progressive euchre, bridge whist, dom
inoes, checkers or dice, and is a vio-
Jat1on Of law, and the participants are
liable to be indicted and compelled to
face the jury Immediately the
counsel for the defense, a practical
joker, exhibited a local newspaper
giving an account of a bridge party in
which the judges wife had taken a
part and won prize. The house, in
Guiding the court, laughed heartily.

My Dear Mr.. Weeks | return
ed from Washington this morning
and | presume that you have no.
ticed from the newspapers the ac-
ton taken by the Senate in the
matter of the exemption. The
Senate Finance Committee report
ed an amendment to the corpora
ton tax act exempting building
and loan associations without any
qualification whatsoever but when
the amendment was reported on
the floor of the Senate it elected
considerable discussion and it was
evident that number of Senators
was opposed to including within
the exemption national assOcia-
tons, and the language was finally
changed, after much debate, SO as
to read in the exempting clause
(after reciting number of other
corporations to which the act is
not to apply as follows: "Nor to
domestic building and loan associa-
tons organized and operated ex-
clusively for the mutual benefit OF
their members" I enclose herein
copy of letter which l am send
ing out today advising the differ
ent state leagues of the action
taken and asking their opinion as
to whether the language is salts
factory. My own judgment is that
the words are sufficiently broad
to exempt all local building and
loan associations which are doing
a legitimate business.
With kind personal regards, / re-
main,
Very Truly Yours,
