TWENTY-FIVE PEOPLE SWEAR
MAYOR WAS INTOXICATED.
State Closes Its Case Against Mayor
Henderson Under the New
Cosson Law.

Marengo, Ia, Aug. 1S.-Mayor A. M.
Henderson preserved silence under
the testimony of twenty-five witnesses
who swore that they had seen him
intoxicated, and has not divulged the
sort of defense he expects to put up.
Attorney General Byers and County
Attorney F. ]. Kirby closed the states
case last night, before Judge Byron
Preston of Oskaloosa, and Mayor Hen.
derson will have an inning today.
Judge NJ. j. Wade of Iowa City,
who, with j. M. Dover appears for
Mayor Henderson, attacked the Cos.
son law, asking the court to dismiss
the states petition for the removal
of the mayor under the law on the
ground of its invalidity, claiming that
the legislature cannot provide for
summary dismissal from office with
out trial by jury of an officer elected
by the people. Judge Preston prompt
ly overruled the motion and the case
proceeded.

were several councilmen. Nose Fer.

H. H. Rhinehart, 'Ladd McFall, Joseph
Bruce, Thomas Stapleton and others
testified to the same thing.
Twenty-Five witnesses were exam.
ined and all but three testified to the
mayors unfortunate condition at diff.
ferent times.
The defendants attorneys content.
ed themselves on cross-examination
with trying to show extreme preju-
dice of the witnesses. The effort is
being made to show that there are
two factions, one of which is bitterly
opposed to the mayor.
The feeling ran very high here and
the court room was thronged all day.
The defendant has subpoenaed no wit.

sight, with bandaged head and carry,

he received recently.

acknowledged having murderously as
Saulted his aunt, Mrs. Clara Harris,
has confessed that on July 90 he muir
dered his cousin, Henson Poole, whose
decomposed body was found last Sat
urday in the cabin in which he lived
alone near Rockville. Harris said he
took two quarts of whisky and $50 in
money which Poole had.

of money with which to get away, his
thoughts turned to his aunt, Mrs. Har-

her home, but took it with her when
ever she left there. Sending her word
that relative was i'll and needed her,
Harris waylaid her in a field and al.
most killed her.

LOEB TO Sue UNION EDITOR
COLLECTOR OF NEW YORK RE-
SCENTS YELLED INSlNUATioN.
Publisher of Labor Journal in Which
Audit Story Appeared viii Ex-
plain Stiiings Matter.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Court pro-
ceedings by William Loeb. Jr., col
,ector of the port of New York, are
said to hang over the head of local
labor leader. Mr. Loeb has written
70 Samuel De Nedrey, editor of To-
cal trades union paper, protesting Wig
orously against recent article in the
paper stating that Mr.. Loeb contem-
plates appointing Charles A. Still
ings, former public printer, to posi-
ton of trust in the New York Gus
toms service, and which concluded
with the question: who was at the
head of the audit SYSTEM"
1t is understood Mr.. Loeb took Of
Tense at what he believes to be a
yelled insinuation that he was inter
ested in the audit system which was
inaugurated at the government print
ing Office by Mr.. Stillings, and which,
ultimately, was responsible primarily
public printer.
Mr.. Loeb intimates that 1t is his
intention to carry the matter into the
courts.
Mr.. De Nedrey says he was absent
from the city when the article ap'
peared in his paper, and does not
know how 1t got into print. In the
next issue of his paper be says there
will be an explanation, which, in his
opinion, will satisfy Mr.. Loeb. IF il
does not" he added, Il shall govern
myself according to the circum
stances"
At the time of Mr.. Stillings' dis
missal as public printer Mr.. De Ned
rey took an active part editorially in
discussing conditions at the big print
cry. He knows OF no basis, he says
for an allegation that Mr.. Loeb was
connected with the audit system, and
sees no reason to criticise him for his
attitude toward organized labor.

the President-Mrs. Taft Is
Restored to Health.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 18.-The as
sistant secretary of the treasury, Mr..
Norton, arrived in Beverly to-day to
take up some financial matters with
the president. There are number of
questions pending which might easily
account for his visit. For one thing,
Mr.. Norton has charge of the internal
revenue division, which will collect
the new corporation tax. The ques-
ton of the issue of Panama bonds
may also be taken up.
Mrs. Taft's return to health has
progressed so far that her sister, Mrs.
Lewis More of Pittsburg, who has
been her constant companion since
the nervous breakdown in Washing,
ton, will leave Beverly on Monday.
Mrs. Taft probably will remain in
Beverly until October /.

GRAB SEVEN FROM SEAS FURY
LIFE SAVERS ADD NEW VICTORY
TO LONG LIST.
Plunge Little Boat Into Roaring
Breakers and Rescue Sailors Off
Long Island.

New York, Aug. 1S.-Long island
life savers after six hours battle
added another victory against the sea
to their long list. Of remarkable res.
cues, when they brought safely to
land the captain and crew-seven
souls in all-from the three-masted
schooner Arlington of Boston, which
went ashore in the driving rain and
fog off Long Beach on the south shore
of Long Island.
The eighth member of the crew,
Madden Pierson, a Swede, put of
from the schooner on a raft with the
hope of reaching shore with line,
was swept out to sea by the tide and
lost sight of. 1t is believed that he
persisted. 1t was at first reported
that Pierson had been picked up five
miles to the south near Rockaway
Beach, but this was not borne out.
The rescue from the schooner was
witnessed by cheering guests of the
Nassau hotel at Long Beach and hun.

The schooner, heavily laden with an,
thracite bound from this port for
Mayport, Fla, struck a sand bar 300
yards off shore. Pounded by heavy
sea while terrific easterly gale was
blowing, she began to yield immedi'
ately.
Boats and life preservers went with
the first crash and the masts, which
bent to the gale and appeared likely
to go down at any moment, seemed
an unsafe shelter to the captain. He
and the crew accordingly climbed out
on the bowsprit.
TIE life savers worked frantically
but in vain trying to shoot line to
the wreck. The high seas and wind
made this impossible, but persever-
ance won the day. After six futile at,
tempts they succeeded in getting a
surf boat through the breakers to the
lee of the wreck and the rescue of the
imperiled sailors followed

SUTTON CASE IS
DECIDED TODAY
Court Holds That Lieutenant
Committed Suicide.
FINDING CLOSELY GUARDED
Secretary of Navy Received Report
Yesterday But Held II Until
Today-Much Interest
In Outcome.
FINDING CLOSELY GUARDED

Washington, d. c., Aug. Is. - An
nouncement was made today by the
navy department of the findings OF
The court of inquiry which has been
holding it's sessions at Annapolis to
ascertain the cause of the death OF
Lieut.. James M. Sutton, Jr., Of the
marine corps, at that place nearly two
years ago.
The board decided that Sutton was
killed by revolver shot fired by
himself without the intervention OF
others" The court adds:
mo possible charge of criminality
lies against any participant in the
fray except Sutton. Sutton is direct
ly and solely responsible for his own
death, which was self-inflicted, either
Intentionally or in an effort to shoot
one of the others. Death was not
caused by other injury"
The judge advocate general of the
navy, Capt. Edward H. Campbell, was
handed a copy of the findings Of the
court by Maj. Henry Leonard, the
Judge advocate of the court of inqui-
ry, who returned with them from An
napolis.
Capt. Campbell placed the result
Of the courts work informally before
Acting Secretary Of the Navy Win
Chrop. The latter and Capt. Camp
bell looked into the testimony care
fully and the findings thereon before
Lakinf final action.
Broad discretionary authority is CIV
en- the secretary of the navy in acting
on the findings of a court of inquiry,
and he may approve or disapprove in
whoel or in part, send the case back
for further inquiry, or order new
court il, in his judgment, the circum-
stances warrant it.
Findings in Manuscript.
In submitting its report the court
has followed an old time custom of
presenting the findings in manuscript,
and in this form they make FIVE pages
of legal cap. Just why this Anticipated
method is followed, instead of resort.
ing to the more modern and usual
practice in official communications of
submitting reports in typewriting, is
not known, unless 1t be to avoid the
necessity Of intrusting to some third
party the writing of the document.
Second to the verdict of the court
as to how Sutton met his death Is the
interest as to whether it will report
that SOM of the officers concerned
were shown by the testimony to have
been guilty of breaches Of the regula,
tions governing the marine corss, par,
ticularly as the time has not yet
elapsed-two years-in which punish
ment for such alleged attractions may
be melted out.

partially covered by insurance. The
