TODD SAW
 SHOT FIRED Sergeant Corroborates Con- tention of Lieutenant
 Sutton's Mother CORPORAL OF GUARD
 NIGHT OF TRAGEDY Says He's Ready By His Testimony to Clear the
 Blot of Suicide Shooting Game from Where Lieuts. Adams and Os- terman Stood
Especial from United Press.)

Boston, Aug 0.-Corroborating in almost every detail the contention of Lieutenant Suttons mother that he was shot at Annapolis by brother of ficers and practically accusing them of a conspiracy to hide the murder, Ser geant Archie Todd, corporal of the guard on the night of the tragedy, is here today ready and willing by his testimony to clear the blot of suicide from Sutton's name. Todd f1atly says Sutton's brain.
 Following the receipt of a telegram at the Charlestown Navy Yard that Todd was wanted to testify at the An napolis inquiry, the sergeant was To- cated at the State rifle range and will ingly told of the tragedy of October 12, 1907.
 q was corporal of the guard on the night that Lieutenant Sutton was midnight and from the place where was standing shortly after the hour had struck I saw a figure about 250 feet away, about the length of the bar as the man was in his shirt sleeves. I did not know then who it was. I saw Lieutenants Adams and Osterman and recognized them. They were nearer me. The man in the shirt sleeves started to run and I heard a voice cry, Stop running! You're under ar- rest
 ''The man ran on and once more heard the same voice cry out loudly, Stop running or I'll shoot The man paid no attention and ran on and in a moment T. saw a flash and heard a revolver report. There were three other shots and the man who was run ming dropped.
 'I ran over to him. It was Leuten- ant Sutton. I saw hole in the mans forehead where there was a ragged en- trance and a hole back of the left ear where the bullet came out clean"
 Could you identify the voice that called out twice to Sutton to stop as he was running away?" Todd was asked "I could not. It came from the direc- ton of the place where Lieutenants Adams and Osterman were standing"
 Did the flash of the revolver come from the same spot?" That I shall tell on the stand" was the reply.
 Sergeant Todd is about 2S years of age He has been in service since Mo- yember 1903.

 Hundreds of people called up the Wells residence yesterday. where MT. Curtis lay at the point of death. It was a mistake to announce that Dr. Brooks H. Wells was present on Sat urday when the operation of trephin- ing was performed. He is away on his vacation. The doctors had hoped to find the clot of blood upon the$sur- face of the brain and were disappointed to discover that it was too deeply seated to be reached. It was noticed that the inward pressure upon the brain was so great the pulsations Of that organ had ceased. The fatal re- suit was caused by original injury. It is supposed that when MT. Curtis was thrown from his automobile he must have struck upon his head, although dazed condition. he was sitting up, with his feet under the machine. He weighed some 200 pounds.
 He was born May IA, 1860 in New York. He had resided in Southport since 1S6S He is survived by a widow two sons, one of whom is B. L. Wells Curtis, who graduated from Yale last June. a daughter two years of age, his father. Lewis A. Curtis and his brother. L. B.

Especial from United Press.)

Hartford, Aug. 10.-The plans of the House minority as finally put together this morning did not include a motion to reconsider but featured the effort of Representative Whiton of New Lon don to get the minority public utilities bill in before the House in a form sufficiently changed to be in order. He succeeded in doing this and the House again voted down the minority measure by vote of 117 to 113 and re- cessed at TAO for lunch.
 Seldom has there been such an air of suppressed excitement as prevailed about the corridors of the capitol prev ious to the House session this morn ing. A large number of very active men from all over the State were about the lobby and the scene had the appearance of a political convention Many of the leaders of the Republican party and of the opposition were pres ent, among them United States Sena- tor Bu1keley.
 Following the prayer of Chaplain Countryman at the opening of the House session, Chairman Scott of the select ommittee on public utilities pre- scented the motion made by him last Thursday for the acceptance of the committee report and the passage of the Barnum public utilities bill The galleries were crowded at the time and all standing room on the floor of the
 
 motion for reconsideration of the vote against the minority bill did not come None of the members in the ma jority vote was willing to make It Following Scott, Whiton of New Lon- don played the first trump of the min- ority by moving to amend the Barnum bill by striking out all after the en- acting clause and substituting the minority bill in form sufficiently changed to make it new bill. The salaries of the commissioners iu the Whiton bill are raised from s4000 to S5,OOO, and the chief other change is the adding of a clause providing foI appeals -to--the- .courts~4<xI Ina. spiritef speech MT.

SERIOUS RIOTING
 THROUGH SWEDEN
Especial from United Press,

Stockholm, Aug. 10.-Serious rioting is reported today from many country districts throughout Sweden where the strikers are trying to get farm la borers to join the strike. It is right in the heart of the harvest season, and a. general strike of farm laborers would cause an immense loss of crops. Troops hurried from the capitol to- day to the most disturbed sections. Only the most meagre details of the disturbances in the country are known owing to the suspension of the news papers
 Several are reported to have been killed. There is no sign of a break in the striking printers ranks, and it is guess work when the newspapers will appear again.
 Gustave's recklessness in driving un- guarded through the city, even within the lines of the strikers strongholds. The King did this to relieve the public apprehension of danger from the strik- CTS. There is little Likelihood of the railroad employees walking out tomor- row, the date originally set for such action. In many respects the life or the city is normal and it is believed that the strike will be ended this week. The only thing that bids fair to pro- long the strike indefinitely is the hearty manner in which the strike is being supported financially.
 Labor organizations everywhere are responding to the appeal for aid and if the strike resolves itself down to a question of which side can hold out the longer, the strikers will likely win.

JAPAN IS INVITING
 NATIONAL BOYCOTT.
Especial from United Press.)

(Spt.CIdI ITOIIl OIIItVU TTVSS-J
 Tokio, Aug. 10.-Has Japan sacrificed commerce for her political ascendancy? This question is being generally asked throughout Japan today in view of the alarming reports from China that a national boycott will be declared against Japan if the latter persists in her determination to settle the An tung- -Mukden Railway dispute regard less of China'S protests.
 If China should declare a boycott against Japan it would be a stagger- ing blow to Japanese commerce as China is now one of the largest mar kets for Japanese goods. About a year ago a partial boycott of Japanese goods by China caused immense loss to Japanese merchants and forced con- sessions from Japan. Merchants are importuning the government not to act in such a manner as to result in a boycott.

FAVORS THE WIPING
OUT OF CHINATOWN
If Murder Does Not Cease Judge
Dunno Says Settlement
Should Go

In refusing bail to the Chinese. high
binders indicted for murder, Judge
Dunno said yesterday that he was in
favor of wiping out Chinatown if no
other way could be found to bring to
an end the bloodthirsty wars between
the antagonistic families.
The application for bail was made by
Attorney James NJ. Hanley, who is as
sociated with Grant Carpenter in the
defense of the accused men.
Assistant District Attorney Ward
said that he feared if the accused were
allowed out of custody there would be
further killings in Chinatown. He did
not seriously oppose the application If
satisfactory assurances were given
that the tong murders would cease.
1T is a very serious reflection upon
the authorities that such a state of
affairs can exist in Chinatown as we
have seen there lately" said Judge
Dunno. Murder seems to be a species
of amusement there. White men do
not seem to be able to put a stop to
it. For my part am in favor of wiping
out the whole place, if no other means
can be found of putting to an end these
murders
Tong King Chong, the latest of the
seven indicted Chinese to be arrested
was arraigned and pleaded not guilty
The case was set for trial January II.
The same date was set for the trial
of Gee Gong Gee Buck Kew, Ho Kim
Hew and Lee SCOT, who have also
pleaded not guilty.

The fnformations against R. e.

Older was tried more than a year ago
on a similar information and was ac-
quilted. The evidence in the cases dis
missed yesterday would have been
