know moments rest on earth. Why should they?"
 Mir. Birney demanded to know up- on what evidence Mrs. Sutton based the foregoing accusations. She replied that the testimony to her mind proved it. together with certain letters that she had in her possession.
 Criticised Removal of Officers.
 She asked Swartz/t to make a con- fidante of no one unless he was sure to whom he spoke saying that she did not want anyone to suspect any thing until she was ready. She crit icised the fact that the officers fol- lowing the tragedy had been despatch- ed to different poses.
 q cannot understand why everyone cannot see they are trying to hide the real crime and protect those men. If we cannot get justice through the courts, every newspaper in the United States shall view these facts as we have them and then see what the opinion of tine world will be-
 The fourth letter was dated May Is. In it Mrs. Sutton told of having re- ceived a letter from young Owens, the chauffeur. and said that she would inclose copy of that letter to Swartz.
 Thinks Adams Started the Fight. You can see from that" she said, that Adams sat on the front seat. suppose he thought by stopping the car it would start a fight and when he found it would not he started at Jimmie, anyway. I firmly believe it was Jimmie who called Sentry when he saw owens leaving and realized what those wild beasts were up to; and I suppose the blow in the fore head was what silenced him. Speaking of hazing at tee acad- emy he used to say. You are per fectly safe out on the grounds. for if anyone jumps you, all you have to. do Is to call a sentry That is why | believe it was Jimmie who called when he saw what they were up to-
 She enclosed a copy of the letter which owens had written which was in line with the testimony Owens gave upon the stand.

INVESTIGATING SALE OF STOCK.
Supposed to Be Locked in Vaults at
 Windsor Trust Co.,, New York.

New York, Aug. 9.-John A. Young, president of the Windsor Trust com apny of this city. Sterling Birming- ham, head of the institution's loan de- partment. and Charles Katz. president of a Brooklyn brewery, were called to the district attorneys office in the course of an investigation started to- day at the request of an attorney rep resening F. Augustus Heinze to ascer- tain how 10000 shares of Davis -Daly and Ohio Copper company stock ap peared on the curb market recently, when it was supposed to be locked securely in the banks vault where it was placed by a broker acting for Heinze as security for loan of $50,- GOO. The stock is valued at $100000. .
 Counsel maintains that the trust company was acting merely as an agent in placing the loan and was therefore not responsible for the stock, while Heinze's lawyer asks for an in vestigation on the ground that it con- stitutes larceny to hypothecate the stock deposited for a loan when # was knowingly provided that the col lateral should be retained simply as security. And it was with this under standing that the stock was deposited, he says.
 Heinze. who thought that his stock was held by the bank was dismayed recently to find it at the mercy of bears on the curb
 He came into the possession of the originals as placed with the trust company and a representative of his immediately called at the bank and endeavored to discharge the loan witii interest, only to be informed that the stock was not there.
 The case had not been cleared up today. although it came out that the $50 900 was furnished by MT Katz and an associate for whom the bank acted as agent. receiving a bonus of LOGO, t is said. The district attor- ney's office has not decided whether any criminal action can be taken.

EFFICIENCY TESTS
More Sweeping in Treasury Than in
 Other Departments.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The wave of efficiency tests, which started under Secretary Nagel in the department of commerce and labor, has struck the treasury department, where it is to be even more sweeping than in other de- partments.
 Before leaving the city for his sum mer home in Dublin. N. H.. Secretary MacVeagh appointed three assistant secretaries as committee to carry out the tests.
 Cards have been sent to every en- ployee and to every chief of division. Each chief will make a report con- corning his employees and each en- ploye will make a report concerning himself or herself. The cards cover a host of subjects, including the quantity and quality of work per- formed by each employe and the character of appointment under which each one labors. It is believed the test will result in the introduction of labor saving economies and that some prac- tical theory of promotions may be worked out.
 Many appointees of the treasury de- partment obtained their places through political influence and in their behalf promotions have frequently been urged. greatly to the annoyance of the officials. When an instance of that kind comes to the notice of the secretary of the treasury now, the chief of the employees division will receive a letter as follows:
 Please say to John Doe that 1 am confident he is not responsible for the large number of persons visiting the department in the interest of his pro- motion. because lie is doubtless famil- far with the executive order on that .l-. a1-s
 The order in question was Issued by former President Roosevelt and forbids employees to use outside infiu- ence to gain advancement

LINCOLN PENNIES FALL CONE"
Notice Posted at Treasury Depart nnent-Newsboys Reapins Harvest by Their Sale.

Washington. Aug. 9.--The supply of the new Lincoln pennies bearing the three initials of the designer has been exhausted so far as distribution at the treasury department is concerned. The word that they were "all gone" was issued shortly before the treasury building was closed today.
 Immediately the bulls of the juvenile curb market outside ran up the price. From three for a nickel the figure jumped to two for nickel, a nickel apiece, four for a quarter and a dime apiece. Some asked as much as 25 cents each and refused to take less.
 Since Secretary MacVeagh decided on last Thursday that V. D. Brenner. the designer of the new penny had given too much prominence to his initials and ordered that the coinage should cease until the die could be re- cut, the newsboys have swarmed about the building. securing as many pennies as they could get. They. had lively trade outside and every day saw more and more young brokers engaged fin the business
 Nearly a hundred messengers and newsboys were in line when the last w. D. B. was paid out today, many of them who had either sold short and had to have pennies to cover their sales or with the thought of buying as low as possible Defore the brokers on the curb learned that the pennies had all been paid out, took their places among the buyers and began bidding on everything offered.
 It did not take long for those who had stocks on hand to appreciate that something had happened. When the curb brokers saw SO many small human fry among their customers they guess ed that the source of supply had failed and the market became firm. When they learned that the pennies were all gone the prices went up by leaps and bounds and some refused to sell at any nrfoa

Tells of Dismissal from Yachts Crew at Shelter
 Island Many Years Ago
SET ASHORE AS HOPELESS LANDLUBBER
The President in Happy, Reminiscent Mood He Talks with Interviewers-Played Golf, but Not Up to His Standard-Declines Invitation to Attend Session of Irrigation Congress.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 9.-President Taft sat on the broad veranda of his summer cottage this afternoon over looking Salem bay and the open wa fers of the ocean lying beyond the rocks of Marblehead. The little dan cling waves broke and sparlxled in the brilliant sunlight and off the Marble head shore scores of small yachts had spread their white sails to- the breeze. It is Marblehead race week and iE addition to the daily regattas the bay as dotted with tiny little Sonder class yachts that are in preparation for the race, for he German emperor's cup.
 It was an inviting day on the water and Mir. Taft was asked If he were lin- terested in yachting. The question brou eht. a reminiscent smile and he de- clared he. had once been an enthusiast but had lost interest after very bit ter experien' many years ago off Shelter Island.
 Experience as a Sailor.
 The president said he was spending a summer along the Long Island shore and one day at Shelter Island was shipped as a member of a yachts crew. The president said he was given the duty of hauling in and letting out the main sail.
 aThe sheet. you mean, MT. Presi- dent" suggested one of the inter viewers.
 MT. Taft replied that he supposed that was it. Anyway, after hauling her I'm and letting her out" several times, the president said the sheet line" got tangled while the yacht was turning around" or coming about" the sail got to Tapping, the rope cut his hand and finally slipped through tAe block, the boom swung violently around, the rigging gave way, and the future president of the United States was put ashore as a hopeless land aubber
 The president likes the sea, but wants the firm decks of big liner beneath him. He declared today that Charley Taft, his younger son, with his little north shore sailing dory, would attend to the aquatic part c1 the summer for the entire. family. sl- though the naval yacht Sylph is 7 mg 4n the bay at the presidents di< 5sai he does not intend to make ar /par- adculax use of 1t.

 On the Golf Links.
 MT. Taft played golf today on the links of the Essex County club near Manchester. The day was again ex- eeedinsiy warm and MT. Taft was not up to his usual standard. The~eourse was entirely strange, too, so It was httle wonder that at the end of q upn1rrd foursome the chief magistrate, playing with John Hays Hammond as a partner, was three or four down to

Gen. Adelbert Ames of Massachusetts and W. J. Boardnam of Washington. The president was not sure himself at the end of the game whether the victory had been won by three or four holes. But he and Mir. Hammond declared vendetta this afternoon and on Wednesday morning they will go after General Ames and MT. Board- man again over the same links. To- morrow morning the president and Mar. Hammond are going to play a match round at Myopia.
 The president hs1 not determined this afternoon which of the two links he liked the best-Myopia or Essex. He will confine himself probably throughout his stay to these two courses. The Essex course, in the presidents opinion is not so long or so difficult as the Myopia links.
 President Taft has left entirely in the hands of Secretary of State Knox the formation of the far eastern bureau of the state department, recently au- thorized by congress Mir. Knox will cast about for suitable head to this important branch of the service and the president will approve his choice Secretary Meyer to Visit Beverly Next
 Week.
 Secretary of the Navy Meyer will NlSAl DtNtIly SOIHe LlfIlC next WcGh He is now in Canada. MT Meyer may take up with the president several matters affecting the navy department but any recommendations based upon the report of the Sperry board or touching the reorganization of the de- partment unquestionably will be left for the late fall when the president returns to Washington. N
 Secretary Carpenter today replied to many requests for additional stops on the presidents long southern and western trip to the effect that the ttenerary is closed and that no addi- tionai invitations can possibly be considered.
