ARMENIANS TO REMAIN HERE
Party Thrice Ordered DepOrted Held

Peculiar Case Finally Brought 20
Immigration Officials I'm Wash

Pending the ection Of the immigration
officials OF the Department Of Commerce
and Labor. the authorities at Ellis Island.
\. Y, are holding an entire Armenian
family, whose case has been the cause
Of considerable comment during the last
two weeks.
Stefan Dadiu, leader Of the party. who
has brought with him his wife and elven-
months-old child, is reputed 70 be an ex-
pert silveismith. as are his brother Ma
rum and his cousin. Gussuf Tehan, also
Of the party.
The family arrived al Ellis Island early
in the present month. but os they were
without funds. the immigration officials
Immediately ordered their deportation
Dadim protested and was given p trial
before the board OF inquiry. at which the
principal witness was DadO J. Norrian,
dealer In antiques, who declared that
he was ready 10 give Dadim sufficient
work 20 enable him TO support the entire
party.
The board insisted however, that this
was not enough. and required Nooriaa to
furnish bond guaranteeing that Dadim
would not become a public charge upon
the country. This Noorian refused 70 do,
and the officials ordered the party de-
ported.
The order was not carried into effect
and the case has been reopened three
times since the first hearing. and each
time the same decision ives reached, that
the party be depOrted at once
Each time the decision was handed
down Dadim and hs family raised such

Henry E. Davis. attorney for Mrs. SUIT
ton. mother Of Second Lieut. James n.
Sutton. U. S. NJ c.. whose mysterious
death at Annapolis in October 1907. was
recently reinvestigated by court Of IN
Quiry. issued a statement yesterday IN
which he criticised the decision OF the
court and took a shot at Maj Leonard,
the Judge advocate. The language Of the
courts opinion, he said, was "eminently
unjudicial and unnecessarily harsh" Mai.
Leonard. Mr.. Davis asserts, was derelict
in his duty in handling the case.
Takes Exception 20 Opinion.
In view OF the finding and opinions Of
the Sutton court Of inquiry. especially
the fifth opinion, that the charges Of
Mrs. Sutton arc unsupported by even a
shadow Of reason" Mr.. Davis said in his
statement:
I feel it is my duty to the mother who
has 80 faithfully sought to relieve her
son from the stigma Of suicide TO sub
NIT for the consideration Of the public
the following statement passing without
comment the eminently unjudicial and
unnecessarily harsh language in which
the court has thought fit to clothe its
conclusions.
4 am impelled TO this course in large
part by the apprehension that those who
know only so much Of the case as the
press has found 1t possible 20 publish
may be led 10 think the determination OF
a body Of officers In the military service
OF the country must be a righteous re-
suit, and that Mrs. Sutton's attitude may
have been justly estimated by those 10
whom the honor of the service. as we'll
as the cause Of justice, was for the oc-
oasion committed"
Mr.. Davis reviewed the testimony lpon
which the opinions of the court were
based. The mixed and contradictory state
ments made by the various witnesses. he
asserted. were accepted as fact. and
every other statement IN conflict there
with was conveniently rejected.
Discussing the action of the Judge adj
vocate In requesting TO be excused from
the deliberations of the court, Mr.. Davis
said
The judge advocates request to be ex-
cused from participation in the del.bera-
tons Of the court, which request was
granted, involved what 1 must consider
as plain dereliction OF duty. I laid be-
w
one respecting the quality and extent OF
evidence necessary 10 a verdict OF sui
eide, and the other respecting the coudi-
ticns under which a phenomenal explana-
tion Of a given situauon-in this case.
the nature Of Lieut. Sutton's wound
could be accepted.
Judge Advocates Duty.
Tt was plainly the judge advocates
duty 20 confirm these propositions 10 the
court and had one done so and the court
needed him, it would have been absolutely
obliged to exclude the hypothesis of sui
eide and almost as certainly to exclude
the hypothesis Of a wound self-inficted
IN any manner as the explanation of the
cause Of Lieut. Sutton's death"
Mr.. Davis statement gives no inkIing
OF his future plans regarding the case.
He declined TO say what course he would
follow, although he iutimated the case
would not be dropped

Vienna, Aug. 2O.-Edward H. Hartman,

Prof Struempel says Mr. Hartman

henceforth. A resumption Of his siren

bring a relapse.

from general nervous debility and ex-

DEFINES BALLINGRR'S POLICY
Secretary Declined to Touch Alaska
Coal Entries.
Statement of Assistant Secretary
Pierce Intimates that Avtion May
BE Taken Against MOnOpOIies.

Secretary OF the Interior Ballinger has
never had anything to do officially with
the Cunningham coal entries in Alaska
according TO a statement made public
yesterday by Acting Secretary Pierce.
The significance Of this statement lies In
the fact that Mr.. Balllnger is alleged 70
have acted as counsel for the Cunning
ham interests in the time intervening be-
tween his resignation Of the Office of
Land Commissioner and his acceptance Of
the post at the head Of the Interior De-
partment. Mr.. Pierce's statement fol-
lows:
soon after Secretary Bauinger as
sumed Office somo phase of these cases
came up officially before the department.
The Secretary called for me and stated
that he had been called into consultation
about these cases before his appointment
and that he would have nothing whatever
20 do with them, and directed that all
matters relating 10 them should be han
died entirely between myself and the
Commissioner of the General Land Office.
Since the Secretary assumed office he
has had nothing whatever to do with
these cases. and all matters relating 10
them have been handled directly bv my
self or through the General Land Once"
IL would appear from another an
nouncement Of Acting Secretary Pierce
that legislation will be sought OF Con-
gress at the December session designed
70 prevent water power sites from Ealing
Into the hands Of monopolies The an
nouncement follows:
Pursuant 10 the policy and direction
Of Secretary Ballinger. Acting Secretary
OF the Interior Pierce to-day withdrew
for temporary power sites 2,959 acres of
land along the White River. in the state
OF Utah. with the view OF reporting 10
