 Hand te Testify.

Annapolis, Md, July 2l.--Pending the resumption of the investigation into the death of Lieut.. James N. Sutton. of the Marine Corps before the Naval Board of Inquiry here Monday. coun- sel for Sutton's mother and sister to- day examined the voiuminous records of testimony SO far taken with view to more rigid cross exenination of the remaining naval officers to be call ed as witnesses.
 The testimony of Chauffeur Owens. which indicated that young Sutton had tried to avoid a fight with Lieutenant Adams and the other officers who were taken to camp in Owens car on the night of the shooting, has thrown the first light on the affair from a witness outside the service. The principal points Owens testified to went far to strengthen the theories of those who believe the young Oregonian was the subject of foul play.
 Sutton's mother and sister were very emphatic in their declarations today that the facts would yet be brought to light to show that Lieutenant Sutton was stripped and beaten to death on the night of october 12. 1907.
 Charles Kennedy, the private in the Marine Corps at Norfolk. Va. who is said to be an important witness of the Suttons, arrived here today. The na- ture of his testimony has not been dis closed, but 1t is thought he was an eye witness of the shooting, with diff ferent Version of the affatr from that of the witnesses who so far testified that Sutton conlmitfed suicide. ?
 In support of the theory or Mrs Sut- ton and her daughter flfat L4eutenant sutf6ri wAh praotirally beaten to death. 1t is said today that the report of the physician who performed an autopsy upon the body of Sutton will show that Sutton's skull was Fractured; that there was a large lump on the cheek and that his forehead bore evidence of a terrific blow. A great gash, evident ly inflicted by the butt of a revolver. will. 1t Is said. be proven to have been found on the top of Sutton's head.
 Returning fhere tonight. Mrs. Sutton said that the informatica upon which she went to Washington was not quite accurate. A trunk In her apartments had been broken open, but this had been done by some one whom she had sent there to get something from the trunk. and who, having lost the key thereto, forced the lock.
 The broken lock having been mo- ticed by people in the house. Mrs. Sutton was notified of what seemed an attempted robbery.

 Ellis Island officials say Towards case Is without parallel and that he will at least have to remain third class passenger on the Arabic until the two governments unwind much red tape.

Atlanta, Ga, July 24.--Two facts developed today in the prohibition nght in the State Legislature. The first Is that Governor Brown will veto the Alexander near-beer bill as soon as it reaches him, should 1t pass both houses. The second is that the Gov ernor, by an ante-election pledge. Is bound not to call special session of the Assembly. even If the prohibition ists desire one,
 That the Governor will veto the measure is attested by bis closest friends. When asked about it. he replied: When the bill reaches me, if 1t ever does. will announce my de- cision then, but not until then. l"
 Before he was elected. the prohi- bitionists visited Governor Brown and made him stgn a pledge that he would resist with the veto power. if neces- sary, any attempt to repeal or change by amendment or otherwise, the pres ent prohibition law" At that time, of course, the "drys" did not antici- pate the necessity of any change. Browns friends, however, say that the Executive believes the pledge he gave Is binding.
 Ne Special Session,
 That the Governor would not call a special session of the Assembly even for the drys. is believed from pledge he made the prohibftionists before he was elected. In this, the new Gov ernor declared that when prohibition was an issue, the people had right to know 1t at the time legislators were being elected as 1t might change their votes. On this ground, he declared. he would oppose any liquor legisla- ton during his term of office, because the liquor questioA was not an issue when the present legislators were elected.
 The Alexander bill was read a rec ond time in the House this morning, with score of other bills. The As< sembIy met at g a. m., but adjourned to 10, and was in session only . few minutes. During that time, however. the drys, without the knowledgel of the vets. had the measure read by title for the second time The bill must now await It's regular turn on the calendar tor It's thtrd reading and mai passage. There are several hun dred bills ahead of fl. and the session has only. saeventeen more days of life. Ti'e oiaiy ehance to pass it, 1t 10 be- lieved IS for it's friends 10 make if special order by resolutions. This resolution would have to go fo the Rules Committee and be adopted by majrity Of the House. It Is con-, ceded however. that the prohibition ssts have strength enough to make the bill special order. !
 The McLendon inquiry will be rec stunned Monday. and this trial of the Railroad cominissioner suspended by Governor Smith will occupy the As- sembly for several days to the exclu- sion even of liquor legislation.
