Matteawan hospital centers today about a
newspaper wrapped bundle, which Attorney
Clifford w. Hartridge, once Thaw's LAWYER,
introduced in evidence late yesterday after

called to the stand today.

carefully guarded, but it is learned that it is

the victim of perverted habits. The whip is
said to have been turned over To HartTidge by

PHONES IN FARMERS HOMES.

Bell Telephone Company managers
aud superintendents from all over Vir-
GINA and North Carolina were in ses-
sion on the 9th, 23rd and Oath instant
in the Richmond Office, devising plan
OF campaign by which every rural line
may be connected with some central ex-
change.
This, they believe, will result In the
placing Of telephone in the home of
every progressive farmer in every section
of the state, all lines leading to Rich
mond and other market cities.
Incidentally these managers sre dis
eussing city conditions, the placing of
new exchanges, the multiple exchange
system as recently installed here, under
ground wiring, return-wire connections
and various Other matters OF importance
which confront every exchange manager;
hut, first and last, according to Albert
E. Tanner, manager OF the Richmond
exchange, the meeting is for the benefit
of the country lines, particularly those
in the fsr.aWsy counties where there are
no railroad facilities and where the mails
are uncertain.
Ia such sections, Mr.. Tanner pointed
out, the telephone has the greatest social
and educational value, as it brings the
people together IS nothing else can do.
Ii keeps them in touch, he showed, aud
frequently news of important happenings
in The commercial and political history
of the country is conveyed to these iso.
lated sections by rural lines, when with.
out them the news would be many days
on Its way.
The meeting Of managers reported
that the development in this branch OF
the service during the last few years,
but particularly in 1908, has been Phe.
Domensl. A number Of private lines
have been bought by the Bell Company
and connected with some city exchange.
Others have been built outright, and 10
many cases thousands of dollars have
been spent 10 establishing up-to-date
little exchanges in country towns and
villages with which the entire surround
ing nei9hborhood is connected.

Annapolis, Md, July 27.-"My own
investigation conviuces me thst my son
did not commit suicide, but was killed
by one of the other officers" That Mrs.
James N. Sutton made this statement
over her own signsture 10 her letter to
the Navy Department requesting the
present court of inquiry, was brought
out at the hearing today, Just after Mrs.
Sutton hsd been sworn a. a witness:
The court ruled: "The admission OF
this lette. into evidence places every per-
son present at the time of Lieutenant
Sutton's death in the position OF de-
fendauts and thereby changes the char.
acter of Mrs. Sutton from dlslnteres1eu
party to q complainant or sccuser, and
all persous present at the time OF Lieu
tenant Sutton's death are now placed In
the position Of defendants and are en-
titled to be present and to be represented
by counsel"
The court later adjourned TO await the
arrival of Lieutenant Utley next WeeE,
aud without taking Mrs. Sutton's testi'
mony.
From the great mass Of conflicting
testimony that has been adduced thus
far In the inquiry into the desth of Lieu
tenant Sutton, there stands out promi
nently the fact that, no matter how Sat'
ton died, the officers Of the marine corps
we're and still are anxious to suppress
the facts.
The testimony of Private Charles W.
Kennedy, Of the marine corps who wa
still on the witness stand when the case
was resumed today, Is regarded as proc
of that statement, if there was not add
tional proof ia the attitude of the Officers
themselves.

ICorrsvpopdence Of the Alexandria Gazette. !
Washington, July 26
Whether Congress remains in session
one week or several weeks longer now
depends upon President Taft. The
members Of the conference committee
have reached an agreement on the hide
and leather question. Bat the leaders
in the Senate and House admit that they
are unsble to get votes enough to put 1t
through. They have passed that i'm
portant question up to the president.
Probably DO more peculiar situation has
ever been presented in the United States
CeDgress The report to be made by
the conference committee is for free
hides erd fifty per cent. reductions up
ON manufactured leather goods. Seven
teen republican senators have announced
toat they will not vote for this PROPOSE
zion. II hides are TO be made free they
demsud ths. ell leather manufactures be
also made free. The sentiment in the
House is overwhelmingly for free hides
with duties on the finished products.
The ask Of the president is therefore
either to 6nd votes enough 10 the SEN
ate to Iass the report as framed by the
cOnitrots 90 to secure the votes In the
House for y or ten per cent duty on
hides. On the success of his endeavOrs
depends the secsp aOce Of the report and
tue duration Of the present special ses'
sion. 1t is admitted on sll hsnds that
the president practically controls the
House. 1t is there, therefore, thai 1t is
expected concessions will be made. As
AZ looks now he result OF the fight will
be q tariff on hides OF Z or 10 per cent;
boots and shoes 10 per cent; sole ard

contain only per cent Of water. Tax
