LAKE WAR VESSELS
A SERIOUS PROBLEM
Old Agreement Between the United States and Great
Britain Limiting Number of Armed Ships on
Inland Waters May Be terminated

The number Of war vessels to be
maintained on the Great Lakes is a
problem which may become acute at
any time and require the serious con
sideratiOu OF this Government. Il is
one Of the matters which is likely 20
confront Secretary Knox and require
some clever handling il he remains at
the head of the Department of State for
any considerable length Of time.
Indications are becoming strong that
Canada and Great Britain are concerned
over the situation. An understanding
known as the Rush-Ba -ot convention
exists between the United States and
Great Britain limiting me number of
vessels on the Great Lakes. II has eX-
listed since 1917 ana provides that no
vessel is TO exceed 100 tons, that the
armament Of each is not to exceed one
eighteen pound gun, and that each
country have not more than two such
vessels on the upper lakes, one on on
tariO and one on Lake Champlain.
Canada now has but one war vessel
on all the Great lakes, and this is said
TO be uuarmed, while the United States
has six armed vessels and three dis
armed. Altogether these have more
than nifty guns. win a force Of about
1000 men. So far as conditions are To-
day. in case Of a sudden row, the United
States could absolutely dominate the
Great Lakes.

Mr. Davis explained that his remarks

been too brutal 10 Sutton, out that they
had not been brutal enough when ne
first attempted TO leave the camp armed.
He demanded 10 know by what right
Mrs. Sutton had made the charges con-
tanned in her letters before the court.
He asked with a touch of the drSmatiC
whether she was a lt candidate for
the iunatic asylum, whether she was
rational, or whetfer she was given 70
hysteria of this KIND.
Mrs Sutton herself was not in the
court room. The morning session in
which Mr.. Davis, her attorney, had
est sorrow to VIM iyeness. had caused
her TO seek the seciuSion of her room.
Birney's argument Short.
Attorney Birneys argument was com
paratively short. inSsnuch as he took
the position that the charges made
against his client and against Adams
fellow officers had been unsubstautiated
except in the mind of frantic mother.
He confined himself mainly to a plea
that a possible stain might be removed
from their records and TO a denunciation
of the manner in which the case had
been reopened and the participants in
an unfortunate occurrence had been
compelled TO defend themselves against
charges that he believed had no Justi-
hcation in fact.
He made but passing reference to
one OF the points that Davis had
deemed most important: namely. who
gave De Hart on the night OF the
tragedy the pistol that ne afterWard
threw away? Without calling the name
Of the alleged eulprit. the sutton at
torney had Numbered that the man
who gave De Hart that gun had 2
hand that was stained with human
blood. If that pistol had not had a guilty
connection with SuttOns death. he
argued, there would have been no Of
who had handed Ito De Hars, and no.
I don't remember s., in connection
with this vital incident.
Then came the judge advocate IN
few final words. He went once
more into the scene that now in re-
Prospect. stands out as one Of the biz
situations of the trial-the moment
that Davis. following the Introduction
of the confidential letters that NJ rs.
Sutton wrote TO Harry II ESEaTfzc OF
Washington, had denounced the entire
procedure as mot in good faith. F."
Leonard once more defended MS posi-
ton, saving that he considered this
act TO be one Of duty
Accused of Badgering.
He had been accused. said the Judge
advocate. Of badgering enlisted men or
non-eommissioned officers. Never, he
contended in this final word, had he
been so disregardful of the rights of an
enlisted man as when Mr.. Davis declar-
ed that De Hart had not told the truth
in his testimony before the board. De
Hart, the judge advocate said, must
now go before the country branded as a
periurer and was without means TO de-
fend himself or use the hands which
God had given him for that defense.
Mr. Davis, in treating of the conflicts
in the various officers testimony. had
been merciless in his excoriation Of De
Harris failure TO clear up some of the
most potent facts in the whole inVesti-
cation, chief among them being the
pistol incident, upon which Mrs. Sutton
and her attorneys have always laid the
greatest Importance,

Ception to Mr.. Davis remark that Mrs.

MINING NOTES.

Kennedy South Extension. The S.
horse power electric hoist was started
last Tuesday, and found to work like a
charm. 1t is connected with the runn
ing gear of the old donkey engine used
in sinking the shaft originally. The
work of cleaning out the shaft, which
has been suspended for about month
waiting for the completion of the hoist,
is now being pushed with vigor. The
shaft is 800 feet deep, and will be
cleared to the bottom. Prospect drifts
will be run east from this level to as
certain the character of the east ledge,
which the managers believe to be the
continuation of the vein met with in
the Kennedy. Some of the principal
stockholders were expected up this
week to look into matters and decide
upon future action.
Bunker Hill. AT the meeting of the
directors held this week it was decided
to increase the regular monthly dividend
to four cents per share. Heretofore the
regular dividend has been three cents
per share, with an extra dividend
thrown in occasionally. The output
and prospects of the mine more than
warrant this increase of dividend. At
the 1850 level, they were entering
the ore body in the early part of the
week. The indications were good, but
the development work had not pro-
gressed far enough to make any definite
statement AS soon as the ledge is
prospected at this level, the work of
drifting for the ledge at the 1880, level
will be pushed ahead with all possible
speed. The stock of this mine has
stiffened the past week, and is quoted
at So bid, $4 asked.
Bay State H @. Terrence, the
superintendent of this mine, who went
to the city on business two weeks ago,
has returned, bringing the glad new sthat
wages of employees will be promptly
settled 1t is presumed that operations
at the mine will be continued. The
general opinion seems to be that the
outlook is very favorable for the de-
velopment of a dividend paying mine.
