AFTER SERVING "a YEARS OF.

STAGE COACH RoBBER POTTER
An Illinois Boy who Became Cow
boy and Desperado-Pardon Urs-
ed by Two of the> Passengers.

Washington. Sept. 13.--A story of an
Illinois boy going west, becoming a
cowboy and making a single handed
hold up of stage coach with six
passengers, figures in e. pardon granted
by President Taft today in the case
of L. A. Potter.
Sentenced in 1885 to Life Imprison-
ment.

Texas he was sentenced May 20, 1885,

Mrs. J. T. White, wife of the p-esi-
dent of the German National bank

prisoner had been sufficiently pun

dollars and a watch from the passen-
gers. The watch was returned to its

EFFORTS TO GET AMERICAN
VESSELS FOR TAFT'S TRIP
During inspection of New Orleans
Harbor and the Lower Mississippi.

Washington, Sept. 13.-Deprecating
the suggestion that President Tafts S
party which will inspect New Orleans
harbor on October 80 next must make
the trip under a foreign flag" Act
ing Secretary of Commerce and Labor
McHarg has advised che collector of
customs of that port that efforts will
be made to secure American vessels
for the presidents inspection of New
Orleans harbor and the lower Missisis-
sippi. Mr.. McHarg's letter, dated to-
day, follows:
The department has received your
letter of the 9th inst inquiring. in
behalf of the entertainment commit
tee, whether there would be objection
to the use of one or more foreign
steamers to enable the president of the
United States and his party with del
egates to the waterways convention
to spend three or hour fours on Octo-
Der 30th in an inspection of the har-
Dor Of New Orleans and the lower
Mississippi river. The department pre-
fers not to answer the question until
efforts have been made, for which
there is ample time, to secure Ameri-
can vessels for the purpose. 1t is re-
luctant to believe that at our prin-
cipal gulf port American shipping has
so dwindled that to enable the presi-
dent of the United States and rela-
lively small body of representative
Americans to spend few hours on
the greatest American river with a
view to it's improvement they must
make the trip under g. foreign flag.

AUTOPSY PERFORMED
2 ON BODY or LIEUT.. SUTTON
Confusion Found Over Right Eye-No
Bones were Broken.

Washington, Sept. 13.--When the
body of Lieut.. James N. Sutton, Jr,
the young marine officer, who met his
death about two years ago At Annap-
oils, was exhumed at Arlington ceme-
terry today, an autopsy performed by
physicians representing the navy de-
partment and young Sutton's mother
disclosed that no bones were broken
though a confusion was found over the
right eye.
It had been Mrs. sutton's conten-
ton that her sons arm was broken
during the fight. which preceded mis-
death and that this being the case.
the shot which ended his life could
not have been self inflicted.
Dr. George T. Vaughan OF this city,
who represented Mrs. Sutton az the
autopsy, said tonight that the bullet
wound which caused his death was
three inches above the right ear and
was clean cut. There was nosfndica-
tion that the hair and scalp had been
burned by powder Surgeon Spear,
who represented the navy department
declined to make q statement tonight
sayinr that he intended to report direct
70 the navy department.
Attorney Van Dyke, assistant counsel
for Mrs Sutton, said tonight that he
was convinced that the shot was fired
at least FIVE feet from the officer
head and that the wound showed con-
clusfveiy that It was a physical i'm
possibility for Sutton to have fired the
shot
While Mrs. sutton's attorneys are
said to have made their plans for the
next step in the case, they declined to
discuss them tonight.

ASSOCIATED PRESS TUG
ARRIVES AT BATTLE HARBOR.
Peary Anxious Lest DR.. Cook Should
First Reach New York.

Battle Harbor. Labrador. Sept. 10.
The Associated Press tug Douglass
H Thomas, arrived here this after
nooon. Commander Peary's steamer
Roosevelt was found to be in good
condition and will leave Battle Harbor
on Thursday or Friday for North Syd-
ney.
From that port the Roosevelt will
proceed to New York, and If it is pos
sible she will take part in the naval
parade at the Hudson-F Futon ceiebra-
tion.
Captain Bartlett is extremely anx-
ious to weigh, anchor and return to
civilization, but as there is danger OF
encountering storms, so prevalent in
these seas on the treacherous Labra-
dor coast, he is anxious that every
preoautior shall be taken tc put the
Roosevelt in as~ seaworthy a condi
tton as possible. Under the best OF
circumstances the steamer is bound
to make a slow run to Sydney, prob
ably not more than five knots an
hour.
Commander Peary also is anxious
lest DR.. Cook should reach New York
first, but he adds that the Brooklyn
explorers attempts to induce scient-
ists to believe his story will be fu-
tila.

|Peary Sailor
Tells His Story
RoATSWAIN OF THE AUXILIARY
STEAMER ERIK.
CONFIRMS DR.. cooks CHARGE
That the Peary Party Took the Doc
tors Supplies from Two Different
caches-cooks Collections Taken.

st. Johns, N. F., Sept. 13.-Alan
Whitten who was boatswain OF the
Peary auxiliary steamer Erik in 1905
and again in 1908. adds his quota to
the polar controversy today. On his
expeditions he naturally saw much OF
Peary and knew of Peary's plans. He
was also in the Erik in the summer of
1907 when she lay for a week at sgd
ney alongside the schooner John r.
Bradley, in which DR.. Cook was start
ing for the pole. The Erik that year
went to Hudson Bay for the Canadian
government
Cook Had Supplies for Three Years.
whitten says that the Bradley was
abundantly equipped for Cooks ex-
petition, having supplies for at least
three years. He confirms DIR. Cook s
charge at Copenhagen that Peary's
men took Cooks provisions, adding
that not only did the crew of the
ship take Cooks stores that were at
thirty miles distant, to remove Cook S
provisions which were stored there.
A Strange Thing to Do.
whitten admitted that he did not
know whether this removal was by
arrangement between Rudolphe
Francke who was left in charge of
the provisions, and Peary, or Pearys
representatives, but he thought that
it any event It was a strange thing
to do. in view of the fact that Cook
was then away on the ice foes and
might return and find his provisions
gone.
Ivory and Skins Also Taken.
The boatswain also made the state
ment that both Cooks and Francke's
collections of ivory and skins, some OF
them very valuable, were likewise
taken. He said that the trouble with
Peary's previous expeditions had been
lack of supplies. Instead of remain
Ing away for three years, Commander
Peary was compelled to return after
about fifteen months, the real reason
Whitten declared. being that he did not
have enough supplies to remain longer
Roosevelt Still at Battle Harbor.
Information received here tonight
was to the effect that the Roosevelt
would leave Battle Harbor for Sydney
on Saturday.

Washington, Sept. 13.-Secretary of
State Knox is giving special attention

the commercial interests of the United
States in Latin-America and to that
end has created in the state depart
ment a new division to be known as
the division of Latin American affairs,
which is to be devoted exclusively to

Thomas C. Dawson of Iowa, United
States minister to Chile, as chief of
the new division, and William T. S.
Doyle as assistant chief.
The statement is made at the state
department that the increasing in
vestment of American capital in Latin
America and the obligations resulting
from closer political relations between
this country and those of all the eoun-
tries of Central and South America,
impose upon the department of state

FATE or THE DUKE
RESTS WITH MISS ELkINS
If She Should Say the Word Marriage
Would Soon Take Place.

Paris, Sept 13.-A high parsonage
in touch with previous preliminary ar
rangements regarding the marriage Of
the Duke of the Abruzzi and Miss
Katherine Elkins said today that, con-
trary to the popular impression, the
real hitch was not due to objections
by the Italian royal family but to the
attitude of Miss Elkins herself.
IF Miss Ellxins would accept the
duke said this authority mo obsta-
Gle would be placed in the way Of the
marriage by his family. I know that
the king and the royal family have
offered to grant their consent not to
a morganatic union, but to a marriage
that would include the privileges and
rank for Miss Elkins to which the
duke is entitled.
''The queen mother, perhaps was not
pleased with the prospect of the duke
contracting a union with an Ameri-
can, but her objections would have
been withdrawn. The dukes fate rests
with Miss Elkins herself. If she should
say the word the duke would be at
her side tomorrow, and the marriage
would not long be delayed

the chain of allied railroads was. made
certain today. when Robert S. Lovett,

and close friend. was elected to sue
ceed him as the head of the executive
committee of the Union Pacific road.
To further strengthen the dominance
of the "Harriman idea" ]. II. Schiff
and William Rockefeller, both heavily
interested in the Hartman enter
prises, were elected directors in place
of Mr.. Hartman and the late II. ii.
Rogers, respectively, and were also
chosen to places on the executive
committee.
President to Be Elected in October.
The Union Pacific still remains
without a president, as MIR. Hartman
occupied this position also. 1t is un-
derstood however that an operating
man-probably l.. F. Loree, president
of the Delaware & Hudson, will lie
elected for the place at the annual
meeting of stockholders to be held
October 12. Proxies for this meeting
already in the hands of Judge Lovett
and Alexander Millar, secretary of the
Union Pacific. seem to guarantee that
the election will be dictated by the
| Hartman interests.
Judge Lovett Peculiarly Fitted for His
New Position.
The Office which Judge Lovett as
sumed today is the most important in
the management and financial super
vision of the Union Pacific. Judge
! LoVett's close association with Mr..
Hartman. particularly during the last
weeks of the latter's life, make him,
in the opinion of the Hartman lieu

the responsibilities of the position. He
