uAIT SUTTON CASE
R[OP[AED

Washington. d. c., March 9.-The
Sutton case" which has already
been the subject of two naval inquir-
les, is to be brought before public
attention again and from all indica-
tions it is destined to be as prolific
of official Investigations as the
Brownsville affair. Today a joint
resolution was introduced in both
houses of congress asking for thor
ough reinvestigation into the death of
Lieutenant James S. Sutton and of
all the events leading up to the trag-
edy. simultaneously, it is under
stood, the mother of the lieutenant
will institute proceedings in the civil
courts of Maryland.
Lieutenant Sutton died at Anapo-
lis as a result of wound in the head
caused by pistol shot on October 13,
1907. At the time of his death the
lieutenant was a student at the mar
inc school of application. According
to the testimony given at the first in
vestigation Sutton quarrelled with a
brother officer as they, accompanied
by several other officers, were return
ing in an automobile from dance at
Annapolis to the barracks. There
was a fist fight after the party left
| The automobile in which Sutton is said
to have been vanquished. The testi-
mony tended to show that he went
to his quarters and obtained reyol-
yer with the intention of shooting his
antagonist. He fired one shot at
Lieutenant Robert e. Adams of the
Marine Corps, but did not strike him.
Lieutenant Edward P. Rocker, an
other Marine Corps officer, who was
member of the party, attempted to
intervene and struggled with Sutton
in an attempt to disarm him. A sec
ond shot from Sutton's pistol pierced
Rockers clothes, but did not pene-
trate his body. According to the tes-
timony Sutton, who had been thrown
to the ground in his encounter with
Rocker, then shot himself in the
head.
A board of officers appointed to
Investigate Sutton's death rendered
verdict that he had committed sui
eide and that no person was in any
way responsible for his death. About
year ago, as a result of an agita-
tion on the part of the family and
friends of the deal lieutenant, the
matter was re-opened and another
board appointed to inquire into the
circumstances of the tragedy. 1t was
rumored at the time that sensational
disclosures would be made and that
the arrest of one or more Marine
Corps officers on the charge of being
concerned in the death Of Lieutenant
Sutton might follow. Numerous wit
nesses were summoned, but after a
thorough investigation the board ar
rived at the same verdict as its pre-
decessor, namely, that Sutton had
come to his death by his own hand.
The mother still maintains, however.
that her son did not die by his own
hand, but that his death was the re-
suit of a conspiracy.

Novel METHOD Of
HOhESI[AD|hG
WOULD PERMIT OF DUAL ENTRY
ON EACH QUARTER SECTION,
TWO ENTRYMEN TO DO EQUAL
WORK AND DIVIDE PROPERTY

Washington, March 9.-Home-
steads on the partnership plan are
proposed by bill introduced by Sem
ator Burkett of Nebraska. The sug-
gestion is entirely different from
anything heretofore put up to con-
gress, and there is considerable doubt
as to how the bill will be treated If
called up for consideration. 1t pro-
vides:
THAT hereafter two persons, both
of whom are qualified homestead en-
trymen, may make a joint homestead
entry.
Makes Homesteading Easy.
Residence upon the homestead
and general compliance with the
homestead law by either one of the
entrymen shall be sufficient to make
final proof and secure patent: Pro-
vided, that at the time the initial
entry is made the application shall
designate which part of the tract en-
tered shall be patented by each en-
tryman.
''It Is provided further, that it
must be shown by the entryman who
did not reside upon the homestead
that he contributed not less than
$500 toward the support Of the en-
tryman residing upon the homestead
and in making permanent improve
ments thereon, in amounts of not less
than 500 per year.
One Failing, Other Benefits.
provided further, that where
either of the entrymen fails to COM
ply with the requirements of the
homestead law as to residence, cul-
tivation, ETC., the other entrymen
may complete entry and receive pat
emit for the entire tract by showing
compliance with the homestead
law"
The presumption Is that the bill
contemplates that joint homestead
entries shall be for only 100 acres.

Brass is one Of the metals very largely
entering into the trade Of this country. Il
is made Of an alloy Of copper and zinc,
with sometimes a little tin added. The
American market consumes something
ike $l00.000,000.O0 worth a
year-$99, 100000 in 1905, as per
government census. Brass goods are
protected by duties ranging from 5 to
As per cent, most Of that used by the
average person being under The high rate.
The government census for 1905 states
that the total labor cost of making these
goodsis u per cent. The average
duty is more than twice the total labor
cost. With this high tariff wall around
the industry it naturally follows that there
is brass trust, the American Brass
Company. The trust exports $4,50O,-
600. its surplus. which is sold at the
world market for less than the price
charged here. The duty is so high that
the importadons amount to less than
100000 worth. II scarcely needs a
demonstration that an industry that pro-
duces $l00.000.0O0 worth a year is
no longer an infant and that when it
sends abroad $4.500.000 Of its products
to be sold at the international price it
needs very Little tariff.

Uncle Joe is Vicious

Speaker Joe Cannon, in his address
before the National Association Of Man
ufadurers at the Waldorf Astoria relieved
himself Of few thoughts on insurgency"
May 18th. thus:
you believe we have majority Of
"A in the house Of Representatives and
two-thirds Of the u. S. Senate" said the
Speaker, and yet we ale under the
sway will not say Of dishonest of mis-
taken people and now and then a dem
agogue seeking power; and | can pick
out among them men who would have
competed with Juda. who betrayed his
master.
I'VE have a great President and a
Republican majority, yet we cannot say
whether there are not enough towards
to flock with the Populistic Democratic
minority and leave us without an efficient
Republican majority.
If there were two armies drawn up
to actual conflict do you know what
would be done with such men2
Shoot them, cried one Of the diners
Shoot them?" thundered the Speaker
shoot them?-that would be too hon
orable a death for them. Hanging
would be their fate"
Yet we are assured by no less dis
tnguished parsonage than our own Sem
ator Long that the contest is entirely
friendly"

There is considerable speculation as to
what effect last springs city campaign
will have on the MacGregor-Griffin
representative contest now occupying the
attention Of the g. o. p. cohorts. Col.
MacGregor was one Of the shining
lights in the municipal campaign and
many temperance people delighted to
honor him, but it appears that the ardor
Of the temperance advocates has cooled
perceptibly, as it does at all fall elections
and the boozer and the teetotaler will
walk up to the polls arm in arm. Our
off hand guess is that Col. Macs activity
in the city election will not be a de-
pendable asset in the primary election.
