ENDED HIS OWN LIFE.

Death.
With the publication Wednesday of
Acting Secretary of the Navy Wln
throp's approval of the findings of th
court of Inquiry that Lieut. James N.
Sutton. Jr., of the United States ma
rine corps was "directly and solely
responsible for his own death at Ann
apolis nearly two years ago," the fa
mous Sutton case became a closed
Incident as far the navy department
Is concerned.
Counsel for the Suttons Intimated,
however, after the court's decision
had become definitely known, that
they were far from satisfied with the
verdict and that they probably would
take the issues involved to congress
with a view of having a full hearing
of the case by a commission of that
body.
The verdict of the court as ap
proved by Mr.'WInthrop Is as follows:
"Lieut. Sutton Is directly and sole
ly responsible for his own death, which
was self-inflicted, either Intentionally
or in an effort to shoot one of the
persons restraining him, and. his death
was not caused by any other injury
whatever." '
Mrs. Sutton declined to disc-iss the
result of the Inquiry In which she
sought to clear her boy's name from
the stigma of suicide.
Acting Seoretary Wlnthrop said that
he devolved the court of Inquiry and
had given directions that copies of the
findings of the court and its conclu
sions, together with his observations
thereon, be sent to Henry E. Davis,
the attorney for Mrs. Sutton, and to
Arthur Blrney, Lieut. Adams' attor
ney. (
Too much time has elapsed since
the Incident, in the opinion of the
navy officials, to undertake any pro
ceedings against the persons whose
conduct In the case ha been the sub
ject of criticism by the court. They,
however, will be made acquainted In
an official but Informal way of these
criticisms, which will both serve the
purpose of an admonition to them and
of presenting to them the view taken
by the department of their conduct.

Ipplnes. The x-ray as a cure for some cases

the islands.
Dr. Helser in a report to Surgeon
Gen. Wyman, of. the public health and
marine hospital service, says the x-ray
Is suitable for specially selected case.,
and Is valuable apparently only In the
early stages. San Lataro hospital at
Manila was the first Institution in the
world to use the x-ray for leprosy
treatment.
Of ficiaT" figures show that on March
31. 1909. there were 2,446 lepers In the
Philippines, segregation having re
duced by more than 1.000 the number
of cases during the past two years. At
the beginning of the American occupa
tion, eleven years ago, there were near
ly 4,000 lepers. Americans perfected
the establishment for lepers on the
Island of Cullon In 1908. It Is estimat
ed that under the Spanish regime 700
new cases developed every year. At
the present time the number of nee,
cases averages 300 annually.

INTER-STATE FAIR FOR IS09
IT MOVX CITY, IOWA, DURING
WEEK OF SEIT. 20T1I.
Many New Features Tills Year Bl
Exhibit by U. S. Government An
IgorrotP Village All Objectionable
Praturcn Bnnlstird.
The Seventh Annual Fair to be giv
en by the Interstate Live Stock Fair
Association, of Sioux City, Iowa, will
be held the week of September 20, at
Woodland Park, Riverside, which has
been called the most beautiful natural
fair grounds In the United States.
The officers and directors of the In
terstate Live Stock Fair Association
are men of high standing In' the busi
ness world, and It Is because of the
association of men of such character.
In this enterprise that they have been
able to make of It the largest and best
Independent fair In the country.
The week of September 20 Is the
wjek following the South Dakota state
fulr at Huron, S. D. By changing Its
dates so an not to conflict with the
South Dakota state fair, the Inter
state Association made a move, the
popularity of which can hardly be es
timated. For Instance, the South Da
kota newspapers, so long as the Inter
state Fair Association persisted In
clinging to the dates which rightly be
longed to the South Dakota fair, were
either actually antagonistic or at least
unfriendly. This year, with the Inter
state people doing the right thing, the
press of South Dakota Is more than
generous In Ita attitude towards the
big fair at Woodland. They are sim
ply glad that the Interstate Live Stock
Fair Association realised that It waa
In the wrong and got In the right path.
They are boosting the Interstate fair,
and, while loyally urging their cltlxens
to see their own fair first, they ray
then the "next best" fair to see is that
of the Interstate Live Stock Fair As
sociation at Sioux City.
The program of the seventh annual
fair Is the best la the history of the as
sociation. It 1 a well balanced pro
gram, one In which every person may
find something to enjoy. The program
indicates management will fulfill the
title Interstate Live Stock Fair for
the exhibit of live stock Includes the
blue bloods from the breeding farms
of half -, a doscn commonwealths.
While live stock and agriculture are
first In Importance, the racing and
amusement features have been given
a great deal of attention. The exhibit
of farm machinery will be the largest
tver seen at any fair in the west out
Ide of the world's expositions. Flow
ers and fruits will have a large depart
ment of their own. The Fine Arts and
Household Departments, the Pantry
and Kitchen Department, the Child
ren's Department and the Department
of Dairy Products will be unusually
attractive.
The International Bee Keepers' As
sociation will hold its annual conven
tion at the fair grounds during the fair,
and this fact was largely Instrumental
In causing the board of directors of
the Fair Association to erect an
apiary building this year. Because
the convention, there will be exhlbi i
this year from Canada, Japan and
Australia.
The United States government will
have an Important exhibit at the fair.
It will be made by tho department of
agriculture, and will consist of patho
logical specimens showing diseases
and Infections of live steck. Diseased
glands, diseased tissues, diseased
blood, and, in Bhort, specimens of ev
ery disease with which domestic ani
mals are afflicted, will be exhibited in
hermetically sealed containers. The

At a great expense and only after
numerous delays In the negotiations,
Mr. Morton has finally secured the
Bontoc Igorrote Village for the fair.
)xty Indians from the wilds of Lu
son, In the Philippine archipelago,
live In this village, which was brought:
to this country for exhibition at the
St. Louis world's fair. For the last
two years the village has been at
Dreamland Park, Coney Island, and
next month it will be transplanted to
the Seattle exposition, frgm which
place the villages will be deported,
never again to be allowed to exhibit
In the United States. On their way to
Seattle the villagers wlN be exhibited
at only two places the Minnesota
stute fair and the Interstate Fulr.
The leading band at the fulr will
be the world famous organization of
Liberatt. However, Reed's Fourth
Regiment band will play every day,
and no doubt there will be some otd
admirers who will prefer (ho popular
music of this well known local band.

The developments continue entlreT
favorable to Increasing activity
throughout the Industries. Tha im
portant basis Is the strength derived
from the rise In new demand for
factory outputs and wider disposition
to enter Into commitments lor future
needs. Iron and steel production in
this district now cotnparee favorably
with the best previous records. Cot
Btructlon plans denote considerable ac
cumulation for railroads, manufactur
ers and mercantile houses.
The government crop report wa as
Important a factor as expected, and
Its effect has created great encourage-.
ment throughout the productive and
distributive branches. High absorp
tion of breadstutTs and provisions ! a
notable feature, but live stock roar
kets are yet without adequate sup
plies for packing.

Improvement is more manifest l
general trade and industry this week
but there is still present "the feelinr
or conservatism nitnerte noted, wcicl
makes for small and frequent, rather
than heavy individual sales. Develop,
ments have been largely favorable,
chief among these the increased art
rivals of buyers in most markets, I
greater disposition to take bold foi
fall and spring delivery, a very favor
able government crop report, the con
tinuance of the marked strength Is
security markets, the growing Arm
less of the time money market
The railroad situation is improvini
and Idle cars are disappearing on th
western lines as the winter wheat
movement enlarges. Industries art
active, iron and steel leading, wlt
railroads reported buying freely ot
rails, cars and locomotives.
Collections show a little improve
ment, but as yet do not reflect the in
fluence of new crop marketing, possi
bly because of the farmers being bust
ly engaged. Building Is active and
trades catering to this line note rath
er more doing.
