(By Leased Wise to The Times)
Annapolis, Md., Aug. 11 The Sut
ton inquiry will be rushed to a con
clusion today. Sergeant Archibald
Todd, the latest sensational witness
to appear, was on hand when court
opened. He was reticent when- asked
about an interview published first in
Boston. In that Interview Todd was
purported to have said he was an eye
witness to the Sutton tragedy and to
have seen the young lieutenant shot
down as he was funning across the
parade grounds.
"I don't know anything about it,'
be said. :
After the minutes of yesterday's
session had been read this morning
Judge 'Advocate Leonard offered tp
summon Private Hlgglns "from Hon

Uaved HiggtnM about the. time the
' fight between officers began but the
Button attorneys indicated that they
' would not trouble ihe government to
summons Higgins.
. ' .Rather grewsome was the testi
mony of James M. Wldefleld and H. R.
Taylor, undertakers. They testified
as to the condition of the body but
nothing important was brought out.
. Mrs. Sutton and Mrs. Parker both
shuddered and hung their heads
while these and 'similar details fol

subsequant embalming,.
Several witness were then called
to verify the stenographic record of
former testimony. During the perio4
It developed that r the record of the
present Sutton inquiry has now
reached more than thirteen hundred
typewritten pages as compared with
a record of 38 pages for the former
Inquest, which resulted in a verdict
that Sutton committed suicide. It is
. understood that the Sutton attorneys
.will lay stress on this point in sub
stantiation of their charges of a most
incomplete first Inquiry and will urge
on account of this and other reasons,
a reversal of its verdict.

New York Yacht Club Fleet Meets
Terrific Gale as It Rounded Cape
CodMany Boats Were Disabled
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Boston. Mas.. Aue. 11 A forty knot
northerly gale with a touch of autumn
in it met the New York Yatrh club
Haat a If trlinri'pfl Pfl.np PoH last niffllt
and at daylight today several spurred
craft were in distress, und at !t a. m.
not a yacht had appeared at the linish
line at Cape Elizabeth. Me.
The fleet was scattered and several or
the boats comprising it were badly
damaged.
Steam yachts which accompanied the
fleet are sounding by along the route of
the fleet to . give aid to any of the
sailing craft needing it.
It was feared at Portland todar that
some of the yachts that weathered the
Cape storm had met with disaster.
Several of the yachts were being
tnu-ed tn the nearest ports according
to reports that have reached shipping
circles in the city. Pilot Decker of
h hla- unpr Harvard, which reached
this port today from New York, re
ported that between 4:30 and 7:30
o'clock this morning he sighted three
yachts off Cape Cod in distress.
The wind was blowing northerly at
a 40 mile gale. As the Harvard came
through Pollock Rip, Pilot Decker sld
he caught sight of a. yacht partially.
President Taft
seur Treatment to Reduce;
Was Becoming Alarmed
Beverly, Mass., Aug. 11 Before
he started for the golf links today
President -Taft submitted to the min
istrations of a vigorous masseur, who
has contracted to bring down the
preidentlal weight:
Dr. Walker is the masseur and he
hails from Boston, with a long string
of 1 victorious achievements against
adipose tissue to his credit. Presi
dent Taft is alarmed at the onward
march of his avoirdupois and is
taking desperate measures to check
it.' ;-VV;;.,- v". .:'.--.'-... ; '',),-
Dr. Walker ma'de his first call to
day, visiting the summer white house
before breakfast. 'This he will do
every day. v
Taft'B weight is now up to 326
pounds and he became alarmed at
the prospect. For more than half an
and Marquis Edouard de Reymonte
wrecked.
The members of the crew were at
the pumps. As the yacht did not ask
for assistance the Harvard continued
on its way.
When off Naeset the Harvard passed
the Merchants liner Massachusetts
bound for lloston with a disable yac ht
In' tow. The yacht was completely
dismasted. Shortly after this .another
sloop was seen driven before the gale
with a flag in her rigging set union
clown indicating that the little vessel
was in distress. The sloop was low
in the water as if she had sprung a
leak or had sped a great deal of water.
The Harvard put in close to shore and
sent the tusr Orion to her assistance.
When daylight came the life savers
at Nauset found that a small tender
equipped with a gasoline engine had
been blown ashore four miles below
Highland light. Another yawl was
picked up on the lower beach. Two
small yachts under bare poles were be.
ing carried southward by a wind that
blew fifty miles at B o'clock this morn
ing. At Portsmouth at 9 o'clock an
other yacht was towed to the port
by a tug.
The revenue cutter Androscoggin
was sent to aid those In distress.
Taking Mas
hour this morning Dr. Walker applied
himself to the presidential bulk and
he hopes to reduce Mr. Taft to 300
before a week has elapsed.
The masseur worked with feverish
energy, kneading the chest of the
massive executive, then the abdomen,
and finally the huge muscles of the
arm, attacking every lump of fat and
sinew. After Dr. Walker had finished
with the massage treatment Presi
dent Taft In negligee, sought the
lawn of the Evans cottage and went
through some gymnastics prescribed
in the anti-fat treatment. Dr. Wal
ker looked on and as the perspiration
trickled down the Taftian brow he
nodded vigorous approval and shout
ed "Bully; fine".
Then the president went to breakfast.

NO KORE BEGGING
Mayor Takes, This Action on the Ad
vice of Aldermen Upchurch, Brown,
Peebles and City Attorney Clark,
Who Were Present at the Informal
Hearing Captain Winchester Given
Opimrtunity to Explain Charges
Had Solicited Funds in Practically
Every City in the State Two of
the Letters.
In view of additional evidence con
tained in letter from cities in our own
state. Mayor J. S. Wynne today with
drew the permit to Captain Winches
ter, of the American Salvation, and
he is no longer allowed to use the
streets of the city for the purpose of
holding religious meetings, and can
not solicit funds from the citizens.
This action was taken by the mayor
upon the advice of City Attorney
Walter Clark, Jr., and Aldermen
Brown, Upchurch and Peebles, who
were present at an informal meeting
in the mayor's office this morning,
when the accumulative testimony was
read and Captain Winchester was
given an opportunity of refuting the
numerous charges.
The mayor notified Captain Win
chester that such a meeting would be
held and invited the aldermen to be
present. Of the three aldermen who
were present at the meeting, two of
them, Peebles and Upchurch, were on
the special committee appointed by
the board to look into the charges
against the Winchesters several
weeks ago, when the board recom
mended that a permit be granted. .
" Aldermaa-:: Upchurch, who :-waa
chairman of this' committee, explain
ed at the meeting today that on-the
former occasion there were no speci
fied charges, but that the committee
was called on to Investigate a story
printed in a Norfolk paper. This
story, explained Captain Winchester
to the committee, referred to his
brother and not to himself. Upon
this explanation and after looking
over his books, the committee re
commended to the board that he be
allowed to continue his work. This
morning, however, there were speci
fied charges from people within the
borders of our own state, in the face
ol which there was a unanimous opin
ion that the permit should be revok
ed until the charges could be satis
factorily refuted or explained.
The mayor announced at the out
set that the meeting had been called
to investigate new charges agalnft
the Winchesters, not the charges pre
ferred by "The Salvation Army," but
by police demartments and citizens.
A great pile of letters had been re
ceived by Mr. Wynne himself, Dr. R.
S. Stephenson and The Evening
Times, all of which contained very
damaging stories about the American
Salvation Army and its workers.
Some of these letters are printed be
low. Captain Winchester admitted that

SPANISH MAKE STRONG
EFFORT TO END WAR
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Madrid, Aug. 11 No official infor
mation was given out by the govern
ment today concerning the Moroccan
war but from reports of a quasi offi
cial nature it is believed that General
Marina today began his attack upon
the Moors in a desperate effort to
drive them away from Melilla and
end the war. '
For weeks the Spanish force in Me
lilla has been strengthened as the sol
diers could be moved out of Spain,
until the forces of General Marina,
who commands the city, are now 38,
000 fighting men. 1
The Spanish artillery has been
bombarding the Moorish stronghold
on Mt. Gurngu daily in preparation
for the grand sally. Food and am
munition in great abundance has been
taken into the city. ,; .)."
According to General Marina's
plans, he hoped 'to crush out the
Moorish rebellion by a Btngle blow.
The campaign, which is reported to
have started today, will close before
the end ef - September, according to
the plans of the Spanish commander,
