A JAPANESE GIRL III SUTTOII CASE

She Is Relied Upon by Man's Mother to Give Important Testimony. SHE FORWARDS A LETTER TELLS GRIEVING PARENT NOT TO BECOME ILL AND TO PERSIST IN LEARNING WHO SON'S MURDERER IS. v (American News Service) Annapolis, Md., July 24. A statement of a pretty Japanese girl, who served In the capacity of governess in a family of Col. Charles A. Doyen, commandant of the barracks, at the time of Lieut. Jas. N. Sutton's tragic death, two years ago, is relied upon by the dead man's family to aid them in proving that Sutton was slain. In a letter to Mrs. James N. Sutton, the marine officers mother, the girl, whose name is TJislnn, wrote: "It will not do for you to become ill, for you want to find out who killed your eon." Taught Her Prayers. The girl's statement that Sutton taught her to say her prayers when she told him how she grieved over her mother's death Is the more remarkable because of the testimony of the witnesses that the dead naval officer wa3 at all times arrogant, overbearing and quarrelsome. In making the letter ' public. Mrs. Sutton declared that she would take the case to the U. S. supreme court if necessary to prove that a "party of thugs" killed her son. The letter, which follows in part, throws a remarkable sidelight on the character of the dead officer: "Dear Mrs. Sutton: I feel so sorry for yon because your pretty son is dead. He was always so kind to me and to-everybody that everyone loved him. "Don't grieve too much over the death of the pretty soldier. It will not do for you to become ill. for you want to find out who killed your son. I lost my mother a few years ago. I felt so bad that I never got over it. I loved the pretty officer next to my dear mother. He was so good and kind to me and he was so pretty, too." The letter was written by the wife of Col. Doyen as the young woman dictated it.

THRONE OF SPAIN IS SHAKING F BLOWS OF J E (Continued From Page One.) tage of the opportunities offered by the universal unrest which has swept over Spain. Today while Alfonso is posting loyal troops in all strategic positions to quell any uprising in its incipiency the republican and radical press renewed their attacks upon the government and its martial policy with redoubled vigor. The king is hooted wherever he appears. His Italian Hand. There are some who see in this tidal wave of unrest the Italian hand of th3 new pretender. Carefully cloaked under a veil of republican sentiment he is inciting the people in every region through his agents. They are posted in the lonely mountain villages of the Pyrenees and in the stately coast citias of the east and south. The opportunities they see they have made for themselves. It is strongly felt that Don Jaime is the power behind the present revolutionary move ment and that, while working under the guise of republicanism, he really knows that Spain can not exist as a republic and thus sees the way paved to the Spanish throne. The rigorous censorship which 5s being exercised throughout the prov inces is adding fuel to the flames of resentment which are already strongly burning. The fire brand Spanihs, ex citable of temper and strong in their desire for liberty, are incensed over the restrictions. The government claims these measures justified; the crafty republicans and radicals declare the government is carrying out a policy against the will of the people and against the best wishes of the state. Jails Are Filled. The jaila are being filled with politi cal offenders. Secret agents of the Pretenders followers and those who are merely suspected of being agents are being cast into prison. The fiery orators declaiming against the Afri can policy of the government and the wasting of human lives, and pulled from their pulpits and cast behind stone walls; the radical editors who unlimbered unbridled pens have been clapped behind bars where they languish while their desire for vengeance against an- unjust government grows stronger every day. In the meantime Don Jaime directs its campaign. He is a restless man of forty years. Inheriting many of his father's characteristics, Don Jaime found his father's supporters loyal to him. 4 King Alfonso, the once beloved monarch, may find himself ruthlessly op posed by this middle-aged scion of the house or Bourbon. Don Jaime is a man of immediate action, too. In 1S96 when his sister Donna Elvira, who eloped with Count Folchi, a penniless hunchback, wrote to her father that her home life had become so unbear able she could stand it no longer, Don Jaime obtained a leave of absence from the twenty-fourth regiment Prus sian dragoons of Lubny, to which he was then attached and went to the Spanish frontier poste-haste with the : intention of killing Folchi if the latter crossed the border Into France. Inherited Traits. Don Jaime could hardly help inher iting the traits of politics and action His father was the third in the line of pretenders, and had fought, stubbornly all through his lifetime for the throne. Don Jaime's pretensions to the Spanish throne are based on the ground that Isabelle. tutor, of Ferdin and VII, who was Don Carlos' grand uncle, and Christina, mother of Alfon so XII, owing to the Salic law were debarred from succession. Don Carlos by sheer force of arms ruled northern Spain for four years, but was later driven over into France. Thus the pretender comes upon the scene. Spain is figuratively a finan cial corpse. Stripped by the SpanishAmerican war and not yet recovered she finds herself facing a situation so serious that the disrunti i of he nation may hinge upon it. The Kabyle and Riff tribesmen are prepared to put an army of 50,000 men in the field. all equipped with the latest and most deadly firearms. To raise, equip and keep a force of 50,000 men in the field against the tribesmen would shatter the poor remnants of Spain's finances. Without war Spain needs money, With war the situation is desperate, The newspapers, save those of the royalists loyal to Alfonso are teaching the people the facts as they see t'Jnra The pretender is behind the curtain The stage Is set for the greatest nat ional drama Europe has seen in a de cade.

This includes electricians, engineers, firemen, boiler men, carpenters, brickmasons and machinists, and cripples the plant so that the strike breakers are useless.

The company's ef forts to secure professional strike breakers so far has been confined to Pittsburg agencies it is claimed, but if not more successful will be extended to Cleveland, Chicago and other cities.
