CAMP LIBERTY BOYS.
Twoscore Youth. Having Fine Time at
Scott‘s Cove.
Camp Liberty, a sort.of summer
school and camp for boys, conducted
by the management of the Stamfdrd
Military Academy. formerly the
Stamford Academy. is in full swing
off the shores of Scott's Cove, near
Colieuder‘s Point, in a heavy wood~
land.
The situation is a very good one. and
upwards of forty boys are quartered
in the crimp. with accommodations for
many more. iii fact, more are expect-
ed daily.
The boys range in age from eleven
to nineteen years, and they more
frotn various points in this country
and foreign countries. Among the iri-
teresting chaps are a group of
Spanish boys, that is, boys of Span-
ish parentage. Jose Cararlego, George
Diaz. Louis Olaxarra and Eniilo Eli~
ury are from Havana. Herman Alci-
brides Leon and Roque Ramsbott
are from Venezuela. and George As~
slo from Chile. 0ssio is the boys who
was shot accidentally last winter, and
was dangerously near the border line
of life and death for weeks. He has
now recovered fully, and is strong
and active. In fact. he is one of the
most enthusiastic athletes in the
camp.
The boys' practice sports daily.
They have a field where they can rrtn
and jump and get baseball practice,
and there is a large. bay for “boating
and swimming. Terry Connors, air ex-
pert from Stamford, is the swimming
instructor. and he has made good
‘ swimmers ortt of half a dozen of the
Boys who couldn't sWIni a stroke when
be
boys are very fond of Terry. The
equipment includes a couple of motor-
boats, which are in charge of James
Jensen, of Stamford, and several row-
boats and canoes. Precaution is tak-
en to keep the smaller boys out of
the canoes. and to allow none of the
lads to bathe or go in a boat unless
accompanied by an instructor.
The camp is run on military prin-
ciplcs, but there are‘no deity drills.
There are eleven tents. some of them
large titles, and four with room in each
for three boys. There is a large wood
building for cooking and storage pur-
poses. lu it is an assembly room for
us in extremely wet weather. There is
also a fully equipped hospital tent.
The class work is dead in the open
air in groves of trees. it is chiefly
work in English by the boys of for-
ei'n birth. ‘ .
he camp is under the general di-
rection of Captain A; (l. Bode, of the
academy. The person 'in actrialrcharg‘e,
however, is 'l‘. R. s. Thompson, M. 1)..
of Edinburgh. His assistants are Wil-
lard R. Downing, City College of New
York, and John L. Lon , Yale. Mr,
Louglooks after the war in athletics
as well as helping in the class work.

Bailey and Lewis Vanish.
According to the various stories
patched together llullcy and Lewis dis
appeared around 7 o'clock Saturday
evening. Several people were of the
opinion that they had gone to lloston,
while others thought they had gone to
New York. A letter froru ilailey to A.
.l. Angcvinc and Son telling them to
take their furniture away from the
boarding house this morning was inali-
ed from New York. Tennis from the
Anpmlne store. slid ii. Kricgei' A‘s Com-
pany were right on the job today. in
one letter llriilcy is said to have stated
that he was up to his neck in debt
and there was no other alternative
for him.
Bed Stuff Also Goes.
One of the. creditors stated this
morning that when the members of
the troupe crime. tip from Roton Point
late Saturday night they Iouiid that
their rooms trad been separated from
the bedding that belonged to llalley.
it was supposed that this had been
shipped away. When Bailey or,I.evris
did not put in an appearance at the
point Saturday evening. the perform
slice was delayed until 9 o'clock. Fin-
ally it vvcut on and to the conclusion
ilailey's wife, his niofhcr-lu‘luw and
stepson are also missing.
A Little for the Company.
The house was not a very big one,
but Mr. Regan, one of the members
of the company. looked after the hex
receipts and before anyone had a
chance to garnishec the money it was
distributed pro rate among the. actors
and actresses. so they were. not left
absolutely without money for their
week's work.
Start of the Fun.
Tire start of the fun occurred Sut~
urduy afternoon when a member of
the company, named Making. put on a
little attachment for money due him
since Lewis was connected with the
Payton Stock Company. Lewis had
been part of the Payton Stock Com-
pany. and after the latter Iliult busi-
ness hooked up with iialley on the
Roton Point deal. Hailey has been
showing stationery for some time hear-
ing his picture and naming himself as
“Fred Sarony, the Handcuff King." He.
announced on several occasions that
he would do a turn here, allowing blin-
self to be shackled and sealed in a
mail pouch, but did not carry out his
program. '
Other Creditors.
it was stated this morning that the
local creditors are quite numerous.
From one man it 3was said also that
he had borrowed 3‘25. From the Bailey
and Lewis combination. Wesley Took-
er wants 83 for tending the door and
various other workers about the place
were desirous of getting some money.
with little chance of success staring
them in the face. The musicians also
want a little money and so does most
everybody who furnished-the place
with supplies.

, ANNAPOLlS. Md. .luly lit-The
court of inquiry which is investigating
the cause of the death of Lieut. James
N. Sutton, U. S, M. C., of Portland,
tlregou, opened with due fdrrnality at
, to o‘clock today. Lieut. Sutton's death
on the night of October 12, 1907, re-
sulted from ll pistol shot wound in the
top of his head. The bullet afterward
gfonud within the skull was apparently
'tirc same cartridge as is used iii the
'rtrgtriar .38 calibre service revolvers.
'l'bc naval academy authorities mode a
prompt investigation, with the result
that idc'ut. Stilton was officially rec-
orded as having committed suicide.
Since their the mother and sister of
the dead lieutenant have been unremit-
ting in their efforts to hllve the case
rc-opcncd. Today they. \verc rewarded
when the second investigation began
with the opening of the court ofinquiry
composed of (‘orumaudcr .lobii Hood.

Cole.
The latter has declared that the
present investigation will be thorough,
and that when it is concluded there
will be no doubt iii any impartial mind
as to whether Lieut. Sutton committed
suicide or irot.
The formalities incident to the op-
ening of the court, which were con-
ducted behind closed doors, were soon
concluded. their the hearing was
thrown open and the taking of testi-
mony began. -
How soon this can be concluded is
problcnratical. Only 15 witnesses have
been summoned thus for. Miller Leon-
ard is authority for the statement that
if front the testimony it appears that
any other than the fifteen can throw
light upon the death of Lieut. Sutton.
they will be promptly summoned if
they are within reach of the mandate
of the court of inquiry.

carefully written and affecting much
better English than usual to h
incarcerated Castlllan recover only.the
small sum of $480,000. in return for
the. recovery the wily Don offers to
give up no less than a third of the
suuiu—a mere bugatelle of $160,000.

But Mr. Lurle has read about these

A 6’00 POUND SUNFlSH.
The sloop John It. George Bennett
skipper, towed one of the largest sun-
fishes ever seen here into port this
morning. It is estimated that the fish
weighs about 600 pounds.
Bartlett was cruising in Napeag bay
in Long island Tuesday morning
wh his attention was attracted by
the fin of a large fish going through
the water. Thinking that it was a
shark he. went out in s sharpie and
put an eel spear into the creature.
The fish was towed to this port and
all day it has been the object of curi-
osity to a crowd gathered at Fergu-
son‘s wharf. Sunflshes are seldom“
seen in these water. as they inhabit
the seas further south and‘eastr-New.
