DEFENDERS IN TIGHT POSITION.
Red Scouts Watch Every Move of '
Opposing Forces, Enabling Gen- j
eral Bliss to Effectually
Block Their Flans.
Uridgewntor, Mass., Aug. lii.-The
red invading army, headed hy the Sev
enth New York infimiry, with three
compnnles of the Connecticut Infantry,
administered the first decisive defeat
the lilne Massachusetts defending
forces have suffered since this cruel
war began on Sunday.
After au hour's lighting the defend
ing army was forced to retreat. Not
content with that victory, the .Seventh,
joined by the Tenth cavalry, the negro
regulars, attacked the camp of the de
fense and compelled a retreat of ten
miles.
General Pew had the extreme left of
his army, numbering ;t,0:iil. stretched
from Tlticut to Brant Koek, a point
which lias been the objective point of
General Bliss wince Monday. General
Tew was In a tight place. After a
council with his officers lie changed
his plans completely. ,
Ills second brigade of infantry, com
prising the Fifth. F.ighth and Ninth
Massachusetts regiments, and Battery
B was without support, and his caval
ry was six miles away from any of his
forces. Unless he could gain a posi
tion in the town of Wntervlllc it seem
ed hardly possible that his army could
win.
General Bliss' northward movement
was on n settled plan with which ev
ery organization under his command
was familiar. In addition it was clean
ly executed with evidence that the
reds had posted General Bliss on the
advance of the blue. In the reds' ad
vance there had been no sign of hesi
tation, but the same cannot lie said of
General Pew's forces. The latter had
entered into every battle In a faint
hearted manner.
Reds Fall to Cut Cable.
Nahant. Mass., Aug. .V detach
ment of the red army of Invasion ,'
which was dispatched to the vicinity
of Boston harbor on board a military
transport by order of General Bliss of
the Invading forces failed In a daring
attempt to cut the cable between Tort
r.anks, Wlnthrop. and Bailey's hill.
Xahant. The reds landed on the rocks '
at the foot of Bailey's hill, but were
promptly discovered by the blue out
posts and driven back.
At Bailey's lilll a secondary station
connected with the Fort Banks garri
son has been established. To prevent
communication between the secondary
station, a place of great strategic im
portance, and the fort was the object
of the raid. He-enforcements from the
Eighty-fourth and the Eighty-seventh
companies of United States coast artil
lery have been sent of Forts Banks
and Strong.
Big Gun Firing Annoys Newport,
Xewpnrt, It. I., Aug. 10. At a meet
ing of the Xewpnrt committee of thir
ty in the casino complaints were re
ceived from summer residents about

ment could not be made by which the :
forts could have their big gun prac
tice nt some other time of year than

Chief Forester's Conservation Ideas
Lustily Cheered at Denver.
Denver, Aug. 10 Gilford Piuchot,
chief forester of the United States de
partment of agriculture, and Thomas
F. YVnlsh, millionaire mine owner, ex
changed compliments before the trims
misslsslppl congress. As a concluding
note In the harmony of the session the
delegates- loudly cheered Mr. Piuchot's
address.
The "enemies of Plnchotism" said
they were satisfied with the conserva
tion ideas of the speaker and joined In
the cheering as lustily as did the ad
herents of tiie chief forester.
Mr. Walsh In presenting Mr. Piuchot
referred to the latter as a patriotic
young American, who, rich In his own
right, is devoting himself to the serv
ice of his country and whose mistakes,
if there are any. are those of the brad
and not of the heart.
In return Mr. Piuchot spoke of the
mine owner as a "soldier of the com
mon good" and wished for more of his
kind. And In this mood the congress
listened with evident satisfaction.
Based on the "Hoosevelt policies,"
Mr. IMnchot's address dwelt on con
servation as a practical business pol
icy, lie said that the loss or injury of
one great staple would not only injure
that particular business, but would
strike nt the heart of many allied In
terests, John AY. Noble, formerly secretary of
the Interior, also spoke on conserva
tion. SAILOR RESCUED FROM RAFT.

THAW
No Extra Privileges at the
Mdtteawan Asylum.
MUST GO TO COURT FOR THEM
Superintendent Iamb Gives Kim a
Small Boom, but Says ifTliaw
Wants More He Can
Appeal.
I'ouglikecpsle. N. Y., Aug. 1!). Harry
K. Thaw was brought back lo the Mat
leawan Insane asylum from White
Plains Jail under the personal escort
of Dr. Baker, the assistant superin
tendent, and two detectives.
On ills arrival at the institution he
was given a private room, but his ex
pectations, based upon the remarks
nade by Justice Mills that he would
lie -'rallied many other privileges, were
lndely dashed.
Superintendent Lamb issued the fol
lowing statement:
"There will be no changes at all re
gard lug Thaw's incarceration here. He
will be subjected to the same rules as
before he left to go to White Plains.
He will have a special room not be
cans" ' - V Harry K. Thaw, but for
the reason that this hospital was built
to accommodate .KM) patients, and we
now have nearly SOO. YVo are very
crowded, and some of the patients
have small rooms, which were built
for the attendants. Thaw has one.
"I did not take It from Justice Mills'
decision that Thaw was to have any
special privileges. YVo will follow the
court's orders, however, and If Thaw
is not satisfied he can appeal to the
courts. At present we will adhere to
the old routine.
"If Thaw should appeal for special
privileges, then both sides would have
a chance to be heard. Ills recent trial
did not bring out anything specific
along tills line. The judge Is away,
and until he returns we will treat
Thaw just as we did before he left for
White Plains."
Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, mother of
Stanford White's slayer, has arrived
at Mattcawan and has taken apart
ments near the asylum. She will
spend several hours every afternoon
with her son.
Mrs. Alice Copley Thaw, former
Countess of Yarmouth, returned from
her trip to the Megantic fish and
game preserve in Maine, where Jus
tice Mills Is enjoying a vacation and
whore she walked ten miles through
the woods to see him. She told Harry
of the failure of her quest and Jus
tice Mills' refusal to grant her per
sonal appeal.
.Mrs. Thaw denied that her daughter
had offered on behalf of the Thaw
family to furnish security to guaran
tee Harry Thaw's good behavior, pro
vided Justice Mills would liberate him
in the custody of his family. She add
ed: 'The only request made for my son
was that he be transferred to the
Bloomlngdale asylum, although ns a
sane man he should have been liberat
ed altogether.
"There was no suggestion of bonds
or any of the other fantastic features
mentioned. It w,as simply the argu
ment that an acquitted man ought not
to be placed In a criminal institution."

LAW WILL STAND, SAYS TAFT.
President Thinks Little of Attacks on
New Corporation Tax.
Beverly. Mass., Aug. 10. Reports
from Washington and New York that
the constitutionality of the new corpo
ration tax is to be tested just as soon
as an effort is made to collect it have
not disturbed the president, ns lie told
a number of callers at the Taft cot
tage. The tests and the protests, the
president declared, were all anticipat
ed, and no threats of the corporation
lawyers now cause him any alarm,
Mr. Taft, who Is the father of the
corporation tax Idea, Is thoroughly con
vinced that the tax will stand any
test that may be applied to It. Attor
ney General Wlckershani and Senator
Hoot collaborated on the corporation
tax provision of the tariff bill, and the
measure ns enacted, they believe, will
survive any attempt to nullify It,
Mr. Taft said that the test cases
were but natural and that no unusual
or new system of taxation over had
been submitted to without some sort
ot fight.

ARS. SUTTON SAD
jL'ays Vi d'.C: of Co;.; J
!s Itoi.'estly Wrong.
CASE WILL BE PUSHED FURTHER
Her Counsel Declares That Recent
Inquiry Is Only a "Curtain
Raiser to the Main Per
formance." Washington. Aug. 111. Mrs. Knsa It.
Sutton, mother of Lieutenant James
N. Sutton, is sad, sorry and indignant
at the verdict of the naval court of lu
qulry. She said today:
"I consider the verdict that tny son
was responsible for his own death and
the action of the court In exonerating
Lieutenants Adams, Utlcy and Oster
rnan as manifestly unjust and wrong.
Further action will be takeu you can
rest assured.
"There is still no question In my
mind that my son did not commit sui
cide, and the decision by the court ot
Inquiry lias hy no means halted me in
my determination to vindicate him."
Henry K. Davis, attorney for Mrs.
Sutton, said he was not satisfied with
tiie decision of the court and will con
tinue ids efforts to prove that Lieuten
ant Sutton was murdered. Mr. Davis
indicated that, he would take further
steps hi the matter, but would not In
dicate what bis future course would
be.
"The judge advocate's handling of
the ease," Mr. Davis commented, "is
fitly supplemented by the court's ac
tion, which makes the Inquiry a mere
curtain raiser to the main perform
ance." Mr. Davis declined to make
any further statement regarding the
case at the present time.
Arthur A. Birney, counsel for Lieu
tenant George E. Adams, expressed
his gratification over the decision, say
ing there was no foundation for any
statement that Lieutenant Adams and
others will sue Mrs. Sutton for dam
ages. "I understand," wild Mr. Birney,
"that the Sutton side does not intend
to let the case drop. But I can't see
that they can do anything except stir
up some congressional fuss. There la
no evidence on which to build a case,
and they will fall utterly In any of the
regularly constituted avenues for bring
ing about a prosecution."
In Its decision the court censures
Lieutenants I'tley. Bevan and Willing
for not dlsaruilug Sutton or calling as
sistance during the fight and finds as
follows: t
"That no iiosslble charge of criminal
ity lies against any of the participants
iu the fray except Lieutenant Sutton
himself and that Lieutenant Sutton Is
directly and solely 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.
"That the charges of willful murder
nud conspiracy to conceal It made by
the complainant, Mrs. Sutton, mother
of Lieutenant Sutton, are purely imag
inary and unsupported by even a shad
ow of evidence, truth or reason."
There was a minority report of the
court signed by Commander .1. Hood
of the navy, president of the court.
He says that Lieutenants I'tley, Ad
ams, Oytermnu. Willing and Bevan
should have been court martlaled nt
the time and that Lieutenants Adams
nud Osterman should have been pun
ished. Captain E. II. Campbell, judge advo
cate general of the navy, submitted
the result of the court's deliberations
to Acting Secretary of the N-ivy Wln
throp. In acting on the ease Mr. Wln
throp says:
"The above reeommendntii ns of t he
Judge advocate general are approved.
"By Its concurrence In the opinion
of the court and that expressed In the
minority report the department Indi
cates Its disapproval of the lax state
of discipline shown by the evidence to
have existed at the marine school of
application prior to and at the time of
the death of Lieutenant Sutton.
"The result of this laxity has brought
serious discredit not only on the offi
cers directly responsible for the elll
clency of the Institution, but unfortu
nately on the marine corps as a whole."
