HUGH SUTHERLAND
Third Letter
DUELIN, June 2S. — Because of its
devastating effects upon the
country and the people, the pass-
Ing j=y6tem of Irish landlordism has
always been the moct prominent of
the evils of misrule. There is another
long standing jrrievar.ee. however, and
:ius is the denial o£ decent educational
facilities. That the doors 'so long j
barrfd by injustice and prejudice have
finally been swung open constitutes one
of the most important achievements
: of progress In the last seven years.
The century old fight of Irish pa
triotism, culminating during recent
years in the masterly campaigns of the
Irish parliamentary party, has won tri
umph, at last in the establishment of
the National University of Ireland — a
free, untrammeled. comprehensive insti- [
tution of learning, to be owned and
governed absolutely by the people of
Ireland themselves.
How' great an advance this is can
be understood only upon realization' of\
the anomalous and intolerable condi
tions which haveT«ri«d In Ireland in
the past. The country, it should be
observed, \u25a0was literally confiscated by
England through successive conquests
and land grabbing invasions. And the
subjugation was made permanent by
the deliberate withholding of educa
tion from the people. In passing, 4t
may be noted that even in the mat
ter of education the national demands
are inextricably associated with the
great foundation demand for self gov
ernment.
"Little Short of Infamous" |
During all the years there has been
virtui.lly but one institution of higher
leaning in all Ireland; that is, an
institution having the prestige and
po»t: of public endowment and sup
port. This is Trinity college, Dublin,
justi/ famous for its scholarship and
th<: high attainments of its graduates,
but little short of tnfamous in the
inju-stice of. \u25a0which It has been the
beneficiary.
Ordinarily, religion has no proper
place in dealing with national problems I
of education, but in this case it «an
r.«.i be excluded from the discussion. ;
Indeed, ft is at the very foundation of ;
ttui claims which have just been recog
r;i:.pd by thte British parliament- Two
statements of fact will eet forth the
iscue clearly. First, four-fifths of the
pwople of Ireland are Roman Catho-
Jic«; second. Trinity rollege, the only
Institution of its kind in the country,
ei>Jowed n-jth Irish funds and growh
tat upon an estate taken frotn the peo
ple, is uncompromisingly and aggres
sively Protestant in its aims, its at
mosphere and its regulations for the
government of. Its members.
Founded by Queen Bess
The circumstances of its founding are !
vividly significant- of the course it was
to pursue through the centuries and
upon which it continues today. Trinity
college was established by Queen KHz- \
abeth with the proceeds of lands con
fiscated from Irish monasteries and
Irish Catholic citizens, and Its avowed
purpose was to propagate the princi
ples of the Protestant religion^ For
more than 100 years It was. open only
to members of the established .(Pro
testant Episcopal) church. During the
brief but brilliant regime of the Irish
parliament, forcibly brought to an end
by the act of union of 1800, It opened
its doors to students of all denomina
tions; but not until IST* were removed
the religious tests which barred not
only Catholics, but Presbyterians, from
Its', offices and scholarships, and it be
came, in theory, -undenominational.
Nevertheless, it is still- almost wholly
Episcopalian in government and wholly
so in spirit
; Sir Robert Peel sought to remove the
obvious # evil. by establishing Strictly
undenominational colleges in Cork, Gal
way and Belfast. But here the • pendu
lum swung too far the other way. Cork
and Gallway colleges have, been failures
because they were hopelessly at vari
ance with Catholic principles of educa
tion.-which insist upon some connec
tion - between - secular, and - religious
teaching. -
Question of Religion
The Belfast institution has flourished

TELL S STORY
OF SUTTON'S
DEATH IN FIGHT
Lieutenant Adams" of Marines
Says Midnight Battle Started
After Auto Ride
Admits Pushing Classmate's
Face Into Earth in Effort to
Check His Shooting
• ANNAPOLIS. July 19.— The opening
session here today of the court of In
quiry, conducting a second Investiga
tion into the death of Lieutenant James
Nuttle Sutton of the United States ma
rine, corps Svas replete with dramatlo
situations.
Lieutenant Robert E. Adams, Sut
ton's former classmate at- the academy
and one of the principal actors In the
midnight fight which cost young Sut
ton his life nearly two years ago, told
a graphic story. . {
With nervous demeanor arid yet al
most defiant under the severe cross
examination of Henry E. Davis, coun
sel .for Mrs. Sutton, mother of Lieuten
ant Sutton,' Adams sat facing Sutton's
mother and sister during his examina
tion. At one point Lieutenant Adams
and an orderly enacted .the struggle
with Sutton. The witness* chair was
removed and they both lay prone upon
the floor. The witness was still under
cross examination when the inquiry
adjourned until tomorrow.
Davis succeeded In bringing out a
number of discrepancies in Adams* tes
timony , compared with his version of
the tragedy at the former investiga
tion, when the board of. inquiry found
Sutton had committed suicide.
Would Discredit Suicide
; After the session Davis said It was
not his intention to fasten the respon
sibility of Sutton's death on any one,
but that every effort would be made to i
discredit and refute the suicide theory, j
Roelker Is an important witness who
has" not yet been located. His mother
accepted service of a subpena for him
in "Washington, it was said, t but,Jils
location "w^a^not known. He, left, the
service soon" after the . Sutton tragedy.
Adams paid he attended- the dance at
the academy; the; night of . October 12,
1907, and afterward . went to Carvel
hall "with Lieutenants Osterman and
Utley.. There they r met Lieutenant Sut
ton and started -in Owens' automobile
from Carvel hall w,ith ' Sutton to the
marine camp.' •' \u25a0
"We went over the College creek
bridge," said the witness, "and going
over the bridge the machine was mak
ing considerable noise, and as -we were
out after hours, 12 o'clock being the
limit. Lieutenant Utley suggested we
stop the machine and walk, so as not
to be caught.' I reached over and
touched the chauffeur and told him to
stop.' Sutton calle"me;a d— d- fool and
said he would lick hell out of me. I
unfastened my collar and jumped out.
Sutton and the others got out and as
we were preparing to fight the senior
officer stepped In and ordered us- to
stop andfsaid we could fight It out the!
next morning. .* . !\u25a0. ,
Strike Each Other
"We started for the barracks, and got
under an electric, light, when Sutton ;
and Osterman struck each other sev
eral times before they could be sep- j
arated. I .stood from 15 to 25 feet
away' during that time. 'From there;
we went by- the old' road to the bar- j
racks to report to the officer -of^tho j
day, leaving Sutton behind. He re- j
fused to- go' with us. I told Osterman |
on the ; way over if- 1 had known, as ]
I heard then, that Sutton 'shot up' the!
camp two weeks before,, we' would have ;
got . a rifle to protect ourselves! On '
the way over an officer held us up. It
proved to be Utley, , and he ordered us j
back to the scene of the , fight to see !
if we could find any jc_lotties.r".!"l start- I
ed down the path and had gone 30 : or
"40; paces whenjl saw. something' white, i
It seemed to arise,, and a voice said:
'That's that d d Adams. I'm going, to
kil\ you.' He* fired." I ran at him. He
fired again. We grappled. He fired
a third time and hit^meMn- the .finger.
.'. "As we wheeled 'around! I saw Roel
ker in. a position to assist me \u25a0 I threw
Sutton around and/ got on. his back,
trying to; keep him ; from shooti ng. *At
Uiat>; time some one jumped on Sut
ton's; left hand. .1 don't- know who, -it
was. "There was: a- shot and r cried:
'My ,. God, "'has he killed^ Roelker?' \ As I ;
stood up there , was a; flash and! I looked i
toward 'Sutton to see him prostrate and I
evidently dead." .; , |

YOUTH GUIDES
DETECTIVES TO
STOLEN COIN
Clerk Who Took Big Sura
Breaks Down and Shows
Hiding Place of Loot
Package Containing Currency
Taken From Express Office
by Young Employe
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
CHICAGO, July 19— Clayton T. Zim
merman Jr., a% clerk on a salary of $55
a month in the "outmoney" office of
the Adams express company, was ar
rested today for the' theft of the pack
age of 110,000 in currency which dis
appeared mysteriously last Tuesday,
baffling a score of detectives. Zim
merman' confessed taking the money.
He is 20 years old.
Handling close to $1,000,000 a day in
the office of the express company
turned the young man's head, and when
he saw an opportunity to ."hold out" a
small fortune he admits, he secreted
the 110,000 package and went on about
his work. .
When he was left alone in the ex
press company's office iast Monday
night Zimmerman tore open the bun
dle, which he had concealed earlier in
the evening and filled his pockets with
the hundreds of brand new J5 and $10
bills which the package contained, in
one pocket he also placed 'the string
and wrappings.
Takes Money Home
Then, leaving the office a* few min
utes later — It was just midnight— he
boarded a Madison street car. and start
ed for his residence, 138 4 West Monroe
street. A few blocks from his home
he took the package wrappings and
rolling them into a wad cast them into
a vacant lot. . . t
Upon his arrival home he extracted
from his bulging pockets the bright
new/ bills and placliyr ;. them In one
bundle rolled them into .an* old news
paper and ,h\a 'them^ni'the*; bathroom
In - a • hole «ori;-e*tr«/j' c* a-i>aael>oßrd elf-
rectly behind the bathtub. '' -
There the money vrai „ found during
the day by the detectives after Zim
merman had led' them to the l: hiding
place. : With the exception of one $10.
bill the money was all there. The num
of' this bill, which the clerk refuses
to account for, is 12111600. The detec
tives had the "number of every bill in
the complete package, and they, de
clare they would have traced the theft
by means of these numbers if they had
not apprehended Zimmerman \u25a0In any
other. way- I '.-."\u25a0;"/;/
Youth Regrets Confessing
The package' cpntaining the $10,000
was turned over, to the Adams express
company at 8 p. m. last Monday by a
messenger from the National Bank of
the Republic. It was directed to. the
Second national bank of Monmouth, 111.
: In* his' confession Zimmerman said:
"I made a mistake in the first place* by
making up-my mind to steal it, but I
made a second mistake a moment later.
In abstracting the way bill which fol
lowed the $10,000 one I absentminded
ly. abstracted it for the bank "at 1 Mon
mouth, 111. I was not excited in the
least. # It was simply carelessness.
"At 3 o'clock, today after 1 had been
sweated a. number of times, but without
tellinganything I knew, the detectives
took me to my/home. They: talked to
nic some time and when"! saw' the Jig
was up f simply told them all. I told
them where the \u25a0' moiioy was and they
got it.
"This was/ the third, big mistake I
made.- I realize now I was. a fool to
tell where the money was. \u25a0 I should
haVe stood' pat."

MYSTERY VEILS

OF M. C. CLEAVES
Southern Pacific Official, in
Whose Office Thefts Occurred,
Can Not Be Found
Railroad Company Tries in Vain
to Locate Vanished Assistant
Freight Agent
Melville C. Cleaves, assistant local
freight; agent of the Southern Pacific
railroad company, in whose offices
thefts of more than $6,000, charged to
the three clerks, ] were discovered two
weeks ago/ could • not be found yes
terday by his superiors, and a clerk
sent to the railroad • official's ; resi
dence, 1442 "East .. Seventeenth street,
Fruit Vale, .found. the^ house closed and
dark.. -Neither" Cleaves nor his wife
could be .found., . »" .
William J.- Hardy, local freight agent.
received a telephone message from his
assistant that he was ill, but yester
day.-as Cleaves still remained away, a
messenger was sent posthaste to his
Fruitvale home. He reported that
Cleaves was ' not there.
". All the house remained
closed and untenanted. •.
Cleaves Not Suspected }
"We' ! did not ; -suspect Cleaves of th^
thefts,'*'. Hardy "said last night, "and.
Indeed, the matters connected with the
losses have. been checked up. and the
affair, dismissed as settled. Cleaves
telephoned that he was 111,, and 'so
could not be. at the office. He did not
come down to his desk today at all."
Hardy was in the cast -on a business
trip when the peculations In his office
were perpetrated, and Cleaves was in
full charge. On Hardy's return the
thefts; ; were.; discovered, -and , Bedford
Cameron, a freight clerk in tjie employ
of the company for 12 years; Gordon
Glidden,;iri the employ of the .railroad
for 10. years, -and a ; clerk, named iMar^
shalle. an employe of the companj- for
eight years,' were placed. under lnvesti
.g^Upnand. later discharged. -It- was
found that sums of. money had been
taken .from the sacks of coin -while they
were en route to the banks, and the de
posit tags on the bags altered to" repre
sent\the sums left after the- amounts
had been abstracted. \u25a0 -
\ 'Cleaves remained in his position, and
no. suspicion was cast upon him. . ,^
Sum Stolen Totals $6,000
, The process of shaving that resulted
in the extensive losses was carried on
successfully for some weeks while
Hardy Remained away. 'In Cameron's
department :the loss was placed at
$2,000, in Glidden^s at $500 and in Mar
shalle'sat;s3oo. The auditing depart
ment, placed; on the; case, believed that
a gigantic system of fraud was about
to be . exposed, and other men \n the
freight department were .placed under
Investigation. The whole sum missing
was placed, at a conservative estimate,
at $6,000.
The three men dismissed from their
positions pending the investigation
were: well .known and 'members of
prominent families, and the • incident
caused a sensation in .the Flood build-
\ n , s -y }L is astatement often repeated
that the Southern Pacific never-con
dones a ; theft." and the definite trend of
the Investigation therefore was watched
with the greatest interest. Within the
last few days, seemingly, the affair had
quieted down.

Yesterday by the decision, of Superior

conveyed through a megaphone when

HASSHAGEN FAMILY
IS HEAVIEST SUFFERER
Alden Anderson, superintendent of
banks, ordered yesterday that a sub
pena be issued for Frank V. Klngton.
legal representative and director of
the Union state and the State sav
ings and commercial bank. Kington.
who was among the trio in active con
trol of the two Institutions, has not
been seen in the city since Saturday,
when the crash came. At his offices It
is said that he Is away on a hunting
trip. Anderson Is desirous of question-
Ing him In regard to certain involved
and doubtful transactions. After
waiting three days for Kington to ap
p#ar, he gave instructions that a sub
pena should be issued forthwith. King- .
ton was formerly In the office of George
D." Collins and escorted the crafty at
torney across the bay In a launch
when Collins fled the state to Canada.
Anderson's efforts to clear up the
tangle, which the two banks presented
brought* -him face to face yesterday
with new and deeper maze of finan
cial chicanery. The minute book, which
W. C^ Hays. ' the ousted cashier, de
clared would elucidate matters. wa3
produced yesterday by that "official,
but it proved a puzzle that baffled the
most accomplished of experts.
Ramifications of Scandal
The ramifications of the scandal ex
tended up the state yesterday, when it
was revealed that business men of
Sacramento and Davis were stock
holders in the wrecked Union state
bank. They have been dissenters from
the policy of the management and. like
the depositors, are unfortunate vic
tims.
Herbert yon Meyerinck. son of Baron
William yon Meyerinck. who took his
life last Friday, visited Anderson yes
terday and expressed the belief that
if his father had been in any way in
volved, it was through the operations
of his associates. Young yon Meyer
inck spurned the protestations of sym
pathy offered by Hays, refusing to
enter Into discussion of the bank's af
fairs with any of its officials.
Although the investigation has not
positively disclosed who will suffer the
heaviest losses, if is stated that the
Hasshagen family, with an Investment
of -125,000, is the most deeply inter
ested.
Inexplicable Muddle
It is believed that the inability -to
get closer to "the real workings of th«
two associated banks is due not to any
lack of endeavor on the part of the
bank examiners, but solely to the inex
plicable muddle in which the institu
tions are found. In , fact, it is yet im
possible for the superintendent to dis
cover .which bank is which, aa the
bankers-7-W. C. Hays, T. A. Bechtel and
C. T. "Hasshagen — seemed indifferent to
the rigid rules of book keeping usually
required of a bank and conducted their
business, figuratively, with the tndis
crimination of a scoop shovel, drawing
funds on the account of one bank and
shoving them carelessly into the other.
Herbert yon. Meyerinck, after a long
conference with ; Anderson, declared
that Anderson had exonerated his fath
er's name from any suspicion of guilt
in connection with the $500 discrepancy
found on the books of the bank. That
Item,' the young man said, was fully ex
plained "by a note for $500 found yester
day'in the bank. • The note was given
by *Yon' Meyerinck. but interest for sev
eral months had not been paid.
"That there has been crooked work in
the^.lrnlitutlbn the lad stated he had
i been told. He repeated a prediction
made that some one would be In the
penitentiary before the liquidation pro
ceedings vwere over.
Working on the Books
- Anderson would not go so far as that
in discussing the case yesterday.
"There Is. nothing to be said at this
stage 'of the investigation," he stated.
"We are working on the books. They
areaerribly muddled. I have called la
A. Wenzelbefxer to aid in the exam*
{nation.** -
