7 THE SUN, BALTIMORE, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 24, 1910. ITALIAN MURDER MYSTERY CLEARED UP AT LAST 101 ASSIGNED TO SHiy FOREST BILL HELD DP Burton And Newlands Start A Filibuster Against It. i fas SL MM. 1:1 while with the other hand he wrung that of the young man. For a minute both were speechless.

Then the father exclaimed "We'll protect you." The dejected appearance of the prisoner did not change as he replied "That IS of no Importance; nothing makes any difference now." The young man then denied to his father that he had been drinking on the night of the tragedy. Mr. Clark announced that they would fight extradition and that insanity would be the defence. An adjournment will be asked when the prisoner-is arraigned tomorrow and alienists will be called upon to make an examination of his mental condition. In support of his contention that his son is insane.

Judge Charlton announced through, Mr. Clark that shortly before the killing of Mrs. Charlion be had from bis son two letters. which were so Incoherent that he was forced to believe the young man's mind had become unbalanced. As soon as Gustave di Rosa, the Italian Consul at New York, learned of Charlton's arrest he cabled his Government for instructions.

He believes tonight that he will be ordered to make application tomorrow for extradition for trial in Italy. ITALIAN POLICE DULL. One of the most remarkable things about the whole affair is that Charlton was not arrested before he left Italy. According to one of the officials of the Prinzess Irene, the boat made three or four stops before she started on the final lap of her run to this country. While all Italy and a large part of the world was ringing with the news of the tragedy he went ashore at every port and enjoyed himself.

The officers of the steamship never suspected his identity. Out of 139 passen 6econd cabin passenger. He denied Ms identity and insisted that, he was "Col-man" and not Charlton. Captain Scotl was certain "Colman" was the man they were looking for, albeit he had never seen Charlton. He fitted descriptions save that a shock of curly hair was missing.

He had no cards, watch or ring, and this convinced Captain Scott that the man's luggage should be examined. He requested that Charlton be arrested and Charlton was removed to police headquarters in a "patrol wagon. Two well-filled suitcases were all the baggage he carried. Both were labeled SAID POLICE WERE MISTAKEN. Prior to entering the wagon Charlton had a severe attack of nausea, but when he recovered he insisted that the police had made a 'mistake.

He was taken to the office of Chief Hayes and in tte presence of Captain Scott and Detectives Gar-rick, Weinthall and Fallon closely, questioned concerning his Identity. He maintained that he was Colmaa and not Charlton. your name on this sheet of paper," ordered the Chief. ,2 Carlton took up the pen and, evidently canght off his guard, wrote "Porter Carlton," leaving the out of his name. Chief HayeB said he acted as if he thought of himself when he reached his last name and purposely misspelled it.

"That isn't my own he said, with a weak attempt at a smile. "My name is John Col man and I'm from Omaha, all right" He was questioned at great length as to how he came to write the name Carlton and managed to wiggle out of any damaging admissions, but when Chief Hayes opened one of the suitcases and dragged out a cheap gingham laundry bag labeled Charlton" and shoved it under his eyes, Charlton began to waver. A few Beconds later Chief -Hayes produced a piece of poetry bearing the prisoner's name. PIECE OK POETRY SETTLED IT. "Do you still deny that you are Porter Charlton?" asked the Chief.

"You've got me, all right," said Charlton in a hoarse whisper. He began trembling violently from head to foot and was again attacked with nausea. "I'm Porter Charlton," he said slowly. I killed my wife and you've got me. The poem, which was dated Washington, November 21, 1908, 6igned "John Rodney" (Porter Charlton), read as follows I struck with idle hands the strings upon the harp of life; Twilight shadows fell across the uplands from the sty.

4 rough weather. One midshipman on tha flagship Iowa suffered from enteric fever. and though practically convalescent upon his arrival here, was removed to the naval hospital at Stonehouse to recuperate. The local authorities are planning a round of entertainments for the visitors. The Lord Mayor of London will give a dinner.

Captain Clark paid an official visit to Admiral Cross, superintendent of the Dev onport dockyards, who invited the squad ron to enter the inner harbor. Admiral Cross returned the visit. Other officers of the squadron came ashore during the day, but none of the i midshipmen. The national mourning precludes official celebrations in honor of the squadron, and, owing to the preoccupation of the naval and dockyard authorities in connection with the mobilization of maneu-vres, the semi-official entertainment will be on rather a small scale.

Contest Over Appalachian Bill. Washington, June 23. With the thermometer standing at nearly 80.

the Senate spent the greater part of an unusually long session today In considering the bill looking to the creation of forest reserves in the White Mountains and the Southern Appalachians. After Senator Brandegee concluded a speech for i it, Senator New-lands took the floor In opposition, 'and It soon became evident that a filibuster for the defeat of the bill was in progress. Senator Burton was especially antagonistic. When Mr. Newlands suspended, Senator Burton, of Ohio, asked that the bill be laid aside for the day.

There was immediate objection In chorus from its friends. Mr. Brandegee said in private conversation that he would hold the Senate as late as possible. Mr. Burton responded that he could talk until midnight if unable to obtain an adjournment, and he added that several other Senators desired to be heard.

A slight suggestion of cloture was made during Mr. Newlands speech. The Nevada Senator had" spent much time in presenting his pet scheme for conservation by a system of co-operation and co-ordination, and was proceeding to show how the present Administration, was departing from the Roosevelt policy of conservation, when Mr. Galllnger interrupted. "Is Jefferson's Manual recognized as authority in the Senate asked the New Hampshire Senator.

When the Chair assented, he asked to have the following rule enforced "No one Is to talk Impertinently, beside the question, superfluously or tediously." Mr. Galllnger made the point that Mr. Newlands was not speaking to the question. "He is talking on every subject under Heaven," he declared. Mr.

Newlands insisted, however, that his remarks were pertinent, and Mr. Gal-linger did not press his point. At 6.20 o'clock Mr. Burton moved an adjournment. The motion being lost, he took the floor as if to begin his speech In opposition to the bill.

He complained that the Senate was discourteous In refusing to adjourn and announced that he should expect tie attendance of a quorum while he spoke. Mr. Gore thereupon made the point of no quorum. A roll call revealed the presence of only 40 Senators of the 47 necessary to do business. A motion by Mr.

Brandegee to compel the attendance of absentees failed of its purpose for the time, and at 6.45 o'clock Mr. Shively moved to adjourn, but the motion was lost, 13 to 2G, and the search for a quorum continued. A quarter of an hour later Mr. Stone sought to have the call for a quorum vacated, but Mr. Brandegee objected, and unanimous consent being necessary, the objection had the effect of negativing the request.

Mr. Purcell then moved to adjourn. The motion again was lost. A quorum finally was obtained at 7.03, and on motion of Senator Gallinger the Senate then took a recess until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. In view of the discussion as to the feasibility of draining Maryland swamp lands, the amendment offered today by Senator Sfone to the Appalachian bill is of Interest.

The Stone amendment provides that $150,000 be appropriated for a survey of the swarnp lands in Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana. These States are ready to issue bonds for drainage if the United States will determine the most feasible way of proceeding with the work. Senator Fletcher, of Florida, called attention to the project of his State to drain 3,000,000 acres of swamp lands In the Everglades region, and the Stone amendment was enlarged so as to Include Florida. Senator Overman suggested the inclusion of North Carolina in the proposed survey, and that was done. Senator Stone then changed the amount of the appropriation he is seeking to $200,000.

The Stone amendment has not yet been adopted. DIRECT PRIMARY NO PANACEA Jndgre Grosacnp Discusses The New Civic Spirit. Toledo, Ohio, June 23. Judge Peter Grosscup, of Chicapo, was a speaker at the final rally of the Luther League of Ohio in St. Matthew's English Lutheran Church tonight.

Sfhe subject of his ad dress was "The Young Lutheran as a He spoke, in part, as follows: "Underneath the surface a new spirit of civic responsibility is awakening. To be merely rich no longer allures as it did a few years ago. The best of our young manhood and 'young womanhood want, the inspiration of power well used. "But this new spirit canndt secure its ambition by mere changes in the laws without, nor can it live without constant renewal from within. Direct primaries, to some extent, bring elections closer to the people, but direct primaries, in and of themselves, will not prevent organiza tion by convention to control the primaries themselves.

The commission form of gov ernment in cities may make the capture of city government by those privately in terested more difficult, but the commission form of government, abandoned by public Interest, is itself as easy of capture as the old Cuy Councils. "The new spirit needs a constant renewal from within; a constant calling into action of that thing within us that is not wholly of i this world that sense of per sonal responsibility, both for ourselves and others, that is laid upon us from the upper world. And here it is that in practical affairs the power of religion makes itself MORSE EFFECTS AT AUCTION Everything: In Imprisoned Banker's House For Sale. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.t New York, June 23. A curious crowd gathered in the former home of Charles W.

Morse, in Fifth avenue, below Fifty-seventh street, today at the auction sale of Mr. Morse's effects. Mrs. Morse, dressed in white, sat alone in her room on the third floor, remote from the sound of the bidding on the fifth floor. Not many in the house knew who she was.

The sale had been decided npon as a means of raising money to help Mrs. Morse in her efforts to obtain her husband's release from the Federal prison in Atlanta, where he is serving a 16-year, term for violating the National Bank laws. Everything in the house, with the exception of one or two articles of furniture, was tagged "For sale." The total value was estimated at $300,000. Judging from the prices at which many of the furnishings were Bold the sale will bring far less than the value of the belongings. Wilton carpets in the servants' rooms, that were worth $4 and more a yard, sold for 50 and 75 cents a yard.

There was enough silverware to supply a dozen ordinary families on sale. About $14,000 resulted from the first day's auction sale of the furnishings. The sale today took In the fifth, fourth and half of the third floors, and the value of the articles sold, according to Mr. is about $50,000. The furnishings of the house complete represented an outlay of about $300,000.

"Is there anything of sentimental Interest which you are not going to have sold?" Mrs. Morse was asked. I have but one sentiment now," was her significant reply. THREE KILLED STEALING RIDES Ten Others Injured In Freight Train Wreck-. Wichita, June 23.

Three men, probably five, were killed and 10 were injured today in the wreck of an extra St. Louis and San Francisco freight train east of Haverhill. All the killed and Injured were harvest hands stealing a ride. Thirteen men were riding on top of a carload of bridge timbers just back of a box car. When a broken flange caused a wreck the timber car ran through the box car, dragging the men through a net of splinters.

All Uved in Missouri, lOO Jewelry, Factories Shut Down. Providence, R. June 23. A shutdown, varying from, 5 to 12 days during July and August, was announced today by more than 100 Jewelry factories In this city, Pawtucket, Attleboro and North Attleboro, and ether nearby places. About 10,000 operatives are affectc" signs of strife, Twiit day and night; and at my 'touch unrolled before the eye The scroll that each man slowly learns to read.

Who soars above the common things and will the heights attain. Whose heart from earthly lust, from selfishness and pride is free. And in it reads these words: "Who seeks for peace mu3t pass through pain." He walked up and down the room as he talked and looked as though he would have leaped from the windows If' he had a chance, but two detectives were right at his heels at every move he made. Charlton practically dictated his confession, while Chief Hayes- wrote It on the typewriter. He required no urging and had been informed of his rights in the matter before he was permitted to talk.

THE COXFESSIOX. He insisted on telling the story, which follows "My wife and I lived happily together. She was the best woman in the world to me, but she had an ungovernable temper. So bad I. We frequently quarreled over the most trivial matters and her language to ne was frequently so fonl that I know sh id not know the meaning of it.

"'The night I struck her she had been quarreling with me. She was In the worst temper I had ever seen her in. I told her If she did not cease I would leave her and put a stop to it. She stopped for a little while and started again. "I took a mallet which I had used to do some household repairs and struck her three times.

,1 thought she was dead. I put the body in a trunk, In which I also threw the mallet. "About 12 that night I moved the trunk from the house, dragged it to a small pier near the house and threw It overboard. I remained at Malpraiso the next day and following night and went to Como, and from there to Genoa, where I took the steamer Irene three days later. "The room where I killed hen was an outdoor sleeping apartment.

"PobtebCharltos." At the suggestion of an attorney, whose services he secured shortly after his arrival at the police station, Charlton added this postscript to his statement "I have been Informed that C. K. Ispola-toff has been implicated, and I wish to state that this gentleman is absolutely guiltless. I have no defense to make and don't wish tO. PORTER CHAELTON POSTSCRIPT WRITTEX.

The last paragraph, exonerating Ispola-' toff, the Russian, who was arrested as a suspect by the Italian police, was written in a firm hand by Charlton after Chief Hayes had asked part Ispolatoff bad played in the tragedy. He insisted that Ispolatoff was about the only one whom he and his wife associated while living in the villa at Moltrasio. He said Ispolatoff was a gentleman and that the other residents of the village were not worth mixing with. Charlton seemed to be calmer after he had unburdened his mind of the horrible story, and when arraigned before Recorder MeGovern a few minutes later he was absolutely the most unconcerned person in the small courtroom. It was hard to believe that he had been guilty of the weakness attributed to him by the police while he was making his confession.

He made his way through a lane of curious eyes and glanced to the right and left after the manner of a man who might be looking for tjie number on a house. Even theytwoscore cameras aimed in his direction did not disconcert him. When he was halted before the rail he actually leaned against it in a carefree attitude. What the spectators saw was not a consumptive, as they had been led to expect by his published pictures, but a smartly built, undersized youth, with clean-cut features and fairly broad shoulders. His chin is well set, while his nose is a trifle long and inclined to hook.

His "ablue eyes are small, but very bright. His "nuth is the weakest part of his facial mase-up, seeming to have no definite terminals. His whole attitude Is of the alert young college man, the type so frequently mot In the financial district. His occupation describes him perfectly. One would almost guess he was a bank clerk at the first glance- -XOT A SIGX OF EMOTION.

Chief Hayes began to read tne confes- eion. Charlton never moved a muscle when Chief Hayes reached the point In which Charlton told of hitting his wife repeatedly with a mallet. A shiver passed over those in the room as the document told how Charlton, in the dead of night, had packed his wife's body In a trunk and after dragging it to the wharf had dropped it into the silent waters of Lake Como, but the prisoner looked at the celling and proceeded to study the architecture of the place. Not a sign of emotion did he display during the reading of the dreadful document. He was led back to his cell, a veritable -cage, about 4 by 6, and barred on all sides.

LAKE COMO BILLS BLOCK THE WAY Leaders Using Every Effort To Adjourn Congress Saturday. TWO FILIBUSTERS STARTED Democrats Refuse To Allow House To Pass Taft's Land Appeals Bill, -Unless Be Probes Steel Trust. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Washington, June 23. Republican leaders at the Capitol are dinging to the hope some call It a delusion that Congress will be able to conclude Its work Saturday.

But no one is willing to predict that the end will come beforeBaturday evening at a session which may run far into the night. Between dead locks and filibusters, the situation Is uncertain. President Taft can, by Insisting upon certain legislation, pre long the session into next week. In that event the session might continue a fortnight. Despite the uncertainty that exists tonight, the belief is strong that the session can be chopped off before Sunday.

The chief obstacle Is the White Mountain and Appalachian Forest Reserve bill, wnich New England Senators and some Southern men are anxious to shove through before adjournment. Senator Burton is conducting a healthy filibuster against It in the Senate. Senator Brandegee, of Connecticut, has charge of the bill and commands enough votes to pass It if he can bring It to a vote but, with Senators Burton, Newlands, Paynter and several others bitterly opposed to the legislation, and ready to talk it to death, it is difficult to foresee how friends of the measure will be able to get a vote before adjourning Saturday. The action of the House today in receding from the amendment to the Sundry Civil bill prohibiting the use of the Anti-Trust Appropriation in enforcing the Sherman law against labor unions has removed one big obstacle to adjournment. If the House had Insisted upon this section it would have been Impossible to wind up the session with the week.

Another matter which contains enough dynamite to wreck any plan for adjournment is the Taft-Batlinger bill to increase the engineer corps of the army so that some of them may be detaired in charge of reclamation projects. Senator Bailey, of Texas, is ready to take the floor for a single-handed filibuster to defeat it. It is iiTiiiprsfnod tonisht that the leaders will not press" the passage of the bill this session. The Public Buildings Appropriation bill was finally agreed upon in conference this afternoon. The Senate adopted the report.

The House is expected to adopt it tomorrow. This leaves only the Sundry Civil, General Deficiency and Pension Appropriation bills in conference, with matters In 'dispute in them which cannot delay adjournment. The Campaign Publicity bill, which passed the Senate yesterday with an amendment, has gone to the House, which is expected to accept the action of the Senate. The House tomorrow plans to take, up, inder special rule, the Cotton Option bill and after that the Appalachian bill, which will then be before both branches. Tresldent Taft's request for the passage of the bill, framed by Secretary Ballinger.

seeking to allow appeals from decisions of the Secretary of the Interior to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia and having the effect of making it a special land court in addition to its present jurisdiction, contains elements of serious President Taft is very anxious for the passage of this bill and would like to have the House Regulars force it through under a special rule. Chairman Dalzell, of the Rules Committee, is between two fires in his desire to accommodate the President. If he should call the Rules Committee together Minority Leader Clark would ask that a similar rule be granted to consider the resolution of Mr. Stanley, of Kentucky, for. an investigation of the Steel Trust.

As the Democrats and several Republicans are ready to vote in committee for the Steel Trust resolution, such a rule could be obtained. Confronted by this dilemma, Chairman Dalzell is afraid- to assemble the committee for the rule the President wants. XJrders for such a meeting were given this morning, but after notice came that the moment the committee meets the Stanley resolution will have to be considered, Mr. Dalzell called off his orders.

PUTS BURDEN ON THE FARMER Republicans Send To The Senate Campaign Document For Which They Have Been Investigating-. Washington, June 23. Republicans and Democrats disagree as to the causes for the great increase in the cost of living between 1900 and 1910.

The' majority report of the special Senate committee which has investigated these questions was submitted to the Senate today by Chairman Lodge. Mr. Lodge reports, that the high prices of food products can be traced directly to the farmer. The Republican members of the committee found that of the many causes contributing to the advance in prices, the following were, most marked Increased cost of production of farm products, by reason of higher land values and higher wages. Increased demand for farm products and food.

Shifting of population from food-producing to food consuming occupations and localities. Immigration to food-consuming localities. Reduced fertility of land. Increased banking facilities, which' enable farmers to hold their crops and market them at higher prices. Reduced supply of timber.

Cold-storage plants which prevent extreme fluctuations of prices with the seasons and tending to advance prices. Increased cost of tion. Industrial combination. Organization of producers or of dealers. Advertising.

Increased money supply. Over-capitalization. Higher standard of living. The general. wholesale price level of 257 commodities in the United States has advanced since 1900 14.5 per cent.

farm products, 39.8 food, lumber and building materials, 19.6 miscellaneous commodities, 14.7; cloths and clothing, 12.0 fuel and lighting, 6.9 house furnishing goods, 5.3; metals and implements, 3.6. A decline was shown for drugs and chemicals amounting to 2.9 percent. The advance in the United States has been more rapid than in Great Britain, Germany amd many other European countries. Concerning retail prices, the report shows that'in the United States in, the spring of 1910 they were at the highest point for many years. As compared with the spring of 19()0 prices for bacon were more than 70 per cent, higher, ham "was 33 per cent.

higher flour was about 50 per cent, higher butter about 45 per cent higher sugar about 12 per cent, higher, and eggs 100 per f-ent. higher Furniture was about the same price as in 1900. Earthenware was slightly lower. Shoes and clothing were considerably "Wages have not advanced, as rapidly have prices," says the report, "and practically all labor difficulties which have been the subject of mediation in the United States during the past two or three years have had as their basis the advanced cost of living." The tariff is discussed at great length, and the conclusion was reached the majority of the committee was that it had been "no material factor in causing the advance in prices during the past decade." "The prices of many of the trust-produced commodities have not advanced as rapidly as have other commodities," says the report. Senator Smith, of South Carolina, a Democratic member of the Lodge committees, charged that the cost-of-living report made, today was a "preliminary offering" worse than useless au.d intended wholly for political purposes.

TO DEPORT SWISS BANKER Woman To Be Sent Back With Man Who Claimed As Friend. Washington, June 23. Hans Bauder, of Zurich, Switzerland, banker and capitalist, and Miss Pauline Elizabeth Burgln, his traveling companion, who were detained In New York by the immigration authorities last Saturday when they arrived on the Kalserin Auguste Victoria from Europe, have been ordered deported as undesirable immigrants. The decision was announced today by Commissioner of Immigration Daniel J. Keefe, with the approval of the Secretary of Commerce and Labor.

Bauder, who came over on the same vessel with former President Roosevelt, consider- able attention. He announced to bis fel- low-passengers that Colonel Roosevelt had invited him to visit him at Oyster Bay to discuss European politics. i Particular attention was attracted to Bauder when it was discovered that he was exchanging notes with a young woman in the second cabin, and one night he was observed to approach the rail between the first and second cabins and engage in conversation with Miss Burgin. This led to their detention. At first Bauder declared Miss Burgln was his secretary, but later said she was a friend whose passage he had paid to this country.

MAY NOT EXTRADITE CHARLTON Italy Has Instated On Trying: Criminal Caujrlit There. Washington, June 23. Mrs. Paul Charlton, stepmother of Porter Charlton, came to Washington this afternoon from Baltimore, where she has been visiting her father. Dr.

Wanstall, who has been ill for some time. Joining her husband at their apartment in II street, they left tonight for New York. The Charltons refused to receive anyone except a few personal friends who called with sympathy. Judge Charlton, however, conferred with officials of the State Department at their homes. Chevalier Agnoll, Italian Consul-General at New York, notified the State Department tonight he had mailed formal requisition on behalf of his Government for the return of Porter Charlton to Italy.

Department officials declined to. discuss the case except to say the question of ex-j tradition had not been considered. Friends of the Charltons have already Informally asked the State Department not to recognize the Italian request on the ground that that Government several years ago refused to extradite Italian citizens arrested in Italy on charge of committing crimes in this country and had thereby established a precedent. A hasty study of the precedents in cases where it has been sought to secure the re turn of fugitives from justice not a native of the country seeking his extradition falls to disclose any that justify Charlton's extradition. There are exceptions in the cases of countries like Great Britain and Argentina, where extradition treaties expressly confer the right to return its own subject or citizen.

The Italian Government always undertakes to try under provisions of Italian law any Italian who is a fugitive from justice for crime committed In the United States. It is entirely without the power of the Government of the United States to punish a man for a- crime, no matter how atrocious, committed on foreign soil. A writ of habeas corpus would soon release 6uch a person from arrest. EXPECTED TO ASK EXTRADITION Bat Italian Government Is Still Undecided. Rome, June 21.

Just what action the Italian authorities will take in connection with the arrest of Porter Charlton has not yet been determined. It is believed, however, that Charlton's extradition will be sought. Whatever the Government intends to do must be done within 40 days, for article 2 of the convention of 1884 says that if formal demand for extradition is not made within 40 days from the arrest of the accused, the prisoner may be released.
