Missing Husband of Dead

SUSPECT JOLLIES
WITH THE POLICE
Como, Italy, June 15'. "While every
day turns up some new feature adding
interest to the Lake Como mystery, it
is evident that the police are still In
doubt as to the identity of the person
or persons -who, after beating- Mrs. Scott i
Castle Charlton into Insensibility, crowd- !
ed her into a trunk there to die of suf
focation. They are still making every effort to
locate Charlton and today received word
from Lucerne that a young man be
lieved to be the husband, was seen
there Saturday, the day after the trunk
containing- Mrs. Charlton's body was
fished out of the lake.
At the same time, following- the theory
that both Charlton and his wife were
murdered and thrown into Lake Como,
it Is again being dragged today for the
body of the husband.
Constantine Ispolatoff, a chance ac
quaintance of Charlton's who has been
in custody since Friday, was again in
terrogated today, this time by the ex
amining judge. In his replies the Rus
sian was disposed to poke fun at the
authorities.
REPUBLICANS ARE
RAPPED BY DEMS
Democrats of Pennsylvania
Unable as Yet to Nom
inate Governor.
AHentown, Pa., July 5. The mid
night withdrawal of C- Larue Munson,
?f WJHfamport, after he practically had
the gubernatorial nomination in his
grasp somewhat disarranged the plans i
of tne (leaders of today's Democratic
convention. Two men are still in the
field William H. Berry, of Chester, for
mer state treasurer, who first made
public, the alleged frauds dn furnishing
the state capitol, and state senator
Webster Grim, of Doyleston, frequently
a candidate for state offices.
Munson refused to explain his with
drawal. Raps the Republicans.
Permanent chairman Harman, on
taking the chair said:
"The hour for action has arrived
such an hour and such a condition as
seldom presents itself to a minority
party In Pennsylvania, and yet such a
condition as this is the logical result
of Republican misrule. From Pittsburg,
where seemingly only a 'stone can say
bj- way of afterthought, 'I was not
bribed,' to Philadelphia, corrupt, con
tented; from Harrlsburg, so lately the
scene of shameless raid, with two poor
souls in jail to Washington, where in
creased travel money and a white
house on wheels seems Inevitable
where the Republican party needs Dem-
ocratic support, we have seen this rot-
ten system in full flower.
"What the state wants is not a
mourning bench for criminal office
holders. What we need, and what we
demand, is honest men in public -office,
not rogues, we have to put in jail."

State Insurance Commis
sioner Berates the Gover
nor for His Interference.
GOVERNOR MAKES
A SHORT REPLY
Austin, Tex., June 15. El Paso has
created a lovely little stir at Austin.
Governor Campbell is trying to get
his insurance commissioner to nslgn
and the insurance commissioner is posi
tive that he is not going u resign and
both are positive that he can't be re
moved. The governor admits that he cannot
remove Mr. Hawkins nor can he dis
turb him in any way, but does say that
he Is under the impression that the
term of the commissioner expires on
August 21 of this year, which is a sur
prise as it was thought that the com
missioner held under his present ten
ure to the end of the administration.
The governor's impression is based on
the fact that the act creating the office
of commissioner of agriculture, insur
ance, statistics and history became et-
fectlve on August 21, 1S76, and there
fore the terms were for two years com
mencing on that date. This may bring
some interesting developments on that
score.
The original act of- 1S7C has been
changed several times since then, the
department of agriculture now being
separate, as are the historical and li
brary branches. The banking act is
administered from the insurance office,
which is a recent law. Whether or not
these changes have any cffet on the
beginning and termination of a term
of commissioner is a matter for law
yers to pass upon.
Governor Letter.
The letter of the governor calling
for the resignation read as follows:
"Your resignation as commissioner
of Insurance and banking, to take ef
fect Immediately, is respectfully re
quested." The letter was written after the gov
ernor had urged that Mr. Hawkins
should resign voluntarily. Mr. Hawkins
declined to do th's and then the for
mal letter asking for the resignation
was Issued.
Mr. Hawkins in his answer declares
that both the governor and attorney
general Lightfoot are wrong in their
legal conception of the fire rating
board law Many lawyers here are
agreeing that commissioner Hawkins is
legally correct in hi position, In fact,
very few are heard to express any oth
er opinion.
Hawkins Explains Poiition.
Mr. Hawkins letter follows:
"Your demand for my resignation
grows out of my refusal, as commission
er, to be bound by the terms of a reso
lution which was adopted by the state
fire rating board on June 10 pursuant
to the advice of the attornev general
nnrt undpr tli rlfrAotlmi of thr rnv-
- .
' omnr T -frtJli- VkxHat-o IJint c?Srt nptinn
by the governor, the attorney general
and the state fire rating board, re
spectively, to"! based upon a misunder
standing bv the governor and by the
attorney general of the scope and effect
of the state fire rating board law which
was passed by the 31st leorlslature.
"I hate not questioned the motive j
j of any of said officers, but freely con
j cede that thev are all trying to protect
the public asainst what they consider
exorbitant insurance rates a very
worfhy purpose: but I contend that
they a'-'uo-sv all acting un'ler a mis
conception of the law and of the pow
ers and authority of the governor, and
that the manner of procedure to attain
the end in view should be precribpd
bj said statute, and In line with the
judgment and operation of the beard
down to the time of the adoption of said
resolution.
"I contend that the procedure out
lined in said Resolution is foreign to
the purpose of the legislature, and vio
lative of "the tfntute. and In utter de
fiance of section 2S of the hill of
rights embodied In the Constitution of
Texas, which declares: 'No power of
suspending laws in this state hall be
exerc'serl except by the legislature.'
"Heretofore in various states, public
officials have been forced out of of
fice for neglect of dutj for disregard
of law and for defiance of the consti
tution, hut so far as I am informed this
is the first instance In American his
tory in -which the resignation of the
head of a department of a state gov-
ernjnent has been demanded solely and
! admittedly because of his alleged too lib
eral adherence to the letter of the
statute and of the constitution.
Raps the Governor.
"In my sober judgment the action of
the governor throughout this whole
Timtfoi- Vino 1-pati and 5c mi linirnrrnnt-
ed assumption of authority and an In
excusable ana aangorous encroaenment
bv the chief executive upon the pow
ers conferred by law upon another
official.
"I feel that I would not be true to
myself nor to rav oath of office nor t6
the people of this state were I to quiet
ly obey the dictation of the governor
In this matter.
MThe rights, powers and uties of ;
the commissioner are fixed by law and ,
are not derived from nor subservient to
the will of th jrovernor, and this Is
true of all public officials, even though
they be appointees of the governor.
'The scopo and purpose of said reso
lution Is broader than seems to be gen
erally believed. In various quarters it
has been understood as requesting the
companies to only defer until after June
21 the collection of the difference be
tween the old rates and the new rates
on all policies -which have been here

WHERE IS CAPITAL
OF OKLAHOMA STATE?
Haskell Transacting Busi
ness in Oklahoma City;
May Use Militia. "
Oklahoma City, Okla., June 15. It
may be necessary to use militia to move
the state capital to this city. Just where
the capital is now, is a puzzle. Some
state offices are here and some are In
Guthrie.
Governor Haskell and secretary of
state Cross are transacting official busi
ness under the .original state seal at
Oklahoma City, while assistant secre
tary of state Meyer has a duplicate seal
and is transacting official business in
Guthrie. The supreme court and other
departments of state are proceeding
with their various duties as If a capitol
removal election had not been held. The
Republican state committee recognized
the two capitols by filing referendum
petitions at both Guthrie and Oklahoma
City.
Deputy United States marshall Chris
Madsen, of Guthrie, has served a cita
tion on governor Haskell summoning
him to appear in the federal court Fri
day to show cause why he should at-
tempt to remove tne state capitol to
Oklahoma City.
Quarters for all state officers and
boards have been secured in Oklahoma
City and they will be occupied as soon
as the records, books and fixtures of
the offices in Guthrie can be moved
here. Gqvernor Haskell and his attor
neys are confident that neither the state
