CHARLTON
TRIED
2Cew Xork, K- T-, June 24. : the dingy
coartrooa of Hoboken was packed to
suffocation tnis morning by curious
people, court officials and lawyers to
afend the preliminary hearing of Pprter
CharKon. the self confessed murderer
of his wife, whose body was found In a
trunk In Lake Como. Italy.
At the request of one of the attorneys
for Charlton, who has just been brought
Into the case, adjournment was taken
until Teeeday to enable him to famil
jariz himself with the case.
The defence for Chariton will be in
sanlry. Should a requisition be made by the
Italian government, which no doubt will
fc dose, pending its arrival here Chari
ton will be examined for his sanity. It
is though very unlikely that the state
departiaent would grant the requisition

Is unsound.

Declare State Never Had
Better Rating, If People
Will Only Clean Up.
STATE BOARD MAY
CUT DOWN CHARG-HS
Austin, Tex., June 24. Attorney
Thompson, of Dallas, summing up for
the insurance companies, declared that
"outside of El Paso and Orange, there
is nothing in this contest, nothing that
should command the attention of this
board for 20 minutes.
"These are the only cities that even
seem superficially to have any grounds
for complaint. Orange has always
been rated too low, for it is a town
full of special hazards entitled to a
high rate and the El Paso rates were
also abnormally low."
'Thompson presented figures to show
that last year's loss ratio in Texas was
78 percent on $1, 13 cents for each dol
lar received In premiums.
He said the companies had received
under the partial application of the
new rates a million dollars less in
premiums In five months this year than
In the corresponding period last year,
notwithstanding a nine million dollar
increase in insurance outstanding.
I Rates To Be Lower.
The companies' representatives insist
that the average rates over the state
will be lower than last year but the
companies would expect to suffer less
fire loss owing to the improved condi
tions. In presenting the data of averages,
Thompson qquoted from insurance
trade journals and commissioner Hawk
ins remarked that he hadnoticed many
Thompson quoted from insurance
journals, purporting to be based on
records In his office.
Hawkins urges a full presentation of
the case of the protestants from every
standpoint and Invites the inspection of
records and statements filed by the
j companies with the new law.
The- Law's Responsibility.
The insurance companies refuse to
take any responsibility for 'the new law.
Their representatives say the companies
have been trying In good faith to meet
the requirements of the law. of which
the companies disapprove.
All they want, say some of the most
prominent insurance men, is to retain the
right to frame and maintain a system
of analytic ratings. They say an insur
ance trust or binding agreement is ab
solutely 'imposslble-because, the busi
ness Is highly competitive. They say
rates are lower in states without re
strictive laws than in states where
antf-compact laws are severe.
The companies on Friday presented
much testimony and figures to estab
lish their case and to show that the re
sults of the new system are not dis
approved by the state at large
Radical Action Expected.
The chances are believed by Hudspeth
and Sweeney to be strong for radical
action by Wright and Hamby. of the
board over the commissioner's "head and
it Is rumored that the legislature will
not only repeal the law butvwill go fur
ther and enact a stringent anti-trust or
anti-compact law applying to fire in
surance companies. (
So far as El Paso is concerned, the
companies are inclined to censure the
city for not taking the necessary steps
to reduce the key rate and reduce in
dividual risks by making the changes
suggested. They say El Paso got what
It deserved, but that it can obtain a
much better rate, even less than old
rate. If property owners spend money
and work to reduce the fire hazards and
increase the protection.
The EI Paso Loss.
Xinetj'-seven companies report the
loss ratio In El Paso of 6b percent. It
Is claimed that by spending a large
sum for improvements the key rate can
be lowered to 8 cents. The companies
are marshaling a mass of statistics and
making a strong case, offering to pro
duce their books if necessary.
BOSTOX TO GAIVESTOX

Boston, Ztfass., June 24. Announce
ment was made by the local chamber
of commerce this morning that the or
ganization favors the plans proposed
for Inaugurating a new steamship line
to ply bet-ween Boston and Galveston,
Tex. The Intention is to purchase boats
to be placed In commission early this
fall. Later larger steamers may be
built. The chamber of commerce has
taken steps looking to cooperation with
Texas interest, and is now in communi

WILL BE
FOR SANITYl
yesterday Charlton had signed the fol
lowing statement:
"My wife and I lived happily togeth
er. She was the best "woman in, the
world to me, but she had an ungovern
able temper. So had L "We frequent

so foul that I knew she did not know
the meaning of it-
"The night I struck her she had been
quarreling with me. She was in the

leave her and put a stop to it. She

JOHNSON WILL WIN
San Antonio, Texas, June 24. "Stay
out of the primaries,' Is the slogan in
Bexar countv and all over southwest
Texas and it is giving 'considerable
worry to Colquit leaders, as it prom
ises to very materially re.duce hitf ma
jority in the section of the srate where
it Is conceded that he is-the strongest.
The argument being'used is that sub
mission Is sure to carry and "that the
special session of the legislature will
make it obligatory for the candidate to
pledge support to he platform in, order
to be eligible to accept the nomination.
I Such a result would mean that those
entering the primary would be pledged
to support a candidate who favored sub
mission, which is opposed by a majority
of the citizens of this section. Another
argument being used with effect is that
there is every chance of Cone Johnson
being nominated and that those going
into the primaries will as a result have
to support a prohibitionist for gover
nor. Another factor which is also keeping
out a good many is the fact that south
west Texas Is really Republican. The
state executive committee has said very
positivelj' that these Repupblicans wcrb
not wanted and many who have usually
affiliated with the Democrats in state
and county elections bukwho votd the
Republican national ticket will not go
In and even take the pledge "I am a
Democrat."

and the Citizens' League are urging

It now looks as if the combined in
fluences to keep citizens out of the pri
maries would cut Colquitt's vote from
5000 to 7000 in southwest Texas, enough
under ordinary circumstances to insure
his nomination, especially in a race
which promises to be as closely con
tested as the present one.
OGDEX 31 AY BE XA3IED
TO SUCCEED JUDGE DIcCORMICK
San Antonio, Texas, June 24. Judge
Charles TV- Ogdjenllrici, discjusg the
report that Ve "is "being "urged for ap
pointment - as United States circuit
judge. His friends here, however, say
that action has been taken lboklng to
that end and ,he may be named.
Judge Ogden was offered the federal
judgeship of the eastern district, now
occupied by Gordon Russell, but refused
it, not desiring to leave this district
He has generally been considered as
the most probable successor to judge
A. P. McCormick of Dallas when that
judge resigns.
During president Taffs visit here
judge Ogden made a great impression
on the president and since that time
they have been the vers best of friends.
TEXAS REPUBLICAXS WIIL
RETURX TO ROOSEVELT
San Antonio, Texas, June 24. Therb
Is every reason to believe that the Re
publicans at the state convention in
August will start a boom for Theodore
Roosevelt for president to succeed Taft.
There is no question but what tthere
is widespread dissatisfaction among the
ranks of the Republicans in this state
over many of Taft's acts and the plan
is to replace him with Roosevelt. "While
there are but few Republican votes in
Texas, yet the vote cast by the state in
the national convention is large.
The Gordon Russell appointment to
the district judgeship of the eastern
district proved a sore disappointment
to the Republican lawyers over the
state and a sad blow to the leaders.
It is now practically certain that a
resolution will be introduced An the
state convention providing for the en
dorsement of Roosevelt and it will be
practically Impossible for the leaders to
prevent favorable action by the conven
tion, even if they desired to prevent It.
The only reason why such a reso
lution will not pas -jwill be because
Roosevelt will have made it very plain I
that he will under no circumstances Us
I ten to such a call.

House and Senate Also Tied
Up Over Pension Bill.
Taft and Unions.
Washington, D. C, June 24". In an
effort to adjust the differences between
the Republican conferees of the house
and senate on the bill appropriating
?20,000,000 for reclamation work in the
west, president Taft invited all of them
to luncheon today. The differences
are to the extent to which the recom
mendations of army engineers shall
govern the decision to carry on various
projects undertaken or projected. Lodge
reported to the senate today that the
conferees are still in disagreement on
this point and a further conference was
ordered.
The president is said to favor, the
senate provision, which is not quite so
binding as the house clause and leaves
a little more latitude to the executive.
Another measure, still in dispute is
the pension appropriation bill, the con
troversy being over a proposition of
the house to abolish IS pension agencies
throughout the country and establish
one agency In Washington. The senate
conferees expect the house to yield and
leave the laws as they now exist.
The conferees on the general defi
ciency bill agreed today and it is ex
pected that the sundry civil bill will be
completed in conference before night.
The conference report on the public
buildings bill was adopted this morn
ing and the bill now goes to president
Taft. The Texas items with Increases
adopted after being urged by senator
Bailey, remain in the measure, includ
ing El Paso's appropriation for a fed
eral building site.
To Benefit Confederates.
A joint resolution adopted by the
senate today extends for two years the
time during which exConfederates may
file claims for losses of personal
property after surrendering. The reso
lution was introduced by senator Brad
ley, and covers the same ground as the
amendment to the general deficiency
bill, which was struck out a few days
since on motion of senator Brlatow.
Campaign Publicity.
The house conferees today receded
from their disagreement to the senate
amendment to the campaign publicity
till and the act will provide for the
publication of contributions after elec-
tions. Senator Burrows made the re
port to the senate today and it was
adopted.
Burleson's Cotton Futures Bill.
Representative Albert S. Burleson, of
the 10th Texas district, this morning
said he felt certain t"hat the measure
known as The anti-cotton futures gam
bling bill will pass the house today.
The house began considering the meas
ure again this morning and the debate
was in progress at 10 oclock. Under the
rule the vote on the passage of the bill
was takenthls afternoon.
Representative Burleson and repre
sentative Jack Beall, from the fifth
Texas district, both spoke favoring the
passage of the anti-cotton futures gamV
bling bill. They denounced the prac
tces, .of cotton exchanges which permit
the use- of markets by gamblers to rob
planters. The measure, they declared,
would not Interfere with legitimate con
tracts but would 'stop gambling.
The anti-option bill passed the house
today, 160 to 41. The bill Is not ex
pected to pass the senate.
To Parole Prisoners.
The house this morning adopted the
conference report on the bill to parole
federal prisoners - who obey

prove such class legislation. The labor

no more.
Colorado River Breaks.
A. joint resolution placing $2,000,000
at the disposal of president Tafi to
check the ravages of the Colorado river
in the Imperial valley In southern Cali
fornia, was prepared last night by sen
ator Flint and representative Smith, of
California, and will be presented to the
senate and house committees today.
Telegrams from Yuma to both senator
Flint and congressman Smith conveyed
the Information that the river had
broken out of its, banks in Mexico,
across the line, and that unless checked
great damage would result. The tele
grams asked that congress take imme
diate action to save the section.
The river Is said to be cutting a new
channel through miles of country and
endangering not only Irrigation sys
tems of the Imperial valley and the
farming Investments there, but also the f
government irrigation projects at La- j
guna dam.
The $2,000,000 appropriation was sug
gested bj- director Nowell. of the re-
clamation service. Isegotiations may be
undertaken -with the government of
Mexico looking toward a joint interna
tional control of the lower waters of
the Colorado river.
