BLACK WiLL RUN, ANYWAY
'Anything to Defeat Dalzell." a
Pittsburg Battle Cry.
IBy T>i<-£ra;>h to The Tribune.]
Pittsburg, June 12. — Dr. Robert J.
Black, who is contesting the primary
lection of Congressman John Dalzell,
announced to-day that if the recount
shows Dalzell was the choice in the pri
maries he will run independently at the
November election. He declares he will
•lefeat Dalzell by at least eight thousand
votes.
It will not be necessary for Black to j
circulate a petition to have his name ;
I i-3ac**d on the official ballot, as he won j
ihe Prohibition nomination, getting nine- j
IMB votes, to thirteen cast for Dalzell.
Another I<-Rture of the contest is the
* nnouncejnent that James A. Wakefield, I
the Democratic nominee for Congress ,
iv the Dalzell-Black district, will with- ;
cirsw from the race and endeavor to
throw the Democratic vote to Black. It j
i* believed AVakefield has been persuad- i
•<1 to d<> this by ex-Senator "William j

thin? to defeat Dalzell."

NO TRACE OF CHARLTON
Italian Police Without News of
Murdered Woman's Husband.
FEAR A DOUBLE MURDE
Persons Who Say They Saw
Charlton After Bod;- Was
Found Uncertain on Dates.
Coreo, Italy, Junf 12.— The police to
day peem/ no nearer a solution of the
mystery of the murder of Mrs. Porter
Charlton; of New York, than they were
on the day the body v.-as. found huddled
up in a trunk at th« bottom of Lake
Como.
Searching parties have assiduously
dragged the lake, in the expectation that
perhaps the body of the woman's hus
band might be recovered, or at least
something having connection -with the
crime, but so far the searchers have
labored in vain. The authorities, so far
as they have disclosed, have no informa
tion about the missing Charlton, and
whether he Is dead or alive is only a
matter of conjecture.
The opinion is gathering strength that
a double murder has been committed, j
This Is the view held by the American
Consul at Milan. Charles M. Caughy, ;
who is Investigating the case. It is
pointed out that the amount of blood on
the mattress, sheets and curtains of the ;
bedroom In the villa which was occu- !
pied by Mr. and Mrs. Charlton could
not possibly come from the wounds of
the woman, which were in the nature of
severe bruises on the head.
Several persons, however, say that
they saw Charlton after the date of the
crime at Moltrasio, and later at Como.
These statements are controverted by I
the investigations of the police, who have
found that the alleged witnesses have
been unable to fix dates definitely.
'The police have in their possession a
letter written by Mrs. Charlton to her
former husband, Neville Castle, which
had not been mailed, asking him to re- J
turn her letters and photographs, as she
wished to show them to Charlton in or
der to relieve his mind concerning that
distant love episode. - They have con
strued this letter as an evidence that
Charlton was jealous, and. indeed, there
are not wanting those who say that he
had on various occasions shown great
jealousy of his wife.

Sad Plight of Police Lieutenant
Stevenson Puzzles Plrvsicians.

hundred census enumerators in Louis
ville and Jefferson County have formed

of their duties. The extra work ".as
that of distributing special schedules in
addition to their own official schedules.

haid Governor N. M. Hay, who is visiting
St. Paul, to-day. "Ballinger is a good

Pope's Representative at Madrid
Objects to Religious Reforms.

Papal Xuneio, has formally protested
against the royar decree issued yesterday
authorizing edifices of non-Catholic relig
ious societies to display the insignia for
public worship and other ceremonies, oa the
ground that the government should main
tain the status quo, pending the result of
the negotiations which are boing conducted
with the Vatican.
Premier Caaulejas in reply says that the
decree does not touch matters covered by
the negotiations. It Is understood that the
answer which the Vatican has made rela

reduction of the public worship budget is
not satisfactory, and the Premier haa noti
fied the Vatican that unless it changes its
attitude the government will bo reluctantly
compelled to break off the negotiations.

SOMEWHERE SUN SHONE
But It Entirely Overlooked This
City and Coney Island.
ZOO BEARS SOLVED PROBLEM
What the Wild Waves ; and the
! Seashore Merchants Said Was
Not Pit for Publication. ..
It must be that the earth is not in
tune, for heaven has been alternately
weeping and spitting: upon her since
Thursday night, taking the ■ mean re
; venge, of . a highly emotional nature.
; What are the wild waves whispering?
1 Wi lf there, be a sufficient lack of discord
to-day for. heaven to lay its warm ear:
softly over earth's bosom>- or is It really
true that thftre is nothing so rare as a
day in June— that is, a real day, not a
Turkish bath? The "fans" want to know; i
so does the permanent population of
Coney Island, not to mention the pur
veyors of straw hats and outing flannels,
and last, but not least, the plodding:
cave-dwellers of Manhattan. . * ."-:■ \
An example of how to make the best j
of the conditions, of how to administer ,
an exquisite rebuke to the weather gods i
without getting peevish, has been set !
the city's entire population by two black J
bears in the zoological gardens at
Bronx Park. Originally from Pennsyl
vania and West Virginia, they have
chosen to accept the continual downpour
for the rainy season ushering in their
period, of hibernation, and have been
asleep for three days.
Not even their rations have tempted
them into full consciousness. They have
poked their noses out of their caves to
tak«j a squint at the sky two or three
times since Thursday and then dozed off
again with little grunts which the. nat
ure fakers in the Park Department have
interpreted to mean:
"We don't care whether Hamilton
flic? or not. So, there!''
Tears Add to Coney's Dampness.
All Coney Island went to bed Satur
day night hopeful of the morrow, and
awoke with execrations. The whole day
was like a nightmare to the inhabitants
of Dreamland. The umbrella pedlers
again had a field day, and the diving
Venuses wore raincoats both inside and
outside the tank. In Luna Park, named
after the moon, it seemed as if that
luminary had drawn the tides right up
over the island, which was considered
pretty poor etiquette after such a com
pliment. The proporietors were wishing
they had named the place after the sun,
but then they reflected that in that case
it might have been a solar plexus blow,
whatever that mean 3 in the language of
weather.
The Dreamland Band, being under
cover (that is, from the rain), gave con
tinuous concerts. Among the selections
played were '"Put on Ydur Old Gray
Ralncot," "Little Drops of Water," "The
Sun Shines Bright in Dixie." "Wait Till
the Sun Shines, Nellie" (by request).
"Wait Till the Clouds Roll By" (by de
mand), "Take Your Girl to Coney on i j
Sunday Afternoon" and the "Dead
March" from "Saul.'
Among the notable visitors of the day
were two newspaper men of Rome,
X. V.. who came down on excursion
tickets.
The captains of the steamboats re
ported that it was raining in New York.
Big Cave-in at Bellevue.
They had a cave-in up near Bellevue.
Two brick retaining walls that had been
erected to prevent a collapse of the
earth surrounding the excavation under
the new hospital laundry building in
20th street, east of First avenue, col
lapsed suddenly, themselves having been
undermined, by the rain. Several girders
and strips of planking that had bridged
them fell into the debris at the bottom.
In the street in front of the building
a long, deep fissure suddenly appeared
and the police and watchmen opined that
if the rain didn't take a day off soon the
stationary engines and supplies stored
there would be swallowed up. The steel
frame of the new building is all of it
that is standing so far, supported by
concrete foundations. There is thought
to be no danger of its collapse
The beavers up in Bronx Park are
sore. Their dam iv Beaver Pond was
carried away by the high water, and
they are too nervous to sleep it off liko
the bears. The Bronx River is angry,
too. A foaming flood is thundering over
the waterfall at the lower end of Lake
Agassiz.
Rain leaking through the roof of a
freight car standing on a switch in the
railroad yards at Twelfth avenue and
t'oth street soaked a load of lime in the
car and caused it t<> take fire.
Employes in the yard sent in a fire
alarm. In the mean time the train was
broken and the burning car taken from
the switch. A freight engine drew It to
a point about two blocks north, where it
was found that an engine: which had re
sponded to the alarm could not be driven
across the tracks. The burning car was
then run south to 50th street and an
other engine called. The fire was put
out, with a damage of about $1,500. No
other cars were damaged.
And now here is what the weather
man hands out:
Monday— Fair and warmer
Tuesday—Fair, rising temperature;
light, variable winds, mostly west.
BOSTON RAINFALL 2.82 INCHES.

WILLARD SAVES CROWD
But Wrecks Aeroplane and In
jures Himself.
Springfield. Mo., June 12.— Prompt ac-
I tion on the part of Charles W.
v/ho made an ascension In an aeroplane
to-day, caused the almost complete de
struction of his machine, but prevented
r* from swooping down into the crowd of
spectators. As it was, the biplane . !l
18D feet and landed about twenty yards
from the crowd, breaking the engine and
severely bruising tho aviator.
"W'illard wa.s sailing about one hundred
and fifty feet in the air when the engino
suddenly stopped. The biplane darted
downward, directly toward the centre <f
the crowd. The aviator, instead of try
ing to right the machine, turned liis en
tire attention to preventing it from fall
ing into the crowd.
AVillard says the machine cannot be
repaired inside of two weeks, and he
will try to get another biplane to make
a flight from Lawrence, Kan., to Kan
sas City on Wednesday.
Just as the engine, broke to-day R. R.
Touiifr, Wlllard's manager, informed the
crowd through a megaphone that the
machine was flying at the rate of fifty
miles an hour. Many believe Willard
would have made a successful landing
but for the fact that a barbed wire fence
caught the rear end of the biplane. A
defective magneto brush In his engine
caused a delay of two hours in WO
lard's flight yesterday.

..hen Sears reached town with his
story the authorities sent a hurry call
to surrounding towns for help, and a 1a 1
