IN PAY OF GERMAN LINE
Member of Associated Press
Staff in Washington Resigns.
HUMPHREY MAKES CHARGE
Saj^s Representative of Steam
ship Trust Was Assigned
to Cover Departments.
Washington. June ln-Reprpfontativf
Humphrey, of Washington, introducer
of the ship subsidy bill, spoke in the
House to-day on various forms «>f com
binations among foreign steamship
lines touching at American ports, and
referred to discriminatory rates
charged for sending American products
abroad. In his speech he charged that
cf-rtaln foreign lines were represented
in Washington by a member of the
staff of The Associated Press. In con
nection with that statement the fol
lowing was issued by The Associated
! It having come to the knowledge of he
executive officers of The Associated Press
that an employe in the Washington oflice
has been engaged under salary by two
steamship lines to furnish them with cer
tain classes of information, an investiga
tion baa been made. It has been ; disclosed
that while such employment did not at
any time involve* any act on the part of
itM employe which could in any way atre. t
the integrity of the service, nor even inter
fere with his legitimate and proper work
for The Associated Press, nevertheless
such employment is so subject to ™iscor...
ception as seriously to impair bis I'.se.ul
ness. and his relation to The Associated
Press has in consequence ceased by the
acceptance of his resignation.
This termination of his long, useful and
honorable service does not justify any as-
Rumntion that he has been consc.oush
guilty of any misconduct, nor that In tne
work he has performed for the steamship
companies he has done anything wWchone
not connected with The Associated Pre**
might not have done with perfect propri
ety.
This is what Mr. Humphrey said on
this subject:
The hired representative of Herr Ballin
and his interest* is here in Washington
10-day or th* Staff of The Associated Pres^
th* atest news gathering agency In tne
world This Gentleman's name is Mr.
Jerome J Wilber. and when you remem
ber ho^v close the German merchant ma
rine '- to the German navy it is at least
suggestive that this representative of this
giant foreign steamship trust should also
he the representative of The Associated
;v,.c f assigned to our State, War and Na\"
*' When be was on the witness stand the
other day he refused to testify as to tn«
amount of money that he was being pair]
for service. The-next day after that
Mr Boas, of New York (American : .<■■-.■»]
manager of the Hamburg- American Packet
Company); was on the witness stand.
and he testified that Mr. Wilber's compen
sation was $:;/'>"> a year. What does be
do? What are the services that he ren
ders this company?
Mr. Humphrey's statement had ref
erence to testimony given before the
House committee which has been in
vestigating the alleged existence of a
lobby in opposition to the ship subsidy
project.
In other parts of his speech Mr.
Humphrey said that by a method of
"fixing" the trade South America buys
from the United States only about .". per
cent of what it imports. Certain great
American trusts, said Mr. Humphrey,
receive special rates and privileges from
the foreign ships. He mentioned the
Standard Oil Company, the Steel Trust
and the harvester combination.
"The' Hamburg-American Packet Com
pany is the greatest power, is the most
gigantic trust, combine and monopoly
that exists ' in ' the world;"* declared Mr.
| Humphrey.. ."AH. the different combines
and companies on the Atlantic Ocean
are als'. under that gigantic working
scheme and have a common tinder
standing.' The head of this greatest of
all trusts! is the Hamburg- American
Line. It is ajso probable that this line
i exerts, together with Japan, a control
ling interest in all the Pacific ■confer
ences.' "

SETBACK _FOR_HASKELL
Oklahoma Capitol Fight Goe3 to
Supreme Court.
Guthrie, Okla , June 16.— Judpe A. H.
Huston, in the County District Court here.
to-day overruled thp demurrer of Governor
Haskell t<> the petition of County Attorney
Hepburn for an injunction preventing re
moval of the capital from Guthrie to Okla
homa City. • The temporary injunction
issued Monday was continued in force until
further order.
The court heid that the enabling act was
valid in imposing the condition that the
capital should remain in Guthrie until 1913;
that the^cou't had jurisdiction over the per
son of the Governor in matters where he
had no discretion, and that the County At
torney had the power to file application for
an injunction. The decision differed from
Attorney General West on ail points.
The attempt to remove the capital to
Oklahoma City will now come squarely be
fore the state Supreme Court. Attorney
Genera 1 West will apply to the higher court
for a writ of prohibition to set aside the
orders of the District Court. Governor
Haskeli m his demurrer took the position
that as chief executive he was not amen
able to the state courts.
Oklahoma City. Okla.. .Tune lfi. -Governor
HaskHl issued a proclamation to-nifiht de
claring the capital location bill carried and
officially .announcing that Oklahoma City
had received the createst number of votes.
The proclamation is based nn the complete
election returns furnished the Governor
by the State election board. The measure
earr;p<i by approximately 33.CW majorfly.
Governor Haskell said 10-night that the
overruling r>f his demurrer by Judge Rus
ton in Guthrie would not in the least inter
fere wiih the determination of the State
officials to remain permanently in Okla
1 oma city.
'•The demurrer was merely a basis for
seturins a writ of prohibition in cnye it
was overruled. " said the Governor. He did
not indicate his intention with reference to
a writ of prohibition.
A message from William .1. Bryan to
Governor Ha.ske!l. received to-day, con
gratulated the Governor on his administra
tion of State affairs.
"It is a remarkable showing." writes Mr.
Bryan. '"You have with great ability and
clearness presented a record that ought to
appeal to your people."

able report on the bill from the Committee
on Tublic Buildings and Grounds soon after
the Senate convened. He made request for
immediate consideration.

IRK OF DIVERS FUTILE
Search for Body of Charlton To
Be Continued. However.
AMERICAN CONSUL INSISTS-
Investigation of Social Relations
of Dead Woman and Hus
band Under Way.
Como, Italy. June 16— Although profes
pional divers worked all day in the waters
of T^ke Como. their labors were not re
warded with the finding of anything that
would aid in solving the mystery or Mrs.
Mary Scott fastle Charlton's murder or
serve as a clew to the fate of the woman's
mlssinß husband. Porter Charlton.
Many visitors hay? come here from out
lying: district? and from adjoining towna to
watch the diver? at work, and they seamed
greatly disappointed to-day that nothing
more grewsome w-a-s brought up from the
bottom of the lake than a ragged hat. an
old shoe and similar articles of arpare).
which were found to have no connection
with the case.
Nothing^ was discovered to-day that in
any way would Justify the supposition that
Chariton's body is in the lake, and the
search has tended to strengthen the belief
entertained all along by the police that
Charlton haa made his way out of the
country, and may be now on board some
outward bound steamer.
Studying Scene of Murder.
Temporarily the examination of Ispola
toff, the Russian held in connection with
the case, has been suspended, while the ef
forts of the Prosecutor are being directed
to a thorough investigation of the scene of
the murder and of the domestic and social
relations of Charlton and his wife.
The divers who worked here to-day were
enpaered by the government upon the in
sistence of Charles M. Caughy, American
Consul at Milan, who holds to the theory
that the person or persons who murdered
Mrs. Charlton and placed h f r body in a
trunk and sank it in the lake disposed in
similar fashion of her husband.
The police, after the bottom of the lake
had been dragged in spots with grappling
hooks, were prepared to abandon this line.
of Investigation, but Mr. Caugfay urged that
a. further search be made by divers, and
the Italian authorities yielded to the wishes
of th«> consul.
Peasants Keenly interested.
The arrival of the under-water workers
this morning from Genoa caused much ex
citement among the peasants of the neigh
borhood, who appear to be absorbed in
the mystery. The interest in the case here
abouts is not confined to these residents by
any means. Summer visitors throughout
this region, including a number of Ameri
cans, have been attracted to the scene of
the tragedy. They gathered on the lake
shore in force to-day, hoping to witness a
.settlement of the much disputed point
whether Charlton fled after his wife had
been killed or was himself a victim of an
assassin.
The colony of visitors is sharply divided
into two parties, representing the two
theories. To-day many of the partisans
went so far as to lay wagers on the is
sue.
It is not certain that the divers will be
successful in settling the question because
of the depth of the iake. In spots the bot
tom lies about a thousand feet below fhe
surface of the water. The. divers, it ap
pears, cannot operate effectively at a
deptii of more than forty-five feet. At the
same time, to have been sunken to a great
depth, the body must have been attached
to a tremendous weight.
The belief" is strong among many that
Charlton is now on board a steamer bound
for New York. This possibility is recog
nised by the police, who believe that they
have closed every possible avenue of flight
sim-r- the discovery of the body. ■

BEAUCHAMP IS APPOINTED
Succeeds Wolverhampton as
President of the Council.
T.ondon, June 16.— The Earl of Beauchamp
to-day was appointed I,or<i President of the
Council, in succession to Viscount Wolver
hampton, who resigned from that office
yesterday.
William Lygon, the seventh Earl of
Beauchamp. became Great Britain's young
est colonial governor when in 1899. at the
apre of twenty-seven, he was made governor
and commander in chief of the colony of
New South Wai's. He remained at that
post only two years, however, as he proved
to be lacking in the experience required for
so important a place. His chief mistake
was a referenct? to the ancestors of the
colonists in a public address. As New
South Wales was a penal colony, this made
him unpopular.
He was born in 1572 and succeeded to the
earldom at the age of nineteen. In 1895.
when oniy twenty-three years old. he was
elected Mayor of Worcester. At twenty-
Bye be was a member of the School Board
of London.
The Lygons have been seated at Madres
fleld since the fifteenth century. Karly In
The following century the head of the
family married one of the co-hetreasea of
a Lord Beauchamp whose title had fallen
into abeyance. When, therefore, the new
title was created, in lSln. the name Beau
champ was chosen.

MAGEE OUT FOR KNOX
Pittsburg Mayor Throws Bomb
in Organization Camp.
DISAGREES WITH PENROSE
Movement to Nominate Secre
tary of State for Governor of
Pennsylvania Gains Strength.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune.}
Pittsburg. June 15.— Mayor W. A. Magee,
by an announcement made to-day, declar
ing that the Allegheny Covnty delegation
in caucus to-morrow, would Indorse Sec
retary Knox for the nomination for •;•■
ernor at lie Republican State Convention
next week, threw a bomb into th» camp
of the big Republican organization lead
ers, of the state, who have, been grooming
several simon-pure organization men for
the nomination. Magee's announcement
will be followed to-morrow by the action
of the delegates— thirty-eight in number—
the largest delegation in the state, outside
of Philadelphia.
Last Saturday Magee. returned from At
lantic City, where he conferred with Sena
tor Penrose and refused to abide by his
decision on the Governorship. Magee was
also ' nettled, it is said. N-cause Penrose
treated him cavalierly; like a boy politi
cian," Magee's friends say.
Magee is a young man and looks younger
than his years, but his uncle, the late
"Chris" Magee, was Republican leader of
Pittsburg for many years. Magee has risen
rapidly in power until now he is In the
Mayor's chair. It is said that other ele
ments in the party will attempt to oppose
the further domination of Penrose, includ
ing many Western Pennsylvania leaders
and also several in* other sections of the
state.
United States Senator George T. Oliver,
of Pittsburg. will go along on the Knox
boom, because he fears that a weak Re
publican ticket would endanger his chances
foi re-election by the next Legislature.
It was intimated here to-night that the
nomination for Governor would not be dis
tasteful to Secretary K'nox.
CONGRESSMEN FOR KNOX
Pennsylvanians Favor His Nom
ination for Governor.
Washington. June 15.— Ten members of
the Pennsylvania delegation in Congress to
day enthusiastically indorsed the sugges
tion of th* name of Secretary Knox for the
Republican nomination for Governor of
Pennsylvania. Other members of th© dele
gation who could not be seen to-night are
said to favor Mr. Knox, because they be
lieve his nomination would give the party
a man who could save it from peaataas "om
pHcatior,? in the Pennsylvania election this
fa!!. All the Congressmen believe the mat
ter will hinge largely on Secretary Kn"x's
ideas as to leaving the Cabinet. The opin
ions favoring his nomination at Harrisburg
next week are from Congressmen from al!
parts of the state. They believe a man like
Mr. Knox will be needed at the head of the
ticket to save the party in close Congres?
districts' and to give it a Legislature safely
Republican.
Congressman George F. Huff, of Greens
burg, said : "The nomination of Knox would
sv a very good solution of a difficult prob
lem. The probability that the Democrats
will make the tariff their principal issue in
next fall's campaign forewarns the Repub
lican party to name a ticket which will at
tract strength not only to the candidates
themselves but to the Congress and legis
lative tickets as well; I believe the party
should stand solidly on the tariff principle,
which has done so much to give ample em
ployment to our wage earners and fair re
turns to invested capital in Pennsylvania.
Ido not belle the party should" recede one
iota. The nomination of Knox will meet
the sentiment of the people of the state for
a strong candidate and assure to all classes
fair treatment and abundant prosperity un
der a Republican administration."
Congressman John Dalzell said: "Knox
would make a fine candidate and poll a
tremendous vote, but I ana not aware
whether he would care to step down from
the Cabinet and take hold of the affairs of
a state."
Congressman Irvine P. Wanger declared
that Knox would mak« ''a strong candida-o
in the campaign and a great Governor."
< 'onrressman Benjamin K. Focht. who
has just made a tour of the eight counties
in his district in the centre of the state,
said: "Knox's nomination would not leave
a leg for any insurgent in Pennsylvania to
stand upon. Knox would appeal to every
faction in the party, because every one
knows he is high class. His candidacy
would strengthen the weak places in the
Congress lines. Suppose control of the next
Congress should depend on three or four
seats, and Jusi that many were lost in
Pennsylvania hy having a weak state
ticket— what would the tariff protected
interests >t the country think of that?
The Qoaaj— a plfis of the coming election
is one to set us all thinking when we are
choosing a candidate for Governor. We
cannot stop short merely on thinking we
can beal tire ticket nominated by the Dem
ocrats at Allentown."
Congressman Arthur L. Bates, of Mead
ville, secretary of the Pennsylvania delega
tion, salu: "I will throw up my hat and
yell like a Comanche Indian if Knox Is
named. His candidacy would so impress
the people of the state that it would Insure
success in several Congress districts where
a great deal of unrest has recently been
reported. His candidacy would mean much
to the in every way."
Congressman Olmsted. of Harrisbure,
said: "Knox would make a bully good ex
ecutive for the state. I am not informed
what his own attitude is with regard to
tiie mention of his name in connection wth
the coming convention at Harrisburg
iVnnsylv.mians have all been pi'Oud of the
ciniit he has brought to tiie state.''
Congressman Griest. of I^am-aster, Perm..
who is known as tyre Sphinx cf the Penn
sylvania delegation and never gives inter
views, smilingly said: "Knox would make
a strong candidate."
Congressman Lafean, of York, said that
the Republican party needs a man like
Knox to lead it In Pennsylvania this fall.
Similar views were expressed by Con
gressmen Cooper and Butler.
