NO INQUEST HELD
'J
Letters of Woman Fail to
Show Any Relations
With Rector
Havre, Mont., Oct 28.—The Rev.
Leonard Jacob Christler, rector of
St. Marks church of the Incarnation
4 here and widely known ss the "bis
hop of all outdoors" and Mrs. -Mar
gueritq Carleton, wife of a former
Montana district judge, who. were
killed yesterday in the clergyman's
home within a few feet of the room
ll where Mrs. Christler was, were the
^.victims of temporary insanity on the
I part of Mrs. Carleton, in the opinion
of local officials.
So sure arc the officials that the
denths represent a murder andwui
ijcide that Coroner John Holland and
:{thc sheriff's office last night announc
!i ed no irfquC'St would be held unless
relatives of the dead man or woman
insists on one.
The theory of the officers received
confirmation from Dr. D. S. Macken­
zie was called by Mrs. Christler im­
mediately after the shooting. Dr.
MacICenzie said that when he arrived
at the Christler home, the1 pistol with
which the two had been shot was
still grasped in Mrs. Carleton's hand
and her finger still was on the trig­
ger.
No Motive Established.
In '^an unsuccessful effort to es
tablish a motive for the shooting
officers yesterday partially recon­
structed a number of letters .found
in a partially destroyed condition in
in the room Mvs. Carleton has oc­
cupied in a local hotel. They declar­
ed they could find no mention of the
dead' clergyman in these letters,
which came from Mrs. Carleton's
pother, daughter and husband, for­
mer Judge Frank Carleton, from
whom she was separated. One let­
ter from tlie husband, officers said,
mentioned he w«s sending her. a sum:
of money.
Came to Home.
Mrs. Christler-, describing the
shooting said that Hits. Carleton
came to the Christler home late
Thursday night and remained until
early Friday morning talking to the
Rev. and Mrs. Christler. When she
started to leave Vfie clergyman ac­
companied her toward the entrance,
the widow said, and had just shut
door between a small hall and the
room where Mrs. Christler was left,
when two shots ran. out. Mrs. Chris­
tler opened the door and found the
bodies, that of Mrs. Carleton being
on top of the minister's body.
All of the principle in the tragedy
were prominent, both in Montana and
elsewhere. The Rev. Christler who
was 46 years old, had held charges in
N -v York and New Jersey. He came
to Montana in 1910 as missionary of
the Milk River Valley ahd had devel­
oped his field into one of the largest
mission territorial in the United
States.
Mrs. Christler is the daughter of
the late David Wadsworth, Auburn,
N. Y. Manufacture. The Rev and Mrs.
Christler were married in 1914.
The funeral of the dead minister
will be held this afternoon at 5:30
o'clock with services at St, Mark's
church of the Incarnation which was
built by Rev. Mr. Christler. The body
will be forwarded to Auburn, N. Y.,
for burial.

prices have been -agreed upon and
!ut into cffcct for the sale of bi­
tuminous coal produced in the Pitts­
burgh district .of Pennsylvania, and
mining .districts of southern Ohio,
'and in the Pittsburgh No. 8 Ohio

therto charged by operators.
The new schedule fixes a maxi­
mum of $4.50 per ton in the Pitts­
burgh district $4.75 per ton in the
southern districts of Ohio, and $4.25
per ton in the number eight, Ohio
district. A large percentage of the
operators have agreed to adhere t.)
the new schedule which provides
reductions ranging from $1.50
$2.50 per ton.
Similar agreements resulting in
the reduction of coal prices have
been made in other eastern produc­
ing districts and Mr. Spens will

to the northwest to supplement the
iwpjHy ordinarily sent via-{the Great

rangements will be made to sen-i
the anthracite supply immediately
necessary in box cars.

113 UNHAPPY!
Oldest Man Philosophic
JACINTO FLO RIO
San Mateo, Cal., Oct. 28.—Ameri­
ca's' oldest man is no more content­
ed than most of rest of us.
He has had 113 years' in which to
search for contentment and hie is
honest enough to admit today that
h'e hasn't found it.
One would expect a man, upon his
113th birthday, to be both happy
and philosophic.
Jacinto Florio is philosophic and
happy after a fashion.
But major sorrows weigh heavily
against minor happinesses.
"Don't let the old folks home be
your wife ii) your fleclining years,"
is his advice. "It's never too late
to wed. For 70 years I've been
without a wife, and I'd be far
happier if I had' one now. Then,
again, I've always liked to feel that
I would die on my native soil, which
is Mexico, but I shall not. Very like­
ly I shall die right here among
strangers.
"Don't think that contentment
comes necessarily with advanced
years. Of course it's something to
live 113 yeafs, and I don't regret a
year of it, but I've never found con­
tentment.
"I've had money and I've been
broke. I was employed for 52 years
by one man. I guess I was contented
after a fashion, but now it seems
like a long rut.
"I don't want to be misunder­
stood. Life is very much worth
while and being discontented does
not spoil it. It helps keep you from
gpipg. stale,",

ITALY ISSUES APPEAL TO INSURGENTS
WORLD FIGHT
AGAINST DRY
U. S. IS PLAN
OFFER FULL SUPPORT
Believe They Have Little to
Fear From Prthibitionists
Of Europe
(By the Associated Press)
Bmreels, Oct. 28.—A world fight
against prohibition in the United
States as tire center of the wet cam­
paign was planned at the closing
session of the secret conference, of
anti-prohibitionists here.
Order Drastic
The meeting ended with a banquet
last night which was marked by the
number and value of rare old vint­
ages, chiefly French, served to the
militant wets.
Count Demun of France, was
named head of "the international
committee of defense." This com­
mittee was described as a force to
bring the dry people back* into the
wet fold.
Next year's campaign has been
planned secretly, but it is known
that the principal effort will be made
in the United States where the pro­
hibition situation causes the great­
est damage to the wets, and where,
it is thought, there is a chance for
the greatest success.
The members of the committee
think that recent incidents in con­
nection with prohibition in'Ameri­
can, particularly the international
difficulties over ships, have cre'ated
a favorable atmosphere for the great
anti-prohibitionist assault.
DRASTIC ORDER
New York, Oct. 28. American
steamships cannot carry oi* sell li­
quor i,n any part of the world, Fed­
eral Judge Hand held today in a de­
cision dismissing the suit of two
American steamship companies to
enjoin enforcement of the Daugherty
prohibition rulihg.
The American campaign will
carried on in cooperation with $1
liquor forces of- the United S
it was learned today.
Organizers of the league believe
that they have little to. fear from
the prohibition forces in Europe.
Their chief concern is to give
every possible assistance to Amer­
ican wets. It is explained that
the European liquor forces do not
want to make the same mistake
that the AmeKcan prohibitionists
did whe? they came to Europe
preaching prohibition. Officers in
the new organization will com­
municate with the anti-dry leaden
of America to offer the full sup­
port of their' organization.
"We are not going to America
to ask the United States to over­
throw prohibition," said Jean
Couprie, one of the French dele
gates to the Brussels convention,
which organized the league. "We
would probably be politely but
firmly ejected if we did, and right­
ly so. However, we believe our
case is just as legitimate as that
of the prohibitionists. American
supporters of prohibition have tak­
en the liberty of sending their
apostles to Europe. We believe we
have at least the right to offer our
whole hearted support to Ameri­
can wets, if they will accept. They
will find our organization amply
backed financially and with a hun­
dred million advocates back of it.
"Further details of the Ameri­
can campaign naturally await the
attitude of the American wets to­
ward our offer of cooperation."

This and the statement that Mrs.
Mills escaped from her assailants
after the rector was killed and hid
behind bushes nearby, only to be re­
captured and dragged back to the
spot under the crabapple tree were
amazing details in the eyewitness
story as retold yesterday by Mrs.
Gibson to Special Deputy Attorney
General William A. Mott.
Confident that he has solved the
murder, which he says is "complex
but not a mystery," Prosecutor Mott
went ahead today with the work of
assembling corroborative evidence.
He indicated to newspaper men that
no arrests will be made until he has
presented the case to the Somerset

GETS 90 DAYS,
WANTS 10 YEARS
Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 28.—F. F. Os­

"SPHINX" STILL SILENT
MRS. CH AMPION
Cleevland, O., Oct. 28.—The
"sphinx woman," the woman who
held her secret despite all efforts
of police, jail officials and inter­
viewers, is on trial here charged
with the murder of Thomas A. Con
nell, Yale graduate.,
Connell was killed in a down-town
cafe. Three shots were fired. When
the smoke cleared the "sphinx wo­
man," Mrs. Mabel Champion, was
found holding the smoking revolver.
She was arrested. Every subter­
fuge was used in an effort to make
her disclose her past. She held si­
lence. She was formally charged
with the killing. Still ^he refused
to disclose her identity, or make
any statement concerning the slay­
ing.
The day of the trial drew near.
Still upsetting traditions of her
sex for inability. to keep a secret,
no one could learn anything from
the girl of her past, nor, from her,
of anything which occurred the
night Connell met death.
Even now, with the jury empanel­
ed nnd the trial started, she keeps
silence, refuses to say one word in
her defense. It is believed she
will say that the smoking death re­
volver was thrust into her hand,
that she is innocent, perhaps dis­
close something of her past. But
even this is not certain.

Disaster
(By the Associated Press)
London, Oct. 28. Martiall
law was proclaimed in Italyl
to take effect at noon todayl
but the proclamation was re-|
scinded, it is stated in dis­
patches from the Stefani|
Agency in Rome, the semi­
official Italian news organ-|

It is explained that the
withdrawal of the proclama­

Special dispatches earlj

ment by the Fascisti against
several towns. Florence, PizaJ
Creftieno and other chief cen­
ters were declared to have
been taken over by the Fas­
cisti forces, who deposed the
state authorities and assume
command. Apparently, ac-|
cording to these advices, there
was no resistance.
Communications in all parte
of the country are badly dis^

declaration of marital law is
the first to reach here since
the movement started.
King Victor Emanuel is
known to have returned tc

"It is the government's expectation
that the citizens w?U remain' calr

taken for their safety.
