week during a police raid. today was

one Cuccolo and Cuccolo's wife. crimes
of which Alfano and other workers in

cused.
When Alfano was arrested he was
brought into the Tombs court on the
charge of murder. The case went over
until today pending the arrival of legal
documents from Italy. but meantime
the Italian detectives in charge of the
arrest were advised to submit the case
to the immigration officials The pre-
siding judge considered it unlikely that
Alfano could be held ON the homicide
complaint, in the absence OF documents
in evidence from abroad. The courts
suggestion was followed.

BELA'S SCHEME
STRIKES A SNAG
Articles of incorporation Re-
fused the So-called National
Roosevelt League.

New York. April 22.-The application
of Bella Tokaki and others of this city
for a certificate of Incorporation of the
National Roosevelt League, was de-
MED today by Justice Bischoff in the
supreme court. The principal object
of the proposed organization was ito
aid in securing by all parties and citi-
zens of all parties, irrespective of poiit-
ical affiliations, the nomination of
Theodore Roosevelt to succeed himself
as president of the United States
The petition declares that present po-
litica1 parties and large numbers of
public men. Notwithstanding their pub
lie professions, are entirely too much
attached to governing the people for a
party and by a party, or Of a class for
q class and by a class. 1t was to this
latter portion of the petition that JUS
tice Bischoff took exception. He took
the ground that while these allegations
may be proper subject for debate. they
are not proper when placed In formal
articles of Incorporation. He therefore
refused to affix his signature to the
document until the improper matter
shall have been eliminated.

FACTS WERE DISTORTED.
Harry Thaw's Mother Tells of Sui
eide in Her House.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 22-Mrs. Mary c.
Thaw, mother of Harry K. Thaw, tonight
asked the Associated Press to give to the
public the facts concerning a suicide at
her home here eight years ago, which she
asserts some newspapers have distorted
and elaborated upon. Mrs. Tnaw in her
statement says:
ssIn eighteen years during which I oc-
cupied Lyndhurst it is safe to say that
the number of ministers anu their families
for whom it was a stopping place reached
many scores. Among these was the wife
of a former assistant to the pastor Of the
Third Presbyterian church, of which 1
and my family are members After her
husband had resigned from that position
they both engaged in teaching in a semi
nary in the central part of Pennsylvania.
Later I heard that the wife had become
an invalid. suffering from nervous pros
tration with a tinge of melanchoiia. When
/ heard that the husband had received a
cali from church in Kentucky 1 invited
the invalid wife to visit me at Lyndhurst
while preparations for leaving the old
home and settling in the rev one were
under way, believing that the change of
scenery, rest, medical care and careful
nursing would be beneficial.
81 returned from an afternoon recep-
ton one day and, not finding her in the
library, sent maid to her room. who re-
ported that the door of the bathroom was
locked and she could get no answer. This
alarmed me. and [ ordered the gardener
10 enter by a window. when the startling
discovery was made that the poor woman
had ended her life in the manner de-
scribed in the highly-colored account Civ
en- in one Pittsburg and some OF the
eastern newspapers. The family physician
was Immediately sent for. The husband
was telegraphed to. The pastor Of the
Third church and his wife came also. and
he very kindly offered to accompany the
remains to Kentucky and conduct the fu-
neral services. The doctor, on his ar
rival, said that it would be necessary to
have the coroner. The coroner was sent
nd al 10 ?
to. Stripped Of all useless verbiage, these
are the facts in the case"

firming the decision of the supreme
court of Missouri, and thus sustaining
the verdict of guilty returned by the
trial court.
The case has been before the public
for several years and attracted much
attention, largely because of Earring
toms pretense of bearing an English
title under which. shortly before the
tragedy with which his name is con-
necJed. he married a young woman of
good family residing in Kansas City.
Darlington made a vigorous fight in
the St Louis courts. contending that
his conviction was due TO prejudice and
that the charge was not sustained by
proof. When the Missouri supreme
court decided against him he brought
tile case to the federal supreme court
on a writ of error. oontending that his
trial lad not been fair.

FIGHTING THE
ASPHALT TRUST
Complaint Against the Uintah
Railway Company for Max
inq Excessive Charges.

Washington, April 22.-Ar interest
ing complaint. directed against the So
called asphalt trust, was filed today
with the interstate commerce commits
sion. The title of the case is the
the Uintah Railway company. The
complainant is a corporation under the
laws of Missouri and is engaged in the
mining and shipment OF gilsonite from
Utah, and in the conversion of gilson-
lite into asphaltum. The defendant
operates a railroad line between the
towns of Dragon. Utah, and Mack,
Colo, fifty-four miles. The ellison As
phaltum company, controlled by the
Barber Asphaltum Paving company.
according to the petition, operates gill
sonite mines in competition with the
complainant near Dragon.
Controlled by Trust.
1t is alleged that the railroad COM
pany, the ellison company and the Bar
Der Asphalt Paving company are all
corporations subsidiary to the general
asphaltum company, commonly known
as the asphalt trust. and are controlled
and owned by the trust.
The complainant says it is charged 80
cents per 100 pounds by the railroad
company for the transportation of gill
sonite from Dragon to Mack. or at the
rate of s150 car, although the rail-
road company transports livestock be-
tween the same points at the rate of
s25 a car, and commodities generally
at like low rates.
Tariffs Not Observed.
1t is claimed that the tariffs filed
with the interstate commerce commits
sion by the railroad company are not
observed, and that the complainant is
subject to excessive charges, dis
elimination and injustice. The COM
plainant is compelled to pay % cents
each for the loading of cars, and rs
cents per team for hauling it's products
over a highway controlled by the de-
fendent. thus necessarily increasing the
price of its product about rs cents a
ton. The complainant does not know
what the railroad charges the ellison
company. but says it would make no
difference what the charge might be.
as. being controlled by the asphalt
trust, il simply would be taking money
out of one pocket and putting 1t in an
other.
Rivals Get Passes.
Tt is alleged also that the railroad
fieials of the compliments competitor
companies.
The commission Is requested to adj
Just the charges made for the carrying
Of freight on a just and reasonable
basis, to give the complainant repara-
tory damages in the sum of $4,000, and
to issue orders to prevent a contin-
uance of the discrimination against
the complainant.
