New York, June 23.-POrter Charl- ton. husband of Mrs. Mary Scott Cas- tie Charlton, whose body was found stuffed in a trunk taken from Lake Como, Italy, recently, was arrested as he. stepped from the steamship Prin- cess Irene in HOboken today.

 Charlton said he and his wife had been having supper together at the villa on Lake Como, and they engaged in a violent quarrel
 Charlton said his wife was one of the best women in the world, but had an ungovernable temper. That she called him a vile name and finally, when he could stand the abuse no longer, attacked her with a wooden mallet.

 the Young Man Is Insane.

New York. June 23.-Porter Charl- tons family believe he is insane, and upon this ground will try to save him from paying the murder penalty in this country or in Italy. The prisoners father, Judge Paul Charlton, said he would appeal to the federal authorities for permission to ascertain his sons mental condition, and there is no doubt that the report of the examining board will warrant his confinement in an institution.
 There was a touching scene when the father and son met at the Hobo ken police station. The elder man wept bitterly, but theyouthful prison CT maintained an air of unconcern. As they shook hands, the father regarded him with pity and sorrow.
 It's all right. boy" he said between sobs. well protect you.'

LABOR UNIONS
 NOT EXEMPT

Washington, June 23.-The action of the house , late today in receding from its labor amendment, marked the success full termination of an all day fight by President Taft against what he termed class legisla- ton of an improper sort and apparently removed the last real obstacle in the way of ad- jOurnment of congress within the next few days.
 MT. Taft bent every energy toward the defeat of the house amendment eXempting labor or ganiZatiOnS from the operation of the Sherman antitrust law He threw his whole influence into the fight, sending for scores of representatives urg- ing them to defeat the provis- ion. MT. Taft said if it cost him the support of every lab bring man in the country he would not approve such a law.
 The laboring man, he believed, asked only equality before the law. and was entitled to no more

and obtained a description and sam- pie of his handwriting. I then went to Hoboken and saw Chief of PO- lice Hayes. I found he had laid all traps for the arrest of Charlton. While I was giving him a descrip- ton I was informed that the Prin- cess Irene had just docked.
 Although we had made arrange ments to meet the Deutschland down the harbor with tug, we hastened to the North German Lloyd dock. The Princess Irene had just dis charged her passengers and the GUS toms officers were examining their baggage. Three detectives were with me. We looked into two or three stalls, and at last I saw a young fellow whom I thought an swered the description of Charlton. He was looking about him and his hands were trembling slightly as he opened his baggage for inspection.
 We went up ot him and I asked: Aren't you Porter Charlton?' At first he denied that he was and gave me the name of Jack Coleman. He was, however, taken to the station, where we found a tag such as is at tached to clothing, lettered "P Charlton Several sheets of paper, typewriter verses, were found also, and one of these bore the signature John Rodney (Porter Charlton), the former apparently a pen name.
 When the youth saw this evidence he stepped close to Chief Hayes and said; Yes. I'm Porter Charlton. I ad- init it"
 WILL FIGHT AGAINST RETURN.
 The confessed murderer is not without resources. Soon after he was locked up he got an attorney and his father, Judge Charlton, arrived in HOboken tonight to look after his sons case. The young man will be arraigned before Recorder McGov- ern at o'clock in the morning as a fugitive and the disposition of the case from that time will rest with the federal authorities.
 As soon as Gustave Dirosa, the Italian consul at New York, learned of Charlton's arrest, he cabled his government for instructions. He be- plication tomorrow for his extradi- tion for trial in Italy
 While life imprisonment is the severest penalty Charlton could pay for the crime under the Italian law, it is expected that his family will endeavor to keep him in this country. While international law is not clear ly defined, attorneys here and in Washington think they have a good chance of success.

The Story of the Capture of the Wife
 Murderer.

New York, June 23.-Following his confession that he killed his wife with a maIlet, Porter Charlton tonight Is behind the bars of a HobOken jail pending a settlement of the complicat- ed problem of eXtradition brought about by his arrest.

 In his signed confession. Charlton said no one else than he had a hand in the death of his wife It was the old story of incompatibility and high tempers. After Charlton told his story ramblingly, Chief of Police Hayes condensed it into a typewriter state ment and the prisoner signed it.
 Don't you know that the autopsy showed that your wife was not dead when she was put into the trunk?" one of the detectives asked the prisoner.
 Again Charlton lost his self con- trol. "Oh, my Godi that could not me-" he cried. "She must have been dead"
 CAREFUL OF HER NAME.
 The youth showed a curious desire to protect the reputation of the woman he killed and refused to answer ques- tions bearing upon her life abroad. "ls my wife's name going to appear in this?" was one of his first questions.
 After Charlton had been led to cell. Captain Henry H. Scott, the woman's brother, sat with hands clenched tightE ly about his walking stick and told his story.
 Several days ago. he said, 'I made up my mind that Porter Charlton would come back to this country. He had no friends in Europe and it would be his natural impulse to come home Yesterday I learned that the Deutschland was due here late in the night, and I got ten days leave of ab- sence and made up my mind to go to New York and to watch every incom- ing steamer"
 Scott related how, In order to lose no time, he borrowed a launch in the early morning and crossed that part of Long Island sound that lies between Fishers Landing and the mainland He landed at New Lon don and slept in the railway sta tion until o'clock m the morning, when he took a riaofnrAOI.

MAYOR ARRAAGES Il
SPECIAL EE1|NC
Bonds For New Waterworks
Pump Advertised For
Sale Tomorrow.

No business was transacted at the
regular meeting of the Hammond city
council last night. Mayor Becker,
however, announced that a special
meeting would be held next Tuesday
in order to get action as soon as pos
sib1e on ratifying the contract be-
tween the board of public works and
the company from whom the city is to
buy a new pump. This action, how
ever, cannot be taken until the bonds
have been sold. Mayor Becker said that
the bonds had been advertised for sale
for tomorrow.
Before adjourning the mayor and
the council discussed the various plans
for building the new pumping station
in the most effective manner.
Mayor Becker explained that it is
advisable to hold the special meet
ing in order that the contractors may
start at once to build the machinery for
the new station.
Councilman John Pascaly asked that
notice be given the Gary and Interur-
ban to the effect that they must run
their cars in Hammond within the
speed limit. He cited the collision OF
yesterday morning, in which he said a
horse had been three-quarter killed and
the driver half killed.

COURT NOT TO
MEET HERE

For the first time in four years the
federal court will pass its semi annual
term in Hammond and Judge Ander
son will not come to this city. The de-
cision not to hold court here came as
a result of an inquiry that was made
by Charles Surprise, deputy clerk of
the United States court. among the
lawyers of the city as to their disposi-
tion to try cases.
There were eight cases that might
have been tried at the coming term of
court, Oct. IS, but in only one of them
was the attorney willing to go to trial
This fact was made known to Noble
c. Butler, clerk of the United States
court, with headquarters at Indianapo-
lis, and Butler communicated the facts
to Judge A. B. Anderson.
Judge Anderson then stated that it
would be unwise to put the govern
ment to the expense of calling a feder-
al jury and that the term would be
passed.
The terms of court in Hammond be-
gin on the third Tuesday in October
and April, and under the ruling of
Judge Anderson there will not be an
other term of the federal court until
April

MAD DOG
SCARE ON
NORTH SIDE

Following on the heels of the mad
dog scare in the south end of Ham
mond broke loose this morning just
across the state line, near Wolf lake,
where the Knickerbocker ice house No.
is located.
A COW belonging to Alfred Lorrain
went mad there, she having been bitten
by a mad dog three weeks ago. The
Lorains drank the milk from this cow
until last Sunday. She was killed this
morning by a neighbor who had been
called in, and later today Chief Aust
gen shot another dog who was har-
bored by the Lorrains and cat which
was known to have been bitten. The
dog which Chief Austgen shot was not
known to have been bitten, but he
was killed for safety sake. The dog
which bit the COW was killed about
three weeks ago.
DIR. Stonebreaker, a veterinarian,
was summoned to the Lorrain place
last night, but could not go until this
morning. He asked that Chief Austgen
go with him. because of the peculiar
actions of the animal. Upon arriving
there today they learned that the cow
yesterday, while standing IN the barn,
snapped al the chickens that came near
her and this morning she attempted to
bite at anything that was near her.
The Lorrains told Chief Austgen that
they remembered that their dog had
been bitten by another some time dur
ing the latter part of August About
three weeks ago he bit the COW and
shortly after they killed the dog not
knowing positively whether he had
been mad or not
The Hammond police have started
the determination of unmuzzled dogs
in earnest Two were killed last night
and three more this forenoon. The
mum would have been larger, but for
the fact that in quite a number of
cases the owners, upon seeing the po-
licemen approach, called in their dogs
and kept them in the yards until the
officers had passed. In some cases il
was learned that people along a certain
street telephoned their friends notify
ing them of the approach of the Off
GERS. The war upon the unmuzzled
dogs will be continued from day to day
