TRYING TO KILL SELF.

Samuel Maede, 40 years old, a laborer.
Of 6 Prince street, gave the police of
tho Fourth precinct and the City Hos
pifa1 authorities all kinds of trouble
today, when, following an attempt at
suicide, he became unmanageable at
'rne hospital and had to be rolled in a
blanket and tied hand and foot in a

About 6 o'clock this morning Abra-
ham Deutsch, the landlord of the house,
heard Maede's four children crying.
He found Maede on the floor kicking up
his heels and moaning. with the gas
jet, un1ighted, turned on full.
The City Hospital was notified and
Maede taken there. He was not in a
serious condition, but raised such a
row in the hospital that they would not
keep him there. Word was sent to the
Fourth precinct, and Plainclothesman
Kaas, in charge of the patrol wagon
was sent to get him.
Police Surgeon j. Henry Clark, as
soon as he reached the Fourth Pre-
cinct Station, ordered Maede taken
back at once to the City Hospital.
"This man is in very weak con-
dition and should never have been al
lowed to leave the hospital" declared
DIR. Clark. His pulse is very low and
he needs immediate medical attention"
At the station DR.. Clark did not
make any statement as to what was
the cause of Maedes condition. l.a
was at once taken back to the hospita.

form Her Before RanSack=
ing Entire House.

Mrs. Catherine Burt, In semi
wearing gray suit ransack her apart
ments at 203 Jelliff avenue. She was
powerless to utter an outcry. She has
a vague remembrance that few min
utes before she saw the burglar at work

MYSTERY OF Trunk
MURDER BATTLES
ITALIAN POLICE
American Woman, Believed to
Be Bride of Porter Charlton,
Was SuffOcated.
RUSSIAN COMPANION OF
COUPLE is UNDER ARREST
Young Husband Is Sought, as
Two Were Needed to
Garry Body.

COMO, Italy, June 1.-THE police are
bending all their energies to solve the
mysterious murder of an American
woman, believed to be Mrs. Porter
Charlton, of New York, formerly Mary
Crittendon Scott, of San Francisco,
whose body was found tied in trunk
at the bottom of Lake Como yesterday.
Today some startling facts were un-
covered. The detectives believe that
the body found in the trunk was that
of Mrs. Charlton and that the woman
met her death at the hands of two
men.
Porter Charlton, the young husband,
who was on q wedding tour with his
bride up to the time of the disappear
ance of the couple, has not yet been
located. Constantine Ispolatoff, a Rus
sian, who has been seen frequently
with the couple, is held in custody.
The man whom the police are partfcu-
1arly anxious to get hold of is In
Switzerland, where, he fled Immediately
after the murder. There is no authori-
tatiye statement as to who he Is.
The post mortem examination of the
body was made today. This revealed
that the. woman died from suffocation.
It was found that there were seven
wounds on the head, sufficient to rem
der her UNCONSCIOUS. but they were not
regarded as of nature to cause DEATH
The wrapping had beenrdone with a
strip of cloth and the body was
crowded into trunk along .withisome
letters and personal effects. 1t was
these latter articles which led to the
Identification. Aside from the wounds
disclosed at the post-morten, the body
showed certain abnormal conditions up
on which the doctorsreservedsexpress-
ing an opinion.
The police are working hard to re-
construct the mysterious circumstances
of the crime. Their Investigations
show that the trunk and its contents
were found to be too heavy to be car
ried to the lake by one person, and that
the individual who first attempted this
task called to his assistance an accom-
plice. The steps of both were heard
when they left the villa bordering the
lake, carrying heavy weight.
Ispolatoff, the Russian who figured IN
the affair. was arrested especially be-
GAUGE the day before the murder he Is
said to have made inquiries of fisher
men concerning the depth of the lake at
the spot where the trunk was found.
The unusual mystery connected with
the affair, the disappearance OF the nus
band and the circumstances OF Drutallty
developed by the post-mortem, all COM
bine to give the case absorbing interest,"

LEWIS ANSWERS
MARTINI. WON |
ENTER RATE FIGHT.
Considers 1t an Improperly to
Ask Governor to Call Special
Session.
Tspecial 10 the Newark star.l

TRENTON. June 11.-Banking and
Insurance Commissioner Vivian M
Lewis has made reply to William p.
Martin, of Newark, the Progressive
candidate for Governor. Mr.. Martin
had asked the banking commissioner to
join in an appeal to Governor Fort Tor
a special session of the Legislature to
enact a law according to his views on
rate regulation.
Mr.. Lewis, in his letter made pubic
today, declines to do so on the ground
that the matter is pending before the
Governor, and he considers 1t an imA
propriety to tell him what to do. He
also explains his position regarding the
gubernatorial nomination, accepting
Martins statement that he considers
himself the recognized regular candi-
date, and says he will await the con-
ventions action before acknowledging
this to be the fact.
A copy of .he banking commissioner
letter follows:

Thinks 1t Remarkable Demand.
"As a foundation for your rather re-
markable demand, you characterize
yourself as the choice of progressive
Republicans for Governor or New Jer-
sew, and convey to me the news that l

ing in some maner with which l am

BELIEVES OLD ADMIRER
MURDERED MRS. CHARLTON.

WASHINGTON, June 11.-That one
of her former admirers may have been
at the bottom of the mystery involving
the finding of a trunk containing the
1o6v of Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Charl-
ton. in Lake Como. Italy. yesterday
% suspected by Paul Charlton, father
in-Iaw of the unfortunate bride. Judge
charlton. who is connected with the
R,,reau of Insular Affairs in the War
Departrnent, returned from Atlantic
City late last night, and IN speahihS oA
the tragedy he said:
"ESrom the few details available Isbe-
I,eye that. Porter, my son, is deadsaiso'
From. the cheerful tone OF his last aet-
ter I am inclined to believe that some
one. possibly one OF her former ad-
,nirers. who followed them to Italy. rs
at the bottom of the tragedy
'My son Is about 20 years Old. ana
for some time had been suffering from
tuberculosis. In December, 1903. he
went to New York. where he obtained
enployment in the foreign department
nf the National City Bank. Eariy In
1910 he met Mrs. Mary Scott CASTLE tne
divorced wife of Neville Castle. aIiab-
torney of San Francisco. She was
about 40 years old.
.I knew nothing of her antecedents'
and did not even know that Porter IN
tended to marry her until after he had
done so. They were married In Will
mington, Del, March IL last. and sew"
eral days later sailed from New York
for Genoa. Only last Monday I re-
ceived a letter from him telling me Of
his plans His letter was full of en-
dearing references to his wife"
Overcome by the news of his
daughter -in-law's death and the infor-
nation that his son was missing, which
led him to believe that the young man
had met the same fate as the mur-
dered woman, Judge Charlton was con-
fined to his home today. A representa-
tive of the Insular Bureau of the War
Department was sent to his home to
comfort the father of the missing
young husband.
Judge Charlton has asked Secretary
Knox to have the State Department,
through its representatives in Italy,
make an investigation into the Lake
Como mystery, and also to try to learn
the whereabouts of his son, Porter,
husband of the murdered woman. The
department acted promptly in the re
quest and has taken the matter up
with the American embassy at Rome
by cable.

Commuters disappointed.
The thousands of commuters are
wrought upPovef the latest act of the
Railroad Commission.
They insist that although the pro-
posed increase in rates come within
the Interstate Commerce Commission
classification technically, the fares ar
fected are wholly within the State.
AS proof of this the commuters point
to the fact that the ferry rates between
the New Jersey terminals and New
York city remain unchanged.
Making the rate from New Jersey to
is subterfuge adopted by the raihoaa
companies to prevent State intery
ference.
The commuters say further that ade-
quate relief can only be obtained II
the Legislature should be called in
special session.
The public utilities law can be re-
enacted with rate-making power in
cluded.
In addition the commuters claim that
as all the railroad companies hold
charters from the State of New Jersey
they are subject to such reasonable
restrictions and limitations as to rates
and fares as the Legislature may de-
eide TO impose.
