MRS. MARY CASTLE BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN SLAIN BE-
 CAUSE OF JEALOUSY.
HER HUSBAND IS SOUGHT
Russian Friend of Family Is Held in Belief That He Knows Some thiHJ of the Crimc--More
 Than SEs InsolVed.

Milan, June 13.-Urged on by Amer ican Consul Charles McCaughy, who is acting under the direct order of the United States state department, the best detectives of Italy are searching the country for Porter Charlton, hus band of Mary t-Castle-C Charlton the American woman, who was beaten unconscious, jammed into a trunk while still alive and thrown into Lake Como to die.
 While the authorities believe if Charlton is still alive, he can solve the entire mystery surrounding the death of his bride, the strongest the ory is that he was killed by the same person or persons who murdered Mrs. Charlton.
 While some of the nations best de- teCtiyes were working along the line of the theory that insane jealousy, on the part of one of the beautiful wom- ans former admirers, was responsible for her death, and possibly that ot her husband, others were delving deep in}l what they believed to be ] plot to kill and rob American women in Italy
 In connection with the latter the. ory, they asserted the outcome of ths case will throw some light on the death of Estelle Reid, the American girl who was found dead in the Bay of Naples.
 
 Subjected to Third Degree.
 Constantine Ispolatoff, the Russian, arrested within a few hours after the discovery of the body, was subjected 10 the third degree" After hours of questioning, there was wrung from him statement which further cloud. ed the case, but which was regarded as significant by the supporters of the jealousy theory He asserted the mur. dered woman was the aunt of Porter Charlton.
 The main questioning of the detect. ives was 10 bring forth information regarding the whereabouts of Porter Charlton. The Russian ex-postal off cial maintained cool attitude 'iiiVuSil tilS Oiu dSStl LlUS ne hn'tN nothing of the possibility of Charl- tons having been seen with two suit cases in Como, as has been said hy several trades people who knew the Americans.
 Cernobbio Base of Police Operations.
 Cernobbio the nearest town of i'm. portance to the scene of the crime, IS the base of operations of the police, but the investigation is really being conducted by Milan authorities.
 While it has been made almost cer- tain the body was thrown into the water but a few hours before the grewsome trunk was caught in the nets of the Maltrasio fisherman, the police assert the crime bore every in dicaton of having been committed with the utmost haste.
 That there was more than one per son involved in 1t is shown beyond doubt, they say, by the fact one man alone could not have dragged the trunk from the villa to the shore, loaded it on small boat, or thrown 1t into the water without capsizing the craft

producers keep ahead of the game, ap-
parently regardless of price.
Copper is selling at around - cents
a pound and buyers are pursuing the
and-to-mouth policy, refusing to make
long time contracts except at concessions
which put all the carrying charges on
the seller--and then some.
The danger point in this situation Is
the liability of open war between the
Amalgamated Cole-Ryan combination on
the one side and the independent pro-
federation of interests represents proba-
bly, one-half of the total production
and 1t has been struggling with might
and main to induce all the big consumers
to enter into an arrangement for cut
ting down production
Enough OF the independents have held
out to block the play and the suicidal
programme continues of over-producing
and adding to an already unwieldy sur
plus. The warehouses of the old world
are believed to be filled up to the roofs
with American copper sent over on con-
signment and that there is a larger ac-
tual stock of copper above ground than
apears in the official statistics.
The Amalgamated crowd has been hold
ing the umbrella over the copper trade
and has endeavored to keep up the prices
have been cutting under the Amalga-
noted figure and Supplying the demand.
Many Of them can afford to do this
because the cost of production is below
that of majority of the mines owned
aud controlled by the big Standard Oil
combination. The situation is none the
less aggravating and blood raw hints
are given out that Messrs Rockefeller,
Ryan and associates will presently let
hA n we n nj civ in
dependents such a battle as they never
dreamed of. The contention is that in
an endurance fight, which must result
in the survival of the fittest, they can
out last all but two or three of the big
independents and starve the rest into
subsection or acouiescence. Such a war
fare would be demoralizing and would
smash copper share all to pieces.
1t Is a we'll defined fear of this catas-
trophe which is the one really important
bearish factor in the stock market at this
writing Such a war would inevitably be
followed by such raiding and break
Ing of the copper shares that the rest
of the market could not but sympathize.
Eventually. the general list would break
away from the copper division but be-
fore that could happen there might be
semi-demoralizaton In some of the spec
ulative issues and severe losses inflicted.
An amusing feature of the crusade for
the restoration of business confidence Is
the attempt which Is being made to show
that the decline in stock prices during
the last few months is due to the un-
worthy efforts of New York correspon-
dents OF foreign newspapers to misrepre-
sent conditions In America and to fright
en- away foreign investors No doubt the
correspondents have been sending bearish
stuff to their newspapers but 1t Is also
no doubt the case that they drew their
inspiration from the columns of the local
/ press.

newspapers have been publishing the

healthy land speculation has been groos-
ly exaggerated. The advance which has
taken place in the market price of farm
lands is being stoutly defended by able
men who insist that the rise in values
is entirely legitimate and simply reflects
the enhanced earning power of that kind
of property. Also that this is proof of
the increased wealth of the farming
population and a desire to reinvest sur
plus earrings in more land, an entirely
legitimate line Of expansion and spirit of
enterprise. This kind of talk is enforcing
itself upon the attention of Wall street
and Is producing an effect.
Copper continues to be the sore spot In
the general business and speculative Sit
uaton. Miners are producing the metal
faster than it can be consumed at home
or imported and the price remains weak
with buyers holding off for still better
figures Official statistics show the pro-
duction in the United States during the
first six months of the calendar year to
have been 717,o0Oo00 pounds while the de-
liveries were 690,00000O pounds. Both these

Daring Deeds Of Mosby, Confederate Raider


The recent dismissal of Colonel John
S. Mosby, the famous Southern caval-
ny, leader of the Civil War, from his
position of attorney in the Department
of Justice at Washington removes
from public life one of the most pic
turesque of the characters that figured
prominently in that great struggle.
Though still hale in mind and body,
he has lived, during his 70-odd years,
through more than the ordinary man
would experience in the lifetime of
Methuselah
lie has fought in war whose big
ness made ambition virtue; he has
figured in political struggles beside
which the contests of today were
mere bagatelle; struggles in those
days of reconstruction in the South
when politics was not merely political
but social, professional and religious
as well, and men had to back up their
convictions on the dueling ground.
He has fought corrupt gang of Off
Gals il the American Consular service
in farrell Asia, and purged the consul
late9 of their corruption from Vladi-
vostok to Alden. And in later years he
has warred so fiercely upon the robber
cate barons of the West that even
his superior officers at Washington
had to repeatedly caution him about
needlessly exposing his life to their
vengeance. Between whites he has
written military works, read Byron,
Tom Moore and the Greek tragedies
and played with his grandchildren.
EARLY CAREER PLACID.
His early life did not foreshadow
the checkered career that would be
his. Indeed, up to the outbreak of the
Civil War none could have led a more
peaceful and simple existence.

Mosby did so and found nothing. As
he started to turn his horses head and
ride back, his military genius sprang
into Icing, I'll ride around until l

forthwith he started to scout in the
rear Of a hostile army of 100000 men.
Eight miles he rode, until he was
full in the rear of that vast host-1OO,-

camp.

lie returned to General Stuart's
headquarters, told him of his adven-
ture and then suggested that it would
be a staggering blow to Mcclellan and
the North if that proud army were
raided around by a squadron of his
troopers. Stuart leaped from the grassy
lawn on which he had been lying when
Mosby told his tale.
Come inside and write out what
you nave just told me- he said to Mos
