ABOUT JUNGLE JOE''
Insurgents Confer on the Wisdom
Of Plan to Depose
Speaker.

The republican insurgents Of the House,
about two dozen in number. are in con-
ferences this afternoon trying to decide
whether or not they will make an effort
to depose Speaker Cannon before the end
of the present session.
Whether or not they decide to go this
far. all indications are that next Tues
day will be a field day in the House.
At that time Representative Hamilton
Fish of New York will call up his in
surgent resolution proposing to limit a
time in which a committee of the body
may consider a bill without acting upon
It,
He will move that the committee on
rules be discharged from further con-
sideration Of THIS proposed amendment to
the rules, and that it be taken up in the
House.
Representative Sherley OF Kentucky
may also call up on that day his propo-
sition to amend the rules in an importa mt
particular.
1t is understood that Mr.. Cannon be-
lieves that should the Fish resolution
be adopted it would leave the Speaker
of the House in the position Of a mere
presiding oflcer and would make it i'm
possible for legislation to be enacted
in a reasonable, speedy and efficient
manner.

to Grand Jury.

Robert Dodson and Maggie Brooks. both
colored. were committed to Jail today in
default of bail on the chlrge of arson.
Dodson was arrested about half-past 3
clock this morning near his father-in-
laws home. where Policemen Grant and
Green had extinguished a blaze in the
vestibuIe a short time before.
Half a dozen witnesses swore that Dod-
son yesterday had a row with his wife,
from whom he is separated, and became
SO threatening that she appealed to the
police. Later Dodson bought half gal
lon of gasoline and. going to the home Of
his father-in-law, Frank Briscoe of $50

that his manner had been sulky. dis
courteous, even violent toward ner.
This is the theory of the italian ofhcials
and detectives who. as In all such mat
tiers. are profoundly secretive.
The other theory is that third per
son. the Russian adventurer. 1spolaton,
killed both Mr.. and Mrs. Charlton.
Among the letters in the trunks was
one to Mrs Charlton from an Amer
lean insurance man. which onered TO
open an account for her In Brooklyn
dry goods store. 1t was addressed TO
Mrs w. c. Belts; the initials w G.

gave up.
The police have recovered two let
tiers which Charlton addressed to 1spo-
latoff: one was mailed without stamp
and was recovered in the post once.
Leishman Sees Guglia.
Count Guglia was Closeted Tor TWO
hours Yesterday with the American am
bassador 1t is rumored that the count
theory of the crime was directly opposite
to that which Mr.. Leishman had FORMED.
The ambassador has assumed apparent
" that Porter Charlton. the anemic
young husband OF the dead woman. was
murdered by Ispolatoff. the Russian
Caughy. consul at Como, also planted
himself upon this theory.
Count Guglia. when he visited AM
bassador Leishman. told the ambassador,
1t is believed. that there was every rea-
son to suspect that Porter Charlton was
alive.
Case Bought by Russian.
The physician who helped to make the
nutopsy and who talked to the CORE
snondent insists that Mrs. Charlton's
health was not perfect: neither is 1spol-

toff is suffering from the same temporary

Correspondents See Villa.
The authorities permitted the newspaper
correspondents last night to examine the
villa at Moltrasio.
Many letters were found in the villa
from Mrs Chartons brother. Capt. Scott.
L s. A. and also manuscripts of poems
and plays by Mrs. Charlton.
There were indications that one man
had carried the trunk containing the
body down the villa staircase and had
found it heavy, as there were dents In
the walls.
Minute examination shows traces of
blood on the stairs. Plainly an attempt
had been made to wash out some of these
stains.
The Charltons brought three trunks and
a valse to the villa two trunks are still
there. The third contained Mrs. Charl-
tons body: there is valise in the villa.
Among the letters found was fervid
love missive from New York signed
"Fred." A letter Mrs Charlton wrote to
her first husband. Castle, had been torn
and stitched together.

Self Defense-WidoW of
Thompson Heard.

MANASSAS. Va. June 15.-Prof. ]. D.
Harris, formerly principal Of the War
renton High School. took the stand in
his own behalf this morning at his
trial for the murder Of w. A. Thomp-
son. associate editor Of the Warrenton
,Virginian, who was shot on the streets
of Warrenton April "a. 1909, and testi-
fed that he fired the fatal shot in self
defense. Mrs Thompson. widow of the
murdered man, was the last witness
for the commonwealth, which rested
its case this morning.
The prosecution. having announced yes
terday that 1t had finished it's case in
chief. except that 1t reserved the right to
call the widow of the dead man this
morning, a large crowd OF persons was
on hand when court opened today.
Mrs. Thompson told how her husband
had left his home at 8 o'clock on the
morning Of the fatal day and said she
saw him no more until after he had been
shot.
Used Abusive Language.
Miss Walter and Miss Strother both
testified that abusive language had been
used by Mr. Thompson to Harris at the
railway station on the day OF the tragedy.
Miss Strother related a conversation
which she had had with Harris that day at
the gate of her home after returning from
the depot. She quoted Harris as having
said that man who would use sucn
language in the presence of ladies ought
to be shot.
There was stir throughout the court
room when the counsel for the defense
called Prof Harris to the stand to tes-
tlfv IN his behalf The M
was calm and composed, and he told in a
clear voice Of the shooting. His testi-
mony was essentially the same as had
been given by other witnesses who saw
the enactment of the tragedy.
During his direct examination, r. E.
Byrd, speaker of the house Of delegates
and one of the defendants counsel,
asked:
Why did you shoot Mr.. Thompson
Replying, Prof. Harris said: ITO pro-
tect my life. He had hold Of me and
was beating me. and 1 could not get
away from him.
