HoBoKEN, N j., June 24.-With
the father, former friends are rallying

make a fight for the life of Porter
Charlton, confessed wife murderer.
Powerful lawyers will be retained to
contend that Charlton was insane
when he committed the crime. Judge
Charlton, Of washington, the father,
Immediately on reaching here retain;
ed former State Senator William D.
Edwards, to represent the youth while
in the Jersey jail. Edwards ordered
.Charlton to talk to no one. Alienists
WIN be engaged to examine yester::
days confession to be pleaded as in
sanity evidence. Judge Charlton has
two letters written byhls son in Italy
which he says are incollerent and pc.
culiar. Lawyers acquainted with Ital-
ian procedure say IT will probably be
impossible to convict Charlton Of any:
thing but manslapghter punishable by
six years imprisonment. Charlton
spent a quiet night with q guard at y
the cell door. Capt. Henry H. Scott,
brother Of the dead woman, is prepar,
ing to aid the authorities to prosecute
Charlton. 4.
tCharlton's preliminary examination
was adjourned till Tuesday by Record;

attorneys asked for time to familiarize
themselves with the case. McGovern
ordered Charlton taken from police
headquarters to the county jail.
At noon Charlton was transferred to

H0RSEMEN PLEASED WITH
RULES BARRING HOPPLES

Months before the new rule relating
to the adjustment of hopples in har-
ness racing will be i'm even limited
operation and almost simultaneous
with the announcement of its enact
ment the periodicals of the trotting
turf are asking whether the rule will
ever become effective when it begins
to bar hopples on horses of all ages.
Doubts are expressed as to the power
of the National Trotting association
to enforce the rule without losing a
large number of its members among
the fair associations and half-mile
tracks, and the impression seems to
be general that as between the two
horns Of the dilemma the central or
ganization will not hesitate to choose
whatever course will keep its MEM
bership roll intact.
All horsemen having the elevation

effort of the National Trotting assoc

justice to ''vested interests" while to

which now threatens to make trouble
when it comes TO the final enforcement
of the new rule. Unless the National

its recent action by something like a
rule of this kind split will not be sur
prising.
