CHlRLT0N'S MOTHER TALKS
Received Letter from Son Tell
ing of Visit in Italy.
IBy Telegraph TO The Tribune.


Baltimore. June 10.-PorteT Charlton. the
missing husband OF the murdered woman
whose body was found in trunk near
Lake Como Italy. IS the son Of Judge Paul
Charlton, of Washington. who is connected
with the legal section OF the Department
of Insular Affairs The judges wife is the
daughter of Or. Alfred Wanstall. Of Balti-
more Mrs. Charlton. who had just re
turned from Atlantic City, was seen al
her fathers home tonight. her husband
having preceded her TO their home in wash
ioEton.
The news that the woman found in the
trunk was Mrs. Porter Charlton came as
= complete surprise TO both Mrs. Wanstan
and Mrs. Charlton, and the latter was re-
luctsnt 10 believe that 1t was true.
Porter married against the wishes of his
father" said Mrs. Charlton. and We Were
deeply grieved TO hear of il. He had only
known aErs1 Castle for about a month and
it was 8 case Of love al first sights He
married without telling Us anything about
II and left for Europe TO accept a position
with the Spier Bank at, Hamburg. He
intended 10 go there in September and was
slowly journeying through Italy and Swift
zerland on his honeymoon. He has only
been married two months.
T cannot realize that anything has hap
rened 70 Porter's wife. for We only got a
letter from them last week al Atlantic
city It was full Of beautiful description.
not OF the scenery. but OF his wife. with
whom ne is deeply infatuated. From tie
fact that ne is missing from the hotel I
can only believe that he has met with some
foul play.
Porter was only boy OF twenty-one
Years and his wife was considerably older.
We have never seen her. but Porter's de-
scriptions were such as 10 lead Us TO be
liove that she was very charming woman
Nothing could be more inconsistent both
with Porter's disposition and his affection
for his wife than TO suppose that the fact
that he is missing from the villa where
hey were staying is evidence to show that
she might have met with death at his
hands.
I do not know Of any one who could
. have had any animus or i'll feeling against
either OF them. and am at a loss TO &C
count for the tragedy. The unpleasantness
which she had with Mr. Craig. the lawyer,
was. 7 think. due 10 d temporary derange-
nlent of her mind. and after the fray,
which was a harmless affair. she was tenn
porarily placed in an asylum Our objec-
lion TO the marriage came from this fact.

Cobb Bill Merited Support.

When the responsible representatives OF
my own party in the Senate came TO me. af-
ter the defeat of the Hinman-Gre bill. in
dicating desire 10 adopt a satisfactory
plan of less extended application. I felt that
II would be taking very grave response
bility TO say that because I could not see
the plan of the Hinman-Green bill applied
at once in its full scope I should be unwiII-
ing to have it put in force at all. On the
contrary. L believe that while the adoption
of the plan with regard TO smaller constitu-
encies would not be test with respect TO
the state as whole, still that adoption, Sc
curing the election of an entire legislature
under its provisions, would unquestionably
lead to its extension. That was. and is, my
confidence in the merits of the plan.
IF the adoption of this method of direct
nominations could not be had with respect
to officers elected by the state at large. then
certainly the rext best thing was TO secure
a plan of the same character as broadly ap-
plicable as possible, and to confide Its fut-
ure extension to the action of the legislat
ure selected by the new method.
'"rhe most important consideration was
that the plan should be structurally sound :;
that the foundations should be well laid !;
that what was done should be rightly done
and should be real and not a pretended
reform.
THE so-called Cobb bill,' reported by
the Committee on the Judiciary in the Sem
ate in the closing days OF the session, was
In effect the Hinman-Greep bill applied 10
party candidates for Congress, for the Sen
ate and Assembly. and for county offices
Except in greater New York at the time
of a mayoraity election). 1t provided that
these candidates should be chosen at the
primary by direct vote OF the party mem-
bers according 70 the method proposed by
The Hinman-Green BILL and the official
urinary ballot was of the sort provided for
in that bill.
Under this bill, therefore, We should have
secured the nomination by the new method
OF a great variety of officers; In fact. of all
the important officers to be chosen at the
next election save the seven officers elected
by the state at large judges and city Off
GERS. AS TO the latter the convention sys-
TEN was retained with additional safeguards
and with provision for the direct election

Too Quick for Officer.

AS Armstrong and his prisoner reached
the main stairway, in full view of the
dining room, Armstrong turned for an
instant and beckoned to Millmore, who
was still at the front entrance, to follow
him in. Short as was tse time in which
Armstrong had his back to the desperate
man. Buisset. with a movement quick
as a cats, drew from a pocket re-
yolver and placed the muzzle against his
right temple Just as BuiSset pulled the
trigger. sending bullet into his brain,
Armstrong turned around and was met
by the flash OF the burning powder and
the smoke from the discharged weapon.
So near had been the bullet 10 Arm
strong's own head that his face was
singed by the powder.
The women guests in the dining room
became hysterical and rushed to the cor
ridor. Several tainted. Armstrong and
Millmore carried Buisset into d small
room off the lobby. He was then hurried
to St Vincent's-
Next the detectives made a search OF
Buisset's room and found handbook OF
the Savoy Trust Company showing that
he had deposited $4,000 there yesterday
They also found a check book, a stub
from which showed that $4,000 had been
drawn to.the order of J. H. Freyman, the
general United States agent for several
Swiss chocolate dealers in this city. II
was said by the police that this check

sented an investment by Buisset.
There was a passport signed by the
Chief of Police of Brussels saying that

Favors Short Ballot.
Tor Hughes said in part:

There are some who favor what is
called the short ballot'-that IS. a reduc-
tion in the number of elective officers. The
object is TO concentrate responsibility and
to focus the attention OF the electorate
upon the choice of few candidates. With
this ] am In hearty sympathy. But 20 at
tain 1t there must be amendments OF the
constitution. To postpone dealing with
our present conditions until such radical
changes can be brought about would be. in
my Judgment, absolute folly, Nothing could
better suit those who profit by our present
system than to turn the discussion away
from it's defects to the question of eonsti-
tutional reconstruction in all indefinite fut-
ure. BY all means encourage the demand
for short ballot, but in the mean time let
US give needed attention 20 the present exi-
gency. The more elective officers We havo

Berlin, May 11.-Mr Roosevelt and
Emperor William had their first long
conversation yesterday after luncheon
at Pottsdam. They talked over an

The emperor's welcome was ex-
ceedingly cordial Wearing a white
and gold uniform of Garde Du Corps,
with brazen helmet surmounted by sill

the entrance of the new palace on
the arrival of the carriages which
brought the Roosevelt party to the
palace gates. The kaiser advanced
quickly and shook hands warmly with
each. Later he presented the guests
to the empress, and the entire party
sat down to luncheon.
A regrettable incident occurred on
the arrival of the party at Berlin
from Stockholm yesterday morning,
when the royal carriages failed to
reach the station in time, and Ambas-
sador Hill was missing from among
