A Mans Coat is Brought Up From

Como, Italy, June lathe develop
ment in the mystery of the murder of
Mrs. Porter Charlton have been few.
The graphing irons which have been

that a man disguised as a priest, who
1t Is thought, might be Charlton, was
seen making his way across the Swiss

WIRELESS CHIEFS ARRESTED
BROADWAY OFFICES RAlpED az
v. s. PosToFFlcE INSPECTORS.
Officers Are Accused Of Manipulation
. of the Prices of
Shares.

New York, June 16.-United States
postoffice inspectors raided the Broad.
way offices of the United Wireless
Telegraph company and caused the
arrest of Christopher G. Wilson, presi.
dent of the company: Samuel S. Bo.
CART, first vice president, and William
w. Tompkins, president of the New
York selling agency, which officers of
the wireless company say was for
merly their fiscal agent, but has ceased
to represent them.
Chief Inspector Mayer subsequently
gave out q long formal statement in
which he charges that, although the
company has been running at loss
the price of its shares has seen ad.
vanced by manipulation to fictitious
values and that individual officers of
the company have sold out their stock
to the general public at a profit esti.
mated in one instance at between five
and ten millions, with other instances
in proportion.
Wilson was released on $4,000 bail
and Bogart on $4,000 bail for appear
ance on July IL, when a further hear
ing will be held before federal com.
mission Thompson could not find the
$4,000 bail required and spent tbo
night in the Tombs
The complaint on which the war
rants were issued is drawn under the
federal criminal code on information
of Carter B. Keene, postoffice inspec-
tor.
There are $4,000 shareholders of
the company throughout the country -
Inspector Mayer: said in his statement,
many of whom have placed their saw
ings in the stock of the company
through false representations made by
its officers. The real assets of the
company, consisting Of land stations,
patents, manufacturing plants and real
estate of all kinds appear to be worth
at conservative estimate, 100000 or
an actual worth of two cents 4 share
at par value"
Two million shares have been issued
at a par value Of $40 a share, but the
stock recently has been put up to $50
share.
"Thus," the inspector argues in his
statement, "by taking the last amount
quoted, 100000 ,,of actual assets, at
$50 share, thee stock is really worth
as 100000 is TO $1,O0O,0OO, 900, or
1904 a SHARE"

WORLD WIDE MISSIONS.
Commissions Report At Edinburgh
Sounds Warning Note.

Edinburgh, June 16.-The delegates
to the world missionary conference
have gotten down to the real work of
the international meeting. The ses-
sions proper opened with much en-
thusiasm. Representatives of mission
airy work among non-Christian peoples
everywhere were present.
A feature was the presentation by
John R. Mott, Of New York, the chair
man, of the report of the commission
on Carrying the Gospel To All the
Non Christian World"
Report Of Commission.
A warning to the Christian churches
of the world that decisive hour for
missions had come was given in the
report Of the commission.
The commission declares opportuni-
ties which have been neglected in the
past are the reproach of the church.
The church in Christian lands, says
the report, needs energizing that it
may carry on the work. The commits
sion urged that an international COM
mittee be formed and that a great
mOVSuSAC " Cdlly OuTlSLAdlllLy luLO
every region with increased force be
undertaken. ... .
Turning its attention to fields on
which the church should concentrate
attention and effort, the commission
reports that in China there is an
unique opportunity fraught with far
reaching issues for the future of China
and of all Christendom. The advance
of Islam in Equatorial Africa presents
the question, the report says, whether
the dark content shall become Mo-
hammedan or Christian. India and the
Mohammedan world as whole, par.
ticularly Turkey and Persia, are point
ed out as other large fields for effort
'The Jewish people," the csmmis-
sioner says, "have peculiar claim
upon the missionary activities of the
Christian church. Christianity is theirs
pre-eminently by right of Inheritance
The church is under special obligation
to present Christ to the Jew"

In Short Time.

New York, June 14.-Charles K.
Hamilton arose in his aeroplane from
Governors Island and sped without
break SO miles to Philadelphia in
remarkable crosscountry fight under
the auspices of the New York Times
and the Philadelphia Public Ledger
He made the trip in one hour and 81
minutes, leaving Governors Island at
1875 and landing at Philadelphia at
1926. =
Alighting at Aviation Field, he de.
livered letters from Governor Hughes
and Mayor Gaynor to Governor Stuart
and Mayor Reyburn, accepted mes
sages of acknowledgment from them
to bear in return and started for New
York again with only brief intermis-
sion for food, fuel and oil.
He had flown approximately 20
miles of his return journey when q
sluggish motor drove him to descend
In a swamp near South Amboy at 1855
p. m. The propeller was broken there
In landing. but after repairs had been
made Hamilton resumed his fight at
500 and landed at Governors Island
at $3.50. Thus the return trip was
made in one hour and 36 minutes at
an estimated average speed of $3.50
miles an hour, which broke the record
made by Curtiss in his fight from All
bany to New York. u
That Hamilton did not make the
return trip as easily as the outgoing
trip, was due only to an commission Of
haste. In his hurry to get away, he
neglected to clean his spark plugs 81
they fouled, the engine baked and he
had to come down on the banks of the
Raritan river, two miles above South
Amboy. !,
