they show no fear that he will outfly
them in this country.

gold cup.
There is one thing about It." said a
prominent aviator today, "Mr. Rolls

mothers of the land have in charge the
conservation and development of the
most precious of our natural resources. y

of motor nerves. brain centers and the

INSURGENT MOVEMENT IS
ON WANE, SAYS SHERMAN
Vice President Declares Election
Results Show Decrease
in Their Activity

UTICA, n. Y, June 12.-"I believe
the insurgent movement, so called, Is
subsiding," said Vice President James
S. Sherman, who came home yester-
day to attend dhe wedding of his niece.
1--WE do not notice the change so
much in Washington, where the insur-
gents are still insurging, despite the
assertions that they are standing by
the president, but from my obserVa-
tions on my recent western trip am
convinced that the movement is on
the Wane.
Il rather expected to find in, Wis
consin a predominant feeling of in
surgency. because most of the Repub-
lican representatives from that state
in congress have been prominent in
that movement. To my sprprise, l
found substantially no such sentiment.
Il have twice before within few
weeks. been in the middle west and
have found the sentiment decidedly in
favor of continuance of the protect
i've policy. The outcome in Iowa,
where the regulars were successful in
every district in the state where there
was a contest. save one, successful in
choosing a state committee the ma
ioritv of whom are regulars, was
strongly indicative of continued belief
i'm Republican poliices."

Think CHARLTON
SLAIN WITH WIFE
Opinion Growing That Como Lake
Tragedy Is a Double
Murder
ITALIAN POLICE ARE BAFFLED
Fail to Establish That Husband
Was Seen After Crime
Was Committed
ITALIAN POLICE ARE BAFFLED
rAssocIatea press1

COMO, Italy, June 12.-The police to-
day seem no nearer a solution of the
murder of Mrs. Porter Charlton of
New York than they were on the day
the body was found.
Searching parties have dragged the
lake. hoping, perhaps, the body of the
woman's husband might be recovered
or at least something in connection
with the crime, but so far searchers
have labored in vain.
The authorities, as far as they have
disclosed, have no information about
the missing Charlton, and whether he
IS dead or alive is n matter of coniec-
ture.
The opinion is growing that a double
murder has been committed. This is
the view held by the American consul
at Milan, Charles NJ. Caukhy, who is
investigating the case. 1t is pointed
out that the amount of blood on the
mattress, sheets and curtains of the
bedroom in the villa occupied by Mr.
and Mrs. Charlton could not possibly
come from the wounds of the woman
Several persons, however, say they
saw Charlton after the date of the
crime at Motrasio, and later at Como
These statements are controYerted
by the Investigations of the police,
who have found the witnesses have
been unable to fix dates definitely
The police have in their possession
a letter written by Mrs. Charlton to
her former husband, Neville Castle,
which had not been mailed, asking him
to return her letters and photographs,
as. she wished to show them to Charl-
ton to relieve his mind concerning that
distant love episode. They have con-
strued this letter as evidence Charlton
was Jealous, and indeed, there are some
who say he had on various occasions
shown great jealousy.

CRASHING EARTH
MISSES TROLLEY
Dirt Caves from Under Big Room
ing House at First and
Hill Streets
TWENTY-FIVE TONS IN MASS
Occupants of House and Car
Have Narrow Escape
from Slide

Endangaring the lives Of several
dozen tenants and a score or more
of passengers in an inbound Holly
wood car. twenty-five tons of earth, a
part of the ground on which the High
land Villa rooming house. situated at
the northwest corner of First and Hill
street, slid onto the tracks of the Los
Angeles-Pacific Railway company at
the first street entrance to the Hill
street tunnel at 11:15 o'clock yester-
day morning.
The landslide occurred at the north
east corner of the building, leaving a
part of the building. which is frail
frame structure of the old California
type, without support and placing the
entire structure in a precarious po-
sitiOn.
CRASHING EARTH STOPS CAR
Just as the dirt, rocks and bricks
crashed down an inbound Hollywood
car emerged from the tunnel Only
the quick work of the motorman in
applying the brakes saved the passen-
gers from being crushed to death by
the falling earth. The car was brought
to a standstill within five feet Of the
dirt
At the time the tunnel was construct
ed through the hill to make a short
route to Hollywood the property upon
which the Highland Villa is situated
was purchased by the Los Angeles
Railway company The emhankment
upon which the house was built was
cut away for the tunnel. leaving an
almost perpendicular embankment on
the east and south sides about thirty
feet high. The building is three
story frame structure of about ninety
housekeeping rooms, with porch on
each floor surrounding the entire
building.
The hill is of stratified shale and
the fact that a retaining wall was not
built at the time the earth was re-
moved for the construction of the tun-
mel has rendered the building unsafe.
That the entire building would slide
into the street has often been predict
ed and it was thought yesterday that
the prediction would become a reality
RUSH FROM ROOMS
When the landslide occurred tenants
were to be seen rushing from their
rooms in the house to the porches
Several tenants threatened to move,
while others sat about the Verandas
seeming to enjoy the cool air, while
those below expressed fear for their
safety
Traffic over the Hollywood and Cole
grove lines was blockaded for some
time. Service was finally installed
through the tunnel which transferred
at each end. Late in the afternoon
the earth was shoveled off the tracks
and the regular service resumed.
Passengers on the Los Angeles-Pa-
cifics northbound cars for the beach
and intermediate points were at first
forced to alight at First and Hill
streets and walk to the Hill street sta
tion. because no transfers were given.
Patrons protested vehemently at the
four block walk in the hot sun and
finally a service with transfers at each
end of the tunnel was established. Late
in the afternoon the tracks We're
cleared and the through Hollywood,
ColeCrove and beach service was re-
sumed.

STARR BACK
FROM TOUR OF WORLD
Man Who Predicted Death of
Roosevelt in Jungle Lands
in New York

NEW YORK, June 12.-Prof. Fred
erick A. Starr, who has the chair of
anthropology in the University of Chi
cago, returned today from a trip
around the world, not far ahead of
Theodore Roosevelt, who, he predicted,
would never live to see civilization
again if he dared the interior jungles
of Africl.
When reminded of his prediction Pro-
fessor Starr replied that Roosevelt had
chosen a less dangerous path than the
one originally announced, thus avoid
ing the poison laden swamps SO deadly
to the white man.
In Japan Professor Starr dressed and
lived as a Japanese studying the cus-i
toms and religion of the people.
II believe" he said, that there will
be a reaction in Japan against thel
customs of the occident. Those adopt
ed customs found to be unsuited to'
the country are being cast off already.
American trade will never be a serl-
Gus factor in the Orient, because the
japanese and Chinese are so apt TO-.
copy our methods and our products"
