Especial Dispatch 10 The CALI

lOPeCidL DtSPQtCH 10 ne (du
WASHINGTON. June 12.-The days
of service of WhiteIaw Reid as ambas-
sador to the court of ST James are
numbered. This information. learned
tonight. comes from source in pos
session of both the American and Brit
ish sides of the case.
The informant declares that King
George and Reid, while on cordial
terms. are not close to the degree of
official intimacy expected between the
king and an ambassador. In support
of this it is pointed out that all court
functions given by the late King Ed
ward Ambassador Reid was seldom in
the group that surrounded the then
Prince of Wales.
AS a result of the new kings wishes.
the state department has found it
necessary to bring to the president S
attention the imperative need of a
change before tn ecIose of the first
period of mourning in November.
1t has been sal dthat the reason
President Taft has so long delayed
making change is his desire to wait
until after the elections. so as to see
who will be frozen out in the scufie.
The understanding is that Charles W.
Fairbanks. former vice president. will
see his way clear to accept the ambas-
sadorship, which Indirectly has been Of
fered to him. Secretary Knox is in
favor of Fairbanks, and so is Senator
Root of New York

MRS. TAFT WAS NOT
ON LAKE STEAMER
Sleuths Seek Impersonator of
Presidents Wife and Find
Report Was False
Especial Dispotch TO The CALI


AsHTABULA, O., June 12.-An Ash
tabula man who owns an automobile
and frequently takes out passengers
for hire has been the cause of a great
deal of worry to John L. Wilkie, chief
of the United States secret service, and
his merry men.
The auto owner also has caused
more than a passing furry at the
White House in Washington, for he
was responsible for report that
Mrs. William H. Taft had embarked
here on the freighter James Laughlin
for trip to Duluth He told news
paper correspondents that he had
driven Mrs. Taft and two other women
from the depot to the steamer.
AS Mrs Taft was in Washington the
report led to the inference on the part
of the secret service men that some
one was impersonating the president S
wife. Chief wilkie Immediately got
busy and today the true facts in the
case came out.
It seems that the women who en-
barked on the Laughlin were Mrs.
George Laughlin of Pittsburg and Mrs.
Anderson of Cincinnati, both of whom
are sisters of Mrs. Taft Another
woman was with them and the auto
owner jumped to the conclusion that
she was Mrs. Taft. AS soon as the
mistake was traced to its proper
source all anxiety was at an end.

ONE MAN KILLED IN
WAR IN MINING CAMP
Pitched aBttIe Fought and Sew.
eraI Persons Wounded

TRINIDAD. June IA pitched battle
broke out from long smouldering dis
cord between natives and American
born Mexicans at Bowen, camp of the
Victor American Fuel company, six
miles from here, today.
One man was killed, one fatally
wounded and four others are known
to have been wounded. and it is be-
lieved that at least a score of wounded
are being cared for secretly.
Bitterness between the factions arose
mainly from the belief of the American
born that the native Mexicans domi-
neered about the plant. In addition to
this. it is said. there was quarrel over
domestic affairs.

Police Accuse Husband

The Italian police still assert Charl-

was only an accomplice of the jealous
husband.
The police late yesterday were posi-
tive they had information that the day
after the murder was committed
Charlton was at Como and bought or
inquired about a ticket to Lucerne.
Acting upon this information. the line
of inquiry was directed along the st.
Gothard railroad. If Charlton reached
Lucerne he is beyound the Jurisdiction
of the Italian authorities and a dozen
roads through Germany, through Al
SAGE or into France were open for his
escape.
In Moltrasio the fishermen and others
say that the couple always were seen
together. That they drank a great deal
is an undisputed fact. That they quar-
relied is another. and letters found in
the house indicate that the man was

that a terrific fight had taken place.
And what is considered the most inn
portant of all. there was evidence that
robbery had been committed.
Jewelry Missing
Mrs. Charlton was known to have had
valuable -jewelry@ and since none of it
has been found on the body of the
woman, and the jewel boxes in her
room were empty. it is regarded as
certain that robbery was at least one
are quite certain that the woman's
skull was crushed by blows from a
steel glove and they assert that this
instrument was loaned to the Russian
suspect, Ispolatoff. by a chemist on
the day before the murder
In tthe room at the villa also was
found q letter purporting to have been
written to the Russian by Charlton on
June 6. In this letter Charlton said
that he and his wife were about to
leave for the Riviera, as his wife was
not well.
The American consul is inclined to
the belief that both man and wife were
murdered and in a telegram to Wash
ington he ascribes the reasons for his
belief:
In the first place, Charlton would not
have committed robbery.
Secondly 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.
Thirdly. Charlton had made no effort
to conceal the fact that he had occu-
pied the house and made the question
of his identity a certainty by the stuff
he left behind in the way of photo
