Associated Charities In Need Of More
 Money and New President

A well attended and quite impor- tant meeting of the Associated Chari- ties was held yesterday afternoon in the board of trade room. It was called primarily to confer over the matter of completing the board of managers and the providing of ways and means for meeting the obligations of the or ganiZatiOn. Also. F. c. Dezendorf, the president availed himself of the op- portunity for rendering his resigna- tiOn on account of his recent transfer to another field of activity in the land office making the step necessary
 Concerning the matter of ways and means for discharging the obligations of the Associated Charities, a com mittee was appointed consisting of s. Oberfelder, B. A. Fowler and J. F. Cleaveland, to devise a plan of se- curing the necessary funds MT. De- zendorfs resignation was accepted with regret and B. A. Fowler was urged to accept the presidency again He declined, however, giving as a reason the volume of business that now cOnfronts him as president of the Y. NJ. C. A, a similar public work that just now demands a great deal of attention.
 Frank DeSouza was then nominated for the office, but he in turn declined. saying that his private duties were too eXacting to give the office the attention it deserves.
 The question of securing a presi- dent was then left in the hands of a committee consisting of Frank De- Souza, Eugene Brady O'Neill and Harry Friedman.
 Reports of the work of the Asso- ciated Charities for the months of April and May were read by the su- perintendent, Miss Gilchrist

M'MURRAY'S RECORD.

McAllister, okla, June 24.-The firm of McMurray, Mansfield and Cornish of which J. F. McMurray was a member, was dissolved about year ago. Since that time McMurray has devoted him self largely to Indian law practice. He was a candidate for delegate to the last republican national convention, but was defeated at the state cOnven- ton.
 During the constitutional convention a commission was appointed by w. H. Murray, president of the convention, with authority to purchase segregated coal lands by the state. The hearing continued for several times, and at that time there were informal offers of $10,000,000 for the lands.
 About a year ago the Choctaw coun- cil, presided over by Green McCurtain, chief of the Choctaws. adopted a reso- lutiOn offering to sell the tribal prop crty which consisted in part of coal lands, to the government for S6O,000, O0O

THE HORRIBLE CRIME OF AN OLD REPROBATE E STARTLED THE BUCKEYE COUN-
 TRY YESTERDAY. E. Sabin's Victim Is Edith Hagen, a
 Girl of Nine.

A telephone message received at the sherifrs office yesterday morning de- ] scribed a horrible and revolting crime about seven miles below Buckeye. Edith, the Swear daughter of A l.. Hagen, was found about five o'clock some distance from the house uncon- scious. Her face was lacerated and mutilation showed that she had been assaulted
 E. Sabin, an old man who had been employed by MT. Hagen, was missing and suspicion was naturally directed toward him. When the family retired the night before the girl was sleep ing on a cot near the house. She had been dragged from the cot to the place where she was found Her lacerted face showed that she had offered re- sistance.
 Dr Thayer was sent for and after examining the girl said that she would recover, but he described a condition which cannot well be set out in print.
 The message to the sheriffs office said that posse had been formed em- bracing nearly everybody in the neigh borhoOd and that one of the railroad camps had suspended operations to join in the search. 1t was also stated that this case would cost the county nothing. Sabin was to be lynched without ceremony.
 There was an astonishing thing in the description of Sabin which reached the office of the sheriff, "S2 years old but he does not look older than 65."
 It was suspected at Buckeye that he had gone north and Deputy Sheriff Adams set out for the west When he reached Moore's place on the Agua Fria he learned that an old man had arrived there about half past , o'clock from the south in a wagon with a Mexican. Moore had learned by tele- phone of the crime, but he never sus- pected that the old man before him was the criminal. Moore mentioned it to him and soon after that Sabin went into the brush along the Agua Fria flats.
 But when Deputy Sheriff Adams reached the station and told Moore that it was an old man that he was after, Moore knew that he had seen the rapist The deputy sheriff tele phOned the information he had gained but in the meantime it had been learned at the office of the sheriff that the posse had run Sabin in at Cushions ranch, where it was said that he had confessed his crime, offering as an eX- cuse that he could not resist.
 The fact of his capture was tele- phoned to Deputy Sheriff Adams. who came by Cushions, took charge of the prisoner and brought him in last night. On the way Sabin told the officer that he was not guilty of the crime charged against him; that sis. he was not as guilty as public opinion seemed to hold him.
 Sabin had been working for Hagen about a month, though he had been about the Buckeye country since last November. He said last night that his home is in California, where he has wife and nine children.

II DEPENDS UPON ITALY
Which Is Showing a Reluc- tance to Ask for Extradi- tion of Wife Slayer Whose Crime Has Start led the World.

New York, June 24-Porter CharI- ton will never be tried for murder in the courts of New Jersey. Whether he beat his wife on the head into in sensibility by blows with a wooden mallet at Lake Como, Italy. and then stuffed her, still alive, into a trunk and sank the trunk in the waters of the lake, is a matter outside the juris- dictiOn of the New Jersey courts.
 On the other hand, he will not be released until the question of his san ity is determined This is assured by the Charlton family, who announced through counsel tonight that if the youths mind proved dangerously un- sound they would take the initiative in having him committed.
 The attitude of the New Jersey courts was defined tonight by Prose cutor Pierre Garvan of Hudson cOun- ty, who said: New Jersey now holds Charlton merely on the complaint of the Italian consul general as a fugi- tive, pending a request for eXtradi- ton to Italy. If extradition is not demanded. there is no action the courts of this state can take. Whether the federal courts can still step in is a matter outside of my province, and on which the United States attorney general is more competent to pass an opinion"
 Thus there is possibility that Charlton may walk from jail free man, without trial, for the trend of dispatches from Rome seems to indi- cate that the Italian government will act in the matter with reluctance, since the demand for eXtraditiOn to Italy of an American subject who has committed a crime within Italian jur- isdiction would imperil a cherished Italian precedent.
 Alienists retained by the family. who examined young Charlton today, are Charles L. Dana, professor of nervous diseases in Cornell medical school; pr. Edward B. Fisher, Dr. Allen Mclean Hamilton. who was prominent in the Thaw trials. and J. w. Arlitz, city physician of HObOken.
 Charlton answered the test ques- tfons from shortly before o'clock until nearly 3. His attitude seemed one of total indifference. On the con cIusion of the examination, Attorney Clark. speaking for the party, said different conclusions had been reached and that a further examination would be made tomorrow.
 Charlton, his brother Clarence and his father had an hours talk after the consultation of the alienists- The two elder men came away much de- pressed and refused to talk.

TWO THINGS SCARE
 THE sPECULATORS RENEWED REPORTS OF CROP
 DAMAGE And Some Remarks Made By Attor- ney General Wickersham.

New York, June 24-The stock market fell into depression today un- der the combined influence of re- newed reports of crop damage and the publication of Attorney General Wickersham's speech at Chicago.
 The close correspondence of specu- lative movements with grain stocks was seen in the course of the early fluctuations of the market Stocks started higher and wheat started lower
 When wheat commenced to ad- vance, stocks began to decline. At the same time reports of extensive dam age, not only to spring wheat, but a flood
 The manner in which the subject of government control of capitalization was treated by MT. Wickersham at Chicago in his address seemed to ap peal with new force to operators in stocks. Apparently the determina- ton voiced by Mir Taft in yesterdays statement and indicated in the attor- ney generals argument to make az gressive efforts toward securing new legislation at the coming session of congress, offered a new phase to the subject. Mir Wickersham's advocacy of the use of national power to cor rect every evil of public character which experience demonstrates to be suspectible of correction only by na- tional legislation is taken to indicate a broadening scope of the vovern- ment's pursuit.

THE BRIBERY CASE
 IN JURY'S HANDS THE VERDICT AT TEN O'CLOCK
 LAST NIGHT. Evidence of Principal Witness Court Says is to be Received With
 Caution.

Chicago, June 24-It is many years since an Illinois jury was called upon to consider a verdict of greater po- Iitical importance than the one which this afternoon retired to consider the charge of bribery against Lee O'NeiI Browne, the leader of the democratic minority in the Illinois house or rep resentatives.
 mstructing the jury Judge McSurely said the uncorroborated testimony of an accomplice might be considered, but should be received with great eau tiOn. Should the jury believe that any of the states witnesses testified be- cause of promises of immunity from prosecution, this should enter into the Browne guilty, the court said, the evi- dence must establish beyond a reason able doubt that on June IS. 1909, Browne gave Representative White fin the Briggs house, Chicago, SS5O in consideration of having voted for Will liam Lorimer pursuant to a corrupt agreement
 States Attorney Wayman occupied the greater part of the day making the closing argument for the state Re ceiving no report from the jury of q probable verdict tonight, Judge Me Surely at 10 o'clock left for home aft CT issuing instructions that the verdict if reached should be sealed and re- turned in court tomorrow morning

PAYS FOR 4 BRIDE
 BUT DOESN'T GET HER
The Experiences of Utah Rancher in
 Los Angeles.

Long Beach, Cal, June 24.-Out of pocket $1100 and no bride is what George Craighead, a rancher, fifty five years old from Brigham City, Utah, says his matrimonial ventures meant to him.
 He came here looking for a bride, and while making. inquiries for her he fell into the hands of confidence men at San Pedro and lost 5000 on a rac- ing game. He says he advanced $100 to Miss Emma HarWell. Failing to find her he returned to his home to- day.
 Following his departure police locat- ed Miss Harwell in a local sanitarium, and she corroborated the rancner's story as far as it relates to herself ,he says, however, that she expended the money making a trip to Bingham City to discuss matrimony with Craig head, but that he failed to keep his appointment with her set for June f.
 Then she returned to Long Beach and now says that in view of all that has transpired she does not intend to marry him.

.Ok JOHNSON'S JOURNEY
In View of These Sinister Incidents the Champion Devotes Himself to Medi-
 tation Rather Than Train ing on Arriving at Reno.

Reno, New, June 24.-If Johnson is a superstitious negro, he may regard with apprehension certain peculiar facts connected with his arrival today. When he left San Francisco last night it was an undertaken who said the final words to the champion. "Twenty-three" was the date of his departure. Early this morning in the .snowsheds at Truckee, Jacks train was delayed by a freight cars derail- Iment in Tunnel 13," and when the champion and party finally detrained here it was just thirteen minutes past one, three hours after 10 d. m, the hour scheduled for arrival, which fig ures another "13." To round out the "hOodOO" combination, he settled down in his training quarters here on Fri day.
 Johnson did not follow out his plan to begin training operations this aft ernoon, and in view of the sinister dope" discussed on all sides, no one blamed him.
 Out in Jeffries' camp, Armstrong opined that the charm" hanging over the champion was complete. If he moved around too freely he would be sure to step on and demolish the col lapsible chicken coop brought up for Johnson.
 Reno gave the negro a hearty re- ception. The big crowd at the sta tion had not anything but the friend Hest greeting for the giant who is to defend the title against the former champion Kaufman accompanied Johnson to Reno to continue to act as his chief sparring partner.
 Jeffries topped off a hard days work with a road run late this after noon He donned the gloves for the first time this morning, but scarcely struck a blow in the five rounds he spared with Armstrong and his broth- CT Jack.

LIST OF ACC0MPL EASEMENTS
The Administration Pro
 gram Is Almost Complete In That All the More I'm
 portant Bills Urged By the President Are Laws.

Washington, D. C., June 24.-Not- withstanding action on many impor- tant measures was delayed by con- flicts between the insurgents and regular republican factions in both branches, and that the democratic minority was an active force, con- gress is expected to conclude its long session tomorrow with record for legislation seldom, if ever equaled
 In the matter of the reform movements for which President Taft stood sponsor there are many in stances of success. Chief in the list Of legislation for which the admin stration cOntended were the follow ing:
 A striking revision of the railroad laws, including the creation of commerce court.
 Admitting Arizona and New Mexico to statehood.
 Authorizing the establishment of the postal savings banks.
 Giving the president unlimited au- thority to withdraw public lands for conservation purposes.
 Providing publicity for campaign contributions
 Authorizing an issue of S2O,0OO,OO0 in certificates of indebtedness to com plete the reclamation projects.
 Creating a bureau Of mines.
 Extending the activities of the tar if board and appropriating S250,000 for its use.
 Looking to the suppression of the white slave traffic.
 Creating a commission to consider economies in the administration of the federal government.
 Authorizing the entry of surface coal lands.
 Providing a tariff system for the Philippines.
 Legislation that ultimately is eX- pected to give prohibition to the Hawaiian islands.
 Opposed to the foregoing formidable list of legislation obtained is a com paratively small number of measures that had the administration to sup port but failed in their passage. There were measures for a ship subsidy, anti-injunction, for new forms of gov ernment in Alaska and on the Pana- ma canal zone, a bureau of health, increased postage rates for second class matter, the Appalachian forest reserve an increase of the engineer ing corps of the army.
 Conspicuous acts by congress were strenuous steps taken by the house to reform the method of conducting it's business so that less power might be reposed in the speaker and the or ganization of which he was the nat ural leader
 The speaker was removed from the committee on rules which previously has been credited with dominating It, and a new rule was adopted to pre- vent the pigeonholing of bills by com mittees when they were approved by a majority of the house.
 The enormous demand for legisla- tion imposed upon congress is shown by the fact that since the beginning of the present congress 27,O00 bills were introduced by the house and g. 900 by the senate in addition to hun dreds of resolutions.
 This record is without parallel

 This is one of the biggest steals ever attempted to be put through con- gress,' said MT. Murphy.
 Murphy, who was once attorney for the Creek Indians, tonight figured $20,- S60.000 as the ultimate amount that would accrue to McMurray and those associated with him under the 10 per cent contract. This. said Murphy, is under the geological survey estimate and is exclusive of the percentage that they would get from the lands reserved from allotment
