ATTORNEY GENERAL CALLS RECKLESS SALE AS BAD AS
 LOTTERY TRADE.
BEFORE BAR ASSOCIATION A
Chicasoans Hear Suggestion That Congress Exercise Its Power in Restraint-Refe to Mass
 of Receiver ships.

Chicago, June 25-Asserting the reckless issue of railroad stocks and bonds is as demoralizing as lotteries, Attorney General Wickersham made an argument in fevor of federal reg ulation and control of all railroad is. uss in an address before the State Bar association.
 He says such federal control is an essential part of the governments su- pervision of interstate commerce, and presented quotations from supreme court decisions to support his argu. ments.
 Economists and courts alike" he said, have condemned the reckless issue of stocks and bonds by railroad companies without adequate consider ation, which has become to be gen. erally regarded as demoralizing in it's effect upon the public as the carriage of lottery tickets from one state to another.
 The twenty years period of rail road receiverships and foreclosures, the reports of which fill many vol umes of reports of decisions of fed eral courts, testify eloquently to the practical effect of such unwarranted issues of securities upon the ability of the railroad companies to properly perform their functions as instrument talities to interstate commerce."
 Suggests Control Power
 The attorney general argued that legislation to secure such control was plainly within the constitutional pow CT of congress- He pointed out that the extent of the obligations which a carrier might incur had a direct effect upon the determination of the req condolences of transportation rates, and that the work of the interstate commerce commission would be greatly facilitated, if, before stocks and bonds were issued, the considera- ton therefor were ascertained by the commission to be full and adequate.
 he great arteries of communica- tion," he concluded, "can be properly regulated in the public interest by a central national power which should be exercised to correct every evil of a public character

FATHER COMES ID CHARLT0h'S AID ENGAGES ATTORNEYS TO DE- PEND HIS SON AND FIGHT
 EXPEDITION. CONVINCED HE IS INSANE Prisoner Breaks Down Only When Told Wife Was Not Dead
 When Placed in
 Trunk.
CONVINCED HE IS INSANE

New York, June 25.-Insanity will be the plea put forward by Porter Charlton's father to save the youth from extradition to Italy.
 The young man continues his aston ishng calm and fearless demeanor
 Yes, killed my wife; we quar- reled have no excuses and no de- fense," he repeated.
 That's the coolest proposition I've ever been up against" exclaimed Chief of Police Hayes, in Hoboken. after visiting Charlton. For a self confessed murderer he beats all ever heard tell of"
 Prisoner Rocks To and Fro.
 Only once has he broken down. That was when told that the autopsy showed that his wife was not dead when he threw her into the trunk and dumped it into Lake Como.
 No, nc. don't say that" he eX- claimed in low tones. She was dead; know she was dead"
 But physicians who examined the body say she was still alive. that she died in the trunk pursued the chief. Good God! That's impossible" !" moaned Charlton, rocking his body to and fro. No, no, she must have been dead. Wasn't she dead? Tell me the truth. She must have been dead know she was dead"
 Hayes, finding this opening, sought to draw Charlton on. but he refused to discuss the matter further and when the chief left him he was sitting with crossed hands staring at the ceiling in his cell and muttering: It's lie, lie, l know she was dead"
 here is a discrepancy between one portion of Charlton's confession and the facts. In his confession Charlton says:
 T put the body in a trunk in which also threw the mallet"
 lnasmuch as the mallet with which he beat his wife to unconsciousness was not found in the trunk the police are puzzled as to what became of 1t. Until the mallet is found the mystery will not be entirely cleared, despite the slayer's confession.
 Eager to See Father.
 Charlton was eager for the arrival of his father. Judge Charlton was ac- companied by Lawyer Floyd Clarke and Robert Charlton, younger brother of Porter. When they arrived they had to make their way through a big crowd that had gathered outside po- Ice Headquarters and Judge Charlton jumped nervously as a nashlight was set off. Chief Hayes met him and sad he would have Porter Charlton brought to his own room where the Judge, the lawyer, and the brother could interview him without interfer ence.
 When Judge Charlton saw his boy come into the room he dashed for ward and clasped Porter In his arms Tears coursed down the aged judges cheeks and he whispered:
 We've come to save you, boy; we'll protect you"
 Porter's passive hand reached out and rested on his fathers shoulder with just the suspicion of smile he replied, in quiet tones:

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
TRADING ELEMENT PUZZLED.
Uncertain and Fiuctuating Hating ir
 Stocks-Firm Closing Tone.

New York. July 7.-Today's stock market proved quite baffiing to at teIrpts at interpretation or analysis. The thinning out of the market was a striking feature evidenced not only in the diminished volume of the total transactions. but in the considerable range traversed by prices of usually active stocks without encountering 2 any order for execution and shown in uncertain fluctuations and -halting ing element
 The news of the day offered no striking change in conditions affecting values and it became a question how far the factors existent for some time had completed their influence of the price movement. The resistence shown when prices fell away suggested the operation of supporting forces and an effective absorptive demand, which in timidated the bear element from push ing short sales, but the dying down of the demand advances proved equally diScouraging to the adherhents of the long side in the speculation.
 It was suspected that the confusion thus caused in speculative sentiment might be by design for the purpose of concealing the conduct of the larger speculative forces in the market in q process of gathering up of resources for a fresh movement of importance. The firm closing tone, helped by the regular St. Paul dividend did not en tireIy dissipate the uncertainty over the trend of the market movement
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales. par value. S1,66O,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.
