Col. Timothy J. Murphy. command ng the First Regiment of Hibernian Rifles of Connecticut. has resigned af- ter IT years of service as the ranking officer of the military organization in zation.
 i The Colonel who has held the office longer than any of his predecessors, has been desirous of resigning for sev- eral years back because of a lack of time to devote to the work. but he has been prevailed upon until a few days since to retain the place
 [ Col. Murphy brought the Rifles up to their highest state of efficiency in 1898 when he offered to President Mc- Kinley the services of 1,141~drilled men and officers to fight against Spain. The offer was made on May H. 1898, through Governor Cook. On May 26 the Governor and staff reviewed the State parade of the regiment at Wa terbury, and a few days later Colonel Murphy was notified by the War De- partment that his regiment had been accepted for government service up- on the recommendation of Governor Cook. He was instructed to hold his command in readiness to be mustered Into the service of the United States. Every man in the regiment. with one exception. voted to enlist, but the war took such a turn that.the 1,141 picked men who comprised the Hibernian reg lment were deprived of the opportunity to fight.
 In response to his letter of resigna- ton Col. Murphy has received the fol- lowing letter from State President Philip J. Sullivan of Thompsonville: Your favor at hand and it's contents

Judge James F. Walsh waited long chis morning in the criminal Common Pleas court, for the appearance of Frank Glasner. proprietor of the Bos- ton Loan Go. in Cannon street. who was held on three counts of usury on an appeal from the City court. At f2:05 neither Glasner nor his counsel had appeared, and his bond of $500, which had been given by his brother, Jacob Glasner, proprietor of the Bridgeport Loan Co. in the Warner building. was called.

BOY OF FIVE IN PLAY MAKES HUMAN TORCH OF TWO YEARS
 OLD BROTHER WHO WILL DIE
Ignorant of Danger Little Victim Gleefully Watches
 Fire Consuming His Clothes
Cries of Child Reach Mother Too Late to Save Him from
 Being Burned fro m Head to Foot

Ignorant of the terrible result that must follow his innocent childish prank, five years old Joe Delibero of 130 Clarence street set a match to the clothing of his two years old early this mornin. Florence was frightfully burned before his mother could quell the flames with a pan of water. He was taken to the Bridge port hospital, and was just alive at press hour.
 Frank DeIibero, the father, a la borer in the Singer Mfg. Co.,. had kissed his wife and three children good bye only half an hour before the mishap. Mrs. Delibero sent the two boys out to the back yard to play The children were accustomed to spend hours at a time playing about grape arbor and running through the big back yard, a breathing pIace larger than many of their humble circumstances could afford
 Joe and Florence sat themselves on tar walk leading from the back door around to the side of the house. and while the mother was busying herself with the care of the baby and the housework, they began to scratch matches they found strewn along the walk. The mother took alarm at the sound and hurrying to the door call- ed the elder lad into the house, as- signing him to the task of rocking the cradle to keep him out of mis- chief
 She did not realize that already the elder brother had set fire to the little fellows clothing, and that while she in ignorance of his peril was within a few feet his clothing was being consumed as the flames spread quick ly over his thin garments
 Florence clapped his hands in glee as the flames spread over his thin little skirt. He was too small to know, the peril, and not until the flame had mounted waist high did

 APPROXIMATE IN THE MINES

Washington, June 15-Americans take but little part in mining bitumin- ous coal in this country. according to a report submitted to the Senate today by the immigration committee. The percentage of foreigners in the mines is shade less than 62 per cent Of the 54000 foreign born employees, rep resenting A races. the commission found that 38 per cent. had been in the country less than five years. Only 20 per cent. of the immigrant work men, says the report, had been en- gagged in mining before coming to the United States. The fact that such a great majority of mine employees had had no experience in mining is sug- gested as a probable cause of many serious accidents.
 Seventy per cent. of the S0,000 miners were found to be earning g or over a day, but owing to irregularity of em- ployment the monthly or yearly wage was relatively much less.
 During the year covered by the in vestigation only 16.8 per cent. of the men worked full time.
 Company stores flourished in the same old way. Where the stores are prohibited by law they are organized separately from the mining company but have the same stockholders.

ITALIAN POLICE SAY CHARLTON
 SAILED AWAY Believe He Murdered Wife and Had Time to Leave Before
 Body Was Found. But Ambassador LeiShman and Consul Caughy Still Insist That Husband too Was
 Slain

Como, Italy, June 15.-The Italian authorities today believe that Porter Charlton, the husband of the murdered Mary Scott stle-Charlton. sailed for New York on either the Italian Navi- gation Company's steamer Varona, which left Genoa for New York %h June 8, or the Italian-Lloyd steamer Virginia. which sailed from Genoa on June g. They have sent wireless mes sages to both these vessels requesting sengers corresponding to the descrip- tion of Charlton to escape without thorough investigation. Mrs. Charl- ten was murdered, it is now believed, on June 6. Her body was not dis covered until June 10, so that Charlton could easily have sailed on either of the vessels mentioned without arous- ing the least suspicion.
 The Italian police have completely abandoned the theory that Charlton may have been murdered along with his wife, thereby placing themselves in direct opposition to United States Am haSSadOr LeiShman and United States Consul Caughy, of Milan, who still in- sist that Charlton too was slain. Con- sul Caughy discovered today what he believes to be new evidence in support of his theory in the fact that a sec end trunk was missing from the Charl- ton villa immediately after the murder Caughy says it is improbable . that Charlton may have taken the trunk with him on his escape.
 Caughy believes that Mrs. Charlton s body was placed in one of the trunks found in the Charlton villa and the husbands body in the second trunk and that both were thrown in. the lake.
 Caughy attributes all the stories ot Charlton having been seen after the supposed date of the murder to the | ir1oa Y a iva mind of tho Italian OQ0nlQ ''These stories are nothing more than vague runlorS,'' he said. "and are SC
 unreliable that no confidence can be placed in them"
 From the evidence at hand. however the authorities are firm in their belief that Charlton was the murderer. Ii was expected the official report of the autopsy on Mrs. Charltons body would be made today. but the authorities are suppressing all the details. making il impossible to verify the report that this examination would reveal sensa. tional evidence.
 Absolutely no credence is given tht story published in Il Secolo of Milar that Esteile Reid. the New York gir whose body was washed ashore at Ma 1 pies some weeks ago. was in reality | the sister of Porter Charlton. Int | beyond question and II Secolo's story l only shows the general state of cOnfu sion that exists regarding the Charlton mystery.
 Washington. June 15-F'riends of tn | Charlton family here advanced a nev | theory today in explanation of tn ! great quantity of blood found in tn 1 villa near Como. Italy, where Mrs ! Porter Charlton was murdered. They | say that Porter Charlton. now sus | pected of his wffe's murder. suffered | from tuberculosis which frequentl. l caused hemOrrhages They think h.
 suffered hemorrhage in the excite ment.

TWELVE PERISH,
 IN FIRE TODAY
Special from United Press.)

(Speclal 1rQm United PreSS)
 Niagara FallsSJune 15.-Twelve men, all Austrians, employed on the power development work on the Canadian side of the river, perished in fire which destroyed four shacks at Falls View, Ontario, early today. Three others. a man, a woman and a child, are in the general hospital at Niagara Falls. Ont, suffering from burns.
 All the dead were in one shack. When the firemen from the city ar rived the shacks were in ruins. The colony of workmen is outside the city limits and there was no water pro- lection. It is not known how the fire started. One report was that the workmen retired after a rousing car nival celebration and were suffocated in their sleep. Another report said that they attempted to escape down the stairs which gave way and pre- cipitated them into the flames.

1 he feel the pain. As the fire reached ms undergarents, ne cried out, and little Joe quitting the cradle hurried through the narrow hallway leading from the kitchen to the back yard and saw Florence striving to gain his feet as the fire Ieaped up on his white waist and encircled his head.
 Joe screamed with fear. His mother rushed to thr back door, be- held the plight of her second born and in frenzied haste ran to the sink. snatched up pan containing dish water and dashed itover the child. Then she snatched him up in her arms and beat out the smouldering flames with her bare hands.
 Joe retained consciousness. but soon his screams gave way to feeble moans, and he lapsed into a semi conscious state. Neighbors ran around the corner to East Main street for Dr. Cenicola while the mother carefully removed the charred clothing to which bits of skin and flesh were at- tached
 Dr. Cenicola found the child burn ed from head. to foot. Only the left hand and the left side of the face had escaped. Almost all over the lft- tie body the flames lad eaten their way through the skIn deep into the flesh. Dr. Cenicola administered drugs to relieve the sufferers pain, bandaged him from head to foot with soothing remedies and placing him in blankets held the child in his arms as he was driven to the Bridgeport hos pital- Little hope was extended to the anguished parents at the hospital this afternoon.
 The parents have repeatedly tried to gain from the elder brother a story of how he came to fire the chffdts garments, but he will only say they were playing with the matches, and when pressed for further details, breaks down and cries in fear The extreme youth of the child will preclude any action by the authorf- ties towards holding him responsible for the little victims condition.

.PENNSYL VANIA DEMOCRATS WAR
 ON CHAPTERS State Convention Meets at Allentown to Nominate
 a Governor Platform Demands Federal Regulation of Trusts and
 Combinations
Especial from United Press.o


 Allentown, Pa, June 15-With the prospective slate arranged by the party leaders smashed through the refusal of c. Larue Munson of Will Transport to permit the party bosses to nominate him for governor, the Democratic state convention assemb- led here today with more enthusiasts in evidence than at any similar body in years.
 Joseph P. McCullon of Philadelphia was the temporary chairman of the convention and in his speech arraign- ed the Republican state administration as "so extravagant that the people must rebuke it.''
 John G. Harman of Bloomburg was named as permanent chairman.
 In part John G. Harman said: "The hour for action has arrived, such an hour. and such a condition as seldom presents itself to the min- ority party in Pennsylvania and yet a condition the logical result of Repub- lican misrule, broken faith and cor ruption in office of high and low de- gree.
 What we need and what we de mand is honest men in public office, not rogues to be put in jail.''
 The platform denounces the Repub- Hcans in the nation for failure to re- wise the tariff downward and declares for immediate revision, by the reduc- tion of import duties and placing upon the free list trust controlled products and the necessities of life: demands Federal regulation of the trusts; econ omy in National and State government and the placing of all governmental departments upon a business basis; declares for. National and State con- servation of natural resources; recom- mends an income tax; Federal and State compulsory arbitration; limita- tion of campaign expenses and com plete publicity by candidates and com- Inittees.
 MAINE
 Augusta, Me. June 15-With brighter prospects than for years, the Demo- cratic party leaders met today to nom- mate a State ticket to oppose that which will be headed by Governor Bert M. Fernald, the Republican nominee to be. Among the more prominent can didates for the Democratic nomina ton are Obadiah Garnder of Rockland and Mayor Fred Plaisted of this city. either of whom. it is believed. will have the strength to down the G. O. P. in the coming fight.
 When the Democratitc convention opened today it was presided over by D. J. McGill. During the early hours of the convention it looked probable that Gardner would be the Guberna- torial nominee, but Plaisted showed great strength.
