Asks for Fair Play.

NV York, July 13.-In view of re-
.peated predictions that Porter Charl-
ton will walk from Jail a free man.
although he has confessed TO the mur-
der OF his wifo at Lake Como. Italy,
Captain Henry Harrison Scott, Mrs.
Charlton's brother. gave out state
ment o-day, in which he asks for fair
play and trial.
II believed" says Captain Scott. IN
part, that when ] discovered Charlton
my country would then step In and
see, not that my sisters death was
avenged, for I have not been seeking
vengeance, but that Justice be done.
II have secured sufficient competent
evidence, in the opinion of my counsel
to establish beyond the slightest doubt
three vital points.
First-That Porter Charlton mur-
dered my sister in cold blood. in
manner that required time and delib-
Grafton to accomplish. and that sub
sequent to the murder every act to
hide his crime showed elaboration and
torethought.
"Second-That at the time of the
commits sion of the crime he was sene.
"Third-That Porter Charlton Is now
sane and that any attempt to declare
him insane was nothing short OF re-
hearsed pretense on the part OF Charl-
ton"
In proof of his contention. Captain
Scott shows two letters, one of which
he says was written to him by Charlton
twenty-four hours before the murder,
and the other from Mrs. Charlton to a
younger sister. Charlton's letter seems
rational and details his happiness with
his bride. Mrs. Charlton's letter de-
scribes her husband. She says in one
paragraph:
"He is a student, bit absolutely full
OF cheerfulaess; in fact. in disposition
he reminds ue Of --- lot, ex-
cept that Porter is always sane" The
word sane is underlined

New York. July ia plain spoken
letter to Jose Gomez. President Of tho

to-day by. W. e stillman. president Of
the American Humane Society.
President Stillman notes that one
house. OF the Cuban Congress has

or necessary for the development OF a
pie Of country should be permitted

'..Just so surely as the people OF
Cuba are allowed to be debauched by
bling, SO certainly will their moral
character become more and more de-
moralized until Cuba will cease to be
a self-governing nation. and become
merely an annex to some strong gov-
moral fibre"

vate r. W. Wilson, members of

This map shows all roads,

telephone and telegraph lines,
hills, standing timber, and other
features of the territory covered.
The field work of this military
map is done on horseback, the
principal instruments used being
a compass, stop-watch, and bar
ometer. The roads, streams,
and other features are sketched
roughly in a note book as they
are passed, and afterwards drawn
into a careful map. In making
the field sketches the compass is
used to show directions, the stop
watch to measure distances, and
the barometer to show elevations
above the sea level. Distances
are measured from established
corners, usually every mile. Each
soldier knows just how long it
his horse to trot a mile,
and by noting the number of
seconds it takes to reach a
point, he can tell exactly how
it is from the corner.
This map is being compiled so
hat the Army may have as its
disposal an absolutely accurate
nap of every portion of the
country whenever troops are
to operate, either for
practice or for actual fighting. Of
