Charlton stated that he and his
wife had been having supper together
at a villa on the shore of Lake Como
and had engaged in violent quar-
rel. He said that his wife was one
of the best women in the world, but
had an ungovernable temper: that
she had called him a vile name. and
finally, when he could stand her
abuse no longer, he had attacked her
with a wooden mallet.
He said that he struck her over
the head three times, knocking her
senseless and killing her as far as
he knew. He then placed the body
in trunk, which he threw into the
water.
Captain Scott, a brother of Mrs.
Charlton, materially assisted the Of
ficers in efrecting the capture of the
murderer, whose careful description
he had given them. He obtained \
10-days leave of absence and made il
a practice to watch all the incoming
steamers.
Captain Scott took one glance at
Charlton as the police We're leading

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 26,-In
furtherance of its advocacy of the ex-
tension of the registration of deaths
and births throughout the United
States, the census bureau is issuing
to the health officers and medical stu.
dents of the country physicians
pocket reference to the international
list of causes of death. In his letter
OF transmittal on the subject to Sec
retary Nagel, of the department OF
commerce and labor, Census Director
Durand states:
Sir: 1t seems to me that there is
almost nothing more important in the
entire field of statistics than vital
statistics, because Of their direct bear
ing upon the health and consequent
welfare OF the people. 1t certainly is
both strange and shameful that the
United States should be SO far behind
the other leading countries Of the
world in the registration of deaths.
and even more SO in the registration
OF births.
This leaflet is designed for distri-
button to every physician in the Unit.
ed States as part of the continuous
effort of this bureau, since its per-
manent organization, to remedy this
defect. 1t has been prepared by DIR.
Cressy L. Wilbur, chief statistician for
vital statistics. with the advice and
aid of the census commission appoint.
ed under Public No. !. Sixty-first con-
gress, to represent the United States
in the international commission for the
revision of the classification OF dis
eases and causes OF death. which was
called by the government OF France
at Paris in July, 1909. The census
commission was composed OF DR..
Frank P. Foster, chairman OF the com
mittee on nomenclature OF diseases
OF the American Medical association;
DR.. Wilmer r. Bait. state registrar
Of Pennsylvania, chairman of the com
nIittee on classification OF causes Of
death of the American Public Health
association, and DR.. Wilbur. more es-
pecially representing this bureau.
Twenty countries participated in the
work OF revision, and other countries
employ the classification, preferably
known as the International list, or
have adopted 1t for use In the imme-

sdays II he has enough change left to
enter a crap game after paying his
necessary expenses. Such, at any rate
are the general views expressed by
members OF the Sleeping Car Porters
and Car Service Mems union, who are
to hold convention in Chicago this
week to discuss the situation. The
porters complain that during the past
year or so their earnings have been
steadily shrinking until they have al
most reached the vanishing point. The
newspaper humorists, with their jokes
anent the Pullman porters and their
wealth, are held partly responsible
for the changed conditions. But the
decrease in the size and number of
the porters' tips are believed to be
chiefly due to a change of sentiment

ENHANCEMENT Mrs. Dodge was not
only prominent In society, but also IN
church work and enjoyed an excellent
reputation. On the other hand, Heath
the victim of the murder, was hard
working, sober and industrious work
man, quiet and inoffensive, without
the slightest suspicion against his mo
raj character or his honesty. He was
married and had several children. IL
IS true, that Heath and Mrs. Dodge
had had some slight difference con-
cerning the bill for some work which
Heath had done upon previous occa'
sion for Mrs. Dodge. bu tfe matter
had been smoothed over and Mrs.
Dodge had again engaged Heath to
work for her.
At the coming trial Attorney Cell
eral Sargent will be assisted BY Stale
Attorney Hunt, while HARLAN B. Howe
of st. Johnsbury and several other
distinguished lawyers will be arrayec
to defend Mrs. Dodge. An Interesting
legal battle is expected and it is be-
lieved that the stare will be seriously
handicapped by its Inability to show n
sufficient adequate motive on the part
OF the defendant. Nothing definite Ia
known concerning me line upon
which Mrs. Dodge's lawyers will make
their fight, but it is believed they
will attempt to show that some strang
er entered the house OF Mrs. Dodge
during the morning. without the
knowledge OF the owner and, that for
some reason he shot Heath u is
expected that the defense will advance
the theory that the stranger, who after
ward killed Heath. may have entered
the house with the intent to commit
s robbery. In support of that theory
It is pointed out that there was q
