Prior to his departure the atorney-
general instructed his first assistant.
Theodore Backes, to prepare injunction
proceedings against the Erie and the
Susquehanna railroads.
To Seek Injunctions Immediately.
Application for these injunctions will
be made to the Court of Chancery at
Trenton without delay. probably to-
morrow.
There is believed to be a statutory
bar against these two railroads.
The act of 1898 authorizing the merger
forbids the increasing of fares, and for
either of the roads to do so is regarded
as a clear violation of the law.
Intrastate fares Is the only problem
left for the commuter to worry over at
present. That is of much Importance.
too. The State Railroad Commission
will continue its hearing at Trenton
tomorrow. The public utilities law,
which transforms the State Railroad
Commission into the Public Utilities
Commission on July 4, does not give
rate-mal1ing power. The Federal Com
state fares, and the question now agi-
tating the commuters is what the
State authorities propose to do with
the intrastate proposition
Republicans to Blame.
If the public utilities law had not
been stripped of its best clauses by the
Republican leaders who controlled the
Legislature, the State Commission
would be able to cope with the at
tempt to increase the passenger rates
to points within the State. Having
evaded responsibility by switching the
interstate complaints to the Federal
authorities, it will be interesting to
see what the State authorities intend
to do with the intrastate questions
Before leaving for Washington. Attor-
ney- General Wilson confidently ex-
pressed the opinion that the Interstate
Commerce Commission would give the
New Jersey complaints an early hear
ing, and that there was little or no
doubt but that the federal board would
forthwith issue proclamation to pre-
vent the railroads from carrying out
their program to increase the passenger
rates The attorney generals petition,
which supplements the complaints
against the railroads, asks specifically
for a suspension of the schedules
and the general belief is that the re-
quest will be granted. The new rates
are advertised to go into effect before

Brother Of Dead Woman and De-
tectives Arrest Culprit at
H0b0ken Dock.
YOUNG AMERICAN IS
PROMPT TO CONFESS
Gives Details of How He Slew
Helpmate and Immersed Her
Body in Italian Lake.

HoBOKEN, June 23.-Porter Chari-
ton, husband of Mrs. Mary Scott Cas-
tie Charlton, whose body was found
stuffed in a trunk which was taken
from Lake Como. Italy, recently, was
arrested as he stepped from the steam
ship Princess Irene here today. Charl-
ton at first denied his identity, but
after being given the third degree"
he admitted that he was the husband
of Mrs. Charlton.
The police later announced a state
ment signed by Charlton was a con-
fession that he had slain his wife.
Charlton said in his confession that
he and his wife had been having sup
per together at the villa on Lake Como,
and that they had engaged in a violent
quarrel.
Charlton said his wife, who was one
Of the best women in the world. had an
ungovernable temper and called him
some vile names and that finally, when
he could not stand her abuse any
longer. he attacked her with wooden
paalet.
The young man said that he struck
her over the head three times. knock
Ing her unconscious and killing her, as
far az he knew.
Charlton told the police that he then
stuck the body of his wife in trunk
and carried it down to the lake, where
he threw the trunk in the water.
The body of Mrs. Mary Scott Castle
Charlton was found packed in a trunk
which was taken from Lake Como near
the village of Moltrasic by fishermen
on June 10. Tho woman, with her hus-
band, Porter Charlton, had occupied a
villa on the lake front leased by them
some time before. At the time the
womars body was recovered Porter
Charlton coxf1d not be found.
The italian police have insisted that
Charlton was alive and have directed
their engerfes to locating the young
man. AnArican Consul Caughys on the
other hand, held tosthe theory that a
double murder had been committed,
ana It was through his representations
tho Italian authorities engaged divers
to make q. search Of the lake bottom
near where the trunk had been sub
merged. This work was but recently
abandoned. Meantime the detectives
followed up their own theory and their
most recent conclus1on was that Charl-
ton was a passenger upon some steamer
which had sailed from Genoa or other
italian port for New York.
The only arrest made in Italy in con-
nection with the case was the detention
of Constantine Ispolatoff, a Russian,
who had made the acquaintance of the
American and his wife. He was ex-
arnined repeatedly but satisfied the po-
lice that he had not figured In the
ire pedy and was released.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-Judge Paul
Charlton, law officer of the bureau OF
insular affairs of the war department,
as soon as he heard the news that
man said to be his son, Porter charlton
had been arrested, left his office in the
war department and departed from the
city. presumably for Hoboken.
