FIRST CASE OF KINr
Extradition Proceedings May be Broughtto Bring Driver
 to Boston.

Boston, Sept. 19.-The finding of an indictment against Charles s. Dewey of Chicago, charging assault in connec- ton with an automobile accident at Magnolia last July, was announced to- day. It Is said that this is the first case in which an indictment has been found on this charge as a result of alleged reckless automobile driving, and it is expected to have an import ant bearing on the alleged practice by owners of automobiles coming after an accident and thus place themselves beyond the jurisdiction of the local courts, In view of an indictment hav- ing been found 1t will be possible to bring extradition proceedings, if nec- essary, to secure the presence of the accused In court here.
 The complainant in the case is the Safe Roads Automobile association, which is conducting a movement to se- cure proper management and speed of automobiles on Massachusetts high ways
 In the accident on which this charge is based, an alleged attempt on the part of the driver of MT. Dewey's ear to pass between another automobile and carriage resulted in the second automobile being overturned. U. K. Petengill of Boston and his chauffeur were thrown out and badly injured.

JUSTICE FORT
 FOR GOVERNOR New Jersey Republicans Nominate Former Mem Der of Supreme
 Bench.
ENDORSE WORK OF
 PRES. ROOSEVELT
Maintenance of Reform ir Excise Legislation Prom ised in Plat
 form.

Trenton, N. J., Sept 19,-Supreme Court Justice Franklin Fort was nom- mated for governor at to-day's repub- lican state convention on the first bal lot. The nomination was not accom- plished until after o'clock owing to a long wrangle over the platform on the excise question
 Justice Fort received 753 votes, Chancery Clerk Vivian M, Lewis, of Passaic, received 179 votes, Sheriff Frank II. Sommer, of Essex, 120 votes and Supreme Court Justice Mahlon Pitney 97 votes.
 After the nomination had been made Justice Fort appeared before the con- vention. He first handed to Governor Stokes, who was present, his resigna- ton from the supreme court bench. He then made short speech in which among other things, he declared for the greatest measure of home rule in the matters of police regulation. This was interpreted by the delegates fa- vorable to liberal Sunday laws as 6 declaration in their favor and as a re. suit the gloom of an hour before over the defeat of their amendment was turned to joy and they joined vigor. ously in the cheering of the candidate Justice Fort said the time was too short to discuss issues in detail and that he would have more to say as thu campaign progressed
 The platform adopted contained, frs of all, an endorsement of the admin istration of President Roosevelt. Tn, administration of Governor Stokes wa! | also endorsed. On the excise question which the democrats left severely alone, the republican platform con tained what was intended as an en dorsement of the so-called "bishops law" In these words:
 ''The republican party has accom- plished needed reform in excise legisla ton and pledges itself to the mainte nance Of It."

CANNOT BREAK JAPANESE TREATY Consul Nosse Discusses Protest Against Ori-
 entals Entering
 Canada. AGREEMENT GOOD
 FOR THREE YEARS Says Abrogation Would Have Material Effect on
 Trade Between
 Countries.

Ottawa, Ont, Sept 19.-"That treaty cannot be broken said Japanese Con- sul General Nosse to a reporter to-day, when asked for an expression of opin ion regarding the resolution which the Dominion Trades and Labor Congress has forwarded to Sir Wilfrid Laurier. He referred to the Japanese treaty and explained that 1t was signed some twelve months ago, was for four years and hence, in his opinion, cannot be broken for at least three years yet.
 At the trades congress which five Ot- tawa delegates are attending, a very strong resolution was passed touching on the Asiatic problem, protesting against Japanese coming to Canada and calling on the premier to at once take steps to have the British govern ment give the necessary six months notice to have the British Japanese treaty abrogated. While it is hardly likely such radical change can be made, the Japanese consul's answer is interesting as 1t practically amounts to an assertion that the treaty cannot be abrogated at present.
 Tn case the treaty was abrogated would it affect Japanese trade with Canada?" Mir. Nosse was asked.
 Certainly" he replied, 1t would most materially affect it."
 MT Ishii, the Japanese envoy, who has been here to discuss the Japanese situatiom with the premier, left at 10:4E this morning for Chicago. MT, Nosse stated that he did not know how long Mir. Ishil would be there, or why ht went He believes he may go to somt other big American center' but is not certain as to his movements.
 While Consul General Nosse's state, ment that the Japanese treaty witt Great Britain cannot be abrogated fo three years Is true, it is pointed ou that the Canadian treaty contains { special clause stipulating that 1t ma. be abrogated after six months notice There is some question as to the legal ity of this clause in the Canadian treaty in view of the fact that tn I British treaty was adopted in its en tirety. However, an amicable settle ment of the whole immigration ques ton is looked for by both sides and Is unlikely that this question will be come an issue.

STANDARD OIL
 MAY BE IN TEXAS Indication of Operations There Under Name of Corsicana Refining
 Company.
JOHN D. OWNS MORE
 THAN ONE-FOURTH
Evidence Brought Out That He Has 256,8 1854 Certifi- cates of Standard
 Stock.

New York, Sept, 19-That the Stand- ard oil company is operating under the name of the Corsicana Refining com pany in the state of Texas, which has forbidden the oil combine to operate within the state, was indicated to-day when Wesley H. Tilford, treasurer of the Standard Oil company, under ex- animation in the governments suit against the company, testified that H. c. Folger and c. M. Payne, who Frank B. Kellogg, the attorney for the gov- ernment, states control the Corsicana company are prominent in the conduct of affairs of the Standard oil company. Mir. Kellogg sought to draw from the witness the information that the Cor sicana company was really Standard Oil company and was operating in Tex as because the anti-trust laws of that state would not permit the combine to operate there. MT. Tilford replied that as far as he knew the Standard oil
 company had no interests in Texas He said that Mir. Folger and Mir. Payne were both officers of the Standard oil company, but he was not aware that they owned the Corsieana company
 Another interesting development was
 the official statement made public for
 the first time to-day, of John D. Rock
 efeller's personal holdings in the Stand ard Oil company. Just to what extent
 the reputed head was individually in- terested in the great concern has long been a matter of speculation It was brought out to-day that MT. Rockefel- Ter owned 256,S54 shares, or more than
 one-fourth of the total 972,50O certifi- cates of the Standard Oil company. Based on the earnings of the company
 as placed on record Tuesday 1t is
 computed that MT. Rockefeller's per-
 sonal profits during the past eight
 years have aggregated almost $125,O0o.s GOO. At Tuesdays hearing it was testi- ef. T T1-.- \
