WARSHIP COST PROBLEM
GOES BACK TO CONGRESS
No Contracts Will Be Relet Until
Matter Has Been
Recousidered.

The contract for the new battleship
Texas, for which the Newport News Ship
building Company was the only bidder,
will not be awarded until Congress has
had an opportunity to pass upon all the
questions involved in the increased cost
of naval construction.
One Of the questions which Congress
will be called upon to decide is whether
1t will authorize q substantial increase in
the limit of cost of. the battleshIp New
York In order to build that vessel in the
New York navy yard, or repeal the in
junction OF the last naval bill to the
effect that she must be constructed in q
government yard, thus opening the way
to have her built by contract.
This question has been brought to the
fore by an offer received by the Navy
department from the Newport News
Sh.pouilding and Dry Dock Company. to
construct the New York for the same
amount as, and possibly less than, its
estimates Cor the Texas. That COM
pany's bids for the Texas ranged from
SIS. 1t0, 600 to s., $50. 600; according to the
type of engines to be installed. The
Navy Department has announced that it
will cost about S7,5O0.O0O to build that
vessel in the New York navy yard. II
Congress should decide to build the New
York by private contract, bids probably
would be invited from all the private
shipbuilders.

PORTER CHARLTON

Notwithstanding Italy has not and insists
1t cannot surrender it's citizens to us. It
should be observed. in the first place, that
we have always insisted, not only with
reference to the Italian eXtraditiOn treaty,
but with reference to the other eXtradi-
ton treaties similarly phrased, that the
word persons includes citizens. We are,
therefore, committed to that interpreta-
ton.
THE fact that we have, for reasons
already given, ceased generally to make
requistion upon the government of Italy
for the surrender of Italian subjects un-
der the treaty would not require Of ne
ceSSity that We should, a matter OF
logic or law. regard ourselves as free
from the obligation of Surrenderfng our
citizens. we laboring under no such legal
inhibition regarding surrender as operates
against the government of Italy. There
fore, since eXtradtion treaties need not
be reciprocal, even in the matter of the
surrendering. Of citizens, it would seem
entirely sound to consider ourselves as
bound to surrender our citizens to Italy
even though Italy should not, by reason
of the provisions of her municipal law,
be able to surrender its citizens to US.
Variance of Nations Laws.
In concluding his memorandum in the
case, Secretary Knox says:
a matter of public morals, ough to be
given to an extradition treaty, it must be
remembered that under our Constitution
and laws it is not possible to punish
criminals in this country for crimes COM
mitted against the peace and gnity OF
foreign governments, and that, therefore,
unless we surrender to such foreign gov
ernments, for trial and punishment there
in our citizens committing crimes within
The Jurisdiction of such governments. such
citizens will go wholly unwhipped by
justice.
"Extradition treaties are negotiated and
put into force and effect in order that
persons committing crimes In one coun-
try and fleeing to another may be brought
to justice, and to interpret an eXtradition
treaty. which under our Constitution H.
the supreme law of the land, in a way
that does violence to its obvious meaning
and our consistent contention as to Its
meaning, so as to produce a precise situa-
ton which the treaty was designed to
meet and correct cannot be justified.
For these reasons, it is decided that
the government of the United States
should surrender to the government Of
Italy Porter Charlton, charged with the
crime of murder. which crime he has con-
fessed.
Counsel for the prisoner also contends
that Charlton should not now be sur
rendered, because the committing magis-
trate refused to receive testimony tending
to prove his insanity Ii the magistrate
erred in thus refusing such testimony
the prisoner has his remedy in the courts,
and it is not for the department, at this
stage Of the proceedings to pass upon this
question

chased by the Imperial Theater Company

Obligations of United States.

As 20 the question of the obligation of
the United States to surrender the pris-
oner under the treaty the decision says:
The question Is now for the first time
presented as to whether or not the United
states is under obligation under the treaty
10 surrender TO Italy for trial and pun
ishnent citizens of the United States
fugitive from the justice of Italy. not
w1thstandtng the Interpretation placed
upon the treaty by Italy with reference
TO Italian subjects. In this connection
IT should be observed that the United
states. although. as stated above, con-
sistently contending that the Italian in
depreciation was not the proper one, has
not treated the Italian practice as
breach OF the treaty obligation necessarily
requiring abrogation has not abrogated
the treaty or taken any step looking
thereto. and has, on the contrary, con-
stantly regarded the treaty as in full
iorce and effect and has answered the
obligations imposed thereby. and has in
vOked the rights therein granted
1T should, moreover. be observed that
even though the action of the Italian gov
eminent be regarded a. breach of the
treaty. the treaty is binding until abro-
gated, and therefore the treaty not hav-
ing been abrogated, its provisions are
operative against US.
1.-THE question would. therefore, appear
TO reduce itself to one OF Interpretation
of the meaning OF the treaty. the govern.
Tneut OF the United States being now for
the first time called upon TO declare
whether 1t regards the treaty as obligat-
ing II to surrender its citizens to Italy,

the Columbia river basin. There, it is
estimated, there are 10, 5o0, 900 horsepower

Columbia They will furnish in the ag-
gregate $4,000 horsepower

power of the basin. At that it Is five
times the amount of water horsepower
already generated in the state.
The report Is by John c. Stevens. It
covers the Klickitat, TIE White Salmon,
the Lewis, Toutle and Little White sal
mon rivers. These are sources of possible
power in the order named. The report
is accompanied with full maps and a
