MAN OF SILENCE
IS MUTE TO. END
Chas. Hoffman Unable to Speak
When Wishing to Bid
Sister Farewell
Associated Press1

SOMERVILLE, N. j., July 1S.-
Charles Hoffman, who has not spoken
a word for three years, according to
his neighbors, is dead He passed away
last night without breaking the silence
which he had preserved so long. Just
befor he died he made an effort to
speak to his devoted sister, Mrs. Mar
garet Lane, who has cared for him
in his lonely house throughout his
eccentric career. The attempt failed,
owing either to weakness or to the
fact that he had lost the power of
articulation.
Hoffman was 67 years old. He was
one Of FIVE sons of a prosperous far
mer. The other four are living and
are prominent in their communities.
Hoffman passed his early life, like his
brothers, on his fathers farm. At the
age of 80 he possessed a farm and
owned a fine team of horses of which
he was very proud. He was fond or
society and attended all the social
gatherings of his community.
Then misfortune overlook him. He
lost his farm and finally his pet team.
He went to bed and turned his face to
the wall and for a long time refused
to eat or speak.
Food was left on a table near his
bed and when he was nearly starved ne
rose one night, ate meal and took a
stroll out of doors. He continued a
number of years to rise each night,
eat and take a short walk in his
garden. One winter night more than
fifteen years ago, he slipped on the
ice and broke an arm while walking
in his garden in the dark. After that
accident he never left his bed.
Whether Hoffman was insane was
never determined, although he had
been examined by physicians with a
view to determining his mental con-
dition. His continued silence baffied
alienists up to the time of his death
Physicians had been expecting Hoff-
man to die every year for the last de-
cade from sheer inactivity His vital
ity for a number of years has been Sc
low that at times his heart almost
failed to beat and for several days be-
fore his death his attendant physician
could not detect any pulse.

ITALY PRESSES EFFORT
TO EXTRAD|TE CHARLTON
Question Whether Insane Person
Can Be Surrendered Is En-
gaging the Officials

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Formal re-
quest for the extradition of Porter
Charlton, charged with killing his wife
at Lake Como, Italy, has been for
warded by special messenger from
Rome to London, where it will be sent
on to Washington by the first fast
mail. Word to this effect reached the
state department through the embassy
at Rome. Monday next will be the
earliest date on which the receipt of
the request may be expected. and the
document may not arrive for eight
days
"Can an insane person be extra
dicted?" was a question the depart
ment considered today. 1t was con-
sidered that a person in an insane
asylum at the time the request for eX-
tradition comes cannot be surrendered.
No definite steps looking to the con-
finement of Charlton in an asylum,
aside from the employment of alienists,
have been taken and consequently his
case opens up some interesting consid-
eratlOns.
1t was pointed out today that in view
of treaty relations with Italy, it would
be Indecent" not only to make any
statement in advance or for this gov
ernment to make up it's mind pending
investigation of all the facts, the law
and the practice in the case.

Raymond Mahaney by Elmer Cooper

according to the police, by the confess

back by one of the shots from Cooper
revolver, and was in hiding until this
afternoon. when he was traced to

The confession of Burgess, who is, a
steam filter and a friend of John Rush.
fits the original account of the struggle
near the Rush home, as told by Cooper
and Miss Rush. The mother of Maha-
ney insisted that her son was killed
because of his affection for Miss Rush.
Burgess said that John Rush was not
present when the attack ON Cooper was
made and Mahaney was killed, but de-
clared that Rush entered into an agree
ment to attack Cooper with Mahaney,
another man and himself, but that
Rush was not with him when Cooper

CAPTAIN SCOTT SAYS
CHARLTON NOT INSANE
Brother of Murdered Woman
Asks for Fair Play and Justice

NEW YORK, July 13.-In view OF
repeated predictions that Porter Charl-
ton will walk from Jail a free man
although he has confessed to the MUIR
der of his wife at Lake Como. Italy
Captain Henry Harrison Scott, Mrs
Charlton's brother, gave out a state
ment today in which he asks for fair
play, justice and a trial.
II believed" Scott said in part,
that when I discovered Charlton my
country would then step in and see
not that my sisters death was
avenged, for 1 have not been seeking
vengeance, but that justice be done.
I have been asking only for fair play
justice and a trial. so that the same
conditions may be allowed to govern
this case as all others when a crime
is committed and discovered.
81 have secured sufficient competent
evidence in the opinion Of my counsel
to establish beyond the slightest doubt
three vital points:
First, that Porter Charlton muir
dered my sister in cold blood in a
manner that required time and deliber-
alton to accomplish, and that subse-
quent to the murder every act to hide
his crime showed deliberation and
forethought.
Second, that at the time of the
commission of the crime he was sane
"Third, that Porter Charlton is now
sane and that any attempt to declare
him insane was nothing short of a
rehearsed intent on the part of Charl-
TOM
In proof of his contention Captain
Scott showed two letters, one of which
he says was written by Charlton
twenty-four hours before the murder
and the other from Mrs. Charlton to a
Younger sister. ChaIlton's letter seems
rational and details his happiness with
his bride.
Mrs. Charltons letter describes her
husband. She says in one paragraph:
"He is a student, but absolutely full
of cheerfulness; in fact in disposition
he reminds me of a boy, except that
portar is ALWAYS sane"

Tariffs Scheduled to Be Effective
August ! Held Up Pending
Inquiry in Autumn
COMMISSION MAPS POLICY
Some Increases Not Affected, but
Those Hitting the Shippers
Hardest Are Halted
Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, July 13,-By a for
NAL vote, the interstate commerce COM
mission today determined to suspend
recent general advances in freight rates
made by railways.
The tariffs suspended in accordance
with the policy of the commission, for
the most part, are those recently filed
by the Western Trunk Line association
and, by the carriers in eastern classi-
tication territory, although some of the
tariffs were filed by individual roads in
other territories.
Encouragement with the president
and with the commission, the railways
agreed to supplement their original ad-
vaneed tariffs, which were to have be-
come effective about July l, with tho
tariffs to become effective August l.
This postponement was to enable the
commission thoroughly to examine its
authority under the new railroad law.
The understanding at the time of the
agreement was reported that such ad-
vances as were general in character and
affected large interests should be sus-
pended pending an inquiry into the
reasonableness of the increases.
The vote taken by the commission
was rather on line of policy to be
pursued as to suspension than upon
specific tariffs
TO ANNOUNCE RATES AFFECTED
Now that the policy of the commits
sion has been determined, 1t will be
automatically applicable in a sense to
such tariffs as fall within its purview.
1t is expected that within day or
two formal announcement will be made
of the precise nature of the commits
sion's policy and, in a general way, the
tariffs that are to be affected by 1t.
Until that announcement is made 1t is
not possible to state definitely what
particular rates will be suspended.
Some advances contained In recently
filed tariffs undoubtedly will not be
suspended, but it is reasonably certain
that practically all the general freight
advances will be held up pending an
| inquiry in the autumn.
In the multiplicity of freight tariffs
| filed with the commission-averag ing
900 or 700 changes in rates day-the
commission naturally will not exercise
its authority to suspend except in such
instances as it Is manifest the proposed
new tariffs might do serious injustice
to shippers. The authority will be eX-
ercised only when extraordinary con-
ditions, in the view of the commission
prevail.

SAMUEL GOMPERS

Washington, August S.-President Sam
uel Gompers of the American Federation
Of Labor today received letter from
President Meyer of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners, denying that in his speech
before the recent miners convention at
Denver he had made a statement dispar-
aging either to the American Federation
of Labor or to Mr.. Gomrers as its pres
1dent.
He explained that he had told the del
egates that Mr.. Gompers, after thirty
years of service, should be retired by the
labor movement on a pension for the
good work he had done. If the policy of
the American Federation was wrong, he
declared. he had also said to the dele
gates, it was the duty of the Western
Federation to endeavor to change it by
becoming part of the national body
: Mr. Meyer asked Mr.. Gompers to name
the place and time for a conference be-
tween representatives of the American
Federation of Labor and the Western
Federation of Miners to continue the ne
gotiations looking to a merger. Mr.. Com
pers said today he would endeavor to
arrange the conference for the lattel part
of next week and 1t would probably be
held in Chicago
