COMMUTERS WILL
APPEAL TO PUBLIC
UTILITIES BOARD
This Body Is Investigating Intra-
State Rates-May Seek In

The Public Utilities Commission will
tomorrow be appealed to as the court
of last resort to interfere with the in
crease Of Communication rates, when
goes into operation on Wednesday. The
State commission Is investigating The
intrastate rates, and 1t has positively
declared that 1t was without authority
over the interstate rates. Terry Parker,
counsel for the Commuters League OF
New Jersey, believes that the State
commission can secure an Injunction
restraining the increases on the ground
that the notices of the increased rates
were not properly posted by the rail-
roads.

the Public Utilities Commission, decides

fight the proposed increases in COM
mutation rates and that a concen-
trated effort, with financial assistance
pledged, will be made to thwart the ex-
tortion by the railroads.

JUMPS TO
new HIGH RECORD
FOR The SEASON
August and September Sell from
"a to 38 Points Above
Saturday.

NEW YORK, July 1s.-There was a
renewal at the opening today of the
intense excitement noted in the cotton
market toward the close of last week.
The demand for July seemed to be
nue. less active, suggesting that suM-
Gent cotton had been secured in the
South OF abroad to satisfy such con-
tracts as remained outstanding, but
that position made a new high record
for the season, selling at 16. SIS, while
there was a sensational demand for
August and September, with these de-
liveries selling anywhere from "a to IS
points over the closing figures Satur-
day.
The excitement was not entirely CON
fined to the near positions,) for, owing
to the bullish character OF many pri-
vate crop advices. and rather unsatis-
factory weather over Sunday, there
seemed to be a scarcity of foreign
shorts in the new crop months, and
with a broadening investment demand
also In evidence these deliveries sold
about rs to p points net higher, with
out, however, quite reaching the high
records reported earlier in the season.
Cotton appears to be coming here
from practically all directions. 1t Is
said that Southern shippers can even
pay all-rail freights and send cotton
here at a profit. as compared with spot
quotations in the South. But while
shippers may be able to ship here prof.
tably, the original short interest in the
near months must be taking enormous
losses. while there can be little doubt
that the bulls are securing big profits
from the sale of contracts.

SOUTH BROAD STREET
STILL SEEKS WOOD BLOCK.
Merchants Reiterate Desire for
Noiseless Pavement.

That members of the South Broad
Street Merchants Improvement Asso-
citation are still unanimous in their de-
sire TO have wood block pavement in
Broad street was evidenced today dur
ing the informal discussion tina fol-
lowed the regular monthly meeting and
luncheon which was held at Achtel-
Stetter's.
James K. Mcguire and Robert A.
Osborne led the discussion. Mr.. Nc
CURE stated that when the work of
putting down a new pavement was
started 1t should be seen that a good
job would be the result, even though
1t should cost more. He further stated
that with wood blocks Broad street
would be another Fifth avenue" in a
very few years.
Mr.. Osborne said that in connection
with the claim of members Of the Board
Of Works who wanted another kind or
pavement, owing to Newark being a
manufacturing city, with heavy truck
ing. commercial trucking was mostly
all being done now by automobile
trucks. BY this means, he thought,
the wear and tear became much less.

CHARLTON PUZZLE
TO Be SOLVED IN
COURT TOMORROW
Public Prosecutor Admits He
Must Liberate Wife-M Murderer
if MOI Surrendered to Italy.

JERSEY CITY, July 18.-Italy and
the State department at Washington
have exchanged further notes, it vas
learned today, on the subject of the
~extradition of Porter Charlton, the
young American in Jail here, wanted
for the murder of his wife, Mrs. Mary
Scott Castle Charlton. whose body he
placed in a trunk and hurled into Lake
Como, after he had killed her with a
mallet.
The diplomatic notes recently ex-
changed, it is declared, follow formal
demand by the Italian government for
Charlton, and set forth the positions
of the two governments in cases in
volving capital punishment. There is
reason to believe an understanding has
been reached.
1t is said in semi-officiai quarters
that Charlton VIII be arraigned in the
United States Circuit Court tomorrow
and that he will probably afterward be
turned over to the Italian authorities
for extradition n trial.
Prosecutor Pierre P. Garven said to-
day that unless some way could be
found to stretch the statutory period he
had no alternative but to liberate
Charlton at the expiration of hat time,
should the court so rule.
Charlton was arrested on June 20 as
he landed from the North German
Lloyd steamer Princess Irene at Ho-
boken. He was arraigned before Re
corder McGovern the following day.
The hearings on his possible ~extradition
have been adjourned from time to time
and the last adjournment was taken
until August II.
Prosecutor Carver seemed to think
that the ~arraignment on. August IL
might be considered as the first formal
hearing on the question of ~extradition
and that the statutory period will be-
gin to run from that time.

K|NKEAD DENIES
VISIT To W|TTPENN
IN OAv|S'S BEHALF
Story Originated, He Says, by
Those Opposing Wilson
for Governor.

Congressman Eugene F. Kinkead
seldom becomes perturbed over any
thing a newspaper says about him,
ever though it's foundation may exist
in imagination only.
That applies where the congressman
is concerned individually. but he does
object to be misrepresented or placed
in a false light through having his
name coupled with someone else.
The published statement that /
called on Mayor Wittpenn as the rep
,resentative of Robert Davis and urged
the former to withdraw as a candidate
for the gubernatorial nomination is abb
solutely untrue" said Mr.. Kinkead to-
day.
MY visit was a purely personal one
and / spoke as a Democrat and ii
friend of Mayor Wittpenn only when /
urged the latter to withdraw and aid
his fellow Democrats in making the
nomination of Woodrow Wilson unani-
nous
my friendship for Mayor Wittpenn
Is not of recent date, nor was 1t
formed for al Interior purpose. l was
with him in every contest he has
waged, including that of three years
ago, when his whilom sponsors of to-
day engineered an investigation by d
select committee of the Senate for the
~ostensible purpose of probing the Hud-
son County Board of Freeholders and
actually to attack the character of
Mayor Wittpenn, who was at the time
county supervisor.
tr~1,z aI.A,, -Lo,r,N - CO hfffA~
that Mayor Wittpenn, while exoner
ated by the Senate committee, insti-
tuted a libel suit for nominal damages
as a matter of vindication against the
paper which had prompted the investi-
cation.
THE trial lasted long enough to
enable Mayor Wittpenn, under oath,
to state why this newspaper attacked
him. Now the same paper is his spon-
sor for the gubernatorial nomination,
for reasons. no doubt.
Davis as Close as He.
LAS for visiting the mayor as a rep
resentative of Mr.. Davis that is absurd.
Mr.. Davis is and has been as close a
personal friend of Mayor Wittpenn as
I am. If he had any desire to COM
municate with the mayor he would no
doubt do it in person. Ordinarily !
would permit to pass unnoticed ridicu-
lous statements of this character.
"As it is, I refer to it solely to show
the plan of misrepresentation those
who oppose the nomination of Wilson
will resort to.
1T is on a par with the excerpts
published from a baccalaureate sermon
by President Wilson at the Princeton
commencement exercises two years ago,
in which the orator is made to appear
antagonistic to labor interests.
1.-THE American spirit of fair play de-
mands better treatment than this. My
congressional record, I think, will show
that I am as true a friend as the cause
of labor has, and President Wilson's
actual views on the labor question are
good enough for me-. When the proper
time arrives DR.. Wilson will define his
on all great issues in a
straightforward and comprehensive
manner"
