Chattanooga, Tenn, Dec 20 Unit
ed States Senator James b. Frazier of
Tennessee yesterday denied he sign
ed the report of the subcommittee of
the committee on privileges and cleo
lions of the Senate which found the
election of Senator William Lorimer
of Illinois free from scandal. In
stead, he says, he filed a statement in
which he declared his belief that
seven of the votes cast for Lorimer
in the Legislature were tainted. II
had been generally reported that all
members of the subcommittee signed
the report which gave Lorimer a
clear record.
In speaking Of the final meeting Of
the subcommittee when the report
was signed, Senator Frazier said:

further, that they were bribed by

in the statement, were that there
were seven votes cast for LOrimer
which were corrupted or tainted. Eli

Ernest Z. Bottum has purchased Of
T. q. Hart the grocery store in the
Putnam House building and will take
possession January /. On that date
he will move his stock in the store
on the south side of the Putnam
House building to the store at pres
ent occupied by Mr. Hart combining
the two lots OF goods
This change does not effect the
shoe department which Mr.. Hart has
conducted In the western half Of his
store. This business will be conduc-
ted I'm the future as in the past by
Hubert f. Hart who owns the bust
ness Jointly with his older brother.
Mr.. Hart retires from the grocery
business to devote his attention 10

engaged for some time He has been
In business in Bennington for 20
years. For the past u years he has
been located az the store which he
will yacate one week from Monday.
For eight years he was in the old
brick store at the corner Of River
and Mill streets. Previous to com
ing TO Bennington he was in bust
ness in, Northampton, Mass, for eight
years following a four years appren-
ticeshlp as clerk. Mr.. Hart has al
ways taken an active inter.

community. He was member
of the school board of trustees for
several terms and his executive abil-
ity was of valuable assistance in
building the local school system to
It's present high standard. During
their residence here Mr.. Hart and
his family have made a large circle
OF acquaintances who will be pleased
to know that the business change
does not mean a change of home,
Mr.. Bottum, the new proprietor of
the long established grocery business
has been in the same line for the
past nine years. He has been loca-
ted during this period in the South
street store OF the Putnam House
block and from a small beginning has
built up an excellent business. With
the larger quarters that will be at his
disposal in the Main street store he
will be in a position to handle larger
quantities of goods and carry a more
varied stock
1t is not likely that the store vaca-
ted by Mr.. Bottum will ever again be
leased. for mercantile purposes.

perfected for improvements at the

added
Senator Lodge has just given
striking proof of the insincerity and
unsoundness of his position by COM
ing out for tariff revision as he has
just done in a speech in the Senate.
TO do this now in this hour of
his extremity, when he knows that
the sentiment Of his state is over
whelmingly against his reelection, is
proof of weakness not OF character.

verdict in the last election. Senator

PORTER CHARLTON CASE
Adjourned Herring in Habess Corpus
Proceedings.

Trenton. ~ j., Dec. 2O.-The adj
iourned hearing in the habeas corpus
proceeding brought by Paul Charlton
to prevent the extradition TO Italy of
his son, Porter Charlton, who has
confessed to having killed his wife
in Italy, took place in the United
States Circuit Court here yesterday.
In accordance with the usual pro-
cedure, Porter Charlton was himself
in court in the custody OF officers Of
the Hudson County Jail
The main point involved is whether
under the treaty existing between the
United States and Italy Charlton,
who is a citizen of the United States
can be extradited to Italy to answer
for crime committed in the latter
country. The Italian government
heretofore has refused to consent to
the extradition by the United States
of citizens of Italy charged with
crime In this country.
The contention on behalf of Charl-
ton is that the United States has ac-
guessed in this construction of the
treaty by failure to declare war
against Italy OF to ask for interna-
tioral arbi,.ation when Italy refused
to give UP Italian citizens who we're
wanted in the United States to stand
trial fcr crimes committed nero.
There has also been raised the
question as to whether Judge Blair,
sitting as an examining magistrate in
the Charlton case, did not commit a
judicial error when he refused TO
hear testimony that was offered TO
prove that Charlton was insane.
Young Charlton was rather pale.
and it was stated by Mr.. Clarke that
he had recently been subject to hem
orrhages.
Pierre p. Garven, prosecutor s. Of
Hudson county, appeared rs the rep
resentative OF the Italian govern
ment
