CHARLTON EXAMINED.
Cannot BE Tried For Murder in New
Jersey Courts Say Attorneys.

New York, June 24.-Porter Charl-
ton cannot be tried for murder in the
courts of New Jersey. Whether he
beat his wife on the head into insen-
sibility with blows from a wooden
mallet at Lake Como, Italy, and then
stuffed her, still living, into trunk
and sank the trunk in the waters of
the lake, is a matter outside the juris-
diction of the New Jersey courts.
But he will not be released until
the question of his sanity is determin-
ed This is assured by the Charlton
family, who announced tonight that
if the boys mind proved dangerously
unsound, they would take the initia-
tive in having him committed to some
institution. The father. Judge Paul
Charlton had previously said that he
believed Porter to be crazy.
Thus there is a possibility that
Charlton may walk from Jail a free

Charlton answered test questions
of the alienists from shortly before

difference. After the examination,
Attorney Clark said that no definite
conclusions had been reached and

made tomorrow. DR.. Arlitz, who Wis
tied Charlton in his cell this morning
said before the afternoon conference
that he did not doubt that the boy
was partially insane, but he would not

Charlton had.

GIRLS LOCKED IN CAR.
Unconscious Victims of Boys Malic-
iOus Prank Almost Perished.

New York. June 24-Unconscious,
little Italian girls were found this al
ternoon lying on the floor of a
freight refrigerator car, on the Lack
awanna railroad at Seacaucus, n. j.,
near Hoboken. They had been shut
in the car at Buffalo on Tuesday al
ternoon by malicious boys and had
made the journey in their dark
rumbling prison without food or wa
ter. They were nurriedly taken to
Y. NJ. c. A. headquarters at Hoboken,
where stimulants were administered
and both regained consciousness.
They will recover.
The victims of this prank, which
almost resulted in double murder, are
Mary Monia and Nunzia Bifulco, ten
and eight years old respectively, both
of Indiana street, Buffalo. They fail
ed to return home after having gone
to the freight yard in Buffalo and, as
Stunning that they had been imprison-
ed in car, the police there notified
the railroad authorities to be on the
lookout. Search of a long string of
cars finally resulted in the rescue
The children's survival of the or
deal is remarkable. They were in
the car nearly Y hours, the atmos-
phere sitting, the car humping over
the rails and Earring their frail bod
les. They were lured into their NOV
ing prison by promises of finding
bananas.

u. Y. M. BACCALAUREATE
Sermon to Graduating Class Preached
by President N. II. BUckham-The
Pietistic Element of Religion.

Burlington, June 26-President
Matthew II. Buckham preached the
baccaleaureate sermon before the
graduating class of the University of
Vermont this afternoon at the First
Congregational church, in the pres
ence of a large and fashionable au-
dience. His text was found in Rom
ans 1911, Not slothful in business;
fervent in spirit, serving the Lord"
He spoke in part as follows
This chiefest of the apostles, this
man most human and most sanity,
who represents to us at the same time
supreme good sense and the highest
spirituality, appears to think that the
same man may be a very active man
and very religious. He evidently
does not think that because man is
very earnest in every day affairs he
is unlikely to be equally earnest in
his religion, nor, because he is man
of reverence toward God, man of
faith and prayer, that he is likely tc
be a narrow minded man and hypo-
critic. In fact, our scriptures through
out seem to imply that to be a busy
and prosperous man and to be a man
of piety involve no incompatibility--
call for no surprise. There are eX-
MI Of h oI,
are convincing of the truth of this
statement. Perhaps more convincing,
however, are examples of inconspic-
uous men whom we personally know
-neighbors, townsmen, men in the
same social circle, in the same church
men whom we know intimately and
of whom we are perfectly and equally
sure that their secular life is siren
uous and their piety genuine and fer
vid.
This is 20 be our thought and our
lesson today-that this union of Sc
cular activity with the temper and
habit of piety is the ideal of human
character-not one admirable and
rare species of excellence but the nor
NAL standard of well being, and we'll

The Christian conception of human
life is not tolerant Of differences. 1t
can bear with and turn to good ac-
count many styles of character, but
Christianity holds up as the complete
man, the man who is not only dill
gent in business, but is fervent in
spirit, serving the Lord-one who
now, as ages ago, is a devout man,
one who fears God and prays to God
always
Piety is nothing less than opening
the soul and keeping the soul open,
to those influences which we rightly
call divine because they imply that
man is truly partaker Of the divine
nature.

contributes to character a certain ele-

AUTO PARADE THE 4TH.
Sentiment Fayors Display of Ma
chimes On National Holiday.

Sentiment seems to be growing for
an auto parade or some other form of
celebration for the Fourth week from
Monday. That there will be less
noise seems assured, from the stand
taken by the officials and most peo-
pie would like to see some other en-
tertainment provided for part, at
least, of the day.
A number of the prominent auto
owners were out of town yesterday
attending the Shriners' field day at
Newport, so that a general canvass
of the motor men could not be made.
The stay-at-homes, however, appear
ed to favor the idea and many of the
merchants are also willing to give
the idea trial.
1t has been suggested that the
Board of Trade might offer prizes for
the best decorated car owned in this
city and others for the best cars
from out of town. There are prob
ably 200 cars within easy distance
of here and greater part of them
would participate. 1t might even
be feasible to have a hill climbing
contest on some Of the hill roads
about here and as a good hill climber
is the favorite car in this section,
such an event ought to be popular.
There are lot Of ways of celebrat
ing the Glorious Fourth without dan
ger to life or limb and public senti-
ment is steadily setting in favor of
the adoption of some of them. 1t
will probably not be possible to have
anything elaborate here this year but
a beginning ought to be made, ac-
cording to the expressed opinion of
a large number of people.
1t has been suggested that meet
ing of the owners of autos might
held the first of the week to see how
many would take part, so as to have
something to work on.

walton, certain nobility, certain
refinement which naturally grow or
of this conscious union with God. This
certainly1is what it should produce.
The note of piety dignifies all other
acts and duties and brings divine
beauty down Into ordinary human
life A life without piety may be math-
ematically correct-correct according
to arithmetic, but not expansive and
illimitable after the manner of geom-
etry
To leave out of consideration what
the old divines called the God-ward
side Of mans nature, to shut God
out of mans nature and ones heart.
is an unnatural act, crime against
nature. 1t is not only ungrateful, it
is unnatural, it represses the in
stincts of the normal human heart.
We must admit in all candor that
the pietistic element of religion has
not at the present day the prominence
it has had in some former ages of
human history-that it has in fact
come into a certain measure of dis
repute especially in certain climates
and zones of the social and philoso-
phic sphere.
One reason for this is unquestion-
ably the prevalence of counterfeit pi
ETY. and the ease with which true piety
is counterfeited. The worst of any
thing we are taught is the corruption
Of the best. While nothing is more
attractive than genuine piety, nothing
is more loathsome than false piety.
But it is not necessary to believe
that the present state of things is so
serious as was that in the earlier cen
tury. We are not obliged to believe
that the men of culture and philoso-
ply are as unsympathetic and indif-
ferent as their reticence would seem
to imply.
The poorest possible reason for
leaving out of ones plan of life true
piety would be the false piety Of 9TH
ers.
But on the other side it is said what
is needed today is not more religious
ness but more righteousness. Yes, we
need more righteousness, and in Or
der that We may have it, we need
more religion, more piety.
/ mean to emphasize that kind of
religion which brings man into a
face to face, heart TO heart relation
ship with a personal God, which
makes much Of the paternal and
flial society between God and u.s.
May we not believe. or at least
hope, that all this larger and sounder
| knowledge of God which has come to
our age through the revelations Of
God in science, philosophy, history
and life, will make him more real to
us and our relations to him more in
innate.
