decision rendered in the Eighth cir

as to the propriety of taking a Judge
from this circuit and elevating him to

Standard Oil cases.
Judge Vandevanter is regarded as
high authority in land cases. He

These objections are given. They
are, in substance, that the secretary

POSTAL DEFICIT REDUCED.

Of Postmaster General.

Good Showing 10 Made In the Report
OF Postmaster General.
Washington, Dec. 12.-According to
the annual report of Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock. just made public, an
unprecedented reduction in the postal
deficit has been made. without any
curtailment of postal facilities. A
year ago the fiscal records of the post
al service disclosed deficit of seven
teen and a half million dollars, the
largest in the history Of the country
In the space of twelve months re
duction of eleven and half millions
has been made in this deficit, the ex
cess of expenditures over receipts as
reported for the year ended June &c
last amounting to only $5,s48,566
In view of the constantly growing
loss On second class mail. the report
advises the levying Of higher rates ir
such a way that the advance would
be paid by the magazines that carr,
large amounts Of advertising. This
plan, Mr.. Hitchcock believes, woulo
soon warrant 1-cent postage on first
class mail. He again urges the intro
duction Of limited parcelpost serv
ice on rural routes, advises that the
entire postal service be taken out oil
politics and all presidential postmast
ers of all grades from the first to the
third be placed in the classified civil
service, and recommends that a Law
be passed granting thirty days annua,
clerks and city letter carriers anG
also to railway postal clerks who are
required to work six days or more

Decree Of Crime only oue,tion,

Oe9Fee OF crime OnIy QUESTION.
The first objection is answered by
the statement that under the statutes
the magistrates only duty IL to de.
ermine whether an extraditable crime
has been committed and whether the
accused is within the purview of the
treaty.
As to the second objection, which, is
also held invalid, the decision says:
1.-The fact that we have, for reasons
already given, ceased. generally to
make requisition upon the government
of Italy for the surrender of Italian
subjects under the treaty would not
require of necessity that we should,
as matter of logic or law, regard
ourselves as free from the obligation
of surrendering our citizens. we labor.
ing under no such legal inhibition re-
garding surrender as operates against
the government of Italy.
Therefore, since extradition treat.
les should not be reciprocal, even in
the matter Of the surrendering of cit.
liens. it would seem entirely sound
to consider ourselves as bound to sur.
render our citizens to Italy even tho
Italy should not, by reason of the
provisions Of her municipal law, be
able to surrender its citizens to u.s."

Question Of Insanity for the Courts to

His Wife at Lake Como.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Secretary OF
State Knox has granted the request OF
Italy for the surrender of Porter
Charlton, charged with the murder
of his wife in Lake Como. The sec.
rotary holds that the fact that Italy
refuses to surrender her citizens to
the United States for trial does not
relieve this country from the obliga-
lions of the extradition treaty to sur
render to Italy fugitives from justice
from that country.
The question of the insanity Of
Charlton, 1t is suggested, Is one for the
courts and not for the department to
determine.
Had Secretary Knox refrained from
acting on this case for six days, POr-
ter Charlton would have been a free
man, as the statutes require final &C.
ton in the case within 60 days from
the date of his commitment.

DEITz [lu o KhBEAS CORPUS
WISCONSIN SUPREME BENCH
WON'T INTERVENE.
Puts Trial Up to County-Finds no
Injustice Being
Done.

Madison, Dec. 1O.-The supreme
court granted the motion of the state
to quash the writ of habeas corpus
on which ohm Deitz was brought to
Madison. He was remanded into the
custody of Sheriff Madden and was re.
turned to Hayward, where he must
stand trial.
In quashing the habeas corpus, the
state supreme court rendered the fol.
lowing decision, which was announced
by Chief Justice Winslow:
when I allowed the writ in this
case it was very hard for me to see
any solid ground for saying that the
petitioners Imprisonment was illegal.
However, the petition contained the
necessary formal allegations. 1t was
very lengthy and it was presented by
reputable attorneys with great earn
estness and apparently firm belief that
they could make their contentious
good. There also were other facts
which seemed to me worthy to be
considered.
ut is matter of common knowl-
edge to all of us that there have been
many charges recently made to the ef-
lentlessly prosecuted by the courts and
officers of the law, and it seems prob
able that some of our people believe
or suspect that these charges are
true. 1t seems to me that I should be
very careful not to create any situa-
ton which should make it possible for
any one to charge that the door of the
highest court in the state had been
shut upon him without even a hearing
when his attorneys were ready and
anxious to present an earnest and seri-
GUS argument against the legality Of
his Imprisonment.
"The arguments in support of the
writ have now been heard and care
fully considered by the whole court.
The court is unanimous in the opinion
that the motion to quash must, be
granted.
III the writ be considered as used
for the purpose of discharging the Pc
titioner it cannot be effective because
the petition shows on its face that he
is lawfully held under a valid COM
mitttment for criminal offense.
