ALEXANDRIA, VA.
SATURDAY EVENING, DEC. 10

THE first state delegation boom for
Mr.. Champ Clark, Of Missouri, the
present minority leader, for the speak
ership OF the next Congress, was
launched yesterday when the Kentucky
democrats formally Endorsed him for
the Office. Although Mr.. Clark now
represents the Ninth Missouri district,
he was born in Anderson county.
Kentucky, and the Kentucky congress
men thought it fit that the Glue Grass
state delegation should be the first for
mally to indorse the speakership aspi-
rations Of the minority leader. While
there may be as good, there is proba-
bly no man in the House better suited
for speaker than Mr.. Clark, and the
Virginia delegation at once and unam-
mous!y should pledge him their sup
port. Mr.. Clark for some years past
has been the democratic leader on the
floor OF the House and has well and
ably performed the arduous duties
which devoIve upon the man holding
that position. BY right he should be
promoted to the speakership and from
present appearances he will be without
opposition when the democrat hold
their nominating caucus.

MASuEL,s POVERTY.

A newspaper OF Rome yesterday
printed an interview with Portuguese
parsonage whose name is not mention
ed, but who is said to be prominent
royalist. concerning Manuel II, the
exlled King of Portugal.
Manuel, he says. is poverty-stricken
and unable to choose q place OF resi-
dence, Owing to lack of money the
dethroned king has been compelled
to accept the hospitality of the Duke
OF Orleans at Wood Norton, Eversham,
England. For three months he has
not had means with which to pay his
own servants.
Manuel, according to the interview,
hopes that he will be restored to power,
insisting that a republic in Portugal
cannot exist. His friends predict that
q congress OF the powers will settle
Portugal's affairs, but say that other
wise the royslists are ready to fight
for the restoration OF the monarchy.

CHARLTON SURRENDERED.

Secretary Knox yesterday granted
the request of Italy for the surrender
OF Porter Charlton, who is charged
with the murder Of his wife at Lake
Como, Italy. The secretary holds that
the fact that Italy refuses to surren-
der her citizens to the United States
for trial does not relieve this country
from the obligation OF the extradition
treaty to surrender to Italy fugitivss
from justice from that country. The
question OF the insanity Of Charlton,
it is suggested, is one for the courts
and not for the department to deter
mine.

The Charlton Case.

Trenton, Il. j., Dec. 10.-R. Floyd
Clark, chief counsel for Porter Charl-
ton, whose extradition to Italy has been
ordered by the State Department.
reached this city today. He planned
to apply at once to the United States
Circuit Court for writ of habeas cor
pus to prevent Charlton being turned
over to the Italian authorities to stand
trial for the murder OF his wife, Mary
Castle Charlton, in their villa on the
shores Of Lake Como, Italy.
The secretary Of state had no right
to order the extradition OF Charlton, "
said Clark. Italy having refused to
return criminals to this country for
trial when asked under the terms OF the
treaty, she broke the treaty, and it is
now as though it never existed. The
extradition must be according to law,
and neither the president or secretary
of state can make that law. Congress
has the power and the secretary's state
ment that despite Italy's action in
ignoring the treaty he would observe
its terms shows he is taking on his
shoulders powers: he does not enjoy.
We also plan to prove to the Federal
Court that our client is. insane. II the
court here decides against us We will
appeal to the Supreme Court We in
tend 10 make hard fight to keep our
client from being turned over to the
Italian authorities.
Trenton, Dec. 10.-Charlton's
father, Judge Paul Charlton, who is
the legal advisor of one OF the depart
ments at Washington, with Former
Senator William ID. Edwards, OF Jersey
City, and r. Floyd Clarke, OF New
York, his counsel, today presented tc
Judge Re!lstab petition for writ !,

secure the release OF Charlton. They
also asked for q writ OF certiorari di-
rected to the State Department at Wash
ington and the Hudson county authorl:
ties TO bring the entire record OF the
proceedings OF the famous case into

After argument, Judge Rellstab al
lowed both writs and they were made
returnable at the state house Monday,
December 10. The granting of the
writs, will Of course, prevent the sur
render Of Charlton to the Italian gov.
