FRIENDS DECLARE
CHARL TON INSANE
HIS E1radltIba to Italy WlIlIBe
Resisted.

New York, June. 25.-Extraditfon or
Porter Charlton to. Italy to be tried for
killing his wife. formerly Mary Scott
Castle, will be resisted on thssground
that the youth is mentally unsound.
On. the other hand the brother of
the dead woman, Captain Henry Har.
risons Scott Of thssc coast artillery, will
do everything in his power to secure
young Charlton's extradition and his
punishment in Italy for the crime;
which was worldwide mystery until
Charlton was arrested on landing here
and confessed to having murdered his
bride in their villa on the shores of
Lake Como, jamming her body into a
trunk and throwing it into the con-
venient waters.
Charlton went through the ordeal Of
arrangement before Recorder Meow
ern in Hoboken, his counsel appearing
in his stead and securing an adjourn
ment Of the hearing until next Tues
day. The youthful prisoner was or
dered committed meantime to the
Hudson county jail in Jersey City,
while officialdom and eminent legal
minds struggled with the problem pre-
scented by differences between Italian
and American laws bearing on the
case and the points of the federal
jurisdiction in the matters which re-
main to be considered.

A few days ago, we stated that
we would support Walter Smith for
treasurer even though we had
supported Al Kaiser for the
nomination. We said this after
we had printed the story about the
Smith money here before the con-
vention so that we know what
charges we would have to stand. But
the Duluth Herald goes a step too
far and we feel that we must
reply or lose our self respect.
Saturday the Herald published
the following clipping in its
political column:
Says the Pioneer:
1t is a well-known fact that
Smith himself has not enough money
to be buying votes and delegations
in the convention, and aside from
the fact that he and his hackers
were willing to 20 such lengths, it
looks shady when he has so much
money to cirulate.'
This is so entirly indefensible as
to give rise to question as to the
mental state of the writer or person
responsible for the publication of the
artical.
If ever a clean, honorable fight
for nomination to a state Office was
made, it surely was that made by
Mr.. Smith and his friends. No such
limitations as these made by the
Bemidji Pioneer were even
whisped at St. Paul, and there is
absolutely no justification for pub
fishing such charge, yelled as it is
in ambiguous terms and not hewing
close to any definite line of accusa-
ton.
Mr.. Smith made friends in every
delegations sent to the convention,
and no one there, or elsewhere, will
give credence to the Pioneers slurs."
The story printed in the Pioneer
was absolutely true and we know
who was offered money to bolt for
Smith. If the Duluth writer, or any
other, wants to know anything more
of the matter, he can come to US in
private.

UPH0LDS SENATE. PLAN

Desires House conferees on RecIana-
ton Bond Issue Bill to Accept the
Measure Passed by the Upper
Branch-No Money to- Be Available

proved by Congress.
Washington, June 25.-In an effort
to hasten congress toward adjourn
ment, the president had as luncheon
guests Senators Lodge, Bailey and
Smoot and Representatives Payne and
Dalzell, conferees in relation to the
bond issue bill now pending in con-
ference. The house members insist
that the senate, in changing the provi-
sions of the house bill so as to vest
more discretion in the president in
approving reclamation projects on
which the $20,000,00O bonds are to be
expended, violated hard and fast
agreement made to make the house
bill intact. The house provision re-
curing the inspection of such projects
by the engineer corps of the army was
struck out by the senate.
The president told the house con-
ferees that he preferred the SEN
ate bill to the house bill, but that if
the house members felt they could not
meet his wishes he would take what
ever legislation he could get.
Representative James Tawney.
chairman of committee on appropria-
tons, said that no money would be
made available at this session for the
public buildings authorized by the
omnibus bill just agreed to in con-
ference.
Members will have to be content
with the authorization made for build
ings and sites. The failure to appro-
pirate money at this time for new
public buildings will not make for de-
lay in their construction. Even if
funds were available Supervising Arch
itect Taylor would be unable to begin
work On new buildings for more than
a year. Mr.. Taylor has Informed the
leaders that there is no immediate
need for the s19,0O0,0OO or more carried
in the omnibus bill.

CAN REGULATE
STOCK ISSUES
Attorney General Defends
Administration Plan.
NOT A RADICAL STEP.

Head Of Department. Of Justlcs Calls
Attention to the Fact That opposl-
ton Has Been Made to Every Pro.
eressive Measure Of Commerce
Re9uiarion-Address Causes a
Slump in Prices at New York.
Chicago, June 25.-In a vigorous de-
tense of the power of the national gov
eminent to legislate on the subject Of
the issuance of stocks and bonds by
railroad corporations, subject to the
interstate commerce act. Attorney
General George w. Wickersham spoke
for an hour before the illinois State
Bar association. The basis for his
talk was the provision in the new rail-
road law authorizing the president to-
investigate questions pertaining to the
issuance of stocks and bonds by rail-
road corporations and the power of
congress to regulate them. -
The enactment of such a law, he
commended, was not nearly so radical a
step as was the enactment of the per-
missive act of 1866 which gave to a
railroad corporation of one state the
right to carry on interstate commerce
on the interstate commerce act of
1887. The attorney general pointed
out that opposition had been made to
every, progressive measure of com.
MERGE regulation.
But" he declared, in closing his
speech, "the centralizing tendency has
gone steadily on, and the control Of
congress over interstate railroad COM
panies has been exercised in an. in
creasingly comprehensive manner
Such progress is inseparable from
growth.
Central Regulation Is Essential.
"The great arteries of communica-
ton between different parts OF the
country and the instrumentalities
which control their operation can only
be properly regulated in the public in
terest by the central national power;
power which is sovereign. which is
exclusive when exercised; and which
should be- exercised to correct every
evil of public character which ex-
perience demonstrates to be suscepti-
bic of correction only by national leg.
islation.''
Numerous legal authorities were
cited by the attorney general, from
which he declared it may confidently
be asserted that, while congress may
itself create corporations for the pur-
pose of carrying on interstate COM
MERGE, it may also prescribe rules and
regulations under which a corpora
ton created by the laws of state
may conduct such commerce, and that
when it does SO such stateGcorporation
might engage only insssuch~ commerce
In conformity with the rules and regu-
lations so laid down by congress; and
that these rules may have reference
not only to the exchange of goods and
commodities, but to the subject, the
vehicle and the agent of such com.
merce and their various operations
