Beverly, Mass. July 17.-President
Taft to-day stated. with more en-.
phasts than he has heretofore en-
ployed, the position he is taking with
regard to Republican State platforms
and candidates The President does
not think he should be called upon

AS to planks in the state platforms

tails Of the different planks. Under no
circumstances, the President let 1t be-
known. would he express an opinion
as TO candidates

The friends of James r. Garfield are
hopeful that the delegates may turn
to him. but the State leaders declare
Mr. Garfield cannot be nominated The

talked of is Representative Nicholas

Mr.. Longworth much prefers to re-

REORGANIZATION DUE
Steps VIII BE Taken to Straishten Out
Marine Corps.

Steps VIII BE Taken to Straighten Out
Marine Corps.
Washington, D. c., July 17.-That
the Marine Corps faces certain reor-
ganization. as the result of the pro-
nouncement by court of inquiry that
throughout the corps, seems to be the
prevailing opinion of naval officers on
duty at the department.. The serious
condition of the service was held to
be due primarily to too long terms
OF service by officers without changes
Of assignment. The question OF re-
organization probably will be consider
ed this week.
Radical changes may be made. The
reforming of the entire system OF
assignment would not surprise those
who have been following the course
of events. The object OF this reform
would he to give the staff assignments
in Washington a limited tenure of
Office. In the past they have been
practically permanent.
The records OF the officers concerns
ed in the recent inquiry show that
General Elliott, commandant, has been
on his present duty in Washington
since October 8, 1905; Colonel Charles
II, Lauchheimer. the adjutant and in
spector at headquarters. since De-
cember Ii. 1904; Colonel Frank Denny.
quartermaster. since June 81. 1895
Lieutenant-C Colonel Henry c. Haines,l
assistant adjutant, since May 30, 1905.
and Major David d. Porter, assistant
adjutant, since May IS. 1905. All OF
these have been on a cruise or on
tour OF sea duty within the last ten
years except Colonel Denny whose
record shows that the expiration OF
his last cruise on sea duty was Oc-
tober, 1850, or twenty-one years ago.
There is probability that when
the next commandant is appointed to
succeed General Elliott, on his re-
tirement next October. his term Of
office will be limited 10 four years,
the same as the chief OF staff OF tho
army, and the heads of the bureaua
In the Navy Department..

SOME ACTION SOON
Decision in Charlton Cnse May Be Made
This Week,

This Week.
Washington. D. c., July lI-Deyel-
oprnents in the Porter Charlton extra
dition case are expected at the State
Department this week. following the
receipt from Rome OF the formal appli-
cation for the removal Of the young
American to Italy for trial on a charge
of having murdered his wife at Lake
Como. 1t is known that diplomatic
exchanges as to the positions of the
two governments have taken place,
and 1t is expected that some conclu-
sion in this particular will be reached
In few days.
State Department officials uniformly
have declined to discuss the attitude OF
this government. This reticence APP
plies to the query as TO what the
Italy refuses to grant extradition un-
der similar circumstances, namely:
when one of ITS subjects Is charged
with committing a crime in America
and escapes to Italy, .as we'll as to all
other subjects involved In the ex-
changes.
On the subject of the principle OF
the necessity for reciprocity in the ex-
change of persons within their juris-
diction. Acting Secretary of State Will
son expressed his views in 1907. These
VIEWS were IIldOet puOllC LO-Qdy. IN
that year there arose the question of
removing F. Il Jacobs, an American.
from France to Argentina. In stating
the position of the United States, Mr..
Wilson, in a letter to Consul Skinner,
said:
Suppose there were no extradition
treaty in force between the United
States and France, and this country
should ask for the extradition of fu-
gitive who had committed some crime
in the United States and fled to France.
The French government would grant
the same If the United States would
promise that this government would
surrender a fugitive from French juE-
tice charged with the same crime,
should the casa arise. This promise
the United States would be compelled
TO refuse to make following the de-
cision in United States VS.. Rauscher,
since no extradttion treaty authorized
the surrender. France, therefore.iwould
refuse to honor the departments re-
4uest. because this government could
hot promise reciprocity"
