LENTz RESENTS
|NO0RsE MENT OF
GOVERNOR FORT
The Major Reiterates the Harsh
Terms Previously Applied
to Executive.

That old General Apathy" is in con-
troll of the Republican hosts hereabouts
just now and q fair sample of the rea-
son why is found in the failure of
Major Carl Lentz, for the first time in
thirty years. to attend a State Repub-
lican convention.
Puts 1t Up TO Fort.
Asked what he thought of the work
of that body. Major Lentz, in his own
terse way, said:
"The Endorsement of MIR. Forts nd
mInistrntion by the Republican state
convention has doubled the already
heavy burden TINT the Republican
party will have to carry in this cam
paign. 1t was an uncaIIed-fOr slap at
the 4,500 gentlemen of the medical pro-
fession who by resolution in their state
convention designated Mr.. Fort as n
disgrace to the State. MIR. Fort says
he is going to travel in Europe, but the
Republican party will have to stay and
face a situation that he created."
Further than that the major, who is
perhaps Ohe VI tlie DeSt-hlOWll ttepuu-
licans in the State, had nothing special
to say, He simply added that had he
attended the convention he would have
openly fought the Endorsement Of the
Fort administration and told the rea-
son why in language that all present
might understand.
Major Lentz had no criticism Of the
candidate to make.
His objection was to what he con-
sidered the lack of judgment on the
part of the leaders who are now in
control permitting the Endorsement of
an administration which the major be-
lieves has brought the party to the
verge of inevitable. defeat.

Brother of Murdered Wife

Big Crowd Gathers in Jersey
City Court to See Lake
Como Wife=Slayer.
[From a staff Correspondent ]

JERSEY CITY. Sept. 21.-Before the
hearing to determine whether Porter
Charlton, confessed slayer of his wife
at their villa, Lake Como. Is a fugitive
from Italy was begun this morning,
Captain Henry II. Scott, brother of the
dead woman, submitted to a search of
his pockets before he took his place in
the courtroom.
This step was taken because Scott
had threatened to wreak vengeance on
his sisters slayer. AT the request of
Sheriff Kelly, Scott stepped into the
corridor and was searched. No weapon
was found upon him. During the hear
ing a deputy sheriff stood at Scouts
shoulder,
The morning session was consumed
by the arguments of counsel regarding
the admission of papers submitted by
the Italian vice-consu1 in New York,
Gustavo Di Rosa. At the conclusion of
the debate Judge j. II. Blair admitted
the certificate for arrest in evidence.
but the dossier, comprising the other
papers in the case, remained on the
table.
Court Room FILLED.
There was considerable delay in
starting the proceedings. At the ap-
pointed hour the courtroom was filled
to it's utmost capacity. There was a
notable absence of women, there being
but three present.
Charlton's entrance was the occasion
for a stir among the spectators. He
was pale and careworn, showing I'M
mistakable efforts of. the continent he
has experienced. He was also so
nervous that while chatting with his
counsel and father it was necessary
for him to sit down before he could
regain his composure. His attire was
immaculate.
The prisoners counsel were. r.. Floyd
Clarke, former Senator w. b. Edwards
and Edward I. Smith. The elder
Charlton also sat at the counsel table
and consulted with the lawyers. Prose-
cutor Pierre p. Garvin conducted the
CASE for the State.
The first witness was Mr. Di Rosa,
who submitted the papers of the Ital-
ian government demanding Charlton s
extradition. In all there were two
suit cases full of documents.
Mr.. Clark, speaking in behalf of his
associates, opposed the admission of
the papers on the ground that they
had not been submitted to the Judge
within the forty-day limit provided for
in the extradition treaty of 1884 be-

CHICAGO, Sept. M.-A telegram
from Senator Buckley, of Connecticut,
a member of the Lorimer investigation
committee, stating that he would not
be in Chicago until tomorrow, presaged
another day of inactivity among the
five members of the committee who are
now on the ground.
Senator Bulkeley's telegram was re
ceived today by Senator Burrows,
chairman of the committee. Senator
Burrows said he hoped to hear later
from the other absentee, Senator

The committee men now here will

the absence of the full membership it
is said to be improbable that methods
of procedure, the first matter to be
considered, will be discussed.

When the party got back to the

Smoloch cooked the stuff. Mrs. Koblsta

PLOT TO KILL

Suspects Are Under Arrest and
Will Be Tried in
Secret.

TOXIC, Sept. 21-A sensation was
created by the publication this after
noon of the alleged details of plot
among his own subjects to assassinate

This is the first time in the history
of the country that the life of the
sovereign has been plotted against by
his own people and the fact known.
Conspiracy Kept Secret.
1t is understood that a rigorous CEN
sorship had prevented the publication
of so much as hint of the conspiracy
until this evening. when the Hochi
Chimbun assumed responsibility for
the alarming announcement.
The papers assertions are nJt with
out q show of authority. There are
now in Jail in this city a number of
persons who are alleged to be active
in the "allied socialist" movement, and
those who may be considered respon-
sible state, as does the Hochi Shimbun,
that the arrests followed the discovery
of a conspiracy against the throne.
According to the paper, the assassins
planned to accomplish their end while
the emperor was visiting the military
school just outside the capital. The
plot was discovered in time to protect
his majesty and the plotters were
seized at once.
