Il 10 be known that the Administra-

yhaticaliy is of the opinion that Con-
cress should enact legislation pre-
venting the watering Of stocks He
likewise favOrs the Federal control of
the Issuance of securities by corpora

Points TO this effect were developed
in a speech which the Attorney Gen

Association last night Among other
things which met with the applause
OF the hearty approval Of the large
number o. Illinois lawyers present {,
he said
THE Administrator theory seeks to

which appeal may be made in case OF
threatened abuse OF its power of initia-

fore an apparently unwarranteG toll be

theory would destroy all initiative and
substitute Government initiative for that

VIII Be Asked.

JERSEY CITY, n. J., June 25.-Juss
what means shall be employed to pre-
vent Porter Charlton being extradited to
Italy to star1 trial for the murder Of
his wife. Mrs. Mary Scott Charlton,
viii be determined within the next few
days.
Everything hinges on the report 10
Lawyer William D. Edwards, who has
commissioned four alienists, DR.. A. NJ
Hamilton, DR.. Charles A. Dana, Dr.
Arlitz, and DR.. Fisher TO make a
thorough examination of Charlton.
If Sane Must Stand Trial.
If they unite in declaring that he is
insane then every effort will be made
TO nave him sent to an asylum in Nsy
Jersey for treatment.
If. on the other hand, they decide that
he is not insane. but that he under~ands
what he is doing there viii be no op-
position to his being taken back to Italy.
These physicians have been instruct
ed tc tell Us the exact truth" declared
Attorney Edwards today.
Fair Play All That Is Asked.
They have had it made plain to them
by Judge Charlton and myself that #
the boy is sane within the limitations of
the law we must know it and we will
not fight to keep him from being tried
for his crime, All Judge Charlton asks
is fair play
He has been told by doctors that Por-
ter is insane and he has accepted their
statement. Now, we have secured four
OF ;he most eminent aIienists in the
country TO say Just what his mental
condition is"
Viii Ask Haheas Corpus.
So sOoI as the report of the alienists
is made. should they agree that CharI-
ton IS not Of sound mind. application
Will be made for a writ of habeas cor
pus to get him out Of the jail here.
In this way, it is expected, he can be
committed to an asylum where he can
be properly cared for.
This will precipitate a lively fight
Attorney Emil Fuchs, representing Cap
tain Scott, brother OF the murdered
woman, is hard at work compiling data
to show that Charlton is sane. This
cons. .sts Of statements from former
friends of the young bank clerk and
letters that he sent to this country from
Italy, which are perfectly coherent ard
apparently the work Of a normal per-
son.
Spends Quiet Night.
Young Charlton spent a quiet night
I'm his cell in the Jail here. He read
The Last Days of PompeiT' until the
lights were turned out. According 70
the watchman Charlton slept well
throughout the night, and ate breakfas,
today as if he were hungry He then
spent a couple Of hours exercising in
the corridor. CharltOn held himself alool
from the others, but seemed cheerful
and content.
From the barred window Of his cell
Charlton can LOOK directly into the Of
fees of the Public Prosecutor Pierre
Garven, who will represent the State N
all proceedings against him.
Today the jail physician, Dr. Converse
examine Charlton.
Italy Will Try Charlton.
Charlton's case will be tried in Italy,
even if not extradIted. Consul General
Di Rosa said today:
Even though Charlton is n6t sur
rendered to the Italian government. his
he IS convicted he viii be looked upon
as an escaped convict. After that, If
