to be the favorite i'm all three races.

and that the blue and white will have
n place well to the fore. Syracuse
looms up promisingly. according to the
viewpoint Of others, while Pennsyl-

for the final honors of the race

their long training, and reports from
the different headquarters indicate
that they are in almost perfect physi-
cal condition.

OF OWN CRIME

New York, n. Y. June 2i-Appar-
emily unconcerned over his desperate
plight, Portor Charlton, the confessed
murderer of his WIFE arose early and
calmly awaited arraignmeHt in the
recorders court today.
Charlton sent out for all the papers
and read with evident eagerness ev-
cry story of his own crime that he
could get hold of.
He was occupied thus until toward
time for the convening of court.
An indication of the probable pro-
cedure was given by r. Floyd Clark.
Charlton's counsel. who said that i'm
the event the Italian government
moves for extradition 1T will be two
weeks before the papers can reach this
country and i'm the meantime inquiry
will be made into Charton's sanity.
Will Fight Extradition.
The extradition OF Charlton to tia
ly will be resisted o nthe ground he is
mentally unsound. ON the other hand
the brother of the dead woman, Cap
tain Scott of the coast artillery will
do everything possible to secure ex-
tradition and punishment i'm Italy.
At the request of his attorney, who
asked delay to enable him to study
the case, Charlton's examination was
postponed until Tuesday.
