RAISlN RAISERS REFUSE
PACKING FIRMS OFFER
Meeting of Growers Decides the
Price Is Too Low

FRESNO, June 23.-By the action of
q representative meeting of leading
growers of this and surrounding coun-
ties of the raisin belt this afternoon,
the offer of half dozen of the lead
ing packing firms to form a merger
and pay three cents a pound for raj
sins for three years, was rejected. The
packers demanded a signed percentage
of 80 per cent of last ears crop as
a basis, or $4,000 tons.
According to formal resolution the
proposition was rejected because the
price offered was too low and the per-
centage required too high. Growers
present gave the opinion that this
years crop would not amount to 54,-
600 tons, and expressed the belief that
the price would exceed three cents,
according to the law of supply and
demand.
John p Clark who has devoted sew
eral weeks to an effort to bring about
an agreement between packers and
growers, announced he would do moth
ing further.

INSANITY IS DEFENSE
OF SLAYER CHARLTON

NEW YORK, June 29.-Porter Charl-
toms family believe he is insane and
on this ground will try to save him
from paying the murder penalty in this
country or in Italy.
The prisoners father, Judge Paul
Charlton who arrived this evening,
said he would appeal to the federal
authorities for permission to ascer-
tain his sons mental condition, and
that he had no doubt the report of a
sanity board will warrant his confine-
ment in an institution.
H. Floyd Clarke, retained as coGn-
sci by the father. said tonight that the
italian counsel had told him he did
not expect extradition papers from his
government inside of two weeks, and
this period would give Chalton's friends
ample time to determine the question
of his sanity.
There was a touching scene when
father and son met in the Hoboken
police station tonight The elder man
wept bitterly, but the youthful prison
err maintained an air of unconcern. AS
they shook hands the father regarded
him with pity and sorrow.
"It's all right, boy" he said between
sobs, "We'll protect you"
Don't worry, father, he boy replied,
nothing matters anyhow, and it
doesn't make any difference to me-"

in the case of young Charlton. The
italian government has consistently re-
fused to recognize a demand for the ex-
tradition from Italy to America of an
italian who commits an extraditable
offense within the United States. There
Is a reciprocity in such matters which
would prevent the United States in or
binary cases from honoring the demand
of the Italian government for the ex-
tradition of young Charlton. On the
other hand, the italian government al
ways undertakes to try under pro-
provisions of italian law any italian
who is a fugitive from justice for crime
committed in the United States. More
over, the italian government has Sc
verely punished such of these fugitives
as have been found guilty. But it is
entirely without the power of the gov
ernment of the United States to punish
a man for a crime, no matter how
atrocious committed on foreign soil A
writ of habeas corpus would soon re-
lease such a prisoner.
