Friends Of Cady
Have Petitions
Howard County Republican Likely to
Come Out Soon in Race for
Governor.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., June 2.-(Spe-
cial.)-Petitions for filing the name Of A. E.
Cady of st. Paul on the republican primary
ballot for the nomination for governor are
In circulation in his home county of How
ard, In this county and several other ada
cent counties and will be circulated suffi-
GENTLY at least to comply with the require
ments of the statutes.
Mr.. Cady has not as yet indicated defln-
itely that he would consent to the use OF
his name, the recent fire loss of which he
was an unfortunate victim causing him to
give all of his attention to his business
affairs. However, his friends In this sec
ton of the state, where he is best known,
are enthusiastically of the belief that in
him they have candidate who will not
only rank decidedly high when gagged by
the requirements OF a businesslike, capable
square deal sort Of a governor but who can
and who will unite the different elements
of the republican party in this state as nc
other man, so far mentioned, will be able
to do. His ripe legislative experience, his
close interest in the public affairs of Ne
braska for the last thirty years and a
decidedly judicial and calm temperament
are urged as qualification especially desir.
able at this time.
AS the father of the State, Railway com.
mission, which even members of the com.
mission know him to be, pronounces him
as a decidedly progressive republican alone
safe and sure lines-as the personificatior
of progress without wreckage." Little
doubt Is felt here that Mr.. Cady will accede
to the petition to permit the use OF his
name when he learns how strong the de,
mand is for him In this section Of the stat,
and, as far as can be learned, In Other
sections.

CHARLTON MAYESCAPE TRIAL
Quartet of Alienists Will Inquire Into
Young Mans Sanity.
NEXT MOVE Is PRoBLEMATICAL
Italian Foreign office Has Record Of
Crime and IL COnsiderinE the
Question of Asking for
Extradttion.

NEW YORK, June Gas in so many
other murder cases Of worldwide celebrity
the proceedings IN the case OF Porter Charl-
ton. confessed slayer of his wife in Italy,
today bid fair to turn largely on the ques-
ton of the defendants sanity.
1t seemed probable that Charlton's fate
was to be decided by a quartette OF alien
lists. Judge paul Charlton of Washington.
the prisoners father. declares that he
proposes abiding entirely by the decision
reached by the exeprts he has retained to
examine his son and pass on his mental
condition. He believes Porter to be ment-
ally unbalanced
on the other hand, Captain Henry Har-
rson Scott, the murdered woman's brother,
personally aud through his attorney, Emil
Fuchs, indicates his determination to press
the charge against Charlton, bring about
his extradition to italy, II that be possible,
and his trial for the crime. Captain Scott
insists that the youth was and is in full
possession OF his mental faculties.
The alienists engaged by Judge Charlton
are DR.. Charles l.. Dana, Dr. Allan Nc
Lane Hamilton, DR.. Edward S. Fisher and
DR.. William Jerome Arlitz of Jersey City.
Next Move PrOblematicnI.
Charlton stands formally charged with
murder on complaint of Gustavo hi Rosa,
the acting Italian consul here, and has
been committed on the statement that he
is wanted by the Italian government. The
next move will depend on that govern
ment's further action and on the course of
the federal authorities to whom in the
natural course of events Charlton would
be turned over for eXtradition. The au-
thorities of New Jersey now have him in
custody. Prosecutor Pierre Garven of
Hudson county made the following state
ment:
THE state of New Jersey now holds
Charlton merely on the complaint of the
Italian consul general as a fugitive from
Italian justice, pending a request for his
extradition from the Italian department of
state through the Italian minister to Secre-
tsry Knox. II extradition is not demanded
there is absolutely no action the courts of
this state can take. Whether the federal
courts can still step in is a matter outside
my province and on which the attorney gen.
eral of the United States is more competent
to pass opinion"
What Italy May Do.
ROME, June 25.-The ministry of Justice
today transmitted to the foreign office the
evidence in the case of Mrs. Porter Charl-
ton, who was murdered at Lake Como,
leaving the foreign office free regarding
further steps to be taken in the matter OF
extradition from the United States of the
confessed slayer, Porter Charlton.
1t is believed here that the whole affair
will be disposed of through negotiations
between the Italian embassy at Washing
ton and the American authorities.
