ment was reached whereby il vas

ed the New Jersey authorities while
Capt. Scott, u. s. A., brother OF the
murdered woman, was on hand accom-
panied by his counsel, Emil Fuchs.
Acting Italian Consul General Di Rosa
representing the Italian government
took no part in the court proceedings
The court called the attention OF the
lawyers to the fact that the question
had been raised whether he has the
power to take testimony bearing upon
Charlton's alleged insanity and asked
all of the lawyers to submit briefs
dealing with that factor In the case.
Neither Judge Charlton nor any OF
the members OF the accused's family
was In court.
Prosecutor Garven announced later
that the state department had issued
a federal warrant for Charlton, to hold
him as a fugitive from justice. The
purpose of this, he said, was TO pre-
vent Charlton going free should there

county authorities efforts to keep him
prisoner.
Dr. Arlitz, the alienist, accompanied
by George Charlton, the prisoner 3

TRAVELLING MOTOR BANK
FOR ENGLISH VILLAGERS
Chauffeur and Cashier to Com
Stitute Armed Guard

LONDON, Feb. ia novel method
of banking, said to have had it's origin
IN America, will be introduced in the
Brighton district next week by the
imitators of the Peoples bank 1t
will take the form of a motor, which
VIII serve as a travelling bank, going
between those villages which do not
possess any permanent bank.
To begin with. the Farrows will have
only one motor. which will tour the
villages of Sussex and have it's head
quarters at the banks Brighton
branch. The motor will be fitted UP as
a bank in miniature, with the counter
at the rear of the vehicle. The motor
will call at seven or eight villages a
day 1t will halt in the center OF each
village and people will be able to draw
or deposit money or open check ac-
count from one shilling upward.
The motor bank, of course, will carry
a considerable sum % money, and both
the chauffeur and the cashier, who will
form the staff of the travelling bank
will be armed The vehicle will never
travel after dark. If the venture is
success the motor bank scheme will be
extended until there will be similar

LONDON. Feb. 19.-Pictures of pieces
Of crude sculpture, which archaeologists
have assigned to 5000 to 5000 3. C,
were shown at the Royal institution by
the Rev. G. II. w. Johns. who gave an
address on "Assyriology." One of the
fragments discovered represented, he
said the heraldic devices of a town
called Lagash, which showed two ca
giles tearing an animal.
Describing "A big find" at Susa in
j 904 he said that the objects consti-
tuted a deposit of the foundations OF
great temple. They included hundreds
of gold. silver. lead and bronze objects
statuettes. jewelry and an enormous
quantity of stone and clay objects. as
weU as precious stones. Their beauty
and variety were enormous. and all ap-
parently belonged to one period, 1900

had evidently been permitted to put

DOCTORS
ENDORSE
Newbro's S
Herpicide

When a doctor endorses
a preparation it means
more than an ordinary tes-
timonial. His opinion is
always that of the prOfes-
sional man devoted to the
welfare of the people.
DR.. j. j. Boyd, COving-
ton, Tenn, says Il feel
it my duty to write this
for the benefit of those
suffering from dandruff.
In the average case a few
applications of NewbrO's
Herpicide will remove all
dandruff. 1t is advisable
to continue its use for sew
eral weeks. "
The words of j. b.
Thompson, Nj. d., No. =
Bulrough Place, Cor. HOl-
lis St., Boston, Mass, are
not less enthusiastic: Il
can only speak in praise of
NeWbrO' s Herplcide. 1t is
all that is claimed and per-
haps more. Herpicide not
only cleanses the scalp but
brightens the hair, gives it
life and makes it soft. -
DR.. L. A. Moore, Dun
can, Ariz., writes of his
experience: "'My scalp
was in places covered by
patches of dry, scaly ma
terial and the itching was
incessant. Since using
Herplclde all these evils
have disappeared and my
hair is soft, smooth and
growing. Hair has grown
ON spots before but thinly
covered.
Newbro's Herpicide is the
original remedy to kill the
dandruff germ and stop falling
hair. The terrible itching
which goes with dandruff is
allaved almost at once.
Herpicide is for sale at Drug
stores and One Dollar Bottles are
guaranteed Applications may be
obtained at leading Barber Shops

TENOR TELLS WHY THE
LOVE SCENE WAS SPOILED
Lack of Temperament, He Ex-
plains, Due to RepuIses

ROME. Feb. 19.-An amusing letter
appears in the local press of Catania
from the new tenor in the San Georgia
theater. II appears that some days ago
after a performance of Adrienne Lee
couvreur the critics had been unani-
nous in pronouncing the tenor. Bres-
celli, as a good singer. but deplorably
lacking in temperament.
While appearing in the role of a
passionate lover he had not once it
was said, pressed the heroine to his
heart. and In general his whole attitude
to the woman he was supposed to adore
was nothing short of glacial.
Cut to the quick by these adverse
criticisms Signor Brescelli has written
an open letter, in which he makes a full
confession. He says:
There is no doubt that your re-
proacheS are quite justified. | did
not act the lover. but this was not
because l knew not how, but simply
because | dared not. The singer
who was playing Adrienne had for
hidden me severely even from put
ting my arms around her. I am

cuse me of a frigidity which l do
not possess. ] am not TO blame in
the matter. since | was robbed of

FLOPING COUPLE
WENT TO T[NERIFF[
Baroness de Forest and Lieut..
Ashton of Life Guards
Keep Gossip Busy
[ Special Gable 10 The Call

lSpecIdt Gable 10 he Gail
LONDON Feb. 19.-Baroness Arnold
de Forests elopement with Lieutenant
H. c. S. Ashton @iof the Second life
guards continues to be the most eXcit-
ing social topic.
The runaways have been located at
Las Palmas. Teneriffe where they
hoped to escape observation by putting
up in d second rate hotel.
Lord Gerard. brother of the baroness,
has gone out in hope of bringing her
back with him. He succeeded in that
errand when she ran away before with
Ashton, but that time the public knew
nothing of the escapade. There is
quite a different task before him now,
when the affair has been advertised all
over the world.
One of the strangest of the disclos-
ures upon which gossip dwells is that
a desperate love match first brought
together the baroness and the baron.
1t is said that it was at the baroness
instance that the baron procured an
annullment of his marriage with Nine
Menier.
Although not popular with men, the
baron has the reputation of being
woman charmer. Hints are dropped
that his exploits in that direction first
estranged the baroness from him and
prompted her to look afield on her own
account.
