Accused Man Breaks Down Under
Strain and Weeps.
UNITED STATES MAY ANSWER
Surrender of Prisoner to Romo is
Matter Of Diplomacy.
FINE LEGAL POINT IS RAISED
Foreign office at Rome Has often
Refused to Return Italian Citi-
Eens wanted for Crime In
This Country.

ROME, June 27.-The foreign office today
decided to follow the provisions of the ltal-
ian-American extradition conventions and
to ask for the extradition Of Porter Charl-
ton, leaving II with the American author
titles to accept or refuse the request
with this decision the Lake Como muir
der case enters the realm of diplomacy,
and the outcome OF the exchanges between
Rome and Washington will be followed
with an interest quite outside that attach
ing to the murder of Mrs. Charlton. As
soon as 1t was known here that the con-
fessed slayer was under arrest in the
United States, the ministry of justice rec
ognized the unusual situation in which the
Italian authorities were placed and referred
the whole matter to the foreign office.
Fine Legal Point Raised.
Extradition between the United States
and Italy is provided for in the conven-
tions of 1868 and 1884, but Italy has always
held that these treaties did not cover the
cases of Italian citizens who, having com-
mitted crimes in the United States, escaped
to their native country. In such instances
the government has insisted that the ac-
cused be tried in the courts of their coun-
trymen. Several times requests for extra
dition OF Italian criminals from the Amer
lean State department have been refused.
In the present case the government deter
mined to put the matter up to Washington
Should the American State department fol-
low the precedent established by this coun-
try and refuse the extradition of Charlton,
it's action will be construed as a recog-
milton of the equity of the Italian interpre-
tation of the extradition conventions pro-
yiding, of course. that the refusal is not
based on the grounds that the prisoner Is
insane or Cor any reason other than that
he is an American citizen.
Charlton in slate of Collapse.
NEW YORK, June H.-Italy's decision to
apply for Porter Charlton's extradition, an
nounced today, is believed here to be likely
to hasten decision on the pending ques-
ton of his mental condition.
Coincident with the news from Rome.
| too comes word from Jersey City, where
the confessed wife murderer is confined,
pending his arraignment tomorrow on the
charge of being a fugitive from Italian JUS
| tics that the young prisoners breakdown
of yesterday had been followed by a night
of sleeplessness with frequent spells when
the youth seemed to lose control of him
self and to break into sobs and means.
His condition today was considered worse
than last night when Warden Sullivan
sent in a hurry call for physicians.
Already Charlton has been examined by
the group of alienists engaged by his
father Judge Paul Charlton, to determine
his mental state, and DIR. w. j. Arltz, who
saw the prisoner when he was in his state
of collapse, declared himself confirmed In
the opinion he had previously expressed
that Charlton was suffering from a form
of dementia.

WILL COUNCIL RECONSIDER?

W. ONDER whether City Council tonight will
v reconsider its Oiundei in paying such big
price for the playground--or athletic field, we
stand corrected-where city and country meet on
the western border of the city? AS each Demo
cratic administration rolls around coward the end
of the fiscal year the taxpayers hear the ia
miliar cry of deficit and not enough money to
meet the demands of the municipal government
OF course shall hear this old complaint as the
present administration progresses toward June
next. II is more to be expected than ever after
SAL 900 has been 81 extravagantly spent by Coun-
Gil and the cause of a deficit will not be wondered
at so much il has been in the past. The city
will never be able to make its receipts meet its
expenditures so long as Council reckessly doles
out money as it did for the four and one-half
, acre tract on the city's edge, far from the
tiers of population and at price which generally
is considered very high Nobody can blame an
of property for getting the highest price
he can for it, whether the purchaser be a muni-
cipality or individual but it certainly is funo-
tion of Council TO that il does not pay an
excessive price for land, anything else it buys.
The same principles should be applied to acqur-
ing property for the city as would be applied in
private business. Would any of the Councmen
seeking land for his individual purpose have paid
$4,000 for the four and one-half acre tract sit
uated as it is? 1t simply is another evidence Of
Democratic mismanagement in administering pub
lie affairs, and Council might remedy matters
somewhat by taking the public into its confidence,
instead of permitting questionable acts like that
of Chairman Kane the Democratic leader
and his finance committee rushing through the
playground deal as they did without the people
being given any advance details of the affair
The high price paid for the Ford property and
the haste to pay the money and close the trans
action certainly have laid Council open to the
widespread criticism it is receiving.

GROWTH oF WILMINGTON.

MHAT is the matter with Wilmington asks
w correspondent of The Evening Journal,
after pointing out that the census of the city dis
closes population of 874ll and a proportionate
increase in growth far below that of many cities
that ten years ago we're in the same classih-
cation. This query is in the minds of many
Wilmingtonans The comparison of Whining
tons census with that of other cities and the man.
ner in which Wilmington has fallen behind the
population pace set by many other municipalities
is furnishing food for much speculation and
thought. Allowing for errors in the census enum-
Grafton, Wilmington would be far below the 10000
mark which many persons had estimated as the
city's population.
1t is true that Wilmington is expanding and
extending its residential eavirons, but the devep
opment along industrial lines has not been what
many would like to see. That the city should
not utilize the vast expanse Of frontage along
the Delaware river Aor industrial purposes is be-
,e.end the comprss. sion Of many visitors to Will
,a1sson. The <Fci front is an asset to possess
which many city, lacking such advantages, would
pay very high price yet Wilmington has gone
alcng leaving the river frontage with its industrial
and shipping possibilities undeveloped and not
contributing to the growth of the city.
Wilmington will never grow as it should until
progress is made in upbuding the land toward
the Delaware, until big manufactures are located
there and wharves are established at which the
largest vessels can take and discharge cargoes.
Possibly it is because corporate interests and pri-
vate interests closely allied with them hold the
key to the river front situation that the industrial
and shipping facilities there have not been utilized
Then there is bulkhead half finished, along
the most promising portion of the Delawares
frontage which forestalls shipping development
there. We have heard it said, too, more than
once, that concerns desiring sites along portions
of the citys river front failed locate there be-
cause of the high price asked for sites. We recall
that recently large shpbuilding concern looked
over the river front of Wilmington and vicinity
and it has failed 10 locate here, although it has
under consideration a very generous offer of the
park al Gordon Heights a site
There are many who wonder, too why the Bald
win Locomotive works could not have settled upon
site near the river front for the big plant that
built at Eddystone. With a few concerns like
that induced to establish in Wilmington and with
the opening up and utilizing of the facilities and
possibilities of the Delaware river front Whining
ton should 60 forward by leaps and bounds The
Board of Trade should have the support and en-
couragement of every well-wsher of Wilmington
in its efforts TO advance the city's manufacturing
supremacy

lican party to be held at Dover will
nominate a candidate for the Slxty1
second Congress, and the Chronicle
is unequivOcally in favor of the re-
nomination of the Hon. William H.
Head, and will support his candidacy
when nominated We feel it to be the
duty of every voter of Milford and
Cedar Greek hundreds, regardless Of
political opinions, to support him,
as he has done more to assist this
community in the way of improvement
to our waterway than any man who
has preceded him; having secured
the munificent sum of fifty thousand

Treasurer will be conceded to Sus-

ID. o. Moore, has made an excellent
record in the Office, we advocate his
nomination. The feeling is extent and

are informed that a name will be

that commend its endorsement of a

DEFENDS SPECIFICATIONS
OF THE NEW HIGHWAYS

Editor of EVENING JOURNAL
In the issue of the Every Evening of
August 18th, there appear
ed an article criticising the New Cas-
tie County State Highway Commits
sioner and the Levy Court of New
Castle County, for what the writer of
the editorial claims as Disregard of
practical suggestions" from DR. Lord,
of the National Office of Good Roads,
who in a letter read before the Levy
Court at its meeting on Tuesday, Au-
gust 18th, made suggestions to the
highway authorities as to what was
the best course to pursue in the con-
struction of good roads. In the edi-
torial, the statement is made, that
the specifications do not cover, and
are deserving OF criticnsm with re-
CARDS to the efficiency and durability
as outlined by DR.. Lord. The article
also goes on to state that "Dr. Lord
is acknowledged to be one of the
greatest experts on the subject of
bodybuilding in this country" and
that the so-called disregard of his
advice would be very detrimental to
the interest of the county and the tax
payers in general" The judgment of
the local engineer. who prepared the
specifications, is also subject to crit
icism, and pronounced faulty in es-
sentail details. The statement was
also made that the Charges were
reasonable, could be introduced, no
doubt, with little bearing upon the
bids submitted for the performance
of the work"
In the interest of justice and fair
dealing, it is no more than right that
this statement should be refuted.
The letter received from DR.. Lord,
and read at the meeting of the Levy
Court. had but one criticism to make
of the present state highway specifi-
cations. That criticism was that
Stag should be used as a binder be-
tween the different courses of stone,
and that bituminous binders should
be used in general construction"

of the editorial that the specifications

missioner, contained every form of

PURE FOOD FOR HENS.

WHAT would the butchers and farmers who
have been complaining about the efforts of
the Board of Health to protect meats from con-
tamnauon do if they had to deal with the State
Board of Health of Kansas. The humble hen is
coming in for more than the ordinary amount of
attention from the Kansas Board. The hen is not
very particular about what she eats and il is not
recorded that the high class hen is very discrim-
mating. The ten thousand dollar Peggy that is
the ten thousand dollar hen on paper, would be
just as liable 10 eat contaminated food as the
hfty cent barnyard.
The Kansas Board has discovered that the quail
ity OF the hens egg depends upon the kind of food
the fowl eats, and il intends to reform the con-
Eliminated egg evil in Kansas by demanding that
hens be fed only pure food. Expert poultrymen
have long contended that the quality OF the egg
depends largely upon the food eaten and as it is
knows that the eggs of some high bred fowl are
better and look prettier than the ordinary kind.
Kansas may soon have certified eggs guaranteed
70 come from pure fed hens.
