by Ambassador Leishman
Who Insisted the Murderer

ExTRADITION MAY BE
COMPLICATED AFFAIR
Although It Is Reported from
Hoboken, Italy viii Not In

Is Alleged.
(AE1erican News Service1


Rome. Italy, June 24-The foreign
office today received request from
the officers at Como to begin immed
lately extradition proceedings for the
return of Porter Charlton to Italy to
be tried for the murder of his wife.
The arrest of Charlton in America
has caused tremendous sensation in
official circles because of the stand
taken by Ambassador Leishman and
Consul Caughey in insisting that
Charlton was himself a victim with
his wife.
The secret service declares that If
the matter had been left in the hands
of the American officials, Charlton
probably would have escaped. at least
however, by keeping close watch on
vessels was enabled to give the first
hint that he was on board the Prin-
cess Irene.
The extradition proceedings will re-
suit in a muddle over the construc-
tion of the present treaty on that sub
ject between the two countries. As
the Italian government has held that
the treaty did not provide for the sur
render of its own citizens it is believ-
ed here that the United States may
take the same action or use the pres
ent situation as a lever by which to
bring about an effective agreement by
which Italy will he forced To currondor
her citizens wanted in America.

It Has Been Indirect Cause of
One Death and One Genu-
inc Prostration Is Result
Here to Date. -.
LOCAL PHYSICIANS
GIVE GOOD ADVICE
Warn People to Eat SparingIy
and Not to Partake of Very
Cool Drinks Don't Eat
Very Much Meat.

Although there has been hut one
genuine heat prostration case report
ed by the physicians Of the city, there
has been death and an unusually
large number of cases of sickness due
to the warm weather.
The case of heat prostration was
that of the four year old child of
Fred Weaver and wife. residents of
Happy Hollow" The child was play
ing in the sun. near the river and
was overcome. Its condition was at
first serious but it is improving rapid
ly. The death of Levi Routsom, en-
ployed at the Pennsylvania freight de-
pot, earlier in the week was due to
heart trouble, induced by over heating
of the body. ....,
No Serious Cases.
Stomach trouble are unusually pre-
valent at present, according to the
physicians. In nearly every instance
the ailment is due to the warm wealth
er. Very few of these cases are of a
serious nature and recovery is assur-
ed after few days Of quiet and rest
in as cool a place as possible. The
heat has been especially severe on old
persons and babies.
Not SO much the fact that it has
been unusually warm as the fact the
weather change was too sudden Is
blamed by physicians for the exist
ing conditions. Many were still wear
ing their heavier clethins- when the
sudden change came and in changing
clothing suitable for the season, all
ments resulted.
Some Sound Advice.
If advice of the physicians is fol-
lowed people will be very careful
about what they eat and drink. Ice
cream and very cold drinks are not
expected to improve ones health.
Physicians are also advising their pa
tients to diet and not eat much meat.
Yesterday was the warmest day of
the year and one Of the warmest in
June for the past ten years. The ther-
mometer touched the 95 degree mark
In the afternoon. At the pumping
station this afternoon about / o'clock
1t was 81 degrees and Walter Vossler,
who is close observer of weather
conditions, expected a little later in
the afternoon it would be even warm

for the week are as follows: Sunday,

GOVERNOR TO CALL
ELECTION VERY SOON

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. %. Although
the hearing before the secretary of
state of the objections filed by Guthrie
citizens is still pending, Secretary of
State Bill Cross has submitted the
ballot title to the Oklahoma City bill
providing for an immediate election
on the location of the state capital, to
Governor c. N. Haskell for his action
calling special election. 1t is under
stood that the governor intends to call
a special election at once to vote on
that proposition and also upon the pro-
posed amendment to Article nine, Sec
tion nine, of the constitution and the
Taylor general election law.
The Guthrie objectors claim that
the action of the secretary of state in
submitting the ballot title while the
hearing is pending is unwarranted
and Illegal and they will appeal to the
courts either for a writ of injunction
to prevent the calling of the election
or for a writ of prohibition to prevent
the holding of an election, if one is
called.

SPECIAL SESSION
DOWN TO WORK
Initial Documents Are Read to House
And Senate Fixes income of
County Officers.

Guthrie. Okla. Jan. 22.-Bills to
limit the fees and salaries of county
officers, which is supposed to be the
primary object of the present session
were the first ones introduced in both
houses. Durham of Pottawatomie
county is the author of the house bill
and Smith of Duncan, who has led
the fight on this subject. of the one
introduced in the senate. Senator
Smiths bill also fixes the fees of the
clerk Of the supreme court and Grim
inal court of appeals, now fixed by
those courts themselves.
A sliding scale of salaries for coun-
ty and superior judges, based on pop
ulation, is provided by the Durham
bill. The salaries range from 81 200
in counties of not more than 10000
population to $2,40O in counties of
over 10000. The salary of the coun-
ty attorney is to be the same as that
of the county Judge, and the COM
missioners in counties of over 10000
population may in their discretion al
low an assistant at SIS per month.
The salaries of sheriffs are also
fixed according to population, rang
ing from $1,000 in counties of not
more than 10000 population to $4,000
in counties. of more than 10000 pop
ulation, and allowing one deputy for
each 10000 population or major frac-
tion, thereof, at a salary of 500 per
month. County clerks are to get only
$1,000 in counties of not more than
10000, running as high as $4,000 in
counties over $4,000 with allowance
for one deputy at SIS in the discre-
tion of the commissioner in counties
Of 10000 or less and $S5 in the larger
counties.
Clerks of the district and superior
courts are to receive $1,S00 per year,
to be paid out of fees earned and
already collected, and 10 per cent of
fees earned and collected above that
amount. Registers of deeds are to
receive $1,000 and 25 per cent of ex-
cess fees.
An interesting alternative is pro-
yided in the case of county attorneys
carrying fiat salary of $1,000 per
year for all counties, and in addition
certain fees for securing convictions,
as follows: For death penalty, $10O;
for burglary, rape or arson in the
first degree, SIS; for any other fell
ony, $50; for judgments of quasi
nature, $25; for misdemean-
or convictions in justice court, $40;
in any other court, $35.

TO GET BUSY WITH
SAVINGS BANK BILL
President Taft Wants Senate to Begin
Redeemlne Pledges Of the
Republican Party.

Washington, Jan. 20. President
Taft read in the papers yesterday that
the senate was marking time while
the house is struggling with the var,
ions appropriation bills. So he sent
for Senators Penrose of Pennsylvania
Crance of Massachusetts and Carter
OF Montana and asked why it would
not be a good thing for the senate to
get busy" on some of the measures
he has recommended Senator Aldrich,
being absent from the city, was not
included in the summons.
| The president broaehed the subject
of the postal savings bank bill. All
three of the senators thus summoned
to the White House this afternoon are
members of the committee on post
offices and postroads. Mr.. Penrose is
chairman. Senator Carter is sponsor
for the measure
But some senators, it was suggested
in reply to the president, are not warm
advocates of postal banks. In fact,
1t was said that such states as Massa-
chusetts. and Pennsylvania, great
strongholds of savings institutions,
are not at all in favor of the scheme.
But, the president argued, the republi-
can platform called for postal savings
banks, and surely the senators were
going to redeem the party pledges.
But what about the house? This
was propounded as poser.
President NTaft is said to have as
sured the senators that they need not
worry about the house. 1t is said that
there is every. reason to believe that
the house is coming around all right;
that its members are coming to the
president for the very good reason
that they have no other place to go.
It's a case of water running down
hill,' said one of the presidents call
ers today. He doesn't have to 60 to
the regulars or the insurgents, either.
They have got to come to him. Every
man on Capitol Hill is looking for an
other term and he's got to have some
thing to go before the people on. Con-
gress has got to do something and
all the republicans, regardless of the
fight against Cannon or the rules com
mittee, are going to vote for Mr.. Taft's
measure

Asks Big Appropriation
For Care Of the Insane

The following is an extract from
Governor Haskell's message to the
special session of the state legisla-
ture:
At your last session you made an
appropriation of 100000 to build an
Eastern State Insane Asylum near
the town of Vinita, on 10 acres of
land to be furnished by the citizens
of that community. Before beginning
the expenditure of the 100000 in
buildings on this land, I advised the
other members of the state asylum
board to visit the several insane asy-
lums in the states of Illinois and In
diana in order to better qualify our
selves to properly handle such an i'm
portant question, This committee
visited these institutions, made a
careful investigation and reported to

best results were obtained where the
area of land was equal to substan-
TALLY two acres per inmate. and that
from 600 to 500 inmates was the num-

felt that to spend 100000 building on
