Director Makes Objection.

Mr. Roberts seven years ago took ex-
ception to my doing outside work. I
told him that would make arrangements
to have it done in other places. though I
said to him that permission had been
given to me and my father by the direc-
tor of the mint and the Secretary Of the
Treasury. After he made the ruling

Maplewood. N. j., and made arrangements
to have the laboratory work done in
Brooklyn. OF course I could not prevent
men sending work to me at the assay
office.
About September I a package came to
me from out of town. A postal card that
came with it notifying me Of the work
was put by mistake on the desk of the
superintendent. When he spoke to me
about 1t ] told him 1t related to outside
matters. 1t seems he wrote to the direc-
tor of the mint saying that outside work
was coming to the assay Office and asked
for instructions.

SUBMITS REPORTS
ON COST OF LIVING
Lines and Claims Funds Were
Lacking for Work.

WASHINGTON. D. c., June 3D.
Republicans and Democrats do not agree
as to the causes for the great increase
in the cost of living between 1900 and
1910
The majority report of the special Sen
ate committee which has been investigat-
ing these questions was submitted to
the Senate today by Senator Lodge
chairman of the committee. A meeting
was held prior to the presentation of the
report and the minority members of the
committee protested against the charac-
ter of the findings.
After a long argument. the minority
was authorized to employ an expert to go
over the report of the majority and pre-
pare the minority views for submission
to the Senate. The report made by
Senator Lodge was an exhaustive one
compiled from testimony given by forty
one witnesses, reports received from con-
suls and from foreign governments. 1t
contains large number of tables giving
the range of prices over the last decade
The majority charges that its work was
restricted by reason Of the refusal of the
Senate to appropriate the $4,000 asked
for by the committee which would have
been used to employ agents in the field.

Italy Will Take Steps
to Extradite Charlton,

NEW YORK, June 23.-The Italian
authorities will seek extradition of
Porter Charlton through the federal
government at Washington, which in
turn will make it's representations to the
state authorities Of New Jersey Thus
the extradftion treaty rights between
Italy and the United States as we'll as
the laws of New Jersey relating to ex-
tradition and requisition, will figure in
the various legal phases now to be
presented. Meantime the prisoner is
held by the local authorities of Hoboken
under the New Jersey laws applying to
fug1tives suspected of serious crimes.
This status will continue until the Ital-
ian authorities take the necessary steps,
ington and after that by the state de-
partment's application to the New Jersey
authorities. The trial and punishment
, must be according to the laws Of Italy
if at all.

Can Charlton Be Held
by American Authorities

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 23.-The
state department is doing some rapid
study of presidents in extradition law
to make sure whether or not an appIica-
ton In behalf Of the Italian government
Will lie in the case of young Charlton
The Italian government has consist
emily refused to recognize a demand FOR
the extradition from Italy to America
of an Italian who commits an extradlt-
able offense within the United States
There is reciprocity in such matters
which would prevent the United States
in ordinary cases from honering the de-
mand of the Italian government for the
extradition of young Charlton. On the
other hand the Italian government al
ways undertakes to try under proyis
ions of italian law any Italian who is
a fugitive from justice for crime com
mitted IN the United States.
Moreover the Italian government has
severely punished such of those fugi-
tives as have been found guilty. But it
is entirely without the power of the
government of the United States to
punish a man for crime, no matter
how actrocious, committed foreign
soil. A writ of habeas corpus would
soon release such person from arrest

Meantime the detectives followed up
their own theory and their most recent
conclusion was that Charlton was a pas
senger upon some steamer which had
sailed from Genoa or other Italian port
for New York.
