Secretary Knox, in a long opin-
ion granted the requested Of Italy
to surrender Porter Charlton, charg-
ed with the murder of his wife at
Lake Como. The Secretary holds
that the fact that Italy refuses to
surrender her citizens to the United

try from the obligation of the extra,
dition treaty to surrender to Italy
fugitives from justice from that
country. The question of the insan
ity of Charlton, it is suggested, is
one for the courts and not for the

herds. Their tents are quickly taken
down or put up and easy of transport.
They are made of cameps hair, loosely
woven, supported on poles or long guy
ropes. They protect the occupants from
the hot sun, but not from the rain.
and in winter the encampments are
uncomfortable places.
The interior is crowded with all the
belongings of these shepherd warriors
camel saddles and gaudy saddle
bags, rifles and ammunition, hunting
dogs and falcons. The women occupy
one half; the men use the other, par
titioned off by brightly colored cur
tain. The whole OF the front of the
tent being open, there is no privacy.
The average tent measures twenty
yards by six.
The chief of the tribe, however,
owns many tents. and he has for his
own use one giant structure, some
times spread over a length of thirty
six yards. In his other tents the chief
keeps his numerous wives. who have
a certain proportion OF their masters

thus does away with all chance of do

IT FAILED To CURE

There exists in Paris league against
seasickness which was founded three
years ago and whose continued exist
ence proves that it has not attained its
object 1t has discovered no specific
against seasickness. In fact, the jour
nal it publishes hardly ever recon-
mends anything In the line of drugs.
1t advises travellers by sea to sing
talk, play and amuse one another-in
a word, to End occupation for body and
mind Do not lie down is another
recommendation. Wear a wide, tight
belt which does not squeeze you.
Summer Travel Recommends.
If possible choose your time OF trav-
orally rough for Eve or six days at a
time and then smooth; in summer a
high wind may be counted on every IF
teen or twenty days.
The last quarter Of the moon is con-
sidered an unfavorable time. especially
from November to March or April The
equfnoxes. March 81 to 81 and Sept
p to 80, should be avoided IL possible.
Smooth seas may be hoped for when
the moon is full and after the spring
and autumn rains have beaten down
the waves.
The league advocates preventive
treatment Get your sea legs before
going to sea. For this purpose 1t ad-
vises two hours a day on a swing for
weeks or months before sailing and
free indulgence in riding the merry-go-
rounds found at every French fair.
Camel Rides Good Training.
Take as many camel rides as you
can. If CaDleIs ar nut handy devote
yourself TO the toboggan. switchbacks,
water chutes. looping the loop, and
when you are at home use a rocking
chair.
The league is very strong On tie

In France. and maintains that Ameri-
cans and English are less troubled by
seasickness than the French not be-
cause they travel more. but because
they pass hours in rocking chairs.

While Johnson will lose conservative

son and his followers proclaim that
they are going to drive it out of state
politics, just as Theodore Roosevelt
promises to drive all special interests
out of national politics. This Will
necessarily force q realigpment OF par
ties.
How many votes can the Southern
Pacific swing in a straightout fight II
1t attempts TO oppose Johnson in the
coming election? Should it take an
open stand will it not drive more to
him than 1t draws from him? These
are questions that only election day
can answer. Yet on them depend the
fate Of the canvass and to a consid-
cradle degree the trend OF future poll
tics in California. If Johnson wins
and carries out his pledge to end
Southern Pacific domination it will
mean a practical revolution of politics
in the state.
California has been Republican for
many years. Taft having carried it by
SG.9O6 out of total vote of less than
100000 and Roosevelt having had a
plurality of 1882 out of total vote
OF less than $4,000. The claim of
Jobnson's friends is that the Roosevelt
following is with them in this fight.
Hiram w. Johnson is not unlike
Roosevelt, although younger man.
He is almost as vigorous q campaigner
having covered 10000 miles in the re-
cent primary struggle. He likewise
cleaned up Sacramento. as Roosevelt
In years before had cleaned up New
York city. The California insurgent
leader Is not afraid to speak out Els
Of graft and bossism In
San Francisco and his eXcoriat ton of
President Taft showed that. He bold
" likens the present struggle in Amer
lea to the conflict against privilege in
the French revolution.

that there is paternai pride lurking
away back in the corners of his heart
over the triumphs of his son, but If so

farther east. it exhibited the same gen.
eral trend. 1t carried through not only
the Lincoln-RooSevelt league state
ticket, but two candidates for con-
gress,
In the popular or advisory vote for
United States senator the result was
uncomfortably close between John D.
Works, the insurgent candidate. and
A G. Spalding, the former baseball,
pitcher and manufacturer Of athletic
goods. The result on senatorship was
complicated by the fact that the man
who carries the largest number Of leg
islative districts and not the one re-
ceiving the largest total vote Is the
one supposed to be chosen.
Spalding lives at Point Iona and is
a member of Katherine Tingley's the
osophical colony. He is the man who
took the all America ball teams
around the world. One Of his pitchers
in that tour was John K. Tener, now
Republican candidate for governor of
Pennsylvania. The insurgents claim
that they will have a working ma
jority in the legislature, and this may
affect the senatorial situation
Latest adviceS are that both Works
and Spalding claim the primary in
dorsement, Works having received the
largest vote in the state, but Spalding
carrying a majority of the legislative
districts.
The fight on governor is likewise
complicated by the doubt as to how
the regulars Will vote in the Novem-
Der election. They assert that Hiram
johnson affronted President Taft, and
some Of them may vote against him
on this score. The Democratic can
didate is Theodore A. Bell, who was
temporary chairman of the national
convention at Denver.
At the last gubernatorial election In
1906 Bell was also the candidate and
came within $3.50 votes Of beating

town, and his father went back to the
legislature.
The mayor Of Sacramento at that
time was George Clark. At the end or
his first term the machine turned down
Clark, and he ran Independently and
was elected. Hiram Johnson had not
a little to do with his victory. Then
he induced Clark to become an indie
