Hughie Jennings and Frank Navin have

league iatield. but he can hit we'll enough
to demand place on the pay roll.
The year before last Birke was the

Porter Charlton
 Faces Long Delay
Man Accused of Staying Wife at Lake Como Writes Verses
 and Smokes Cigarettes in Jail

Jersey City, Dec. 11-After year
 and a half in the Hudson County
 jail. here awaiting some definite dis
 position of his case, Porter Charlton
 who is accused of having slain hls
 wife at Lake Como, Italy in June,
 1910, is facing another year and a
 half of inaction.
 All the persons concerned are ap-
 parently willing that the case shall
 take it's natural course. The man father. Judge Paul Charlton, of Puer-
 to Rico, and others of the family have
 made no move to hasten judicial ac- tion, and Major Scott, brother of the | murdered woman, also is silent.
 Porter Charlton was arrested i'll Ho-
 boken as he stepped from a steamship on June 23, 1910, and fight was be- gun against his eXtraditiOn to Italy. Secretary of State Knox ruled the ex- tradition must stand, and then ap. plication was made for writ of habeas corpus: This was denied oy Federal Judge Rellstab, and appeal was taken to the Supreme court. The case will be heard if it retains it's present place on the calendar, early in 1913!
 Charlton's extradition to Italy, it is believed would result in sentence to twenty years imprisonment.
 Charlton seldom has anything to say to any of the other prisoners. His cell faces the south, and is filled with sunshine on clear days. He spends his time in reading and writing, the greater part of his composition being verses. He is we'll supplied with funds, and his food, which IS pur- chased outside of the jail, is of much better quality than that supplied to the other prisoners. He smokes many cigarettes each day.

Congressman Reilly Explains Position
 On Pension Bill

Washington, Dec. 11.-Congress- man Reilly's speech on the Sherwood pension bill is given herewith:
 MT. Chairman: The Sherwood ser vice pension bill is a fair bill, and for that reason I believe will become q law Any pension bill to be fair should be based on service. There IS one provision in this bill, however. that I hope will be voted out, and whether it is voted out or not will make no difference with my vote. l should prefer to have it out. If 1t IS not stricken out, will vote for the best can get along the service pen sion line I refer to the $1,O0O provi- sion in the bill. (Applause.) If, as has been said. the $loo0 provision al al fects only two per cent. I believe With the gentleman from Nebraska that 1t would cost a great deal more, to look after. that particular feature than Il would to pension all the soldiers ire spective of their financial condition. If, as has been said on the other side. it applies to 20 or 25 per cent, then I say it is unfair because it is not then a service pension bill, but mere ly a service pension bill for some who fought for the union.
 . When this country in it's distress in the eos called for volunteers 1t did not specify that only those who did C should apply for enlistment. There was no $1,O00 income bar put up so far as volunteers for the service was concerned. There was no 6investiga- tor as to whether the volunteers had $1,OOg or 1 1000 cents. The services of the well-to-do union soldier were as cheerfully accepted as those of the soldier who did not have a penny, and as g rule, were just as valuable. (Applause.) Why should there be any discriminate now, or an i'm vestigation needed to find out how much man is worth when the gov- ernments proposes to- reward that service and reward the man that fought for it's provision? I am op- posed to that provision of the bill. hope it will be stricken out. If the House in it's wisdom does not strike it out, then I propose to vote for the bill as the best that can possibly be passed. as an absolutely fair meas ure. (Applause.)
