Professor Stiles held IL to be a funda-
mental biological principle that the pro

strain, both physical and mental.
Advocates Segregation
Advocating more rigid segregation OF
slien races, Professor stiles said thai
vltL the present unnatural existence ol
two races, white and black present in the
south in their present proportions. bott
race are living under biological and med
ical hareicaps that are unequaled In any
other part of the country" Illustrative
of this, he said, is the fact that tuber-
eulosis, essentially a white mans dis
ease, now is the scourge of the negro
while malaria, originally characteristic OF
tie negro, has become the burden of the
white man.
Il invite your attention." the speaker

CHARLTON T0STAND
TRIAL IN ITALY
Must Answer to Charge of
Murder in Italian
Court

Washington, June 1o.-Three years to a
day after the discovery of the body ot
his wife in the waters of Lake Como
Italy, Porter Charlton lost his long fight
against being turned over by his native
land to the Italian government for trial
on a charge of murder. The supreme
court today sustained the state depart
ment's decision to deliver Charlton In
compliance with ltalys demand.
Charlton was bank clerk in New York
and his father, Paul Charlton, cassmate
of ey-President Taft and until recently
federal judge in Porto Rico. The young
man has been held in Jail in New Jersey
since his arrest early three years ago.
Denied Right
Insanity was alleged as the main ground
for opposing Charlton's removal to Italy,
and it was further contended that the
its citizens to Italy inasmuch as that coun-
try had refused TO extradite it's subjects to
the United States. The supreme court
held Charlton had no right to present ey-
idence of his insanity at the extradition
hearing and that the contention as to the
power to extradite was erroneous, JUS
tice Lurton, in announcing the courts de-
cision, however, said tina, impressive evil
dence of insanity had been offered on
Charlton's behalf. 1t is believed a way
will be found to present this conclusion
at Charlton's trial in Italy. The "man-
date" of the supreme court by which its
decision will be made known officially to
the New Jersey courts having jurisdiction
over Charlton, will be issued shortly after
the court adjourns for the summer, June
16. The Italian embassy here will take
no further steps In the matter, leaving
such action as may be necessary to the
Italian consul general at New York.
