CHARLTON CASE IN COURT.
Appeal May Be Argued Today Before
Supreme Bench.

Washington, April 49,. The appeal of
Porter Charlton to the supreme court
from the action of the New Jersey
courts and the state department in hold
ing him for extradition to Italy to an.
swer to the charge of numbering his
wife at Lake Como on June I. 1910.
was on call for argument yesterday be-
fore the court. but because of several
cases ahead there was a possibility it
might not be reached until today.
Chsrlton's father, Paul Charlton, un-
til recently United States Judge in Por-
to Rico, has fought unremittingy to
prevent his son being taken back to
Italy for trial. Two grounds are adj
vanced for this position. One is that
Italy has refused to return Italian sub.
jects to America to answer charges OF
crime. under the treaty of 1868, and
therefore the United States cannot be
called upon to return TO Italy Amer
lean citizens similarly accused. The 9th
er defence is that Charlton was in
sane at the time OF the offence and at
the time of the extradition hearing and
that the New Jersey courts improperly
declined to admit evidence to support
that contention.

DEPARTMENT HAS CHARGES.
And Is Investigating the Accusations
Against Mr.. Moore.

Washington, April ls.-C Charges upon
which President Wilson on Wednesday
summarly removed Willis i. Moore.
chief of the weather bureau. from office.
rested yesterday in the department of
justice, where agents of the bureau of
investigation We're at work on them.
Neither Secretary Houston nor White
House officials had any reply to make
to Professor Moore's statement that the
charges against him had been secretly
made and secretly investigated and that
he had no opportunity to defend him
self.
None of the officials concerned went
further yesterday in detailing the charges
against the weather bureau chief than
TO say they consisted of irregularities"
but Professor Moore in his own state
ment declared they were based upon his
activities in working for appointment as
secretary of agriculture.
The general allegation against Moore
is that employees of the weather bureau,
while out on trips on government bus
iness, were utilized in addressing or
ganizstions and meetings in furtheranee
Of his candidacy and that salaries were
raised in return for similar services.

ALIEN LAND LAW
STIRS EUROPEANS
Syndicates Frame a Protest at the
Capital Against California's
Action.

Washington, April ls.-Protests by
representatives of great European syn
dicates against one phase of the Call
fornia alien land holding bill, which
would require stockholders in corpora
tions owning land in the state either to
be American citizens or to have declared
their intention, soon will be taking form
in Washington. Inquiries have already
been made by some of the diplomatic
representatives of European powers to
ascertain the precise nature of the leg
islation, but SO far all the state depart
ment has been able to do is to furnish
copies of draft OF the California Senate
bill, leaving the protestants to draw
their own differences as to its extent.
There is much interest to know how
the proposed legislation would affect cor
porations not initially organized for
land holding, but, like railroads and 9TH
er public utilities, obliged from their
nature to own real property for right
OF way, stations and terminal facilities,
wharves, etc. Because of the difficulties
OF administration of such an act as that
passed by the California assembly, the
officials here, while convinced that some
anti-alien land owning act is bound to
become law. incline to the belief that
it would take the form of the Senate
bill. which makes no discrimination be-
tween races. In such case there is rea-
son to believe the Japanese government
will make no protest though, as ind-
Gated in the California dispatches, the
great European financial interests will
be seriously embarrassed
and may threaten to withdraw com
pletely from the state

ROBBERY BY WHOLESALE.

value in the line of household furniture
and furnishings that had been left stored
in the three upstairs rooms of their home
at Ia Clark street in this town. This
has been done since the night of March
20, when the family OF Bert f. 0giIvie
moved out of one of the downstairs ten
ements, The other is occupied by the
family Of Edward Lepp, Central Yer

family who reported the circumstances
day or two ago to :. W. Edgett, who has
har charge of the property since Mr..
and Mrs. Hemenway moved to Hartford,
where Mr.. Hemenway is employed in the
automobile shops.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Hemenway came
to Brattleboro Wednesday in response to
a letter from Mr. Edgett informing them
that their rooms had been broken into,
they did not expect to find that every
thing OF value had been taken. Even
a parlor stove and the carpets that were
on the floors had disappeared, also corn
pepper that was more than 200 years old
and of great value as an antique. The
of bureau drawers had been
sorted over and removed almost entire.
Four complete bedroom sets, including
feather mattresses, are among the loot
taken from locked and padloeked rooms
in which Mr.. and Mrs. Hemenwav had
stored most of their household belong

FOUR COAL SILoS.
Have Been Built by the D. M. Miles
Coal Co,

The ID. NJ. Miles Coal Co., is filling for
the first time its new coal silos recently
erected on the company's property off
| smith street. To convey the coal from
from the cars to the silos, new coal
elevator and carrier has been installed
and put in operation. With the addition
of the silos, four in number, and the
carrier system, the company's facilities
for handling coal are greatly increased.
Storage coal now covers a much smaller
ground area than formerly and can be
handled with minimum OF manual
labor and at material saving of time.
-Four silos, enclosed by iron hoops,
were erected by the Hudson Coal Silo
Co.. while the carrier system was in
stalled by the Clifford Wood Co., of Hud-
son, \. Y. Each of the silos is over thir-
ty feet high with a cement base extend
ed nine feet from the ground They are
eighteen feet in diameter and each has
a capacity of $50 tons. With the COM
plction OF the cylinder coal pockets, the
company's storage room is thus in
creased by one thousand tons, The silos
are the first of their kind to be used in
Vermont, although several have been
built in New York state. BY means of
the elevator, coal is unloaded from the
bottom OF the cars on the siding just
east of the Central Vermont railroads

IMPORTANT CONTEMPT RULING.
Only Government Can Institute Proceed
ings on This Charge

New York, April ls.-The United
States circuit court of appeals ruled
yesterday that contempt proceedings in
a civil case to be valid must be insti-
tuted by the government and not by a
private individual. The opinion was
based upon the decision of the United
States supreme court in the famous case
of Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor. and the
Bucks Stove & Range company. The
latter was criminal case, but the cir
cult court held that the ruling there
made applied to civil cases as well The
court yesterday reversed preeedents by
declaring that a person adjudged guilty
of contempt in a civil suit should be
given the alternative of leaving Jail be-
fore the expiration of the ten-day SEN
tence If meanwhile he consented to an
swer questions. Only in a criminal case,
the decision held, could the prisoner for
contempt be made TO serve the whole

William Boyle of Berlin was arragned
before Judge II. W. Scott in city court
this forenoon on an intoxication charge,
10 which he pleaded guilty. 1t was a
subsequent offense for the respondent
and he was asked by the court to make
disclosure. Boyle said he came in from
Berlin yesterday and ran plump into a
fellow from his home town, Wesport,
\. Y. The reunion took place on Gran
lie street and the man from home made
Boyle happier for the meeting by about
four drinks of whiskey. They parted,
the respondent starting toward the Cen
trsl Vermont station, and his acquaint-
snce, as Boyle thought, hitting trail
that led back to the lake town. Boyle
next remembered of being accompanied
to police headquarters by Officer f. l..
Mcleod at o'clock in the afternoon.
The court gave him a sl5 fine and
costs of 1904, or the alternative of serv-
ing rs days in the county Jail. Boyle
