SEVEN OF SPADES WINS
JUG OF KENTUCKY RYE

A conversation relating TO the face
value Of cards the other evening
caused Senator Bradley, of Kentucky,
to become reminiscent.
He was reminded, he said, of man
from the mountain zone of his State,
who once bought a jug of whiskey.
and not wanting to carry it around
with him, decided to leave it at the
corner grocery until he should be
ready to go home.
In order that the jug might be
properly identified the man took a
deck of cards from his pocket, ex-
tracted the six of spades. wrote his
name upon il and attached it to the
handle of the jug. This done, he
happily rambled forth. leaving the jug
on the end of the counter.
Two hours later the mountaineer
returned, and great was his con-
sternation. as well as eloquence, to
ind that his jug of electrified spirits
had faded away.
Look here. jim he agitatedly
cried to the proprietor Of the store.
DO YOU know what become o tibet
jug o mine?"
fOf course / do, Seth,' was the
prompt rejoinder of the proprietor.
"Jake Howell come along with Their
seven o spades an took it."-Pitts-

met Plate at the Hotel Broad several
times by appointment, and on each
occasion she had accompanied Plate
to room, after being registered on
the hotel books as his wife.
Plate on his cross examination yes
terday had denied he had ever sent
any message to the Feltmeyer girl
asking him to meet him at the Hotel
Broad Today this was refuted by
the Feltmeyer sisters, both of whom
stated under oath that Plate had sent
telegram to Eva Feltmeyer one
Sunday in April asking her to meet
him at the Broad that night
On eross-examination the witness
denied emphatically that she had
tried to flirt with Plate
II did not try to flirt with Mr..
Plate. but he did with me-" said the
witness.
"How did he try to firt with your"
asked Mr.. Bradner.
Why he kept looking over at me
and nodding his head and winking at
me-" testified the witness, and she
caused a laugh in which Judge Os-
borne Joined, by her very able imita-
ton of the smirks and motions of
man trying to flirt
Amelia Feltmeyer corroborated the
testimony of her sister, and told of
visit she had made to the rooms in
the Hotel Broad with Ferrati on the
night of April 1.
She was succeeded on the witness
stand by Hazel Whitledge, who gave
her occupation as saleslady and
said she lived in Halsey street. She
said she had come to Newark on
March 20 last, but had not worked
since arriving here. She testified to
meeting Plate at the Hotel Broad and
of going to room with him.
DO you know how your companion
got room ?" asked Prosecutor Hood.
"He simply had to register, and
the key was given him." was the
reply.
On cross examination the witness
was asked by Mr.. Bradner if she had
flirted with Plate or he with her.
well, 1 acted very socially was
the reply of the witness.
did you act as if you were mar
ried?"
mo, never act as if I am married
when l am in place like that"
The witness was not asked whether
she was married or not.

CULMS HELP IN
COAL SHORTAGE
What Was Heretofore Discard.
ed as Waste Now Is Washed
Into Utility.

The production of anthracite coal
in Pennsylvania in 1912 was 75,3lo.0i9
long tons, valued at the mines al
SIT, 767,054, an average price of s2.sa
a ton, according to figures just com
piled by Edward w. Parker. coal
statistician of the United States Geo.
logical Survey.
This is a smaller production than
in 1911 by 5,461, 4s9 tons. but the value
is greater by $2,S14,619.
The smaller production in 1912 was
due entirely to the suspension of min
ing operations during April and part
of May. Except for this the years
output would probably have been a
record breaker The shortage created
by the suspension is estimated by
Mr.. Parker at about 1o,50o,0Oo tons.
The new agreement reached with
the miners provided for an advance
of 10 per cent. on all wages over and
above those established by the orig
inal strike commission and for the
abolition of the sliding scale.
To meet this advance and other ex-
penses the operators advanced the
prices of prepared sizes of coal %.
cents a ton, with the exception, of
chestnut coal, which had been adj
vanced the previous year.
An interesting feature of Mr.. Par
ker's statement is that there is at the
present time a market for almost any
grade of coal that will burn. No
more coal goes to the culm piles, ex-
cept for temporary storage and sub
sequent recovery by washeries.

! With the acceptance of the confes
sion as a solution of the crime, there
arose almost at once the diplomatic
problem of Charlton's extradition. j
was admitted on all hands that Charl-
ton could not be tried in the United
States for a crime committed in Italy
His friends, headed by his father
took the position that he could not
be extradited to Italy, because Itais
had always refused, under the eX-
tradition treaty of 1865 to return
Italian subjects to the United States
10 answer for crimes committed here.
Italy, however. made a request fol
the prisoner. Secretary Knox parried
by asking if italy thereby meant TO
waive its past Interpretation of the
treaty. Months of diplomatic eX-
changes followed.
Judge John A. Blair. of the Court
of Oyer and Terminer in Hudson
county. n. j., sitting as a Federal
extradition magistrate, held Charlton
subject to extradition. The court de-
clined to receive evidence of Charl-
tons insanity, on the ground that
under the law of New Jersey defenses
could not be made at a preliminary
hearing of the nature then before the
court.
Secretary Knox approved that hold
ing, taking the position that mas
much as Charlton could not be
brought to answer for the crime in
this country. the United States would
adhere to its Interpretation of the
treaty by surrendering him to Italy.
CharIton's Father Begins Fight.
Charltons father then began the
last fight to save his son from eX-
tradition. He applied to, the Circuit
Court of the United States for New
Jersey for his release on habeas COR
pus proceedings, holding that the
treaty did not justify the extradition
and that evidence of sanity should
have been received. The Circuit
Court refused to grant his release,
but Charlton appealed to the Su-
was acted upon today.
As evidence of Charlton's insanity
his counsel offered to prove that as a
child he had fits of extreme rage,
giving as one instance his begging to
be permitted to take vengeance on a
horse that had run away with him.
Another instance referred to was the
occasion when Paul Charlton, his
father, inquired as to his sons re-
sources, when told of his marriage,
the result being that the son re-
fused TO dine with him, and later on
his honeymoon trip. wrote to his
father a letter 80 full of foulness
and abuse that the father destroyed
it unread, except a glance through
it to see its purport.''
Evidence was offered to show that
the family history of Porter Charlton
supported the claim of insanity.
Counsel offered to give testimony on
the medical history of the murdered
wife to show she had once been con-
fined to an institution in New York.

was explained that her condition was

Prosecutor Puts Girls
Upon Witness Stand



| Damaging testimony against a de-
tective who was identified in court
by the witness, but whose name was
not brought out, was given by Ber-
tina Densmore, of AZ Mercer street.
She had met the man at the Littls
Hungary rathskeller, she testified,
and he asked her to go to the Hote!
Broad. which she had never visited.
She consented and on reaching there
the man registered and took a room,
the girl accompanied him to the
room, thinking she was going to a
dining-room.
On reaching the room the man
made proposition involving moral
turpitude which the girl refused to
consider and at once left the room,
This testimony was brought out on
DISCRIMINATION by Mr.. Bradner
and got on the record despite q hard
to keep it out.
Mr. Hood contended that it was not
question of what any of the detec-
tives did in the rooms at the Hotel
Broad that was the issue in the case,
but Mr. Bradner fought for the right
to show the character of men that
were used to obtain the evidence
against Mausert? Here we have the
situation of young girl beguiled into
a room in hotel thinking it is a
dining room. and while she is there
an unspeakable proposition is made
to her
Marie Nelson, q years old, who
said she formerly lived at As Palm
street, but was now confined in the
county penitentiary, was the next
witness. The Nelson girl was i'm
plicated in the theft of an automobile
owned by w. II. Dignan last winter,
the machine being stolen from in
front of the Continental hotel, while
herself and another girl are alleged
to have entertained the chauffeur in
the cafe of the hotel. Her testimony
was along the same lines as that of
the girls who had preceded her and
told of designations she had with
Gregory detectives in rooms at the
Hotel Broad.
Similar testimony was given by
Jennie Bell, 81 years old, now confined
in the penitentiary, but who said she
formerly lived at 81 North Seventh
street. The Bell girl caused one of
the few laughs that breaks the
monotony of sordid testimony by a
little fencing bout with Prosecutor
Hood. Mr.. Hood had asked her
where she lived and had received the
reply 81 North Seventh street"
But you are at the penitentiary
now" said Mr.. Hood
why no, I'm not; I'm here in the
court room,' smiled the witness.
IT mean you are at present living
at the penitentiary," said Mr.. Hood.
well. 1 suppose you might call it
living there. I'm there, anyhow
was the reply of the witness in a
bored tone of voice, and a roar of
laughter filled the court room.
Elizabeth Charos was another wit
ness who is now confined in the peni-
tertiary, and from her the fact was
CLEANED for the first time that some
of the detectives had for time lived
In the Hotel Broad. She testified to
being asked to go to the room of a
man she did not know, but whom she
identified in the court room.

Vice Chancellor stevens today re-
fused to hold Norman Anderson and
Ernest Jokus, bicycle riders st the
Yelodrome. to "a contract they are
alleged to have made whereby they
agreed to ride exclusively at the
Motordrome, rival track.
The contract, a written one in An

Eaton, manager of the track. but did
not show how he could contract for
the Motordrome Company. The vice
chancellor held that the contract was
binding upon Eaton himself, If at all.
He gave Joseph Steiner, counsel FOR
the company, week to cite former
decisions that would bear upon this
case. f. ]. Greenberg appeared for
the riders.
