Currency and other legislation are
under informal consideration and the
way is being paved for speedy action
upon any subjects that may be ap
proved by President Wilson when he
has consulted further with legislative
and executive advisers after inaugu
ration.
Those closest to the president-elect
in congress reflect his determination
not to announce policies or programs
until the new administration comes
into power. Senators Hoke Smith
Gore and OGorman; Representa- i've
Underwood, Palmer of Pennsylvania,
Burleson and Henry of Texas and
Speaker Clark are looked upon as
more intimately acquainted with the
present attitude of Gov. Wilson than
the majority of their colleagues.
What information they may have,
however, as to his wishes, is not lie
ing reflected openly in their discuss

Rumors of Division on Tariff.
Rumors of sharp division with the
democratic membership of the ways
ard means committee over the form
ing of the new tariff bills have been
current during the week but it Is
believed that the committee will ef-
feet an agreement on eacn Drl be-
fore it is offered to the new congress
so that no substitute measure will be
brought into the fight.
There also is a marked divis on
among democrats in both houses over
the Panama canal free toll ques ion
but the attitude of President-elec,
Wilson has not been brought out in
the discussion. Senator O'Gorman
his close political associate, is oppos-
ing vigorously any effort to repeal
the free toll provision of the law pass
eu last august, Dut HIS poSllloh, II 10
claimed, results from the fact that
he was instrumental in having the
free toll plank put into the democrat
ic national platform and that he be-
lieves the party has been definitely
committed to the policy. Many other
democrats of both houses favor an
immediate repeal of the free toll pro-
vision against which Great Britain
has protested, so that the new presi-
dent might start with clean slate"
end without inheriting the British
dispute from the Taft administration.

for Extradition Of
Murderer.
DECISION AFFIRMS

Prisoner Now Probably Will Be
Turned Over to Italian Author
tiles, and New Jersey Court
Will Be Directed to Garry
Out It's Original
Order.

Washington, June 10.-Porter Charl-
ton must return to Italy to answer the
charge of having murdered his wife
In June. 1910. at Lake Como. The
United Staten Supreme Court 80 de-
cided o-day.
Porter Charlton Is a native OF Wash
ington. and Is the son of Judge Paul
Charlton, former solicitor of the War
Department, and recently Judge of the
Circuit Court OF Porto Rico. Judge
Charlton is a claasmate Of former-Pres-
ident Taft.
Judge Lurton began delivering the
Supreme Courts opinion in the Porter
Charlton extradition case as soon as
the court assembled
He said first that no error had been
committed In excluding evidence OF In
sanity at the habeas corpus proceed
ings In the lower court. and that no er
ror was committed in making the for
NAL demand for Charlton. because 1t
was not necessary to the demand at the
eXtradition hearing.
Main Point in CAGE.
After discussing the insanity plea
the justice took up the main point in
the case, whether under the treaty of
1858 an American citizen could be ex-
tradited to Italy for crime commit ted
there. particularly since Italy will not
extradite its subjects for crimes here
The refusal TO surrender citizens for
extradition. the justice said, was OF
modern origin. Some of the American
treaties provided. he added, that citi-
zens shall not he extradited, while the
others are silent
The conclusion is" said Justice Lur-
ton. that this government making eX-
ception in some treaties that 1t would
not extredite Its citizens shows II was
fully aware that there was no excep-
ton in favor of citizens in other trea-
ties where the exception was not made,
as the treaty with Italy.
Italy's Refusal to Surrender.
I'VE come to the question whether
/ the treaty is no longer binding on the
United States because Italy has refused
to surrender up Its subjects"
Justice Lurton reviewed at length
the correspondence between the United
States and Italian governments regard
ing the attitude OF the two govern
ments.
He pointed out that it was conceded
that crimes committed in Italy were
not justifable in the United States; so
If eXtradltion were not granted the
criminals would go unpunished Crimes
committed in the United States he
added. were justifable in Italy.
According to international law, he
held that the treaty. by reason of
Italy's course. has not become void.
but merely voidable at the option OF
the American government.
Waive Right to Annul Treaty.
The executive department having
waived its right to annul the treaty.
