test over one Of the best places in
Washington outside Of a cabinet Office.
The several thousand employees of
the big print shop have been worked
up over the incoming chief for several
months. and there has been much wire
pulling in Congress and elsewhere in
behalf of different candidates.
President Lynch of the International
Typographical Union has been strongly
in President Wilson's mind and at one
time it looked as II the New Jersey
candidate would not be named. His
friends. however. continued the fight
for him and after Lynch was put for
ward as the probable selection OF the
President fight followed. Lynch him
self did not care to accept the place
after the fight started on him. The
contest then narrowed down to Ford
and Turley, the Chattanooga printer,
with number of southern senators
and representatives urging the Presi-
dent to nominate Turley.
Personal Acquaintance.
Mr. Wilson knows Mr. Ford personally
and appreciates the work the Hoboken
man has done for him in the political
campaigns of the past. He is represented

BUSINESS IS THE TOPIC
DISCUSSED BY AD CLUBS
Address by Member Defend
ing Reputable Newspapers
Against Attack.

BALTIMORE. Nd. June 10.-TOday's s
forenoon session Of the convention of
the Associated Advertising Clubs of
America was devoted to departmental
meetings, of which there were twelve
in progress at the same time in the
different company rooms at the 5th
Regiment Armory. Papers were read
and discussed on subjects bearing on
the several departments of advertising.
Louis Wiley of New York replied to
cago at yesterdays meeting of the con-
vention. Mr.. Keeley had said it was
an astonishing commentary on the
ethics of one of the greatest industries
in the world-that it's business integ-
rity was at so low an ebb that news
papers have to submit to the third de-
gree to have established which. If any

Calls It Unwarranted Severity.
Mr. Wiley regretted the "unwarrant-
ed severity of Mr.. Keeley's attack
upon a reputable business. a business
as honestly conducted as any other
in this broad land. The standard of
ethics In the newspaper calling is as
high as that in any other"
Continuing, Mr.. Wiley said:
The recent demands of an advertisers S
association to newspaper publishers to
submit to an examination Of their books
and pressrooms for verificatiOn of their
circulation statements. or, upon refusal l..
forfeit advertising orders. have not met
with encouragement from many self-re-
specting newspaper publishers.
IF aneadvertiser is in doubt about the
value of newspapers circulation it is
his privilege and duty to seek informa-
ton in any way he can obtain 1t; but
ii is an insult to the newspaper to ask
it to submit to an examination of it's

by the rates charged them for news
paper advertising. but hundreds of news
papers have been wrecked and fortunes
have been spent in the effort to print
newspapers and to sell advertising space
at the comparatively small rates
charged"
The speaker regarded the law to en-
force the publication of circulation state
ments as fraught with great danger
and he hoped the Supreme Court would
declare ii unconstitutional.
Later there was general session de-
voted to vigilance and educational COM
nittee work.

the justice concluded nothing remained
for the court to do but to enforce its
decision.
Charlton has been prisoner in the
Hudson county. n. j., Jail nearly three
years whi;e the fight for his extradi-
tion has been going on.
The Supreme Courts decision today
affirms the action of former Secretary
Knox. who determined to turn Charlton
over to Italy. The prisoner now prob
ably will be turned over to Italian au-
thorities after the observance of a few
formalities.
Charltons father. who conducted a
gallant fight for his son. was a former
United States Judge for Porto Rico and
a classmate of former President Taft.
Next Move for Court.
The next move is for the Supreme
Court to direct the New Jersey court to
carry out it's original order.
A warrant of extradition for Charl-
toms delivery to representatives of the
Italian government has been waiting
while the legal fight has been going on.

History of Crime.
The body of Mrs Porter Charlton was
found in Lake Como, Italy, near Mol
trasio. June 10. 1910. The woman had
evidently been murdered and her body
had been doubled up and crowded into
trunk. which had been sunk in the
lake. The discovery was made by fish
ermen. The following day Porter Charl-
toms coat was found in the lake, giving
rise to the theory that a double murder
had been committed.
Investigation by the Italian authori-
ties developed the belief that Charlton
had slain his wife. placed the body in
a trunk, thrown it into the lake and
then had disappeared. Outgoing steam
ers were watched but Charlton was
not discovered until he reached the
United States on board a steamer from
Italy several days after the finding Of
the body.
The night after his arrest young Charl-
ton signed what purported to be con-
fession of the crime. in which it was
stated that he slew his wife with wood
en- mallet after Il bitter quarrel. His
ungovernable temper and the same sort
Of temper I'm his wife. who was eight
years his senior, were given by Charlton
as the reason for the crime

CHANGES MOTIVE POWER
Proposed Substitution Of
Electricity for Steam on
Railways in District.

Representative Charles B. Smith Of New
York today introduced in the House
resolution directing the House commit
tee on the District of Columbia to in
auire into the practicability Of requir-
ing the substitution Of electricity for
steam as a motive power in the opera
tion of all railway lines within the Dis
trict of Columbia.
In discussing his resolution Representa-
tive Smith said:
I'm various cities of the country the
railroads are being asked to electrify
their lines in order to get rid of the noise
and smoke incidental to the operation OF
their lines by steam as a motive. In
Washington the steam railway lines in
tersect the centers of the city in such
a way that the noise is particularly
noticeable and the smoke is constantly
discernible. =
Object of the Inquiry.
IF it is practicable to use electricity as
a motive power in the Capital city of the
nation. obviously it should be done. My
resolution. therefore, is presented with a
view to inauiring into this subject in
order to substitute. electric for steam
power If it is desirable now to do so.
II believe it is proper subject for
the District committee to investigate, as
other municipalities in the country have
been looking to Washington to take the
lead in efficient local government. They
have frequently been disappointed in their
expectations. I believe that we have a
District committee at the present time
which will institute genuine and practi-
cal reforms. | have confidence that the
members will give careful consideration
to this important subject.

Supreme Court Rules He Must
Return to Italy to Answer
Charge of Wife Murder.
FOUGHT EXTRADITION
NEARLY THREE YEARS
Justice Lurton's Decision Affirms
Former Secretary Knox's Action
Sustaining Treaty.

Porter Ch harlton must return to Italy to
answer the charge of having murdered
his wife in June. 1870 at Lake Como.
The United States Supreme Court so de.
cided today
Porter Charlton Is native of Washing
ton and is the son of Judge Paul Charl-
ton. former solicitor of the War Depart
ment and recently judge Of the circuit
court of Porto Rico. Judge Ch arlton Is a
classmate Of former President Taft.
Justice Lurton began delivering the Su-
preme 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 proceedings
in the lower court, and that no error was
committed in making. the formal demand
for Charlton, because it was not neces-
sary to the demand at the extradition
hearing.
Main Point in Case.
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 extradited
to Italy for a crime committed there.
particularly since Italy will not extradite
it's subjects for crimes here.
The refusal to surrender citizens for
extradition, the justice said, was of mod
ern origin. Some Of the American trea-
ties provided, he added, that citizens shall
not be extradited, while the others are
silent
1.-THE conclusion is,' said Justice Lur-
ton, that this government making ex-
ception in some treaties that 1t would
not extradite it's citizens shows 1t was
fully aware that there was no exception
in favor of citizens in other treaties
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 sur
render up its subjects
Justice Lurton reviewed at length the
correspondence between the United States
and Italian governments regarding tha
attitude OF the two governments.
He pointed out that it was conceded
that crimes committed in Italy were
not justiciable in the United States. SO
IL extradition were not granted the
criminals would go unpunished. Crimes
committed in the United States. he
added, were justiciable 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.
