CHARLTON APPEAL UP.
American Wanted in Italy for Murder
of Wife Before Court.

Washington, April 1s.-The appeal of
Porter Charlton from the refusal of the
New Jersey courts to set aside orders
for his extradition to Italy was up for
argument today before the supreme
courts of the United States Charlton
is wanted in Italy to answer to charges
of having murdered his wife during
their honeymoon at Lake Como, Italy,
on June Z, 1910. His attorneys have
fought his extradition on the grounds
that Italy, under the treaty of 1863
has refused to send italian subjects to
the United States to >-nswer criminal
charges, and also that Charlton was
insane,

count of the increase in the dividend rate
from to 6 per cent made it the feature
of the opening today. The first transac-
ton was a block of 1900 shares at 66A to
&C. compared with yesterdays close of
65az. The quotation substantially yielded
to a shade below yesterdays final prices.
Generally speaking the market was lower
although declines were restricted to small
fractions. Canadian Pacific was an eX-
ception, losing points on the sale.
The market closed firm. Speculative in
terest, which has been waning throughout
the week virtually disappeared this morn
ing and the total of transactions for the
short session were inconsequential-
Some stocks were sold at the beginning
of business, the sharp decline in Canad-
ian Pacific at London being reflected in
a similar fall here. Bear traders soon
saw, however, that their sales had caused
no general selling, and bought back their
stocks in leisurely fashion. subsequent
fluctuations were trivial.
Bonds were easy.
Selling was not continued after the first
few minutes, the market falling into a
rut with general recoveries Trading was
practically confined to half dozen
stocks.

The burglar shut off his pocket cleo

next morning lawyer appeared for
the burglar, and when he was ar

because Smiths identification was

sure OF his man-but tho lawyer
rather shook his certainty. In the
