PORTER CHARLTON
AWAITS TRIAL IN ITALY
Accused of Numbering Actress
wife, His Quarters Overlook
Their Como Home.

COMO, italy June Exporter Charlton
will not lack friends in the little court
room here when he is placed on trial on
July 4 for the murder of his beautiful
actress wife, Mary Scott Charlton.
The young Americans name Is a house
hold word in the Como Lake region.
The story of the honeymoon murder Is
well known. And the Italians, like the
French, sympathize with both the slain
and the slayer in ''crlme passionelle."
The sympathy extends even to the Of
ficinls and is indicated by their willing
ness to have the question of Charlton 8
sanity introduced in the trial.
Charlton's quarters in the st. Martini
Asylum look down upon the hillside where
he and the woman, years older than him
self, lived in a modest little house, and
upon the spot in Lake Como where the
trunk, bearing the battered body of the
dead woman, was discovered by the Como
fishermen. At every hand he sees the
hills of Como which he and his strange
and beautiful mate used to range In the
early days of their torrid love affair,
when he was only a youth out of the
grind of Wall street bank and she was
world-wearied adventures, seeking
peace and love in the mountains with the
fresh young boy.
chances for a fair trial for Charlton
seem every bit as good as they would
be in the United States. The question
OF his sanity has been brought UP and
for some months he has been living in
well-furnlshed quarters in the asylum,
under the observation of DR.. Valterta
and two other italian allenists. One OF
these alienists already has asserted that
he believes young Charlton was deranged
at the time of the murder
CharltOn's father, a former United
States Judge in Porto Rico has spent
several weeks at Como visiting his son.
Not only here in Como, but all over
Italy, l am told. is there keen interest
in the coming trial. 1t will be a court
room story that will hold the attention
of the country, in spite of the war.

Government Reports Indicate
Wide Use of American Films.
Baby Motion Picture Camera.
BY the Photoplay Editor

Not long ago the United States Govern
ment called upon it's consuls in all parts
Of the world to report on the use Of and
demand for Amerlcan-made motion pic
lures in their districts.
The reports OF the consuls show thet
| the American pictures are the favorites
in most places. The most popular Amer

dramas the American cowboy and Indian
seeming to be favorlte characters in some
parts Of the world, while notably In
Costa Rica the audiences received with
enthusiasm a good society drama which
affects to portray the lives OF American
families Of wealth and social position.
The most striking thing however, about
the reports of the consuls Is the tremen-
dous use of motion pictures revealed by
them. II would seem from these reports
that motion pictures are giving pleasure
to scores and hundreds and thousands OF
people every day In every section OF the
entire earth where there are enough peo-

ALABAMA GOES DRY.

Montgomery, Ala, Jan. 22.-Alabama
will become a prohibition state July
1, under two related measures, which
became laws tonight without execu-
tive approval. Within a few hours
after Governor Henderson vetoed the
bills and had asked the legislature to
submit the prohibition question to the
voters at a special election, both
houses voted down his proposal and
repassed the bills by overwhelming
.E2ajorities.
The vote in the house on repassage
was 70 to 20. In the senate it was
81 to 10.
The prohibition measure practically
re-enact the prohibition law repealed
in 1911, after it had been in force two
years. Under the 1911 local option
law all but eight of the sixty-seven
counties have voted dry.

IMMIGRATION BILL PROSPECTS.

Washington, Jan. 22.-For more
than three hours today President Will
son listened to appeals that he sign
the immigration bill and plead that he
FVeto it, voiced by spokesman of 500
men and women of the White House.
The speakers were labor leaders.
pubIicists, social workers, students
and others, most of them contending
for or against the literacy test. Those
opposed to the bill declared the liter
acy test and others of it's restrictive
features are not true tests of the fit
ness on an immigrant; those adVocat-
ing the bill argued such restrictions
were needed to preserve the standards
of life of American men.
At the conclusion of the arguments
President Wilson said he would act
on the bill soon. Unless he signs or
yetoes it by midnight Thursday it will
become a law without his signature.
The President has Indicated strongly,
however, that he will veto the meas
ure because of the Iiteracy test.
The possibilities of repassing the
bill over the Presidents veto are free
ly discussed in congressional circles.
When President Taft vetoed an immi-
grafton bill because of the literacy
test the Senate promptly repassed it
yer his veto, but a few votes of the
necessary two-thirds was lacking in
the House. Some champions of the
bill believe most houses could now re-
lass it. It's opponents are sure it is.
impossible.
