Mr.. Edison what pleased him most in

Der OF people who are deferred from

but solely by fear Of punishment.
Anything that Is calculated to impair

individuals that no matter what atroc-
titles they may perpetrate abroad
they will not be surrendered to the
Government Of the country where the

was argued at first at Washington
that there should be reciprocity be-
tween the two countries in the mat
ter OF the extradition of criminals. and
that lnasmuch as Italy refused to
surrender those OF her subjects who
had sought refuge in their native
LAND after committing m%uriers and
other crimes in America. the United
States could not be expected to give
up Americans who had succeeded in
escaping home after rendering them
selves guilty of grave offences in
Italy.
In response to this the Italian au-
thorities pointed out that their re-
fusal to surrender fugitive criminals
of their W nationality was due. not
to i'll Will. but TO prohibition. both by
Code and Constitution, and that
moreover they were by their laws
competent TO try and to punish their
fellow citizens. for crimes perpetrated
abroad. American law makes no such
provision. and Charlton would have
escaped punishment II he had not
been e~xtradited.

yesterday opened a new collegiate year

The enrolment is unusually heavy and
probably will exceed 1,S00. The work OF
registration still is In progress and will
continue for week or two. The heaviest
enrolment Is In Columbian College, of
which Prof. William Allen Wilbur Is
dean, and the law school, of which Prof
Everett Fraser Is head.
There We're no formalities marking the
opening of the institution. The first as
