tried to open . his suit case. One of the
) ' detectives stepped up o him and accused
' him of being Charlton.
'He displayed violent situation. We were
not qui W sure "of bur identification, so we
' teluphorted to the National City bank In
i New Tork' to check up aomo doubtful
' points.
"We- subjected him to the handwriting
ttest. Ho wrote the nam of 'Jack Cole
man.' We thought that the writing cor
responded closely enough to Charlton's to
.'warrant holding him and Chief Hayes or
' der.d him taken to the police station. There
within half an hour he signed his con
. fesalon."
V form Aids la Identification.
i Charlton was Identified further by his
name, which was found on a laundry bag
In his buggago, and a piece of poetry, which
. was signed "John Kodney" (Porter Charl
, ton).. The poem was dated Washington,
November 21, 1908, and read as follows:
I struck with Idle hands the strings on the
i harp of life;
J Twilight shadows fell across the uplands
. from the stray
Soft, fleecy clouus, and tender shadows hid
i the signs of strife
'Twlxf day and night; and at my touch
' unrolled before the eye
The scroll that each man slowly learns to
,' read, .. ,
; Who soars above- the common things and
j will the heights attain,
5 Whose heart from earthly lust, from sel
I flahness and pride is free
And In It read tliohe words: "Who seeks
for peace must paSB through pain."
Charlton's lawyer, R. Floyd Clark of this
. city, this afitrnoon received a telegram
from Charlton's father In Baltimore, re
- guesting Information.
'. Clark replied, saying, that the arrest had
,' been made.
' Captain Scott said he had asked the
State department to send his sister's body
-borne. , . v., ' ' , . i- - - 4 ;
After :hrlton'a coflfestfton -he, was taken
before Ktcorder McQoverrf and arraigned.
' As the recorder finished reading Charl
'ton's confession the prisoner said In a
steady voice:
VI. beg your -honor's pardon, but there Is
a small mistake. Where that document
reads, 'I have no defense to make and wish
to make none,' it should read, 'or wish
'none.' " ' '
i, "Very well, Charlton," said the recorder,
VI f there are any errors pr omissions in
this stutement you may correct them. Do
you wish to muke any t" '
' "i do," said the confessed uxorclde.
,' "Will you- have a pen?" asked the rt-
jJkrrtef.
"No, thank 'you,", said Charlton causally,
almost airily, "this will do very well," and
Be drew from Ills pocket a bit of pencil
and from the final sentence of the confes
sion struck out the words " to muke."
; Ha slipped the pencil away, folded the
Confession, creased It along the seams,
handed It back to the Judge and then stood
lit ease. ' lS
" Chief Hayes asked that the prisoner be
remanded until -tomorrow.
' "Very well," said the recorder, "the
Vrtsoner Is remanded."
-Charlton held out his hands, a pair of
jfteel bracelets were slipped on them and
lucked and he was led away to a cell.
As he was behig" tttken out, It developed
that the murdered woman's Jewels had Just
been found In, bis ju'gltge.
Captain Scott of the Twelfth const artil
lery, who has been stationed on Fisher's
Island near New London, Conn., was pres
ent vhen Charlton made his confession and
jor a moment U looked as If he might
Jay vktivnt hands on the murderer. Cap
tain Scuu said to Chief Hayes: "I can
hardly kn my hands off of him, but 1
know It U tttr to have the law deal with
him."
Charlton 'jrst for murder gave every
n. who njl the voyage with him from
luUy on '.l t Prlmess Irene a decided
shotK. Th'iy could . not believe that the
niodost, unassuming, gentlemanly young
fellow, wl.a had inada himself so pleasant

of
NEW YORK, June 23.-Tbe arrest of
Charlton and such prosecution lis will fol
low present some unusual questions of In
ternational law. The murder of Mrs
Charlton occurred In Italy and It Is as
sumed that the Italian authorities will
undertake the prosecution.
The Italian authorities will seek extradi
tion through the federal - government at
Washington, which In turn will make Its
representations to the state authorities of
New Jersey.
Thus the extradition treaty rights be
tween Italy and the United States, as
well as the Jaws of New Jersey relating
to the extradition and requisition will
figure In the various legal phases now to
be presented. Meantime tho prisoner Is
held by the authorities of Hoboken under
the New Jersey laws, applying, to: fugitives
suspected of such crimes.
WASHINGTON, June 23. The State do
parment is doing some rapid study of
precedents In extradition law to make
sure whether or not an application in be
half of the Italian government will He In
the case of young Charlton. ,
There Is a reciprocity agreement tn such
matters, which would prevent the United
States in. ordinary cases from hpn9rAog the
demand of the Italian government fortthe

Thlnas Have Done.
ST. PAUL, June 23-President W. C.
Brown of the New York Central railroad,
Frof, J. Lawrence Laughlin of the Univer
sity of Chicago and J. Adam Bede weie
the principal speakers before the Minne
sota Bankers' association, meeting which

on "The Hitsh Cost of Living."
Reports of several groups of the asso
ciation will be made to the cohrentlon this
afternoon, and the closing, act will be the
election of officers.
Speaking on "Tho High Cost of Living,"
President W. C. Brown of the New York
Central lines quoted statistics to show the
increase in the cost of all products of the
farm, factory and mines, and then said In
part:
Economists agree that as the basic metal
(gold) Increases In quantity, the prices of
everything measures by and paid for with
that metal Is invariably enhanced In value.
'For this reason the fay of labor has
steadily advanced and must continue to
advance In some fair ratio with the in
crease in the cost of things that labor must
buy.
"Everything except wages, railroad rates
and fixed Incomes from long-time securi
ties, continuously and almost coincluViuly
adjust themselves to the changing condi-
tlns resultant on this Influx of gold.
"Wages are adjusted from time to time
and securities as they mature will be re
funded on a higher basis. The rates
charged by the railroads must also, under
under the supervision of proper govern
mental authority, be adjusted from time to
time, to meet these conditions."
Agriculture sud liattleshlpa.
"I am in favor of . good navy, but wish
the money expended In building Just one
battleship could be devoted to intelligent
agriculture.
"What one baltloHhlp costs would estab
lish two splendid agricultural experiment
or demonstration farms In every state In
the union, and I will guarantee If this Is
done and the work Intelligently and 'ener
getically carried on that as a result of It
the value of the Increased product of the
nation's farms will within ten years buy
and pay for every battleship of every
navy that floats."

of this region: 'The people of the United
States have reached their Inland western
frontier, and the banks of the Missouri
river are the shores at the termination of
a vast ocean , desert over one thousand
miles in width, which It- Is proposed to

and ' which Interposes a final barrier to
the establishment of large communities,

a .territory, although Us boundaries in
eluded the present state and all of the
Dakotas and part of Montana, Wyoming
and Colorado, its white population was
less than 1,000.
"Among the first settlers were many
speculators, politicians, and professional
men, but few farmers. Territorial war
rants ait 30 cents on the dollar, land scrip
at 10 cents per acre, and town lots were
the early mediums of exchange. Many
state banks were chartered with almost un
limited powers of issue, but the panic of
.1&6 and 1857 destroyed these banks and
made .worthless the city lots, so that
these pioneers early learned the Important
lesson that the real value of this new
country was In the products of the soil
rather than in legislation orjspeculatlon.
From that time forward the land came Into
active demand, and to thie day It has
been the source of all our growth and
progress."

their part in oue of the greatest trans-

of President Taft approvingly as to the
need of law reform and referred to the
president as one of the greatest Jurists of
his time. He denounced the modern meth
ods of trial in murder cases as almost bar

reality there would be supreme court of
ten Judges Instead of six, as at tho present.

PAW-PAIVPILLS
Munyon'g Pw
Taw Pills are un
like all other laxa
tives or cathartics.
They coax the liver
into activity - by
erntie ' ' method.
They do not gcour;
they do not gripe;
they do nut weak
en; lut they do
tart all the secre
tions of the liver
and stomach in a
way that soon puts
these organs in a
healthy condition
and corrects consti-
n
tion. In my
opinion constipation
is responsible for mont ailments. Thcrs
are thirty-two feet of human bowels,
which is really a sower pipe. When this
pipe becomes clogged, the wholo system
becomes poisoned, causing biliousness, in
digestion and impure blood, which often
produces rheumsBtism and kidney ail"
meets. No woman who suffers with con
stipation or any liver complaint can ex
pect to have a clear complexion, or enjoy
good health. - .
