CHARLTONTO GOTO
SCENE OF CRIME
Knox Grants Italy's Re
quest for Extradition.
RECIPROCITY NOT REQUIRED
State Department Cannot
Consider Insanity Question.
REMARK CONVEYS HOPE
Secretary's Closing Statement Inti
mates Appeal to Courts May Yet
Jle Taken Return te Lake
Como May Be Delayed.
WASHINGTON, Dec 9. Secretary
Knox today granted the request of
Italy for the surrender of Porter Charl
ton, charged with tie Murder of his
wife at Lake Como. The Secretary
holds that the fact that Italy refuses
to surrender her citizens to the United
States for trial does not relieve this
country from the obligation of the ex
tradition treaty to surrender' to Italy
fugitives from Justice from that coun
try. The question of tha sanity of
Charlton. It Is suggested. Is one for
the court and' not for the department
to determine.
Had Secretary Knox refrained from
acting upon this case for six days,
Porter Charlton would have been free,
as the statutes required final action
within 0 days from the date of com
mitment. Final Contention Swept Away.
The final contention of counsel of
the accused on Italy's refusal to sur
render her own citizens and the point
that the Italian demand for Charlton's
surrender had not been made In strict
accordance with the requirements of
the treaty are swept away by the
Srcretary as without basis, and the
committing magistrate's proceedings
are found to have been regular in til
re-peels.
A closing remark by the Secretary Is
significant, carrying the intimation
that Charlton's attorney may have
further recourse to the courts If they
Are Jisposed to raise the question of
Insanity.
'The committing magistrate's record
as transmitted to the department," says
the decision, "discloses no material In
formality !n the proceedings and a
case calling for tha surrender of the
accused under the treaty terms is
made out, unless each such surrender
Is to be defeated by objections raised
by counsel for the accused."
Those objections are In their order:
"First, the the Secretary of State
should decline to surrender the ac
cused and the President should direct
his discharge because the record of
the committing magistrate trans
mitted to the department does not con
tain the formal demand of the Italian
Government for the surrender of the

E
Heavy Strike Vote IsBe
: hind Ultimatum.
RAILWAY MANAGERS ADJOURN
Belief Is That Actual Conflict
Will Be Avoided.
INCREASE OF PAY ASKED
Men Plead That They Have Received
Fewer Advances Than Any Other
Class of Railroad labor.
Arbitration Probable.
CHICAGO, Dec 9. (Special.) Backed
by an almost unanimous strike vote of
33,000 engineers on all the "Western
railroads, Warren S. Stone, grand chief
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive' Bn
gineera. arrived In the city tonight to
present an ultimatum to the railroad
managers. .
Some of the ohalrmen of the different
systems reached the city tonight and
others will arrive early tomorrow. The
official count of the ballots will begin
tomorrow in the Great Northern Hotel
and the result will be announced to the
managers at a conference Monday.
"There never was any doubt In my
mind that the men were ready to strike
to enforce' their demands," eaid Mr.
Stone. "The vote has not been counted
officially, but from the returns made
by the various chairmen I am satisfied
that It will be at least 95 per oent in
favor of a strike."
Arbitration to Be Asked.
The railroad managers who have been
in conference with representatives of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and
the Order of Railway Conductors for the
last two weeks adjourned their confer
ence until Tuesday, to as to permit them
to resume negotiations with the en
gineers on Monday. The action was taken
as an Jndlc'aTlon that the managers do
not expect prolonged conferences with
the engineers at this time.
It is believed they will offer to submit
the entire controversy .over wages and
working conditions to arbitration unae,r
ihn Krdman law. as they feel the last
offer they made to the engineers to In
crease wages 8 per cent is as rar as tney
can go.
Actual Strike Unlikely.
Although the engineers have voted
solidly for a strike, the first time a vote
of the kind has been taken alnce 1SS, It
u, helieved that no strike actually will
occur. The men are asking for an ad
vance of about 15 per cent in wages ana
they make the plea that they have
fewer Increases in the last ten years
than any other class of railroad labor,
while the size of the engines has 'been
increased almost doubling their work.
The railruad managers are expeoted to
appeal to Chairman Knapp, of the Inter
state Commerce Commission and Labor

PREPARE DEIiS
PORTLAND'S BANK
CLEARINGS LEAD
MEMPHIS ONLY NEAR COMPETI
TOR IX RATE OF GAIN.
Seattle, Which Shows Falling Off, Is
Also Outstripped in Total
Volume of Business.
Two cities in the United States have
been making: a close race for first hon
ors in the Increase in weekly bank
clearings.
One Is Portland. Or., and the other is
Memphis. Tenn.
Portland takes the lead over Mem
phis In the total amount of clearings
by more than H.000,000, but Memphis
retaliates by showing' 5 per cent more
In the Increase of business over the
corresponding week of last year. Port
land's clearings for the week ended
yesterday reached the unusually large
amount of $11,436,000. with an Increase
of 31.3 per cent, and Memphis' volume
of business amounted to $10,425,000.
with an Increase of 36.7 per cent.
Only one other city In the United
States comes within striking distance
of either Portland or Memphis; that Is
Detroit, Mich., which showed an in
crease of 28.4 "per cent, the "weekly
clearings amounting to 119.908.000. In.
asmuch as Detroit has more than dou
ble the population of Portland, iC is ap
parent that Portland is able to make a
much better showing than the famous
automobile manufacturing center.
Another feature that Is shown by the
Bradstreet report la that Portland has
outstripped Seattle in the total amount
of clearings. This has been a rare oc
currence. Seattle fell short of Port
land's record by more than , $250,000.
Seattle must be satisfied also with a
decrease of 11.1 per cent in business
compared with that for the same week
last year. Portland has been making a
consistent gain the past two months,
and as Seattle has been unable to hold
Its own during the same period, Port
land's lead was to be expected. That
Portland will maintain its advance over
Seattle in bank clearings is generally
believed.
PERRIN ADMITS THREATS
Action Against Mr. and Mrs. Snell

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9. In the trial
of Charles P. Snell. charged with per
jury, in the United States District Court,
Dr. E. B. Perrln continued today his
testimony under cross-examination by
Snell's attorneys. Judge Bean permitted
Perrin to answer a number of questions
tending to show his knowledge of
land laws. Perrin testified that he had
been acquiring government land for 40
years, but that, at the time of the con
tract between himself and Benson, he
did not understand what state lieu land
was.
A sensation was sprung by Attorney
Bert Schleslnger when he asked Perrin
if he had not told Mrs. Snell that he
would put her and her husband Into Jail
and her children In an institution if
Snell did not make an affidavit declaring
Perrin innocent of the charges of con
spiracy made against him. Dr. Perrin
answered that he had informed Mrs.
Snell that he had been consulting with
his attorneys witn the object of having
an indictment brought against her hus
band. He admitted that his attorney had
told Snell that Mrs. Snell would be ar
rested if she crossed the line into Ari
zona. BLIND GODDESS IN ERROR

Place of Burial Still in
Controversy.
GLOVER IS NON-COMMITTAL
Rumor Says He Will Contest
for Part of Estate.
GENERAL BAKER TALKS
He Declares Members of Late Scien
tist Leader's Household Will Re
ceive Bequests Most of Prop- '
erty Goes to Church.
BOSTON, Mass., Dec. 9. (Special.)
George W. Glover, who came from his
South Dakota home to attend the fu
neral of his mother, today had a long
conference with Archibald McLellan.
chairman of the Board of Directors
of the Mother Church, with respect to
the final burial place of Mrs. Eddy.
Mr. Glover and Dr. Foster-Eddy both
continue to Insist that Mrs. Eddy shall
be buried at Concord, preferably In
Pleasant View. The result of the con
ference oh tliis topic is not known.
That George W. Glover will contest
his mother's will if upon its reading
he and his family are not provided for
to his satisfaction, was rumored to
night, but to inquiries he would only
say that he does not yet know what
the will contains as to himself and his
family and until he does know he can
not say what ha will do.
No Bequests for Relatives.
No bequests, it is well understood,
although not officially so from General
Baker, were made to Mrs. Eddy's son,
George W. Glover, to any members of
his family, to Dr. E. - J. Foster-Eddy,
her adopted son, nor to any of her
other relatives.
In 190S. after the suit of the "next
friend" in equity in the courts of New
Hampshire, Mra. Eddy, through ber law
yers, effected a settlement with George
Glover and his family and with Dr. Foster-Eddy,
and the public was given to
understand at that time that under the.
terms of the settlement the relatives of
Mrs. Eddy waived any and all rights they
might have possessed to contest any will
she might leave.
Baker Makes Statement.
General Henry M. Baker, of Concord,
N. H., second cousin of Mrs. Eddy, to
night made the first authoritative state
ment concerning Mrs. Eddy's will. Gen
eral Baker's statement, while not going
to any extent into details, is Important,
because he is named In the will as tha
executor and he knows what It contains.
"There are saveral bequests to mem
bers of Mrs. Eddy's household and to
personal friends," said General Baker,
"but the Christian Science Church la the
residuary legatee and will receive the
bulk of her property."
It was reported today Calvin S. Fry
was to receive J18.000 under the will. He
was Mrs. Eddy's coachman and confiden
tial man for a great many years and
everyone expects he has been remem
bered in the will-''
Amount Is Not Known.
General Baker was asked if Mr. Frye
is to receive J18 000 and replied: "That
Is not the correct amount." Asked If
Vrra Tva R to Ere t a larger or smaller
amount. General Baker said: "I will not
answer that question."
if la known that Mrs. Laura A. Sar
gent, Mrs. Eddy's housekeeper and com
panion for years, has Been suDsianuauy
r.m.mliptri and it Is also believed that
Rev. Irving C. Tomllnson. who waa one
of the Christian Science lecturers ana
who has lived at the Eddy home for sev
eral years, has been named In the will.
In addition to her two estates. Pleasant
View at Concord and the place at Chest

was the house at 385 Commonwealth
avenue, Boston, which Mrs. i-aay aeeaea
tin. ntiureh some years ago, but in
