COURT CREDITS INSANITY
Plea Held Improperly Introduced ill
Entradltlon Proceed4ng. but
Way My Be Found to
Present It at Trial.
WASHINGTON, June 10. Three years
tH a day after the discovery of the,
body of his wife in the waters of Lake
COTOO, Italy, Porter Charlton lost his
fiprht against being: turned over by his
native land to the Italian government
for trial m a charge of murder.
The Supreme Court sustained today
the Btate Department's decision to de
liver Charlton in compliance with
Italy's demand.
Charlton was a bank clerk In New
York, and his father. Paul Charlton,
was a rlassmttte of ex-President Taft
and until recently Federal Judge in
Porto Rico. The young man has been
;ield In jail In New Jersey since his
arrest nearly three years ago.
Insanity Plea Impress?.
Insanity was alleged as the main
ground for opposing Charlton's re
moval to Italy, and it was further con
tended that the United States could
ni extradite one of Its citizens to
Italy lna.miio:i as that country hud re
fused to extradite its subjects to the
United State.". The Supreme Court
held today Charlton had no right to
present evidence ox his insanity at
the extradition hearing, and that the
contention as to the power to extradite
was erroneous.
Justice L,urton In announcing the
rourt's decision, however, said that
"Impressive evidenre" of insanity had
been offered In Charlton's behalf. It
is believed a way will be found to pre
sent this conclusion at Charlton's trial
In Italy.
Mandate Soon to Issue.
The mandate of the Supreme Court,
by which its decision will be presented
officially to the New Jersey courts
having jurisdiction over Charlton, will
be issued shortly after the court ad
journs for the Summer June 16.
The killing of Mrs. Porter Charlton
stirred Europe and America as have
few murders of recent years. With the
discovery of her Wody stuffed Into a
trunk and sunk In Lake Como. Italy,
where she had been with her husband
to spend her honeymoon, both con
tinents turned to search for the mur
derer. The first great problem to solve was
the whereabouts of the 21 -year-old
liusb&nd. who, as a bank clerk in New
York, had married the woman, eivht
ears older than himself and the di
vorced wife of Neville H. Castle, a San
Francisco lawyer. His father, Paul
("harlton. law adviser of the Bureau of
Insular Affairs and ex-President Taffs
classmate, was firm in the conviction
that his son, too, had been murdered.
That question was solved when Porter
Charlton, with his initials marked on
his suitcase, arrived on a steamer from
Italy, a few days later at Hoboken, N.
J. That night there appeared a confes
sion bearing his name,
Extradition Look Contested.
With the acceptance of the confes
sion as a solution of the crime, there
arose almost at once the diplomatic
problem of Charlton's extradition. It
was admitted on all hands that Charl
ton could not be tried in the United
States for a crime committed in Italy.
Italy made a request for the prisoner.
Secretary Knox parried by asking if
Italy thereby meant to waive its past
interpretation of the treaty. Months
of diplomatic exchanges followed.
Judge John A. Blair, of the Court of
Oyer and Termin in Hudson County
N. J., sitting as Federal extradition
magistrate, held Charlton subject to ex
tradition. Charlton s father applied to
the Circuit Court of the United States
for New Jersey for his release on
habeas corpus proceedings, holding that
the treatv did not justify the extradi
tioi and that evidence of sanltv should
have been received. The Circuit Court
refused to grant his release, but Charl
ion appealed to the Supreme Court. It
was this appeal that was acted upon
today.

JKttSEY CITY. N. J June 10.
Porter Charlton received the news
that he was to be extradited in the cell
In the Hudson County Jail, where he
das been confined since his arrest
three years ago. He declined to make
any comment on the decision.
The Jail officials say he has been a
model prisoner and has made many
friends among both fellow prisoners
and his jailers. His father, who led the
long fight to prevent his extradition,
has been his most frequent visitor.
The prisoner's health has not been
affected by his long; confinement, it
was said, and up to today he was con
ildvnt of his eventual release.

WASHINGTON, June 10. Klimina-
tion of the anti-dumping clause of the
Underwood tariff bill, which would
exact additional duties on all imports
sold in this country at less than the
foreign market price, was recommended
today by the Senate finance sub-com
mittee. In charge of the administrative
features of the measure.
This clause as it passed the House
was not extended to articles on the free
list and was objected to by the Sen
ate leaders on the ground that it was
discriminatory.
It was first proposed that the pro
vision bo amended to include the free
list, but this was finally abandoned as
solution of the problem, many Sen
ators concluding that the whole clause
Is Impracticable and that it would pre
cipitate retaliatory action on the part
of the foreign nations which would be
disadvantageous to the extension of
American trade in the markets of the
world.
Penalty Clause Provided.
The clause would provide that goods
sold here at less than the foreign price
should be dutiable at a rate equal to
the difference between the consign
ment and home market price; goods
dutiable at 50 per cent or more to be
exempt.
The sub -committee is still laboring
with the provision, also objected to by
foreign countries, which would require
foreign manufacturehs to submit their
books in cases of valuation disputes
This Is certain to be modified, if not
stricken from the bill.
The majority members of the com
mittee began today the consideration
of sub -commit tee reports and ratified
changes In the chemical and lumber
schedules, which materially enlarge the
free list. All cedar lumber is placed
on the free list Instead of being duti
able at 10 per cent, and slight increases
and decreases are proposed in the du
ties on other lumber.
Coal Tar Dyes Reduced.
In the chemical schedule practically
all coal tar dyes either have been ma
ter tally reduced or placed on the free
list, and tanning extracts were re
duced.
The sub-committee in charge of the
agricultural schedule came to a con
elusion today relating to the much
discussed rates on oats and oatmeal
The Underwood hill made oats dutiable
at 10 cents a bushel, with oatmeal artd
rolled oats on the free list. In equallz.
ing them the Senate sub-committee has
now decided to recommend a duty of
$ cents on oats, except for feed, which
shall be 9 cents, and a duty of 33 cents
per 100 pounds on oatmeal and rolled
oats. In addition to the proposed coun
tervailing duty on cattle, another pro
vision being considered is that cattle
should not come in free from any coun
try which does not require as rigid In
spection of live animals as does the
United States.
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
finance committee. Issued a statemen
tonight relative to the position of the
President and the committee on plac
ing of agricultural products on the
free list.
"I wish to say." said Senator Sim
tnons, "that, while the President has
expressed to the members of the
finance committee strong views and
convictions with respect to placing on
the free list both sugar and wool, he
has not, so far as I know, expressed
any views as to other provisions of the
bill, except when his opinion has been
asked, and has not attempted to die
tate to the committee.
"The view current to the effect that
a sub -committee of the finance com
m it tee had decided to recommend tha
wheat and livestock, as well as meat
and flour, should go on the free list a

dent is not correct.-

Girl Identifies Dead Man.
Coroner Burget believes he has
fixed the man's identity through Miss
Bessie McCullough, aged IS, of Echo,
to whom was addressed an envelope
found on the dead man's person. Sev
eral love letters, with the names ob
literated and a ticket from -Pendleton
to The Dalles were also found In the
youth's pocket. The coroner talked to
Miss McCullough by telephone tonight.
and she said she thought the dead man
was Cecil Pettyjohn, of Dayton, Wash.
A fellow answering the description
of the dead man is said to have ap
peared at The Dalles feed yard a
few hours before the killing and told
