T Boyish Murderer May Go From Jail a Free Man. AN 'JNPRECEDENTED SITUATION Oannot be Tried Under the Laws of New JerseyUp to United Stales Italy May Not Grant Extradition. Family Declare Young- Man Insane New York, Special. Porter .Chari ton will not be tried for murder in the courts of New Jersey. Whether he beat his wife on the head into in sensibility with blows with a .wooden mallet at Lake Como, Italy, and then stuffed her, still living, into a trunk and. sank the trunk in. the waters of the lake, is a matter outside the jurisdiction of the New Jersey courts. On the other hand, he will not be released until the question -of his sanity is determined. ThisHs assured by the Charlton family, who announ ced through counsel that if the youth's mind proves dangerously un sound they would take the initiative in having him committed to some suitable institution. The attitude of the New jersey courts, as defined by Prosecutor Pierre (Jarven of Hudson "county, is this: "The State of New Jersey now holds Charlton merely on the com plaint of the Italian consul general as a fugitive from Italian justice, pending ar request for his extradition from the Italian Department of State through the Italian minister to Secretary Knox of the American De partment of State. If extraditfon is not demanded there is absolutely no action that the courts of this State can take. Whether th Federal courts can still step in is, a matter outside my province and on which Jhe-Attorney General of the United -States is more competent to -pass ppinion." Thus there is a possibility that Charlon may walk from jail a free man without trial, for the general trend of the dispatches from Rome seem to indicate "that the - '"Italian jovernirent will act in' the matter vririi reluctance, if at all, since the demand of extradition to Italy of an American subject who has committed a crime within Italian jurisdiction would imperil a cherished Italian precedent. Nevada Governor Won't Stop Fightv Ogden, Utah, Special. Governor .Diekerson, of Nevada, will not inter fere with the Jeffries-Johnson fight.

Be certain to qualify that statement as to the fake fight." Jack Johnson Goes Too Fast. San Francisco. Special.

COLUMBUb, POLK COUNTY, N. SENATE SENSATION Blind Senator Gore Exposes i Bribery Attempt. CONCERNING ATTORNEY FEES. Senators and Representative, and j Other Ex-Officials and Prominent People Involved in Ugly Charges i Affecting Congressional L&gisla j tion Legislators Stirred Lobby Maintained Investigation Will T Ordered. Washington, Special. ! Senator Gore of Oklahoma disclosed in tne Senate Friday what he interpreted as an effort to bribe him in connection with legislation affecting the fortune in attorneys' fees claimed by J. F. McMurray of Oklahoma for i services rendered to the Choctaw and Chiek asaw nations in land and town siU eases. , : j The charge created a sensation in the Senate which later extended to the House. The latter body; in con sequence sent back to conference the general deficiency bill which carried an item relating to contracts between the Indians and their attorneys. As a reult of the denouement," Sen ator Gore finally involved a ! member of the Senate committee on Indian affairs, a member of the House com mittee on Indian affairs, two former Senators one from j Nebraska, and the other from Kansas but whsoe names were not made public irUde bate. " ' ' '"'j ' . It is not improbable that an) in vestigation will be ordered. Mr. Gore was. compelled to address the Senate three times before that body .was ful ly aroused to the seriousness of the tharges which he -madV His first effort was in connection with the adoption of the conference report on ihe deficiency bill, which had been presented by Senator Hale. As passed py the Senate, that measure! contain ed an amendment which would render iiuD and void contracts made by the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations and by individual members of these tribes with their attorneys, unless the con tracts were approved by Congress. This provision was in accordance with a resolution introduced by Mr. Gore on May 4 last. Jt was! designed to prevent Mr. McMurray from ob taining fees 'which, it is said would aggregate $3,000,000 and ' which Mr. Gore complained had not been earn ed by the attorney. I Mr. Gore explained that on May 4 last, he had offered a resolution sim ilar in terms to the amendment he had placed in the deficiency bill in the Senate and that it had! been re ferred to the committee on Indianaf fairs. On the following day Senator Hughes had bee? directed to mak? a favorable report on the resolution, he said. i ; "On May 6," excalimed Mr. Goie, 'a man came to me with aniimproper suggestion. He was a representative of Mr. McMurray, a resident of my home town, and had been my friend in time of need. He assured me it. Would be to my financial interest if I would call on the Senator from Colorado and advise him not to re port the resolution. There .was a sug gestion that $25,000 or $50,000 would be available if the contracts I were not prohibited. I arr informed that a ; similar proposition was made Thurs day to a member of the House of Rep rcsentatives. " Mr. Gore also charged that an "ex Senator from Nebraska and an ex Senator from Kansas are interested in these contracts" and declared that a large lobby was maintained in Washington in that interest.! He said that he felt in honor bound to con tinue these efforts "to prevent this steal from those defenseless Indians in Oklahoma." Boost Taft Administration. . St. Paul, Minn.,. Special.

J WORK FOR CAROLINAS Hxtracts Prom Address of Clarence Poe, Editor of The Progressive Farmer and gazette, Raleigh, N. 0., Before the; South Carolina Press Association, Glenn Springs, S. 0., June 14, moll 1 . ' v . M !..! Both CarolinasVneed and must have a larger proportion of white people, The whole South; in fact, is still too sparsely settled. ' Our eleven South ern States. "excluding Texas, support only 16,000,000 people of both races, and only 10,000,000 white people, while the samej area in Europe sup ports over 160,000,000 white people. And, it must be ' remembered that up to a certain point which we shall not reach for centuries yet, and other things being eqiial, prosperity depends upon density of - population. Popula tion makes wealth, provided that it is normally intelligent and efficient. The Sort of Immigration We Need. Of course, we do not want the lower-class European immigration! If we can get immigration from England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Holland, Sweden, etc., the countries whose blood has gone to make up our vigor ous American stock it would be of great help to us. We are all of us such immigrants;! ourselves or descen dants of such; immigrants. From some countries' of Southern and Eastern Europe,- on the other: hand, immigration is of a decidedly lower order and objectionable because of a low standard oi intelligence and effi ciency. If.- On the very "same principle, . how ever, immigration of; a normal or high standard of intelligence and efficiency is desired. Suck immigration ; can be had, and ought to ;be had in some measure perhaps; from our English, Scotch, Dutch, land Irish kinsfolk across the sea-rfbut! chiefly from our Northern and -Western States. For years now hundreds of thousands of the most enterprising and progressive farmers in the Middle West have been going intOfCanada with its long hard winters iAd bitter climate, not only, giving up: lAmerican citizenship, But actually pajylng two to three times as. much for land iri that inhospitable region as land jqf the same 'fertility commands in ihe South. We ought to have brought these men to the South. They know our. institutions, our language, they are industrious thrifty, wide-awake, and many of them are of Southern ancestry who should naturally come back home. Let's bring them back. Immigration- to Solve the Race Problem. If there were no other reason for advocating such immigration from the Noith and : West, I should favor it as our-surest deliverance from our race problem. I The proportion of ne groes to whites, is too large in every Southern Stated and my hope is that ultimately the I tides of migration and immigration will equalize population until the proportion of negroes in no State will exceed 20 per cent. We must train the j negro the more ignor ant he is the! greater the burden on the Souths but at best the process will be slow, aid at present it would probably not be too much to say that in considering 'our whole population, including our great constructive lead ers andi captains of industry, the average nesro lin the Carolina in economic wort fi and efficiency is only half as useful- as theV average white man.. In other words, in rating gen eral average of efficiency we should put the white man at 100 and the negro at 50, so that a county hal white and half : negro would have an' average efficiency of 75, or a handi cap of 25 per cent as compared witb a, county with!; an! exclusive white population of ? a normal degree of efficiency. j. Whether or hot the difference is as much as I have indicated, certain it is that the larger .the proportion of whites, the higher the average 'of ef nciency, tne more prosperous will be our every industry,! and the better it will be for every individual citizen, including the negroes themselves. Two Ways to Build Up the Carolinas. There are just two great ways to build up the Carolinas. First and of paramount importance is Education of all our people;- and I should only supplement this by putting more ear nest emphasis J.upon practical educa tion, educatio$ that trains for effi ciency, not education suited to the great urban centers of Europe and the North, butjjeducation suited to the needs of a great, awakening agricul tural citizenship such as ours is and must be. . " j ' ! And second; only to Education, is Immigration, fi i v. - k 3,000,000 Instead of 600,000 i White t r South Carolinians, j .Now let usf start rieht not ' by seeking immigrants from Southern Europe, but by! advertising our re source's to thejj thrifty, enterprising and Progressive farmers of the North and West men of our own stock who now only need an invitation to make them come. Emerson was right when he said that.. V every man who comes into a city with . anv purchasable talent or skill in him give. to every man's labor in the city a new worth," and if an ignorant negro slave in the old davs was wortj $1,000, certainly we may assume that a thrifty and in telligent white Westerner, bringing not only himself, but in most cases substantial accumulations as well, should be worth man times as much as an asset to1 the State. 4 , The last census year North Caro hna had only 1,200,000 white people. It should have: 4,000000.- South Car olina ,had less than 600,000 whites when it should have 3,000,000 and would then be even with its 800,000 negroes, only one-third as thickly settled as Massachusetts ! Consider for a moment how much more in fluential our papers would be, how mueh more important every institu tion in the State would be, how much more varied would be our industries, how much easier it would be to get good roads in! counties in which the white population is now too small to maintain themj how easv it would be to double the usefulness of our pub fio schools, how quickly we should build railroads in sections which must therwise remain dormant and back ward for long, long, years how import ant our cities should become and how much more attractive would be coun try life in our thickly, settled com munities, and how much easier it would be to get telephones and water works and trolley lines and local li bi aides and all the advantages of twentieth century rural life ! ; Let us take as our watchword "Ed ucation and Immigration Both of the-Right Sort." r A Dream of South Carolina's Future. In the last census v ar 234,062 na tive sons and j daughters of South Carolina were jliving in other States (to say nothing of the million sons and daughters of South Carolina emigrants), while South Carolina had received from other States' and coun tries only 60,744 settlers. ! ; For seventy years fcow j our Caro linians have been going West to build up the new States of the great empire. Now let us welcome back i their chil dren and neighbors to help j us build two great, prosperous and populous Commonwealths, where the masses of the, peopled trained to as! high'stan. dards of efficiency, as any where in thr world, shall develop a symmetrical and well-rounded civilization! i splen did and forcible democracy of train ed, intelligent and thrifty home owners from among whom; shall come not only a Jefferson and a Marshall, not onlv a James J.. Hill and a Thomas A. Edison and a Seaman A. Knapp, not only men whom "aft the nation shall know as leaders in indus try and in public affairs, but poets and seers, sculptors and artists if not a Titian at least a Reynolds or a Millet, if not a Michael Angelo at least a St. Gaudens or a Ward, if not a Shakespeare at least a Brown ing or a Tennyson, if not a Savona rola, at least some great religious leader who shall put the church ito vital relations to modern thought and give it a new baptism of spiritual power all these until our long -and tragic years of war and struerele and rebuilding shall find their; fruitage in an outburst of achievement such as our fathers vearned for. and it is now our highj privilege to help bring about. i - Victory for Printers.

Nothing 6,000 of 27,000 Bills Con-f ; sidered 300 Public Laws Ehacted, ! Postal Savings Bank Bill a Law ; ! Appropriations Not Near as j Large as Demanded by the People Washington, Special. Joseph ,G. Cannon summarized the work of Con gress in a statement he gave to the press. The i Speaker paid most at tention to the legislative ; work ae-' complished, referring only incidental ly to the fight which had been made on the rules 1 of the House. The re form of the rules, he said, had re sulted in little advantage, y The Speaker declared that the Con gress just ended had done more and better work than any Congress- of which he had been a member during his thirty-five years of service in the House. After recounting the legisla tion enacted,! the Speaker said : ' ! "This work of legislation has gone on quietly, but effectively, while those who view Congress from a dis tance have been assuming that the House was doing nothing but chang ing its rules. The changes of rules have contributed to the pleasure and perhaps the power of some individ-' uals in the House; but the current of legislation itself has moved on as usual with little disturbance on ac count of a few new methods and with little advantage therefrom . "I do not think the work o a Con-' gress should be measured by the vol ume of business but by the character of the legislation, and the, care taken hi its consideration. Measured' by -that standard the sixty-first Congress will take a high place in the record, of legislation. There have been, how- ( ever, more than , 6,000 of the -27,000 bills considered and reported from . committees apd ahout 300. public; Jaws enacted in this session, as against 400' public laws for the entire Sixtieth Congress. I can commendl the entire membership of the House for; in dustry and intelligence in their, legist latiye work of this session." '. ' ' : "This Congress has not only revis ed the tariff, without disturbing bus iness, but it has enacted important- -legislation, amending the interstate'' commerce taw, making that law more.. effective, giving the Interstate .Com merce Commission greater power and-. creating a court of commerce and this without seriously affecting the busl- ness of the railroads or checking their increase of wages to their era- - ployes. This seems to me to meet the N definition of statesmanship in legis-' J " lation. The Speaker then detailed other legislation which had been enacted. ' "The appropriations," he said. - - 1 1. l i i V ' nave ueeii large dui nonneanjr as , large as demanded by the people who were agitating over, the development of various departments of the goV-, ernment.
