THE CITIZEN, FRIDAY, fiKPT. 23, 1010. INSAN1TYN0 ML Charlton to Bo Arraigned In Jersey City Today. ITALY IGNORES COUNSEL'S PLEA Paying No Attention to Prlsonar's Mental Condition, and Prosecution Will Ask Court to Refuse to Accept Such Testimony. Now York, Sept. 121. New and un usunl points of lnw will be submitted todny to Justice Blair lu the Hudson county court, Jersey City, when Porter Charlton, who killed his wife. Mary Scott Charlton, at Lake Como, Italy, in June and sunk her body into the lake lu n weighted trunk, will be ar raigned for Ids preliminary hearing In extradition proceedings. It. Floyd Clark, counsel for the Charlton fntnlly, will endeavor to establish that Porter Charlton is Insane and will nsk that he bo confined lu n sanitarium in this country. Tile Italian government, which now appears to be making an honest effort to tret Charlton back to Italy nnd try him for murder, is paying no attention to the Insanity plea. The Italian con sulate In this city Is content to let the nctive work of pushing the extradition Thoto by American Press Association POUTER CHARLTON, matter lie with Emll Fuchs, the law yer who represents Captain Ilenry II. Scott, V. S. A., a brother of the mur dered woman. Mr. Fuchs, while com bating the Idea that Charlton Is insane, says It makes no difference about the mental condition of the prisoner. Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton, Dr. Ar litz of Hoboken, Dr. Dana and other alienists who have been employed by the Charlton family to examine young Charlton have reported that he is in sane. The reports of the experts have been made Into affidavits and are in the pos session of Mr. Clark. It is his inten tion to submit them to the court today nnd to maintain that insanity is n bar to extradition. Mr. Fuchs nnd the Hudson county authorities will ask the court today to refuse to accept any testimony ns to Charlton's mental condition. ONE MAN STANDS OFF EIGHT.

IIKK VIEWS OF PANAMA. Miss Frccmnn Presents Them Entcr tnlnly nnd Concisely, As l'ott Can See. Tho following impressions of her recent Pnnnma trip wero written for Tho Citizen, on the porsonnl solici tation of its publl8hor, by Miss Net tle Freeman, whoso pen works like that of a trained newspaper woman: Tho Pnnnma canal is tho biggest undertaking In the history of man; 30,000 men nro employed. About 30,000 of these nro negroes, 4,000 Spaniards and 5,000 Americnns. To properly feed nnd house this nrmy of men Is another great problem; 37,000 loaves of bread nro sent out every morning from tho government . . . . bakery and every ilvo days a ship load of refrigerated beef arrives at Colon for the uao of government em ployes only. All along the canal there are 2G hotels, 24 messes for European laborers and 24 kitchens for West Indian lnhorers. Tho larg est hotel is the Trlvolo nt Panama, which cost ? 100,000. The building of tho Suez cnnnl was regarded as n great undertaking, but it Is smnll compared with building of Panama cnnnl, as tho construc tion there was through n level desert of Innd. Here great rivers nro en countered and mountains must bo crossed. From tho top of Colebrn cut to the bottom of the completed canal will be n depth of 610 feet. This cut Is 9 miles long. So far at the summit 530 have been excavnted, counting what the French did, and we have 80 feet yet to excavate. Col. Goethals Is czar of tho Isthmus. He has more power in tho republic of Panama than president of the re public. He ha3 been prominent among nrmy engineers for more than 30 years. How much will the Panama canal cost? Col. Goethel, probably the best living authority, says ?375,000, 000 complete. Of this amount 5180, 000,000 has been expended. But this does not take into account tho money spent by tho French, which is said to be between ?200,000,000 and ?300,000,000. Wo paid tho French $4,000,000 for the canal. It Is said the canal will ho completed In 1915. A million and a half dol lars are being spent In wages a month at Panama. The French, who failed to com plete the canal, paid no nttentlon to Its workmen. Uncle Sam makes a specialty of taking good care of his workers on the Isthmus. The streets of Panama and Colon are paved with vitrified brick from America and sanitary conditions are careful ly looked after. Wherever you go along the canal, you find workmen cutting grass and oiling the pools or water, to urive out tho mosquitoes nnd flies which spread disease. In the days when the French- were trying to dig a canal at Panama thousands of labor ers died of disease, as they did at Suez. Between Colon and Panama there Is a railroad station known as Matachun. The word means "Kill a Chinaman." it is saia mat aur ing the French days 40 Chinese lab orers joined hands and walked Into the Chagres river, where they have drowned. They committed suicide rather than face yellow fever. The Chagres river Is one of the great problems In connection with the canal. It Is an insignificant river, but subject to great floods. The route of the canal crosses the Cha gres river 17 times between Colon and Panama and when the canal is completed, the valley of tho Chagres will become a vast lake. This Cha gres river was an enemy to tho French. At Gatum, when the canal Is completed, there will bo a great dam, which will hold the Chagres river. The Gatun locks will raise vessels to height of 85 feet. A mil lion pounds of dynamite a month are used on the Panama canal. Eight hundred machines are used in dril ling holes. The big steam shovels handle rock as easily as they handle earth. Twelve railroad trains are requir ed to transport to and from this work the men who are employed on tho Panama cannl. Tho eight-hour law is enforced as far as possible, al though some of tho men work only six hours, while some of them clnlm thnt they work 9 and 10 hours. The men receive better pay here than similar workers receive in the United States. Men with families pay no house rent and nro able to buy sup plies from government nt cost Will to men occupy nil responsible positions nnd aro known ns gold em ployes, whilo negroes are known as Bllver employes. Every gold em ploye is given nn nnnual vacation of 40 days on pay. There are unions In Panama, but the big canal Is real ly an open shop. Tho soclnl problem In tho cnnnl zone Is serious, also amusing. Tho social standing of white families is regulated by tho pay of tho head of tho houso. Col. Goethals hears com plaints from whoever cares to apply to him. One Sunday n woman np penred boforo him to complain bo- causo n woman a month below her In social scale had moro electric light bulbs in hor house. DIXON ON MILK CONTAMINATION Dr. Dixon In a statement Issued a few days ago pays n trlbuto to the farmer and informs tho public thnt ho Is not alwayB to blamo whon milk Is tho cause of disease says the Wllkes-Barre Itecord. Tho ox ponso involved In keoplng his stock in good shape Is larger than tho avorago porson realizes. Tho com petition is so great that ho receives a very meagro profit for his pro duct. Taking ovorythlng Into con sideration, the profit on milk Is loss than on nlmost nnythlng elso which tho farm produces. Thero is nn in centivo to cleanliness in the fact that tho farmer knows thnt if his milk reaches tho market sweet and clean and pure tho domand for it will ho Increased. Where tho com petition is bo great ho cannot af ford to neglect tho things which tho health authorities and the public domand. It is not Dr. Dixon's intention to exculpate tho farmers from all blamo. Conditions havo becu found at some places that nro nothing short of appalling. Yet tho public must not look to tho farm as the only place where contamination originates. Somo of the othor sources nro mentioned by tho head of tho state department of health. Ho found in tho course of his practice that a baggngemastcr who was suffering with tuberculosis nnd had been ad vised to drink plenty of milk was helping himself from the cans In the car, drinking out of tho lids. At tho stations and along tho streets dealers often purchnso from ench other. The purchaser sticks his fingers Into tho milk nnd then Into his month to determine wlinthnr thn milk is sweet. "Only n few daysjl ngo a man came Into my office," -V,: anva T"li nivnn "fn tnll mn , tin. I says ur. uixon, to toll mo he had jubl wuiiuhsuu ma own iniiKinan I hand n street cleaner n drink of i milk contained In tho lid of his can nml Minn fnn nun 111 nnd then replace tho lid. Doubtless many such things nre being practised. It Is n most difficult task for tho authorities to keep watch over nil conditions of market ing and delivery. And so wo can not hope that all milk delivered to tho homo will ho absolutely pure. But Dr. Dixon Is constnntly urging tho authorities to bo as vigilant as possible. Frequent Inspections cau bo made. Stiff fines can ho Imposed where violations of tho lnw nre de tected. If tho authorities cannot do everything, they can do n great deal. Tho extreme danger resulting from dirty nnd contaminated milk has been pointed out repeatedly and with great force. It Is something that will not hear trifling with. Germs multiply In milk very rapidly, and the only way to keep them out is to keep the milk absolutely clean. PUBLIC ORCHARD MEETINGS. Results of Year's Work to be Studied in State Model Oi-chnrd.s. There will he a public meeting In the orchard of Hull Bros near Way mart, Saturday, Oct. 1, for tho pur pose of showing tho benefits result ing from improved methods hi use in the model orchards conducted un der the co-operation of the division of zoology of the state department of ngriculture. Lectures will he delivered by ex perts from the department nnd an opportunity given for asking ques tions. Determinations of specimens will be made, and growers are Invit ed to bring wigs of diseased or in fested trees for Identification. The model orchard movement was Inaugurated several years ago by Prof. H. A. Surface, economic zoolo gist, for the purpose of familiarizing tho farmer and fruitgrower with the best practical measures available for the control of destructive pests, and in order to show how well these operations have succeeded meetings are held In the orchards where both fruits and trees can be examined by nil who attend. The session begins at 1 p. m. The state's representatives will be pres ent, rain or shine. REPORT OF THE CONDITION OK THE HONESDALE NATIONAL BANK HONESDALE. WAYNE COUNTY. PA.
