Bronxville. alighted from an automobile he was driving last night at the corner of 12T»th street and Seventh avenue and went into a cigar store for a smoke. While he was looking over th< stock two men drew up beside the machine and began to discuss its merits. One of the men. more versed in the in tricacies of the machine than his friend, began to demonstrate how it was started and ?topr*d. To make himself more clear the man cranked the car and worked the ignition switch. "Without warning the car suddenly leaped forward like a bucking bronco and knocked the man fiat on his back. "Without pausing the wild automobile then knocked down Miss Fanny Willen. of No. 24 East 120 th street, bruising her peverelv. It then kept surging ahead and finally bumped its nose into the rear of a big sightseeing automobile directly in its path. The larger machine was shoved back for fifteen feet, the runaway automobile trying to climb over it. The chauffeur of the big car. who had been standing on the curb, suddenly jumped into the seat and set the brakes, causing Higgins's machine to push and puff In vain. In the middle of the excitement, which by this time had drawn a great crowd, Higgins had heard the noise and shouts and rushed out of the cigar store. It did not tak* him long to leap into his car and shut *>ff the power; then he looked around for the man who had caused all the trouble, but that individual had picked himself up and disappeared In the crowd.

CAUGHT ON LONG TOW ROPE Vessel Not Badly Hurt, Works Clear and Keeps on Up the Sound to Stamford, Get ting There for Dinner. Her bow cutting the water of Hell Gate, through which was running a strong ebb tide, the 150-foot steam yacht Christabel, the property of Walton Fer guso.i. sr.. of Stamford. Conn., a mem ber of the New York Yacht Club, headed for Tx>ng Tsland Sound yesterday after noon with a large party of Mr. Fer guson's friends aboard. The vessel, one of the handsomest in the New York Yacht Club, had little trouble in fight ing: the tide, which was running: against her. As the vessel was in the middle of the treacherous channel and half way on her i-.-u-s.iff through it she passed a doughy little tug. puffing: along down the river with a large barge behind, at tached to a long hawser. As the Chris tabel passed her the tide and wash of the tug suddenly caused her to swerve in her course, and before her*skipper could prevent it she was riding the water between the barge and the tug and over the hawser, which lay low in the water. While Mr. Ferguson and his friends crowded to the rails to watch with anx iety the outcome the Christabels cap tain did his best to get her out of the way of the barge, which, propelled by the strong tide, was bearing down upon her. The captain shouted orders, and the crew and captain of the tug. some distance away, called suggestions, while the guests looked on. rather scared. As the excitement reached its height, and despite the captains best efforts, the barge struck the Christabel squarely on the starboard bow. The yacht shivered under the impact of the blow, but almost immediately, aided by the tide, swung clear of the barge and got into safe water. Without help she made off toward her destination under her own steam. Examination of the bow was made later and it was found that the damage done would not delay the vessel's trip. Mr. Walton con vinced his friends that his craft was all right and the party recovered from the excitement. It was said at the home of Mr. Fer guson, in Stamford, last night that no one was hurt aboard the yacht. Mrs. Ferguson was one of the members of the party. She and Mr. Ferguson reached their home in time for dinner last night and retired early. Mr. Fergu son is a member of the banking firm of J. & S. Ferguson, with offices at No. 15 William street, and is a director in many corporations, among them the Edison Electric Illuminating Company of Brook lyn and the Kings County Electric Light and Power Company.

I ITALY'S ATTITUDE MAT FREE CHARLTON Growing Belief in Washington of Possible Escape of Confessed Slayer of Wife. BUSY IN DEFENCE HERE Counsel for Wife's Brother Seeks to Hasten Action of Authorities and to Insure Trial in Italian Courts. fFrom The Tribune Bureau.] Washington. June '24.— While there have been few developments in the Oharlton case here to-day, the impres sion appears to be growing stronger in official circles that Charlton will go free, as was suggested in The Tribune this morning. In this connection it is sur fe-estt (1 by one of the ablest lawyers in the administration that the quickest way to test the situation would be for Judge Charlton, father of the prisoner, to ap ply for a writ of habeas corpus, which, it is believed, would bring the case promptly before the courts and pos sibly result in the discharge of the pris oner. Italy has made no formal application for Charlton's extradition, although it is said that some representations have been made, but these are aescribed as am biguous and as not of a character which would warrant action by the Department of State, nor is it believed the Italian government will be disposed to go further in an effort to bring Charlton to justice. As was pointed out in The Tribune this morning. Italy cannot formally de mand Charlton's extradition without stultifying itself. That country has taken the position more than once that the existing treaty does not provide for the extradition of a citizen of either of the signatories for trial in the other country, and any formal demand for Charlton's extradition would involve the abandonment of that position. Italy's Position Difficult. Italy's position, according to the un derstanding, is made the more difficult for the reason that the Italian penal code specifically declares that no Italian sub ject shall be extradited from his own country for trial in any other country. As a matter of principle, what is termed "mutuality," this government would not consent to the extradition of one of its citizens for trial in Italy unless Italy were to abandon its former position and pledge itself to construe the treaty in the same way were a demand made by the United States for the extradition of an Italian charged with the commission of crime in the United States. The ablest lawyers m the. administra tion further express the belief that there is no law under which Charlton can be tried in the United States for a crime committed in Italy, and itjs on the rea soning set forth that the belief is held that it will be found necessary to release Charlton whenever habeas corpus pro ceedings may be instituted. It is regarded as reasonably sure that the Department of State will have to re view the proceedings at Hoboken before final disposition of the case is made, and there will probably be, therefore, no at tempt to advise the New. Jersey author ities until all the papers in the case have reached Washington. Recorder McGovern asked the Depart ment of Justice to-day by telegraph what were its wishes in regard to Charl ton, and Solicitor General Bowers, Act ing Attorney General, telegraphed back that the matter was in the hands of the State Department. ALIENISTS STUDY CHARLTON Lay Foundation of Insanity Plea — Case in New Court. The affairs of Porter Charlton, who confessed on Thursday to the murder of Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Charlton, his wife, at Uake Como, Italy, went on yes terday with a speed that bade fair to set a record in international criminal cases. The fight on his extradition is already under way, with a battery of alienists and lawyers in eager consultation for the defence ranged against the Italian government, the prosecuting officers of New Jersey and the family of the mur dered woman. Soon after noon four alienists employed by the defence were closeted with Charlton in the county jail, on Jersey City Heights, and ren.ained with him for an hour and a half, laying the founda tion of the insanity plea of the defence. At about the same time the Marquis Paolo di Montagliari. the Italian Charged d'Affaires in Washington, was preparing the papers for the application to the State Department for extradition papers, while Gustavo di R«sa. the acting Italian Consul in this city, under direction of Assistant Prosecutor George T. Vickers of Hudson County, was swearing to the compjaint to remove the case from the municipal jurisdiction of Hoboken to municipal jurisdiction of Hudson County. In the mean time' Emil E. Fuchs, at torney for Captain Henry H. Scott, brother of the dead woman, was seeking to intervene in the case through the State Department at Washington. Mr. Fuchs has been attorney for the family for the last two years, and acted for Mrs. Charlton, then Mrs. Castle, when she attempted to shoot William B. Craig in the Waldorf last year. Mr. Fuchs foresaw the probability of an effort to free Charlton on a writ of habeas corpus, as he was held in the Hotibkan jail without a definite charge against him. After a consultation with the Italian acting consul and the New j erse y officers the complaint was sworn out and he was removed from the custody of the municipal officials and placed in the county jail. Complaint Charges Murder. The complaint is addressed to Judge John A. Blair, of the Hudson Cuunty Cottli of Oyer and Terminer, and charges Charlton with the murder of his wife ;t t Multraiso, in the province of Como, Italy.

I CLASS DANCES AS A CLUB KAISER AT HELM LOSES East Orange High School Gradu ates Circumvent "Color Line." NEGRO GIRLS NOT INVITED Police on Hand at Woman" s Club to Prevent Trouble — Newark Students "Draw Line." [By T>lejrraph to The Tribune. 1 Kast Orange. N. J.. June 24.—Trans formed overnight from the class of '10 of the East Orange High School .nto "The East Orange Social Club." seventy seven of the members of that class of seventy-nine pupils held a "subscription dance" to-night at the Woman's Club, the place which had been originally choeen for the dance that the negro members of the class had announced their intention of attending with male escorts of their own race. The two who were not there were Miss Isabella Vandervall and Miss Irene Van ■dervall. the negro members of the '10 class, but not of '"the club." Word had been passed around between the cancel lation on Monday of the class dance and to-night that the dance itself, but under a changed title, would go on just the same. The Misses Vandervall were not told of the true state of affairs. John Herbert Hermann, secretary of the class and manager of the dance that was to be. was at the dance to-night, but he disclaimed having anything to do wjth its management. "This is only a subscription, dance." he said, "and has nothing to do with the class of '1O of the high school. It is given by the "social club.' " He said the "Social Club" had been in existence for a year and a half. In spite of the statement of the class secretary the police were -Id to look out for trouble and officers were on hand. The Vandervall girls said that they never had thought of trying to attend from the time the class dance was given up. In order to avert a repetition of the trouble in the East Orange High School over the "color" problem, the gradates of the Barringer High School, in New ark, who are arranging a post-graduate dance, have decided to call their dance a "subscription dance," so as to prevent the colored graduates from obtaining tickets. The closing exercises of the school were held Thdisday night, and it la said that one of the white girls dropped out of line when she saw that she would be paired with one of the negro boys in the march to the plat form. In marching in pairs the pupils were carrying out the instructions of Way land E. Steams, th«) principal of the scbool, who had warned them that they must not repeat their action of class night a week ago, when they marched in single file, so that none of the white pupils would have to march side by side with the negroes.

BRIBERY ALLEGED BY SENAIOR GORE Says $50,000 Was Offered Him Not to Oppose Indian Land Contracts in Oklahoma. A BIG STEAL CHARGED Story Involves Two Present Congressmen and Two ex- Senators Who Are Not Named —Congress Holds Up Claims. "Washington. June 24.— Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, disclosed to-day what he interpreted as an effort to brib* him la I connection with legislation affecting: the fortune in attorneys* fees claimed by J. F. afcMurray. of Oklahoma, for services rendered to the Chootaw and Chickasaw nations in land and townslte cases.. The charge created a sensation in the Senate, which later extended to the | House. The latter body In consequence 1 sent back to conference the general de : ficiency bill, which carried an Item re lating to contracts between the Indians ' and their attorneys. Senator Gore finally involved % mem ber of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, a member of the House Com mittee on Indian Affairs and two former Senators — from Nebraska and th« other from Kansas— but whose name* were not made public in debate. » An Investigation Probable. In response to a suggestion by Senator Bailey that he should name the Senate ! member of the Indian Affairs Commit tee Mr. Gore demurred, but ! declared that he would welcome an investigation of the charges, so that the whole mat- I ter might be brought out before a body authorized to deal with his allegations. Mr. McMurray declared to-night that the charges reflecting on him In con nection with his work in the Choctaw and Chickasaw land and town site cases I were absolutely false. Mr. Gore was compelled to address IM Senate three times before that body was I fully aroused to the seriousness of the ! charges he made. His first effort was ' in connection wi-h the adoption of the 1 conference report on the deficiency bill. which had been .presented by Senator Hale. As passed by the Senate that ' measure contained an amendment which would nullify contracts made, by the Choctaw and Chickasaw* nations and by individual members of these tribes with '. their attorneys unless the contracts were appro- d by Congress. This provision was in accordance with a resolution introduced by Mr. Gore on May 4 last.
