In his criminal form Mr. OeteMbi Smith
<WSS 8 yjrvivaJ of the Renaissance. He

i^jr his life in an Oxford quadrangle,
qsite happy and quite useful in a way —
in the: way of the quadranple. But there
»a«s another Geldwin Smith, a kind of
apostlr, with a message from en High
to preach the Gospel. That is the Gold
■ain Smith the world knew for near
sixty years.
Tet ti?e hit-pel hr preached was his
cu-n, and not always the same. More
over, from time to time the original
Goldvin Smith reappeared, as it did at
Cornell. That was after he had en
<!-:re<3 a period of disappointment.
But the impression he left after many
jrsrs of acquaintance was the same.
"VYe met, net frequently, but always on
exactly the same terms. He wrote to
m«e. not frequently, yet in the course of
years a large number of letters; all ex
actly alike. We were friend?, but never
paid anything about It. His letters be
par.. "My Dear Smaliey," and plunged
at once into the discussion of the topic
at tliat moment uppermost in his mind;

abruptly. Within four pages he would

clearness he tised '.v. print; then without
a. word ■' transition, "Very truly : ■ours.
Goldwin Smith." At one time he wrote
Triurh about Canada and her relations
to the United States, and the inevitubil
i:y of her annexation ay the United
Stales, for commercial if not political
reasons. He was surprised that T. as
En American, did not share his views,
but he never tired of stating and re-
EtatJag them, until ■■■ : he either
ebandoned them BSjetf. or became con
vinced that neither in Canada nor in
the United States was there any im
portant party of his mind.
I kept these letters, and if I could get
Jeave from his executors would print
them, or some of them. But I am under
no temptation at present to do it with
out leave, for they are all locked up. with
n creat many more Dot less valuable, in
a safe deposit vault in Mew York. And
1 have not the courage to disturb them.
When we met much the same thins
happened as when we wrote. A word or
two. perhaps of greeting, and then to
business. I used to think it a pity his
Interests were so many. As be could not
deal with them ai! exhaustively he dealt
•vith moet of them fragmentary. He
became a journalist. He wrote, no matter
••••' and on whatever «rabject had him
Et the time in its grip. "The Bystander,"
which he founded and supported, never.
I think, had a large circulation, nor ever
nrjch influence except of a secondary
Xin-j: often the most important of all. I
mean Ikes he reached the minds of other
writers and editors, and of many who
were neither, but read this queer sheet
!a i#er to know what Gold 1 * in Smith
vas thinking- about. Xo medium of
communication with the public i as too
insignificant. When he used it it ceased
to be !nsirnificant.
H<? did much for Oxford. He did much
for Cornell- His multifarious activities
vcrr likely to lv productive whether
they --<• —-d to be rijfht or seemed to
succeed or not. For his was a fertilizing
rr.ind, and stony indeed must be the
pround where what he eawad would not
take root. But if I am to fcin^Je out one
«<rrvio«? he did I should take "The United
State?: An Outline of Political History.
IflE-lSn." He meant it chiefly for
IlTiniand. But it happens to be the baal
bistory of its kind therr is, whether for
Americans or English, nd it was the
first history in which the anti-English
rrej'jdic* which disfigures most histories
by American writers had teen omitted.
The good example has since been fol
lowed, bat it was Goldwin Smith ■■« set
ihe exampic. It i?, moreover, a master
piece of narrative. The author was for
po many years ,-.: cawed by Canadian* of
beta* too American that to Americans
he tan net but be known as a friend. Tet
let ipe quote a sentence from the Pref
ace to this History:
"If it comes into th" hands of an
American, his liberality will make al
kw&ace for the position of an English
man -".ho regards the American Com
monwealth ax the ?rri»at achievement of
his rare, and looks forward to the
voluntary reunion of the Axnerican
branches of the race within its pal«. " -'
titsirr-s to do Justice to the mother coun
try, and to render to her the meed i C
rrat:tude which will always be her due."
That "as dated in 1%^3, five years be
lore Er.eland's refusal to Join the Euro
peas 'oaiition in favor of Spain and
against the United States taught us that
Unhand was our friend.
One thins more. G twin Smith never

trf fcia continuous Immersions in jour-
EalLsra. He is a lesson to us all. The
lesson is there, but the learners are
Beve:- too many. Perhaps Ike coldness

«- his handwriting thai ever 1 saw was
there a trace of hurry or of impetuous
Jelling. The stream was fall, but did
tot overflow Us banks. For his style I
e«j further back than the Renaissance.
He had something of the purity of the
Greeks: the simplicity, the absence of
«nphaifi2; the total neglect of the ■ ■:" ■
&tiv and the Intensive adverb. I do
ft ot know whom of his contemporaries
to put ibove him as a writer, nor whom
t ' put beside him. In th. measured and
ia^loii-jua n«w of his prose, in its re-
Etrainfcd force, in the beauty of its grave
oWSeacea; in ils purely intellectual tawl
s*O'5 *O' and. as a rul»% in its distinction, he
«ands by himself. He could hit eery
«*ni, and often did. but there was
*wi?tliia£ judicial in his anger; it I Be
Si '-> f - pa^cion, but a process of the mind.
In his melancholy quarrel with Disraeli
H was Goldwin Smith who b*-«ai.. His
'"nticlETus upon the jrreat Tory were acri-
JQonious because they took n« account
of cii-cumstances nor of differing points
«E virw. When Disraeli replied by call
:n«:n« his critic a parasite, the reply was
**ith.-r apt nor damaging. But it an
gered Goldwin Smith, ■ hose message
fr -»m #U-yond the Atlantic about "the
■tiajiess. insults of a coward*' was no
I.XX VIII
better than Disraeli's taunt. The Tory
leader could strike blows that hurt when ;
he cared ' », but he often contented him
self with an expression of contempt; al
most always a cheap retort because not
often sincere, and still less often ener- j
getlc. That seems to have been all he j
meant to suggest when he remarked: "I !
am told I am pursued in the public press ;
by an Oxford Professor named Smith.''
If the Oxford Professor had political i
ambition?, as he had, a wrangle of this i
sort with Disraeli was not the way to ;
promote them. But there were other
reasons which stood in th» Tray. Two \
things darkened his life and changed its j
course. The first was his failure to win
Ike Oriel fellowship, on which his heartj
\ was set. and the success of his rival
Dean Burgon. whom he called a buf
foon, as perhaps he was. It, may seem
no great matter, especially as he did se
cure a University College fellowship and <
as his Oxford career was starred with
scholarships and prizes, and later he be
came Regius Professor of Modern His
tory at Oxford. But he was profoundly
chagrined and he did not conceal his ,
chagrin. He carried it with him across |
the Atlantic; it was one of the causes j
which drove him into exile. The second j
of the two tragedies was the insanity of
his father, a doctor in Reading, Berks;
! and the dread lest a similar fate might i
be his. happily a groundless dread. But j
i it is easy to understand that a man pur- j
i sued by such a phantom as that might :
\ shrink from the collisions of public life. i
: During visits to Canada. I used to hear
; Goldwin Smith discussed in varying j
! tones. The fact that he took Cornell on j
his way did not predispose the Cana- j
dians to like him. Were there not uni- I
versities in Canada, and was not an j
Englishman's first duty to his own coun- j
try and her outlying provinces? Then
came his theory of Canadian absorption
by the United States, which Canada j
hated, and from hating the theory to ;
hating the author of it was -no long j
step. By and by the theory was re- j
| linQuished and the theorist became pop- j
ular on quite other grounds, and re- ■
mained so. There grew up an affection j
| toward him. His choice of Canada for j
his home lent distinction to the Domin- ;
ion, and his life was filled with proofs of
devotion to the land in which he had
chosen to dwell. But now, since bis )
death, comes the gift of his fortune to ■
Cornell, and this, naturally enough, is I
resented. Why should an Englishman |
' endow an American college? But the :
I Englishman had spent a great part of j
! Me life in trying to abolish some of the j
■ barriers between English and Ameri- j
I cans: between what he always regarded
as two halves of the one British race.
He had other enthusiasms, some of
which he kept in cold storage and took
out as they were wanted. But they
were enthusiasms still.
The Englishman to whom Goldwin :
Smith seems nearest akin, intellectually
and personally, is Lord Morley. Tet in
stantly contrasts present themselves,
! and the contrasts seem sharper than j
the likenesses. Lord Morley long had
in him, and still has, not less of the
' ascetic than Goldvdn Smith, yet this did :
\ not prevent him from entering public ;
• life and making himself a. great place
; there, which he still keeps. The asceti
i eism was somehow consistent with a real
I sweetness of nature and a real sympa
| thetic concern in the interests of others.
• He left journalism, as Lord Milrjer did, j
: for polities— politics and to-day j
• he governs 1190,000.000 of Oriental sub- '
I jects of the Crown. He has laid aside
'so much of his early Radicalism as
I would have made his Secretaryship of
| India a disaster. He does not apply to
the government of the great military ;
I dependency of India the principles of j
Mr. Keir Hardie or of our great Mr.
| Bryan, who based his *"ight columns of
i criticism upon English rule in India on
i the ignorant belief that India is a
colony. Lord Mori"", in short, is so
constituted that be is capable of com-
I promise, and has that practical Bide to
hi? character which has made him a
very able, very useful, very sensible
' cabinet minister. If I were to enter
upon ■ parallel between him and Gold
win Smith I should have to leave out j
ait that. The parallel between them lies
m their intellectual qualities, their ca- \
pacity for scholarship, their unmverving:
loyalty to ideals, and in each a touch o?
.something Jikf fanaticism: in Lord
\ Morley his "sombre acquiescence In the j
i ferocities of the French Revolution; and
in Goldwin Smith his inn? cherished, but
academic faith in the readiness of the
Canadians to erase to be Canadians.

KO DEMAND FOR CHARLTDN
Not Likely That Itaiy Wiil Ask
for His Extradition.
TIME EXPIRES AUGUST 2
Italian Government Has Shown
Scant Interest in the Case of
Alleged Wife Murderer.
fJTremi The Tribune Bureau.
Washington. July 30. — Huntingdon Wil
son, Acting Secretary of State, in an in
terview to-night stated positively that
the Italian government had ' made no
formal demand for th*» extradition of
Porter Charlton. Inasmuch as the time
during which the request must be made
expires within forty days after the ar
rest of the prisoner, and the time In
Charlton'e case expires on Aujrust 2, it
is obviously nor the purpose of the
Italian government to request that
Charlton be turned over to it for trial.
In the convention of 1854, supple
mentary to the extradition treaty, it is
specifically Eta ted that if the request
is not made in forty days the prisoner
shall be set at liberty. If, therefore,
Italy does not at the eleventh hour ask
for Char! ton he will go free despite his
confession, as no United States court
has jurisdiction in the case. The ques
tion of his commitment is entirely apart
from any criminal prosecution and de
pends upon what action Judge Charlton,
his father, chooses to take.
Mr. Wilson, in connection with the
Charlton case, said to-day:
"The Department of State has of
course scrupulously refrained from any
expression whatsoever upon the probable
outcome of the Charlton case. That
case, it is unnecessary to say, is taking,
so far as the government of the United
States is concerned, precisely the routine
course of all other extradition cases.
Extradition cases, by the way, come to
the notice of the department at the rate
of about one a day. and as to all these
cases the government remains silent and
plays no determinative role except as to
the last step, the warrant of surrender.
It is entirely obvious, therefore, that
the first determinative factor in the
Charlton matter as an extradition case
is the decision of the Italian government
whether or not to prosecute the case
before the courts.
"It is frequently stated point blank,
that Italy has- requested the surrender
of Charlton. The only indications thus
far made by the Italian government
were their procedure under a section of
the Revised Statutes, whereby the ac
cused was detained by the New Jersey
court, and, secondly, their request of the
department for a 'preliminary man
date.' This document, which was is
sued, is not legally necessary, and oper
ates as a mere cer..:i<:ate that the party
making the complaint represents the
Italian government. Under the Italian
treaty, if Italy initiates extradition pro
ceedings the Italian case is presented
directly to the court concerned, which
sits as an extradition magistrate, and
the formal requisition for surrender
would only be addressed to the Depart
ment of State after all the legal pro
ceedings might have resulted in an or
der by the competent court for commit
ment for surrender.
"It is not for the government of the
United States to seek to influence the
Italian government in ita decision
whether to prosecute the case to its con
clusion, with a view to requisition for
surrender, and all insinuations as to the
ultimate decision of the Secretary of
State in the event of the case cominsr
before him are absolutely baseless, un
authorized and conjectural; and, if they
have any effect, evidently it could only
be the evil effect of creating false im
pressions."

NOBBY MEN'S CLOTHES DOOMED

THE • ' CIGARETTE EVIL
One in a Painting May Deprive Chicago
of the Picture.
Chicago, July 30.— A painted ci&arctte may
be the cause of depriving the city of Chi
cago of a portrait of the late Frederick
Warren Freer, a well known Chicago art
ist, who died several years ago.
The ciparette Is shown in the portrait,
held between the finders' of the dead artist,
a wreath of light smoke curling up over
his head. The portrait was offered by Mrs.
Margaret Freer, the artist's widow, to
Charles 1... Hutchin?on. of the Art Institute.
The portrait, It Jh Bald, was tentatively
accepted when a member of the committee,
accompanied by Miss Lucy Page GaaVou,
viewed It in the art institute. Miss Gaston
is said to have led the fight against the.
picture, asserting that the influence of the
cigarette would bo harmful to generations
to come who would gase upon it if the city
purchased the painting.

SORE ON NAVAL CRUISE
Rochester Seaman Has Poor
Opinion of "Gunboatin' It.''
BURNT DOING BRIGHT WORK
But Officer Says Men Got Excel
lent Practice on Week's
Cruise to Bermuda.
"Gynboatin' it down to Bermuda, and back,
or seven days of hell, I don't rare how you
put it In the paper, but don't forget to say
that we all of us got burnt worse 'n blazes,"
said' a naval mili*.iaman who returned from
a week's cruise on board the battleship
Michigan yesterday. The seaman came out
of drydock at Rochester a week ago.
"My wife hated to BBS me go," lie con
tinued. "Bermuda looked 5O pretty in the
pictures sb« thought as how I ought to i
carried her along. At first I felt sorry at
leavin' her in Rochester, but aay, I'm burnt
to a cinder, too tired to toddle, and the
nearer we went to Bermuda was some
thing: like ninety-five mile* north of the
equator. We didn't see It close.
"I washed clothes like a nigger when It
was 120 on deck, and I did the bright ■work
when there wa3n't a cloud in the sky. Say,
did you ever do bright work?"
A seaman from the battleship Nebraska
said: "Quit y*» ltnockin", Bill. It was ail
right except the condensed *«a!t water to
drink. That was sure gfekenin'. Next to
the almost coffee, it was worse *n any
thin?:."
"Did any BJMMfBg experiences occur?"
they were asked.
The men were among the six hundred
sailor militiamen of New York. Brooklyn.
Rochester and Buffalo, who departed m
seven battleships of the* Atlantic fleet on
July 23 for a week's work a* naval tars.
Burned to a Blister.
"Nuthin" funnier than settin' burnt to a
UnomhV blister doin' bright work," replied
the man just off the Michigan. The battle
ships were gone and the seven-day sailors
*ere resting at the training chip Granite
State, off West 96th street. #
••What did you do on board ship except
the bright work?" he was asked.
"The first thing every morning it was get
up at 5 o'clock, lash your hammock, scrub
your clothes and scrub down decks, and
then they let you eat breakfast at f-ix bells,
which was 7 o'clock. Breakfast was hash,
salt meal mush, alrro«>t-cofT.ee made out
of steamed chicory— not boiled. If it was
real coffee it would cost too damned much.
"Then you go out and clean bright work.
There's a call for muster at 9:30, which you
have to put on clean whites for. Then
there's the drills, after which you close all
water-tight compartments and batten down
hatches until 11 o'clock.
"You're liable to lie around until seven
hell?. 11:30 o'clock, when you have to muss
around get tin* the mess gear on the table.
You get through mess at 12:15, and at 1
o'clock it's pine down white clothes. That's
sailor spiel for taking clothes off wash line.
"They let you play cards after that until
5:30, when it's mess gear again; same
stunt -with dishes for tea. I^ast night we
had potato salad, canned salmon, bread
and butter, almost tea — they call it tea
water — and some kind of cake. One night
we had pretty good cake. Then there's a
band concert at 7 o'clock; at 7:30 a call for
hammock*, and at S o'clock you're sup
poped to be dead to the world.
"Take seven days of that, and the most
amusing experience on earth couldn't
make you enjoy it."
Used a Substitute for Powder.
"What did you l^arn?"
"That the best thing to do was to keep
off the iron," replied the man from the
Nebraska. "Instead of putting powder
in the guns we used bean bags of the same
weight. We had four mix-ups on the Ne
braska on account of some rookies — that's
new sailors trying to do each other. And
we had a storm coming home off Cap's
l.fa:'' ra?. Most of the fellows kept from
being seasick.
"V. ft got $1 25 a day for ten days, and
spent most of it at the candy canteen.
The tobacco was 40 cents a foot — so tough
you had to chop it with a sledge. We
wouldn't have be^n burnt so much, only
•an order came from ths flagship Connecti
cut from the fleet surgeon for all of up to
take oft white blouses and wear under
shirts. They were looking for mutilated
underwear. They located some, and we
&ot iscorched."
Captain R. P. Forshee. commanding the
Brooklyn naval militia, said last night
that the trip to south of Bermuda and
:<d be^n of great benefit to all the
militiamen. No stop was made. The men
wtre Instructed in the loading and hand
ling of 6, 8 aad 1- in^h guns, although no
actual was done. Th" fleet was un
der command of Rear Admiral Peaton
Schxoeder.
SQUADRON A GOES TO CAMP

[By Telesrrajiii to The Tribune. 1
Tuxedo Park, X. ST.. July 30.— The four
year-old .-on of Mr 3. Gladys Robinson Mar
tin, widow of James E. Martin. Jr.. of New-
York and Great Neck, X. V., grandson
of James Martin, of California, and only
heir of the Martin million.", died at Tuxedo

OR. HADLEY MAY ACCEPT
Went to Beverly with Intention
of Declining Place.
PRESIDENT GETS PROTESTS
Committees Will Try to Persuade
Mr. Taft Not to Cancel
Speaking Dates.
Beverly, Mass., July 30.— President Ar
thur T. Hartley of Yale has not yet ac
cepted the appointment tendered him by
President Taft to head the commission au
thorized by the last session of Congress to
investigate th«» subject of railroad stork*
and bonds and to devise a means to pre
vent the practice of "watering."
r>r. Hadlry spent two hours with the
President this afternoon at Burgess Point.
It is understood that Dr. Hadle- came here
with the intention of declining- the chair
manship of the new commission on th*;
ground that it might Interfere -with his
work at Yale. After going over the mat
ter wi|h the President, however. he agreed
to take ten days more in considering the
offer, and will return to Beverly at the •Sal
of that time.
The President began to get protests by
wire to-day from committees In the vari
ous cities where he. has cancelled engage
ments. Some of the cortrmi '.»♦*»« are com
ing to Beverly. One is coming from Provi
dence, where the Atlantic Deeper Water
ways' Association is to hold its annual
convention in September. Strong pressure
will be brought to bear to have the Presi
dent make a trip this fall, but it la said
that his determination not to do so is ir
revocable.
Will Probably Speak Hero.
President Taft did not include in the list
of cancelled engagements announced last
night a promise to speak before a meeting
of the National League of Republican Clubs
in New York late in September. It wm re
ported to-day that whatever, th© President
may have to cay affecting the fall cam
paign will be included in this speech. It is
doubtful, however, if he will go outside
of a statement of the accomplishments of
his administration thus far. From this he
will attempt to show that the Republican
party is endeavoring to 'ive up to its plat
form pledges. Mr. Taft may have ■ few
words to say also about the tariff, which
he believes to bc«the best tariff ever placed
on the statute books. ,
In furtherance of the administration pol
icy of conservation which he is outlining as
rapidly as possible. President Taft consult
ed with George Olds Smith, of the Geologi
cal Survey; A. H. Brooks, an expert in coal
and petroleum lands connected with that
organization, and Oscar Lawier, Attorney
General of the Department of the Interior.
Mr. Smith has assumed his duties aa tem
porary head of the new Bureau of Mine?.
Mr. Brooks will soon start for Alaska,
where he will meet Attorney General Wick
ersham and Secretary Nagel. Mr. Liawier
is entirely familiar with the legal work nec
essary to carry on the President's policy of
conservation. The conference to-day was
devoted to a decision of the conservation
ideas so far adopted by the President.
■ Executive Offices Moved.
Tbe White Hou.se executive offices were
moved to-day from the Mason Building, in
Cabot street, to the Pickering house, in
Lotbrop street. The new quarters are di
rectly on the shore, a fine grassy lawn
leading down from the rear veranda to the
water's edge. The house overlooks Burgess
Point. It is expected that the President
will do most of his work in the future at
the executive offices, and it was largely for
this reason that the move was made from
the centra of the city to the more secluded
spot on the shore drive. A number of the
executive clerks will sle«*p on .he third floor
of the new cjuarters. Secretary Norton also
has a livinc room reserved for Him.
Henry W. Taft. th© President's brother,
is a guest at Burgess Point. He will sail
for Europe next week, and called to say
good by-
Among the person* calling In the near
future will be Representative W- B ?4c-
Kinley. of Illinois, chairman of the Re
publican Congressional Campaatrn Commit
tee. It is probable that Senator Crane on
his trip West wiil see Mr. M^Kinley.
Major General Leonard Wood, the new
chief of start* of the army. will be m Bev
erly on Monday. He comes to report on
his specia.l mission ta Argentina, where h*
went to represent tr^e United States at the
centennial anniversary of that republic.
President Taft went shopping m Sale:n
to-day.
SENATOR CRAITE RETICENT
Says That He is Going to Chicago and
Then May Talk Politics.
Dalton. Mass., July CO.— United States
Senator W. Murray Crane maintained his
customary reserve when asked to-day con
cerning the announcement that, at the
re<;'!*st of President Taft, he was to make
a trip through the West for Use purpose
of ascertaining political conditions. Sen
ator Crane returned late last night from
Ma visit to Beverly. and thai morning
found him in his office here. In response
to questions regarding his announced trip,
the Senator said
"1 am going to Chicago within a short
time for a few days* stay. I am to at
tend to some business matters there, and
afterward will possibly talk politics some.'
The Senator would not talk further con
cerning the trip, nor would he say just
when he would start. Reports from Bev
erly to-day insist that' Senator Crane will
go as far west as Seattle before the sum
mer is over, at the I 'resident's request.
MAN WITH HAMMER SEEKS TAFT
