The President Will Not Dictate © Congress, But Tells Callers He Is Opposed to Tax on Necessities—Lit- tie Likelihood of Passage of Meas. | ure Before June 1. : Abductor of Willie Whitla Asked the | Sheriff If He Thought the Crowd | Wouid Harm Him—Armed Guards Placed Around Jail. Heavily manacled to Sheriff Chess | and guarded by several detectives, James Boyle. one of the kidnappers of little Willie Whitla, was brought | from Pittsburg and lodged in jail at Mercer, Pa. His wife was also brought irom Pittsburg, and the couple will | be formally arraigned on a charge of Washington, March 30.—“The coun- try is losing $10,000,000 a day every day the passage of the tariff bill is delayed from this time on.” This is what President Taft is say- ing to senators and members of the house as fast as he can get a word with individual members of either house. The president is bending every energy toward the speedy settlement of the tariff question, but the strong- est argument he uses is that quoted above. And it was in response to his urging more than anything else that the house adopted the plan of holding night sessions from now until the close of the debate. This enormous loss is sustained | through the hesitation of great busi- | ness enterprises to enter upon new | contracts or extend old ones until the uncertainty about the tariff is settled. It is not believed by anybody in congress that the bill can be passed before June 1, while many think it will take from fifteen to thirty days longer than that. With the president assuring them that the business in- terests of the country are incurring a loss of $300,000,000 a month, while the bill is under discussion, and the pos- sibility that this loss will reach a to- tal billion dollars if the work of con- sidering the measure is not expedited, the leaders on both sides are showing evidence of willingness to hurry. President Taft, it 1s stated, intends to leave all congressional matters to congress and does not intend to dic- tate to that body what it shall do. At the same time he takes advantage of the calls made upon him by senators and representatives to state anew i: response to their requests for sugges- tions his own position and the policy to which he believes the Republican party is committed. Favors Stamp Tax. The president does not believe that a stamp tax would be a great burden upon the people. A stamp tax at this time would not go to the extent of the war tax imposed in 1898. Such a tax wouid be far better, it is declared at the White House, than the imposition of such a tax or duty on food stuffs as would cause unrest and anxiety on the part of the general public. President Taft has let it be known that he approves the Payne bill in principle and that he believes more schedules in the Dingley tariff shoui: be revised downward than upward—if any should go upward at all. His only utterances to members of congress on the subject have been in response to their direct requests for his views as to certain things. President Taft is known to be spe- cially opposed to the proposed tax on tea. It is stated that this tax would yield about $8,000,000 annually. The president believes that this amount «could be made up by an excise tax on the dividends of corporations or by ‘some methods of stamp taxation. He does rot believe that the burden of raising this additional $8.000,000 should be placed upon the rank and file of consumers. ' The president also is said to believe that the ways and means committee of the house will not insist on the coun- tervailing duty proposed on coffee. Shailor Puric“ed In Record Time Even For Jersey. Camden, N. J., March 30.—Another instance of quick Jersey justice was the sentencing of Harry Shailor wo thirty years for killing his father. Shailor appeared before Justice Gar rison and pleaded non vult. The pros- ecutor said nothing, nor did the pris- oner's counsel say more than was ne- cessary to coach his client. Judge Gar- rison made no remarks, simply saying when the prisoner had pleaded: “You are sentenced to serve thirty years in state prison at hard labor.” It is probably the briefest murder trial on record here. A few minutes prior to his arraignment the grand jury had presented a true bill against Shailor for atrocious assault. This was nolle prossed. On Dec. 8 last Shailor shot and killed his father at Glouces- ter City. At the same time he shot his mother, She was in a hospital severa! weeks, but is now recovered. Shailor is nearly forty years old and he re- ceived practically a life sentence. Taylor Gets $18 a Year While Serving Term. Trenton, N. J., March 30.—George W. Taylor, who is serving a life sen- tence in the state prison here, is the beneficiary of a legacy of $18 a year 80 long as he remains in prison. The legacy was left to him by John L. Steck. who recently died in Jersey City. Taylor is a negro. Steck was a white man. Steck be ame interested in Taylor after the negro went to prison and became exceedingly religious. Aged Woman Killed by Auto. Philadelphia, Pa., March 30. — Mrs. Mary A. Smith, aged eighty years, we run down and killed by an automobi driven by Dr. E. N. Lippincott. Dr. Lippincott was running his machine at a moderate rate of speed, when Mrs. Smith stepped directly in its path. Joe Gans Has Tuberculosis. Denver, Colo., March 30.—Joe Gans, former world's champion lightweight pugilist, has developed tuberculosis of the lungs, it was said, and he may never again be seen in the ring. Referee Charles White is quoted for the statement. gidnapping in a few days. Boyle feared | violence on his arrival in Mercer, and on the journey from Pittsburg asked | Sheri¥ Chess if he thought the crowd | would harm him. The prisoner looked greatly relieved when he saw only a | scattering of people at the Mercer sta. | tion. Boyle was hurried into a waiting bus and taken to the jail, where he was locked in a cell on the secomd tier. An armed guard was placed in | front of Bovle's cell and a patrolman | will be stai‘cned outside the ja*. | Sheriff Chess said that the jail would | be guarded until the trial of the Boyles i was over. { There is no fear of a demonstration | being made h--> against the kidmap- | per. The jail ials clothed Boyle in | overalis and an old shirt after he was | put in a cell | Coming down on the train i | | talked frei. but the woman talked little and reiused to give any clue as to her past. She stated. however, that she came originally from Brookiya, N.Y. “Please ay that I do not get up on tables and dance, won't you?” said Mrs. Boyle in the parior car. “And say also that [ never made the remarks attributed to me.” “You mean about there being hell in Sharon?” : “Yes,” and she smiled as if she en- | Joyed it. “I guess that's what Sharon had, wasn’t it? But | have never blasphemed. And [ never was a bur lesque actress, nor have I ever been on the stage at all.” “Did you know any of the Whitia family or their relatives before you saw them in Cleveland?” “I never saw any of them except the boy before Wednesday.” Affinity Sueg For Divorce. Ferdinand Pinney Earle, artist, poet and foremost exponent of the “affinity” idea, in Middletown, N. Y., has been served with papers in an action brought by Mrs. Earle, formerly Miss Julia Kuttner, of New York city, for annulment of their marriage. Mrs. Earle alleges that Earle is of un- sound mind and was so at the time of their marriage, although she did not become convinced of this until about Jan. 12 of this year. Furthermore, she says, Earle was | incapable of legally contracting mar- riage because at the time he had a wife living, to whom he was married in Paris in 1903. The plaintiff at the time believed Earle’'s assertion that he had secured a divorce from a court of competent jurisdiction, but she is now convinced “hat the first marriage is | still valid and in full force. Mrs. Earle asks that she be awarded the custody of their infant child, Ed- mund Erwin Earle, and be allowed to resume her maiden name. The child if her suit is successful, will also as- sume her name. Earle retrrued only a few days ago from a long western trip. It is believ- ed he will fight the suit. Miners R affirm Their Demands. A resolution to ask President Taft to appoint a commission to arbitrate their differences with the operators was adopted by the miners’ convention at Scranton, Pa., and referred to the executive boards to put it into effect at their discretion. A resolution was adopted to aob- serve April 1 as a holiday in com- memoration of the anniversary of the adoption of the eight hour day in the scft coal regions. Reaffirming the demands already presented to the operators, the anthra- cite miners voted to remain at work after April 1 until the district execu- tive boards of the hard coal fields of Pennsylvania continue their efforts to get an agreement satisfactory to the men. The miners were instructed by the convention to continue at work until such time as they are otherwise rotified by the official representatives of the three anthracite districts, and the executive boards were Instructed to negotiate an agreement upon such basis as the boards in their judgment believe the conditions warrant. Weary of the gay whirl of society, and face to face, as she believed, with years of physical suffering, Mrs. Pierre Lorillard, Jr. aged forty-nine, wife of the tobacco magnate, committed sul- cide by asphyxiation at her home near the fashionable DuPont Circle, in Washington. Her tragic death has shocked the first social circles of the capital as nothing else in years. In spite of th: coroner's certificate of death by suicide, members of the fam- fly declare that Mrs. Lorillard died of heart failure. The death was made more dramatic by occurring only a few hours after Mr. and Mrs. Lorillard had been the guests of Mrs. Townsend, on Massa- chusetts avenue, at a dinner given honor of Lady Paget. In fact, it lieved that as soon Mrs. arrived at her home at 2030 Place, she began to prepare heart failure. She is survived husband and two children. Eo i 5 ; gf £8 Woman Electrocuted. Mrs. Mary Farmer was put to death in the electric chair in the penitentiary at Auburn, N. Y,, on Monday. She walked to the death chamber firm step and showed no signs lapse. She was accompanied J. J.

The body of Mrs. Brennan was found in a trunk owned by Mrs. Far- mer and in her possession. m— | British Flag Near South Pole. i The polar regions are gradually giv- | ing up their secrets to human perse- verance and determination, Lieut. Er- | nest H. Shackleton, of the British navy, | who left his permanent quarters last autumn for a dash to the pole, having | succeeded, after an arduous sledge | journey of 17i3 miles, which occu- | pied 128 days, in reaching within 111 miles of the South Pole, or 354 miles nearer than the point attained by the | “discovery expedition,” of which he! was an officer. i As the expedition to the south was! undertaken rather for the purposes of | geographical survey than with the idea of reaching the pole itself, it may be said to have succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectations. Ketcheil Defeats O'Brien. Not since the repeal of the Horton law which stopped the big fictic bouts in New York city has such a fast and furious contest been witnessed in the squared circle as that in which Stan- ley Ketchell, the middleweight cham- pion, defeated Jack O’Brien, of Phila- delphia, at the National Athletic club. It was a hot bout from start to fin- ish. In the final round O'Brien was knocked down three times, and the last time was practically a clean knockout, for the timely clang of the gone ‘ound the Philadelphia in a hope- less state. It was Ketchell's fight for the greater part of the contest, and O’Prien had no excuse to make over the outcome, Dying Woman's Kiss Kills Nurse. Having become infected from a kiss bestowed on a dying patient who had grown to love her because of her ten- Miss Spier nursed Mrs. Virginia Callan Carder, wife of Dr. George L. Carder, a prominent society woman, in the Allegheny hospital, and took such tender care of her that the sick woman asked the nurse to kiss her as she was dying. The request was granted, and in a few days Miss Spier was stricken with the same malady, dying from blood poisoning, contract- ed, the doctors say, by the kiss. Slain on Eve of Wedding. On the eve of his wedding, Jerry Big- ford. a white farmer and storekeeper, was murdered in cold blood near Free- mans, N. C.

Bigford and Miss Squires, who lives in an adjoining county, were to have been married Tuesday night. Says He Refused $600,000 Bribe. A dishonest man holding the posi- tion of police commissioner in New York city might easily become a mil- lionaire in a few months, so jreat are the opportunities for illicit gains, ac- cording to a statement made by Com- missioner Bingham. During Mr. Bingham's first year in the office, he said, a single oribe of $600,000 a year was offered him if he would protect certain criminal inter- ests. “Compliance with the conditions of the offer,” he added, “would have been entirely of a negative matter— all they wanted was to be let alone.” Woman Oddly Drowned. Going to the creek to get water, Mrs. Annie O'Donnell, of New Lisbon, N. J.. was lifted off her feet by the high wind just as she stooped to fill her pail. As a result of this accident she fell into the water and was drown- ed. Her husband, Patrick O'Donnell, went from the house a few minutes af- ter the wo aan had gone to the creek and found her body. Sliding Scale Will Be Abolished and Men Cut 20 Per Cent. Shamokin, Pa., March 30.—From lo- cal operators in close touch with Pres- ident Baer, of the Reading railway and Morris Williams, of the Pennsyl- vania Coal company, it was learne that unless officials of the United Min~ Workers of the three anthracite dis- tricts signed another three years agreement, the same as the one now in force, the coal companies would insist on all conditions reverting back tn 1900, which would mean the abolition of the sliding scale and a reduction of 20 per cent.
