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 |

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.

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.

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-

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.
Highwayman Shot by Posse.
Pittsburg, March 30.—An unknown
man was shot and mortally wounded
by Justice of the Peace William Pat-
terson at Wilson, near here, while a

lieved to have been members of a gang

robbing a victim.
