THE WOMAN
N THE CASE
Willie Whitla Identifies Pos
itively His Kid
napper. 'v.
There is a Mystery Surrounding tbe
Woman Tbat the Public Are
Curious to Have
Lifted.
Cleveland, O., March 24. Mr.- and
Mrs. Whitla, the father and mother of
Willie, arrived with him here toaay,
and in police court WSllie was given
opportunity in open court of identify
ing his kidnappers, and he did sc
promptly.
The man was the first one taken
before them. Boyle was a little pale
and nervous. Chief Kohler asked
Willie if he had ever seen the man be
fore. "Sure," said Willie, brightly. "Why,
that is the man I left Sharon with. He
took me to Cleveland, then to Ashtab
ula and back to Cleveland."
The boy was asked the same ques
tion again to make certain of his mem
ory, and again the lad declared he
was positive.
"He had a moustache when I first
saw him at the school house," Willie
supplemented, "but he must have cut
It oft later. This is the way he looked
when I last saw him in Cleveland." -
Boyle pmiled sarcastically, but said
nothing.
Then the woman was brought in.
She was defiant and haughty in her
demeanor. Blankly she stared at
Whitla and the other members of the
party. Her only relaspe from the in
dignant manner was when she first
saw Willie. The woman smiled.
Immediately Willie walked up to
her and extending his hand said, "How
do you do?"
"Hello, Willie, the woman replied,
as she placed her band upon his head
and caressed him for an instant.
The boy then stepped back to his
father's side and was asked several
questions by the chief of police.
"Yes, X know her," he said. "She
was the nurse who took care of me
In Cleveland. She told me I was sick
and in a hospital. I saw her a whole
lot and Bhe was with me most of the
1 &uu D I
time.'
Notwithstanding the woman's for
mer assertion that there would be a
sensation when she was identified or
when Whitla saw her, she and Whitla
looked at each other without outward
evidence of recognition. They did not j
speak with any of the other members
of the party.
Whitla would make no comment re
garding the woman under suspicion.
The movements of the Whitla party
were greatly hampered. Thousands of
r persons followed their every move.

t ofjfiarry Forker, brother of Mrs. Whit
. la, jsffes seen at her home in Norwalk,

She then broke down and wept bit-
teriy. Mrs. uorKer wouiu say uuui-
l ing more nor explain her remark.

Harrisburg, Pa , March 24. Trapped
bx the police, F-IL Richardson, of El-
mira, N- Y., formerly president of the I
Richardson .Shoe Company, wanted for
embezzlement of $300,000, committed
suicide at the Hotel Lynch today.
Mr. Richardson was president of the!
Jtichardson Shoe Company, which in
J.907 was declared Insolvent. At that
time it was discovered that beside
jnoney ia this concern the president
had a credit of $250,000 on false state-1
jnents in Pennsylvania banks. Eight
warrants were sworn out for his ar
rest. A telephone call from Elmira
this morning warned Chief of Police
George that the man was in this city
The chief traced his man to the hotel
Mr. Richardson was in his room at
the time the chief went 'to the room,
Th&door was thrust open at his knock
and the man's head appeared for an
instant. Then, before the chief had a
chance make a move, the fugitive!
observed him, slammed the door and
bolted it. An instant later the pistol
shot rang out. The door was broken
open and Richardson was found lying
on the floor with his head on the bed.
A stream of blood was pouring from
his forehead. ; .

Fighting Flies.
"Now is the time to begin . fighting
the filthy housefly," said a man who
takes much interest in hygiene today.
I notice that already these pests
are making themselves eommon nui
Isances and be"arers of disease about
markets and cheap lunch places. . It
should be driven into the brain of
those who keep horses that the drop
pings heaped and allowed to ferment
J and heat are the hatching places of
these purveyors of typhoid germs
Every pUe of manure should be either
thickly covered with lime or closely
covered ntil removed. It is in such
masses of filth that the housefly depos
its Its eggs, which are incubated to
the hatching out of thousands of . the
pests of houses and the bearers of dis-
ease upon their feet.

Power of a-Drop of Water.
Tid Bits.
One of the Chinese modes of punish
ment is to place the culprit where a
tlrop of water will fall on his head for
hours, or even for days, if he can
stand it so long. The torture this in
flicts is proved by an experience that
Col. Fred Burnaby had in Vienna sev
eral years ago. A school teacher bet
him that he would not be able to let a
pint of water, drop by drop, fall on his
hand. Burnaby laughed at the very
idea of' his not being able to stand it
and the test began.
Although the strong man talked and
ested gayly at first, it was not long
before he began to show signs of dis
tress. At about the two hundredth
drop for the school teacher kept tal
lyan expression of pain crossed his
face.
When the third hundred had been
entered his hand began to swell and
grow red. Then the skin burst and
the pain grew more and more excru
ciating. Finally, at the four hundred
and twentieth drop Burnaby gave it up
and acknowledged himself beaten.
SENTIMENT SEEMS TO RE
AGAINST INHERITANCE TAX
Motion .Will Be Made to Strike Out
Retaliatory Provision of the Cof
fee Schedule. - :
Washington, D. C, March 25. Senti
ment against the inheritance tax and
the proposed imposition of a tax on
coffee is rapidly growing in the House,
and is due to the large number of pe
titions and memorials that are daily
pouring in on members from every
section of the United States. s
That these petitions are having their
effect is shown in the reports that
President Taft has reached the con
clusion that an income tax law can be
so drafted as to meet constitutional
objections, and that an income tax
provision will probably be offered as
a substitute for the inheritance tax
clause of the Payne bill.
The coffee tax provision of this bill
is fast losing favor, as no assurance
can be given that Brazil and other
countries that impose an export tax
on coffee coming to the United States
will repeal that tax ifa like tax is im
possd by this ; country, and it is this
doubt that is causing all the trouble
When tbe consideration of the cof-i
fee schedule is reached a motion will
be made to strike out the retaliatory
provision, and the indications are that

Hue Consideration and i
Prompt Action.
Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion J. Y. Joyner is sending out the
following letter in hopes of having
as many local tax elections as pos
sible carried before the first Monday
in June, when the tax levies for the
year are made by the county commis
sioners of the respective counties of
the State."
To the County Superintendent:
It is the desire of the Educational
Campaign Committee to , do as much
systematic, effective work for local
taxation as possible between now and
the first Monday in June, when the tax
levies for the year ate made by the
county commissioners , of the respec
tive counties of the State.
In. order that we may accomplish
the most possible within the next
sixty-five or seventy days, it will be of
great value to us if you will give us
the following information relative to
the work in your county:
First. How many districts have you
in which there is a probability of car
rying local tax this spring?
Second. About what dates would it
be best to have public meetings in
these districts in the interest of the lo
cal tax? .
Third. Name some two or three men,
who, in your opinion, could do the
cause the most good among your peo
ple. -
We wish to call your attention to the
fact that, if the election not called
in time tc, have levy made the first
Monday in June of this year, the tax
cannot be levied until the first Monday
in June, 1910.
Remember that thirty days' public
notice is required before an election
can be held. The regular meetings of
the ccunty board of commissioners at
which elections can be ordered in time
for special tax to be levied this year
are April 5 and May 3.
IT an ection is ordered later than
May 3 the tax levy cannot be made
until June, 19.10, unless a called meet
ing of the county board of commis
sioners ir held so as to give thirty
days' public, notice - before June 7,
which is the date the special tax levies
for the fiscal year will be made.
We send you some blank petitions
for elections and some blank returns
under Section 4114 of the Public
School Law, and will galdly furnish
my additional number desired.
Very truly yours,

ROOSEVELT IN AFRICA.
His Experiences and Doings Will Be
Told of in The Argus From Week to
Week by Himself.
The ex-President has left these
shores and a German ship is steaming
along, carrying him and his well-ad-
rtised equipment to Naples, where
he will be due April 4. On the follow
ing day be is scheduled to embark on
the steamship Admiral, which will
land him in the course of 16 days at
Kilindo harbor, Mombasa, in British
East Africa. The Uganda Railroad
will then carry him and his camping
outfit to Nairobi, and from that point
he will plunge into the jungle to asso
ciate with lions, elephants and possi
bly with white rhinoceroses certainly
with crocodiles when he takes a bath.
Professor Starr, of the University of
Chicago, continues to insist that-Mr.
Roosevelt will fall a victim to the
strange, unidentified fevers of the jun
gle. He says his quick temper and
his age will pull against him. All feel
sure he can defend himself against the
beasts of the jungle, and the fevers of
that locality ought not to Jte fatal to
a man who is but 50 years old and ex-
remely vigorous at that. Professor
Starr has nothing to go on unless it
be the x-President's outbreaks - of
temperr and when he is far away from
the politicians andCongressmen and
newspapers of this country he may be
able to curb-his temper. He, no doubt,
took Professor Starr's theory along
with him. - "
