heavy gale swept over Cape Cod from the

OVER THE HOUSE TOPS.
Exciting Chase Of the Police After q
1S-Year-0ld Boy.
DEFIANCE FROM A RIDGEPOLE.
The Lad Was Wanted for Alleged Theft
and Tried TO Escape Chad Only In q
Pair of Pants-A Ladder Compasses
His Downfall.

The residents In the vicinity of Ron
dali street, in the North End" were
treated to an exciting scene early this
morning.
A small boy. clad only in pair OF short
unmentionapes, his hair flying In the
morning breezes, darted swiftly across the
house tops, closely followed by two Off
Gers, one of whom was the captain of the
district.
The pursuers secured the youth after n
long chase. and affairs In the neighbor-
hood settled down In the monotonous
humdrum OF everyday life, and the
crowd of spectators that had gathered
slowly dispersed.
Shortly after Captain Bakers arrival
at the Second station this morning, he
learned that a quantity of clothing had
been stolen and Suspicion rested on a
young man, Thomas Gardner, by
name who lived with his mother
on Randall rect. Captain Baker i'm
mediately resolved to arrest the by on
suspicion, aud with Officer Edwards
started for the house. On their arrival
in, and by the time an entrance had been
effected young Gardner had taken alarm
and had skipped out ofa
Second Story window
onto the roof OF an adjoining building.
He was nimbly scurrying over the roof
Just as the officers penetrated his bed
room. and as Captain Bater chancei To
glance from the window he discovered
The young man and set after him in full
cry.
Gardner was attired only in a pair Of
pants, and as the officers stepped from
the window onto tine roof he hurled n
shout of defiancs at them and then
leaped boldly across an intervening
space onto another roof fifteen or twenty
feet away. Here he remained taunt-
ing the officers. who were power
less to reach him and amusing himself
by shouting out his contempt OF the
police force. His career was short-lived
as Officer Edwards vanished aud shortly
Afterwards reappeared
With y Ladder
at the building on which Gardner was
perched.
BY use of this the officer was enabled
to reach the root and tie young man
was captured.
During his passage from one house top
to the otter Gardner, became possessed
OF the wicker work that once surrounded
demijohn of whiskey, and as the Off
Ger On the beat joined with the other offi-
cials in the caase he hurled it at him,
narrowly missing his head.
The youth struggled like a maniac In
the grasp Of the officers. and while only
13 yesrs of age he succeeded in giving
them no small amount Of trouble.
The property recovered consists of
eleven sacques. three capes. one jacket
and gossamer, all of which are new and
all Of " hich bear store tags.
1t IL supposed that the goods were
stolen from a Jewish peddler's cart, but
as today is the Sabbath of the Jews no
owner can be found.

Text OF tho Decision which Is Un-
derstood to Have Been Written by
ON the Assembly.

The supreme court this morning sent
down q rescript declining to interfere
with the town council of South Kings
town in ordering new election for
members for the general assembly, in
defiancc OF the statutes and the constitu-
tion. The Democrats asked the court Ia
override the la v and the constitution in
order that they might seek to profit by
the blunder of the town council.
The decision was so clearly In line wi tn
any possible Interpretation OF the law
and the facts that it had been confident.
ly anticipated aud will be no surprise.
Subsequent to the handing down of
the Iescript Attorney Brown appealed
for new hearing befor, the full bench

The order to dismiss the petition was
rescinded and the court granted the APP
peal. 1t is generally believed that the

be similar to that rendered to.

get their evidence into such shape by
next Saturday that the present decree
will be reversed, but the less sanRuin
among them believe the chances to be-
pretty slim.
The full text of the rescript as handed
down follows It is understood that it
was written by the chief justice:
The court is Of the opinion that Il has no juris-
oicton grant the writ PRAYED for. since the con-
house Of the general assembly shall be the Judge OF

vision OF the constitution quoted, judges Of the

members, might, nevertheless. determine that

that It is for the general assembly to provide a
remedy for the failure of the town council to call
an election for senator and representative within

THE NEW REVENUE BILL.
WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE CLOS
ErED AT TIER WORK.
Hope 10 Have the Bill seady for Submission
TO Republican Members Next Monday.
Income Tax the Bone Of Conten-
ton Among Democrats.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The Demo
cratic members of the ways and means
committee are experiencing much
difficulty in their endeavor TO complete
the new tariff bill and have it ready
for submission to their Republican COL
leagues at a meeting of the full com
mittee Monday next. There is con-
siderable difference of opinion In The
committee upon certain items OF the
bill. and at this stage details OF the
internal revenue schedule and
the income tax provisions are yet
incomplete aud somewhat indefinite.
Indeed a strong influence has been
brought to bear within the last 40
hours to induce the committee 10
abandon altogether the Income tax
provision; but the position OF Messrs.
McMiIhn, Bryan, Whiting and others
has been so resolute in favor OF TINS
policy that it appears Impossible 1or
rhe comnittee TO abandon the income
tax fully without hopelessly dividing
the Democratic party. Such action
on the part of the committee would re
suit in a minority report being pre-
seoted To the house.
Tt seems probable, however, that the
incouI. Lax provision will not be of SO
sweeping character as at hrst con
templated. Present plans are to i'm
pose tax on legacies, on incomes OIL
large corporations, on incomes OF reai
estate and other property In this
country owned or controlled by aliens,
as we'll as to require the stamping OF
certain documents and special license
of certain classes of business.
Members freely admit TO-DAY tnaC
the details of the income tax provision
will be the last agreed upon;
4. AS the work of the committee nears
a close the pressure OF various lndus
tries likely to be affected, for some IN
formation of the character OF the
measure, or for hearing In proCest
against contemplated legislation, be.
comes more AMI more intense. Most OF
them, however, are unsuccessful In get
ting the ear OF Chairman Wilson and
any other member of the committee.
as the sessions are held behind closed
doors and officers of the committee are
instructed to permit no cards TO DE
handed in. Considerable feelng was
today engendered among some OF the
gentlemen desiring to be heard by the
facility with which Isidoro Strauss and
his brother and partner in business
New York succeeded in entering the
sacred presence of the committee.
The sub committee OH international
revenue is still at work apart from the
other members, and will probably con
clude is labors some time tomorrow
night. No changes of Importance are
contemplated in the internal revenue
tax on tobacco or beer, though 1T is
probable there will be slight increase
of the whisky tax.
