SAID TO HAVE STABBED HIS WIFE.
Robert Leeth in Jail for a Deadly
Assault.
Because His Wife Left Him to Escape
Abuse, He Assaults Her With
a Knife.

| Robert Leeth of Clay Station, in the
in the County Jail, having been sent
there several days ago on commit
ment by Justice Gray of Gait, charging
him with assault with deadly weapon.
No information regarding the case has,
however, been furnished the District
+, Attorneys office, except through cur
rent rumors.
Leeth's intended victim is his wife,
who it is said he assaulted with knife
last Tuesday because she left him and
started to go home with her mother.
Mrs. Leeth has been subjected to harsh
treatment by her husband, and when
her mother, Mrs. Thomas Allen, and an
other lady visited her on Tuesday she
decided to return to the parental roof
as she was afraid to remain longer with
him
The story goes that the ladies met
Leeth on the road, and when he learned
from his wife that she had abandoned
their home, he became enraged, jumped
into the vehicle occupied by her and
their child, and stabbed her in the
breast. Mrs. Allen and her companion,
a Mrs. Wilson, defended Mrs. Leeth and
were cut about their hands while try
ing to disarm the infuriated man. He
was the next day arrested on the charge
stated, examined before Justice Gray
and held to answer in 81, 600 bail
Mrs. Leeth, it is reported, is in a very
critical condition at the home of her
parents, and at last accounts it was
not certain she would recover. If the
assault on her was of the character re-
ported it would seem that the proper
charge against Leeth would be assault
to murder.
A singular feature of the affair is
that the District Attorneys office was
not appriSed of the crime and therefore
had no hand in the prosecution of the
case before the Justice. That office is
yet in the dark as to all the facts. The
District Attorney should have been rep
resented at the examination, in order
that all the circumstances would be fa-
miliar to him when the case comes up
for trial in the Superior Court. 1t
seems to have been a rather singular
proceeding all through
The presence of Leeth in the County
Jail had escaped all the keen scented
bright young men" of the city news
paper fraternity, though they daily
visit the Sheriff's office in their hunt
for news. Even the officers of the jail
say they knew nothing of the case be-
yond the fact that Leeth had been sent
there by Justice Gray and that he had
been held for trial for assault with
deadly weapon.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Mrs. Cora Daley Determines to Leave
This World.

That Mrs. Cora Daley is not now
lying on slab in the Morgue is prob
ably due to the fact that she became
frightened and sent word to a friend
that she had taken laudanum last
night
She was Cora Fellows three years
ago, and was only about IL years old
when she married Daley, who is at
present employed by the Sacramento
Transfer Company, and who was also
youthful.
Their marital life has not, however,
proved to be a serene one, and stormy
quarrels have frequently obscured the
horizon. He was jealous Of her, and
she claims that she had good reason to
be jealous of him. They have several
times separated, and she would go
home to her father, but would finally go
back to him, only to renew the unhap-
piness engendered by their disagree
ments.
Yesterday afternoon she called on her
friend and told her that she was tired
OF living; that her husban- was in
fatuated with a woman who lives on j
street and had deserted her for the OBJ
iect of his infatuation. She said he had
promised to do better, but had not done
so, and that she was unable to find
him. She showed bottle of laudanum
which she had purchased and an
nounced her intention to commit
suicide.
Her friend reasoned with her and ap-
parently pursuaded her to change her
mind and go home TO her father. In
stead of doing so, however, she went to
the Pacific Hotel and engaged room,
and about half-past { in the evening
sent word to her friend that she had
taken dose Of laudanum. Her friend
Immediately FASTENED to the room and
found that she had, as far as could be
judged, swallowed about half an
ounce of the deadly drug.
A telephone message was immedi-
ately sent to the police station and
City Physician Nichols was summoned
and Immediately responded, and by 10
o'clock she was declared out of danger.

Governor Budd said the main cause

He instructed the Generals of bri-

careful inspection of the effect OF the
present act. The ground should be

the departure was made.
In subsequent part of the opin-
ion the chief justice says that lit
is not doubted that property owners
ought to contribute in just measure
to the expenses of the government.
AS to the states, that is reached
largely by the imposition of direct
taxes. AS to the federal government,
it is attained, in part, through ex-
cises and indirect taxes on iuxuries
and consumption generally, to which
direct taxation may be added to the
extent which the rule of apportion-
men allows" This language, with
its explicit admission of the power
to tax directly, removes the misap-
prehension caused by the syllabus
that the court had written into the
constitution "the expectation and I'M
derstanding" of the trainers that di-
rect taxes would not be resorted to
except under stress of some great
exigency.
One beneficial effect of the does sion,
one that will have its point sharp
ened should the full court uphold
the income tax, is the impetus it has
given the public mind to the move
ment to substitute direct for indi-
rect taxation. In the exemption it
gives to those incomes derived from
M in
subject to the tax those derived from
the industries of the nation, it has
drawn as never before the attention
of men to the iniquity of permitting
land and it's income derived from
rentals of 1T and its improvements
to be scot free of contributing to
the federal burden, while laying a
heavy hand on the necessaries of all
lives regardless of the pecuniary abil-
ity to bear them. The American
system of taxation is to base con-
tributionS on the wealth of the man,
not on his needs. The octroi tax is
a hateful one anywhere, but nowhere
were the principle Of tariff taxation
to be extended from our frontiers
to the gates of our cities, and tribute
laid on the food supplies that came
in, there would be a revolution in
tWenty-four hours. We hope that the
court will sustain the emasculated
law until it shall have educated our
people into the wickedness of the ex-
emption of realty from federal bur-
den bearing and made palmer by
it the iniquity of tax on consump-
ton.

WASHINGTON, April %. = Ex-
Congressman John M. Langston, tha
attorney of eX-Consul Waller, who
is imprisoned at St. Pierre by the
French, is determined to push the
case with all the power he possesses.
I'm the first place." said he, I'VE
propose to maintain the concessions
obtained by Mr.. Waller in Madagas-
car. The whole purpose of the prose-
cution and persecution of Waller by
the French government was to de-
spoil him of the concessions he pro-
cured. The French government real
ICES that the concessions are of inn
menSe value. Then we intend to
force the French government to pay
to Waller an indemnity commensur-
ate with the persecution he has I'M
dergone. He was given a mock trial,
was threatened, and finally conveyed
in irons to France, where he now
lies in prison awaiting a civil trial"
Mr.. LangSton said the amount of
indemnity to be asked would be de-
termined after he hal communicated
with Waller. Mr.. Langston is entire
ly satisfied with the course of the
state department. which, he said.
had called for a thorough investiga-
ton of and report on the case by
Minister Eustis at Paris and the
consul at Tamatave, Madagascar.
AS soon as these are received, if
they are shown to bear out Mr..
Walters representations, Mr.. Langs-
ton expects the administration to
take prompt action looking to ;he re-
lease of the prisoner, and to demand
from France a proper money in
demnity.

NOT so SWEEPING.

The overthrow or the maintenance
OF the income tax law now de-
ponds on the opinions Justice jackson
may hold. The court divided evenly
on the question whether the act as
a whole was constitutional, and should
Justice Jackson agree with those who
regard it as invading that venerated
document, the whole law will fall.
This will soon be known, as the court
will hear the motions for a rehearing
early next month, and should the abb
sent justice join the opponents of the
law, the rehearing would follow, and
the notification of the act be the re-
suit.
In commenting on the decision of
the court we conclude we attached
too much Importance to the sixth par
agraph Of the opinion, which said
that it was the expectation and under
standing of the trainers of the con-
stitution that the federal government
would not resort to direct taxation
unless in some emergency, and that
agreement had been acted on until
last year. We have SINCE seen and
read the full opinion as read by the
chief justice. and the inference that
the. court meant TO eonfine congress
to imposts and excise taxation for
federal revenues is not warranted by
!. the text. If that expectation and un-
derstanding are to be ignored, and
hereafter, in times of peace, congress
is going to use its constitutional power
of direct taxation, then, the chief
Justice said, there must be a.. more

AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.
Archbishop Ireland Lectures in
Boston.

Boston.
BOSTON, April S.-Archbishop
Ireland lectured in Boston theater to-
night for the benefit of the Working
Boys hme. His subject was
American Citizenship
In part, he said: American citizen
ship is American manhood, the man
hood of all born or adopted into the
American nation. The creation of
the republic of America was the
in history. But 1 am afraid
that patriotism with some who pro-
fess to be the staunchest Americans
is in practice made subseryent to bust
ness claims or to false sentiment of
self-respect. Among the misfortunes
of America I must make mention of
the caucus and primary. BY these a
few men are able to impose upon the
whole party their own candidates.
Wirepuliers and slatemakers take the
place of the people. The liquor power
must be totally eliminated from poll
tics If we respect the institutions of
American democracy and desire their
permanance. The aims of the saloon
are selfish; its methods are Shiny and
criminal
The work of the patriot is so to ele-
Vate with the whole people the stand
ard of citizenship that none shall per-
init malign agencies to influence them
In the exercise of their franchises
Immigration must be restricted so
as to exclude criminals and paupers.
Nor should immigrants in any state of
the Union be prematurely authorized
to vote. A due respect for American
citizenship guards against a reckless
extension of it to men coming to us
from other lands. No encouragement
must be given to social or political or
CARNATIONS or methods which perpet-
uate in this country foreign ideas or
customs. An Irish-American, a Ger
man-American or French-American
vote is an intolerable anomaly"
