who outraged and murdered Miss Mamie
Armstrong in Lafayette county, were
fiayed and burned.
man who has Just reached this place
from Lafayette county says the belief
is general that the negroes were tortured
to death. One man. who ventured into
the camp where the negroes were carried
asserts that he found the place where the
negroes were put to death. He says that
it was evident that the negroes were tied
to trees and the skin stripped from them
with knives.
Then wood was heaped about the bleed
ing FORMS the match applied, and the
wretches were soon dead This man says
he found some strips of skin about the
place, which lears out the belief that
they were ilayed and burned.
Everything is quiet in Lafayette coun
ty. and there is no fear of trouble be-
tween the races. The better class of ne
groes denounce the outrage and murder
Of Miss Armstrong as bitterly as the
whites. Twelve negroes have now been
lynched IN six months. and it would seem
that the horrible fate of the last three
should prevent further attacks upon white
women. The whiGes have formed a band,
and are determined to protect their wives

Justice FulIer's Decision

WASHINGTON. May 20. Immediately
on convening of the supreme court Chief
Justice Fuller today read the income
tax opinion. The fact that he read it was
generally accepted as conclusive that the
law would be knocked out in toto, which
proved to be the case.
The conclusions of the court were:
First-We adhere to the opinion already
announced, that taxes on real estate be-
ing indsputably direct taxes, taxes on
rents or incomes from real estate are
equally direct taxes.
Second-We are of opinion that taxes
on personal property or OIL income from
personal property are likewise direct
taxes.
Thrd-The tax imposed by sections 81
to 81, inclusive, of the act of 1894. so far
as it falls OH the income of real estate
and on personal property. being a direct
tax within the meaning OF the constitu-
tion and therefore unconstitutional and
void, because not apportioned according
to representation, all these sections. con-
stituting the entire scheme of taxation,
are necessarily invalid. The DEGREES here
inbefore entered in this court will be va
Gated. The DEGREES below will be reversed
and the cases remanded, with Instructions
to grant the relief prayed for.
Sections 81 to 81 of the tariff act of
1894, referred to in the conclusions of the
court in its opinion, are sections of the act
relating to the income tax, and the entire
income tax law is hereby declared void
speci tically
At the outset of his opinion Chief JUS
tice Fuller said: Whenever this court is
required to pass upon the validity of an
act of congress, as tested by fundamental
law enacted by the people, the duty i'm
posed demands in its discharge the ut
most deliberation and care, and invokes
the exercise of great governmental power
and brings into consideration as vitally
affected by the decision that complex sys-
tenn of government so sagaciously framed
to secure and perretuate the indestructi-
Bile union composed of indestructible
states. We have therefore an anxious de-
sire to omit nothing which might in any
degree tend to elucidate the questions
subm itted, and aided by further able ar
guments embodying the fruits of elabor-
ate research. carefully rc-eXamined these
cases with the result that, while our for
mer conclusions remain unchanged, their
scope must be enlarged by acceptance of
their logical consequences. Our previous
decision was confined to the consldera-

law transfers the diocesan property to
Coadjutor Archbishop Kain. Several
months ago newspaper controversy
arose over the reported loss of Archbishop
Kenrick's will. Archbishop Kain gave
out at the time that the testam ent was in
the hands of Archbishop Hennessy Of
Dubuque, Iowa. Since then, however,
another and later will has been found.
The plaintiffs, who, by the way. act as
beneficaries of the trust. say this last will
is confused and almost i'm possible of in.
terpretaLion that the devisem ents would
come to naught in case Archbishop Ken
rick died and this instrument was filed
for probate.
Another cause for fear growing out of
the Improperly drawn will is the posi-
BILE action OF heirs of Archbishop Ken
drick. This danger is anticipated from
Ireland, where the aged preiate is sup
posed to have relatives. We're he to die
and not leave a valid will these heirs
would have prima facie cause for action
for the possession Of millions, which he
holds in fee simple.
The anxiety Of Archbishop Kahn and his
advisers to avert publicity and lawsuit
brought Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia
to this city few weeks ago. Archbishop
Ryan went home unsuccessful. and the
lawyers set to work. Yesterdays suit was
the last resort of Archbishop Kahn to get
full control of the diocese which Rome
intends him to rule.

THE WILDE CASE

Over Till Next Term

over ! Ill Next Term
LONDON, May 20.-The Old Bailey
court was crowded today when Justice
Wills. accompanied by the lord mayor of
Lond' n, Right Hon. Sir Joseph Ronals
and several aldermen, took their seats
upon the bench preparatory to the second
trial of Oscar Wilde, charged with serious
IN isdemeanors. Wilde had previously
been driven to Old Bailey by Lord Doug
lass OF Hawick, and Rev. Stewart Head
lam, his two pondsmen. He looked hag-
gard but had apparently improved in
health since his release on bail, and
walked smilingly into the prisoner S
dock, where he took his stand beside AL
fred Taylor charged with similar offenses.
Sir Edward Clarke. counsel for Wilde,
made an elaborate argument in favor of
having Wilde tried separately. The Judge
agreed and decided to try Taylor first
Sir Edward Clarke thea dwelt at length
on the great injustice done his client by
having to wait while Alfred Taylor was
tried. But in spite OF the argument of
his counsel Wilde looked only too pleased
as he stepped from the dock for his bail
to be renewed, and he was again released
from custody. 1t is probable the Wilde
case will go over until next session of the
central criminal court and there is evil
IDENTITY but a slight ance of his convic-
ton. Indignant comment is heard on
all sides at the turn events have taken.

Martinez Campos has been by force

able Spain temporarily to maintain pos

double army-one Of occupation and one

uation now reposes in the keeping Of the
board of police com mmissioners. which
body has full power to forever wipe out
the present blot in this particular on the
fair fame of the city.
A large delegation of women interested
in the matter were on hand when Presi-
dent Teed called the council to order yes
terday morning. The publications. of The
Herald had aroused an interest which
compelled action. and that at once. The
ladies present were invited during lul in
the regular proceedings of the council to
detail the horrible grievance to which,
technically at least members Of their sex
have been subjected by the var
Gus municipal administrations of the past
seven or eight years.
Miss G. T. Stickney of the Saliva
ton Army was the first speaker,
and her powerful portrayal of the
present condition of the female ward
in the central station created a feeling of
horror to all who listened to the story.
Mrs. NJ. S. Dlmmick followed, and then
Councilman Munson. unable to any longer
restrain himself, moved that the police
ately provide for new quarters for the
female prisoners domiciled at the city
Jail. Councilman Pessell seconded the
motion. and then Councilmen Snyder
and kingery each made an address ap-
proving of action being at once
taken. "Unless there is objection" re.
marked President iced, "Mr. Munson's
motion will be declared to have been
unanimously adopted"
Then the ladies filed out and the coun-
Gil resumed its regular weekly labors.

Men With Big Incomes Need

GREAT QUESTION SETTLED
An Elaborate Opinion Rendered by
Justice Fuller
The Law Passed by the Last Congress
Knocked Into Cooked Hat and
Income Tax 10 Dead

Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, May 20.--The income
tax law, which has received so large a
share of the pubic attention since the be-
ginning of the regular session of the Fif
ty-third congress, is a thing of the past.
After being twice heard in the United
States supreme court, it was finally de-
cided today by the court to be invalid
and unconstitutional. There were four
dissenting opinions delivered in these
cases today, one each by Justices Harlan.
Brown, Jackson and White, showing that
the court had stood five to four against
the law. Inasmuch as one of these dis
senting opinions was handed down by
Justice Jackson, and as he was absent at
the first hearing, when the court divided
evenly on the question of sustaining the
law on all points except tn ose as to the
tax on incomes from rents and bonds, it
follows that one of the members of the
court who at first pronounced for the law,
except on those two points, changed his
attitude after the second argument.
There Is very little question that JUS
tice Shiras is the justice who changed
his views on these points. He made no
announcements, either today or when the
first opinion was delivered, as to his
opinion. While the opinion of the chi eff
justice was largely review Of the gem
eral aspects of the question involved, he
based the opinion of the court today on
the argument that the provisions of the
law regarding the tax on rents and bonds
were so essentially factor of it as to
Ill e L..
them. and in accordance with the well
known rule of law bearing on this ques-
ton. the law as whole must be declared
invalid.
The opinion of Justices Harlan and
White were couched in language so Wig
orous and were SO emphatic in their ar
raisnment of the majority as to cause
very general comment. Both justices in
dictated their belief that the ruling opin-
ion was voluntary and intimated that
serious consequences might ensue. JUS
tice Harlan suggested the necessity for
amending the constitution in the view of
the opinion.
The court room was packed during the
entire three hours, when the opinions
were being delivered. The unexpected
event OF today was in the appearance OF
Justice Jackson. He had announced
after casting his vote last Saturday week
that he would return on the following
Monday to Tennessee, but it appears
that instead he went to Philadelphia to
consult a specialist on internal diseases.
He left the bench Immediately after de-
livering his opinion today, and it is un-
derstood will now proceed south. He de-
livered his opinion from notes.
1t should probably be stated that while
the cases in these opinions were delivered
are uniformly characterized as the in
come tax cases, they are known on the
court dockets as the cases of Charles Pol
lock VS.. the Farmers Loan and Trust
company and Louis II. Hyde VS.. the Con-
tnental Trust company of New York
both appealed from the circuit court Of
the United States for the southern dis
trict of New York.

effect that the United States coast de-
Tense ship Monterey, which cleared from
this port ostensibly for Callao, Peru, has
put back to Mare island 70, repairs ito
her steering gear, which has developed
serious imperfections on her voyage
down the coast. That the defect must
be OF considerable importance is believed
from the fact that the officers of the ship
