There is one case planted in this state
and one in Iowa to test the constitution
ality of permitting the women to vote
for school directors. In Iowa the COM
mon pleas and district courts have de-
clared it to be unconstitutional and 1T
now awaits the decision of the highest
tribunal in the state, which will not
likely reverse the decision of the lower
courts. Section /, article A Of the con-
stitution reads as follOws:-'In all cleo
tiOns all male inhabitants above the age
of twenty-One years, having resided in
the state one year next preceding the
election, shall enjoy the right of election"
Upon this section and article the actions
in both states are brought.
The women did not petition the right
to vote for school directors, hence are not
to blame for the law. A majority Of the
members Of the present general assembly
in this state voted for the bill to become
a law, and if the courts declare it uncOn-
stitutiOnal, the blame will rest upon
them and not on the women. If it was
necessary to have such law, the better
plan would have been to have submitted
a constitutional amendment to the people
to strike out the word male and make
women citizens, then if it had been rati-
fed, law could be passed giving the
women the right of suffrage, with no
fears of litigation.

LITERARY NOTES.

The fact that NapOleOn's military ca
reer began during the first year Of his
life, with the forced marches which by
his command his father executed at dead
of night, is pointed out by Mr.. John Ken
drick Bangs in his Mr.. BOnaparte Of Cor
sica; and such items of information
timately personal and interesting, yet
hitherto unpublished-will be found in
surprising abundance. The crOwning
merit Of a humorous work is that the au.
thor should know where to draw
the line, and at that precise point
it has been drawn. In this book
there is no violence done to history
the author has had regard for the recog
nized authorities, but has embroidered
the thought with wit-not otherwise thar
as the artist, H. W. McVickar, has en-
livened and decorated the pages will
drawings. Harper & Brothers).

THE INCOME TAX.

The supreme court has had a terrible
wrestle with the income law. Justice
jackson, of Tennessee, was too Ill TO be
present, which only left eight judges on
the bench. Justice Miller, of California,
has submitted a carefully written Opin-
ion that the law is unconstitutional.
The balance of the judges held different
opinions on the several sections OF the
law, but none took the view of it in a
constitutional way as did Justice Miller.
An agreement was finally reached by a
majority Of the bench present upon a
number of the important sections, so
that the tax is being paid.
One cause for the uncOnstitutlOnallty
of the law was that the president and the
supreme judges were not exempt from
paying income tax upon their salaries
which are protected by the constitution.
A paragraph in section Of article 2 of
the constitution reads as follows:
The president shall, at stated times, re-
ceive for his services, a compensation,
which shall neither be increased nor di-
minished during the period for which he
shall have been elected.
A part of section of article protects
the salaries of the judges. 1t reads as
follows:
The Judges, both of the supreme and
inferior courts, shall hold their offices
during good behavior, and shall at stated
times, receive for their services, a com,
pensation, which shall not be diminished
during their continuance in office.
President Cleveland is required to pay
in 1920 on his salary, and the justices
1920.

HoRR1R1E DISCOVERY.
Mutilated Remains of Two Young Ladies
Found in Church,


/, MutiIated Remains of Two Young Ladies
Found in a Church,
SAN Francisco, April Is. 5.-Shortly be-
fore noon Saturday the mutilated body
of Minnie Williams, beautiful young
lady was found in the study of Rev.
DR., Gibson, pastor of Emanuel Baptist
church. The b.ody had been terribly
cut, the instrument of death being a
broken caselnife, which was found in
the room. The discovery was made by
several young ladies who had come to
decorate the church for Easter services.
Pieces of the girls clothing had been
crammed into her mouth, showing that
the murderer tried to stife the cries of
his victim, whom he first outraged and
then hacked to death.
Another horrible discovery was made
Sunday morning, in the steeple OF
Emanuel Baptist church, where the
mutilated remains of young Minnie
Williams were found Saturday. The
church had been desecrated by a second
murder, the victim being another
young girl, Blanche Lamont, who had
been missing since the Sd inst. She had
been strangled to death. Her clothes
had been torn from her person and the
body was almost nude when discovered.
Her shoes and stockings were missing.
The imprints of the assassin's finger
nails were plainly visible on the muir
dered girls throat, but there was no
indication of further violence.
Shortly after the awful discovery
was made, DR.. George Gibson, pastor
of the church. was taken into custody by
the police. No charge was placed
against him but he will be held until
the mystery is fully cleared
Miss Lamont was last seen alive in
the company of Theodore Durant, a
young medical student and assistant
superintendent of the Sunday-school
connected with the defiled place of wor-
ship Durant, who is said to have been
engaged to be married to Miss Lamont,
Is suspected of having taken the life of
the Williams girl, whois known to have
been warm friend of Miss Lamont.
| They were members of the church
which they frequently attended to-
gether and were also in the same Sum
day-school class. Since the disappear
ance of Blanche, Miss Williams often
said she knew that her companion had
met with foul play. This startling
statement reached the ears of several
members of the church and the girl was
asked for an explanation, but she posi-
lively declined to reveal the nature of
her information and the matter was
dropped.
The police are now inclined to think
that Durant, knowing that Miss Will
lians was in possession of sufficient evil
dence to prove his guilt in connection
with the disappearance of Miss Lamont,
concluded to decoy her into the church
and silence her forever. The police
argue that Durant had heard the state
ment of the Williams girl and momen-
tarily feared exposure. AS she con-
tinued to declare that her friend had
been murdered, Durant concluded to
kill her.
Sunday afternoon Rev. George M.
Gibson made a satisfactory explanation
to the chief of police as to his move
ments since last Friday and was al
lowed to depart. Theodore Durant has
been arrested at Walnut Creek, forty
five miles from this city.
