Miss Helen Could who has before now
come into notice because of her public
spirit and generosity, is said to have tele-
graphed President Mckinley offering to
donate 100000 to be used for national pur-
poses. 1t is understood that the President
will accept the gift. While the govern
meRt has not reached the place where it
is in need of personal gifts to assist it in
preparing for war, as Spain has, still there
is no reason why Miss Goulds donation,
and others of the same sort, should not be
accepted with the thanks of the admins
tration. If the rich women-and men, too,
for that matter-feel like giving money
for the defense of the country which af-
fords them protection and the opportunity
for profitable investments they ought to
be encouraged toldo it, fer

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-04-30

The time has passed in which citizens of
the kingdom of Spain may renounce their
allegiance and become citizens of the Uni
ted States. The Spanard who desires TO
become an American must now wait until
the war is over before he can be accom-
modated. In. section 2,171 of the Revised
Statutes of the United States it is pro-
vided that no person who is the subject
of a country with which the United States
are at war can become a citizen of this
country during the tendency of that war.
The good sense of that law is apparent.
If the door to citizenship were left open
it might be easy for traitors to work their
way into the navy or the army, with dis
astrous results. II is reported that
Spaniard on board one of the American
warships was a day or two ago found tam
peripg with the locks on the magazine If
he could have destroyed three or four hun
dred Americans, and an American war
Ship even at the cost of his own life, he
would have considered his life well sold.

WANTED At SCHULKILL HAVEN
The Constable Fired Shot at His Man But
it Went Wide of the Mark--The
Chase Caused Much Excite

This Afternoon.

Excitement ran high for short period this
afternoon on Main street. between Centre
and Lloyd streets. Pedestrians stood in
amazement while clerks and other occupants
Of the business houses in that vicinity fOcked
to the sidewalk to ascertain the cause of the
cOmmotion.
The principal character in the scene was
William, alias Butch" Zollner, of town.
He is wanted by the Schuylkill Haven au-
thOrities for committing criminal assault
upon former lady resident of town, whose
name could not he learned. Shortly before
two o'clock Zolluer entered ShUrtal's barber
shop, and while awaiting his turn to get
shaved constable from Schuylkill Haven
named Butts, entered and inquired for the
prisoner He was pointed out to him by
Policeman Mullahy. The officer refused tC
read the warrant but took his prisoner in
tow. When the front entrance was reached

dashed up Main street at break-neck speed

while ZOllner did likewise at Lloyd street
| The latter had no sooner turned the corner
when the constable fired shot at the fleeing
man but without effect. Zolner paid ne
attention to the shot and continued his wild
gait until the railroad crossing at the Lehigl
Valley station was reached, His course here
was interrupted by a passing coal train, but
quick as flash he boarded the train and
jumped off on the other side.

The first regular meeting of the School
Board for this month will be held this even
ing, and the business to be transacted will be
of much importance to the taxpayers of the
borough. The fnapce committee will sub
nit a lengthy report, and upon their recon-
mendations the rate Of mills for 1898 will be
fixed. The present rate is Ia mills, and some
of the members are inclined to the belief that
this should be increased, while others are
opposed to the increase. Another question
for consideration is the bonds of Tax Collector
Scanlan. The Board has taken no action in
the matter and neither has the Board
granted Mr.. Scanan the generations asked
for. One or two members of the Board have
made two visits to representatives of the
Taxpayers Association at Pottsville, and on
Saturday two of the Directors and one of the
newly elected teachers were in Pottsville for
that purpose, but their visit has been kept
quiet. The Taxpayers Association has ad
dressed a communication to the Board, which
will be considered at to-nights meeting, bear
ing upon the bond question. Tonight
meeting, therefore, is likely to be the mos
important of the term so far.
