NEWSPAPER ROAST OF ROYALTY
William O'Brien's Paper, Irish People, Suppressed
London Police After Copies Forwarded from
Dublin Before the Seizure.

Dublin, May 1O.-William O'Brien's
newspaper, the Irish People. was
seized last night by representatives
Of the crown because of articles it con-
tanned, construed by the government
as seditiously lebelous.
The following are some of the per-
sonalities which caused the papers
%seizure:
'Down upon his knees before an old
and baldheaded roue, the lover of
every woman of fair features who has
appeared in English society for 40
years, including titled danes and as
as yet untitled actresses the English

A Study in Taxation.

Boston Herald: On the 23rd and
24th of next month the National Civic
Federation proposes to hold a confer
ence at Buffalo, N. Y, of the friends
OF tax reform from the various states
OF the union, in the hope that by
means OF sucn a gathering some ideas
may be formulated which will tend
toward more uniformity and inter-
state comfy. 1t is pointed out in the
call for this conference that dissat-
isfaction with our present methods
of taxation, both state and local, has
rapidly grown. These METHODS were
adopted to suit the early conditions
of our American life. These interests
were largely localized, Abut of late in
dustry has overstepped the bound
aries Of any one state. and CONNER
cial interests are no longer confined
by old local limits. Then, too, cor
porate activity has largely changed
the character of personal property and
individual Investments. The tax prob
lem can no longer be considered a
local problem, and, what is more, it
cannot be properly solved without con-
sidering the mutual relations of con-
tiguous state and locality. An un-
equal tax on the farmer in one state
may make it difficult for him to sell
his products in the world markets.
An unjust tax Upon the manufacturer
or business man may drive him out
Of business, while an unfair tax on
a corporation may cause it to move
to another state. Action taken by one
commonwealth thus reacts upon it's
neighbor. Those who have called
this conference believe that the time
has come to endeavor to reform, by
cooperative action, the now discord-
ant tax systems by considering the
problems involved from a national
point of view. The questions which
are to be considered are 1) inter-
state taxation of quasi public corpor-
ations, (2) taxation of personal prop
erty, 90 taxation of mortgages, a.
separation of state and local revenues,
t5) taxation of the farmer, co. equit-
able assessment of real property, 60
Inheritance tax, (S) taxation of cor
porations, (9) franchise tax, (10) in
come tax. This conference, while
largely attended by members of the
National Civic Federation, who are
among the leading business and pro-
f~assional men of the country, will, we
imagine, be open to all Of those who
have an interest in this highly i'm
portant subject.

CLOUD BURST.
All Kinds of Damage Done by the
CeIuge.

0SiASCs
Pittsburg, May 10.-A mighty cloud.
burst struck Tarentum and vicinity
tonight and did many thousand, of dol.
lars worth Of damage in a very short
time. @
Suddenly, and without any warn
ing, the flood gates of heaven were
opened. Rain fell in torrents for one
hour, barns were washed down off
hills, and in some cases were upturned
against residences. Bridges were
washed away, the railroad bed was
washed away at Creighton and the
railroad track was covered with three
feet of water for more than three
miles. Telegraph and telephone poles
were washed down onto the tracks for
a long distance and at least seven
hundred cellars were flooded. The
people were panic stricken when they
saw the foods descending and many
moved their furniture from their
homes. Before the flood abated the
rain turned to hail and inside of ten
minutes more than an inch of hail COW
cred the ground for miles. Big land
slides are reported from up the road,
and across the river on the Valley
railroad. No loss of life is reported.

efforts are making to trace the girl.
One story is that she was carried off

PROVES POOR INVESTMENT.
English Government Operates Tele.
graph Service at Heavy Loss.


London, May 10.-Honniker Hea-
ton, conservative, in the house of com
mons today drew attention to the an
nual loss of e7OO,O 900 in the telegraph
service, ~aggregating GS,300,O00 since
the government acquired the lines, and
asked how the government proposed to
remedy this.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the chan
cellor of the eXchequer, admitted the
correctness of the report and said the
reason for the loss was th;. the public
was more eager for rapid communica-
ton than the revenue warranted. I'm
productive extensions must be discour-

Mr.. Heaton also asked if the gov

BRICKS AND CoBBLE STONES
USED BY MOB.
SEVERAL POLICEMEN HURT
Dozen Citizens Injured More or
Less Severely None
Fatally.

Detroit, May 10.-Fully 10000 men
and boys ran riot in the main streets
of this city for more than three hours
tonight, and a continual running fight
with the police, both mounted and on
foot, created wild excitement on
Campus Martius in the heart of the
city. The result, SO far as known, is
IL citizens and five policemen injured.
The names Of only two citizens known
at present are Mike Walton and Louis
Caplin. Both men had their heads
crushed by being trampled on by
horses ridden by mounted police in
charging on the crowd. r.
The officers injured are: James
Thomey, scalp cut by brick; Henry
Scott, hit on head with cobble stone;
Thomas Murphy, cheek cut open with
brick; George Moore, badly cut about
the head by brick and taken home
in ambulance; Barney koonan, hit
with brick,
The riot began last night when SUI
p~erintendent of Police Frank G. An
drews, who recently superseded the
old police board through the passage
of the Ripper bill by the legislature,
issued an order to the police to allow
no n to stand about the wagon of
n Tom Baldwin, a local single-tax
eXpounder who had incurred the ill
will OF the police director by the ex-
traordinary nature of his remark on
so-called wealthy ''tax-dodgers." When
Baldwin began his e%xhortation the
crowd quickly gathered. Andrews SUI
pervised the work of the police in
keeping the people moving.
The crowd good naturally hooted
at the police and no violence was
done.
Tonight, however, the temper of the
crowd changed when it was announced
that Superintendent Andrews had
called on reserve officers to assist in
keeping Campus Martius clear. The
single-tax exhorter came with his wag-
on and found the campus damned with
people. The police refused to allow
him to locate at any particular point
and he drove from m street to an
other, the crowd following. The mob

lice attempted to dispense them. 1t
was but a moment before stones be-
gan to fly through the air and a gem
eral mix-up followed in which loot po-
lice used their clubs and the mounted
men charged. Officers fired their guns
in the air and the mob returned the
fusilade with bricks and ~cobblestones.
At one time, when the mob gathered
about Central police station at Fort
and Randolph streets, bricks were
thrown through the windows.
In the charge made by the mounted
police at this point Mike Walton was
knocked down and three horses tram
pied over him, cutting his head so
badly that he was taken to the emer-
gency hospital. Officer George Moore
was hit with a stone in this charge
and his cheek was laid open. He was
taken to his home in al ambulance.
Other officers were not seriously hurt.
At one stage of the riot a section Of
hose was secured by order of the po-
lice director and a stream turned on
the crowd, but the hose was cut and
the man who welded the nozzle was
driven into shelter.
