CHARGED WITH WIFE MURDER
Chelmsford (Mass.) Engineer Arrest.
ed In New York.


New York, Feb. 26.-Joseph Wilfrid
Blondin, charged with the murder Of
his wife by cutting off her head at
Chelmsford, near Boston, Mass, last
June, was arrested during the day.
He was identified by a detective from
Boston while he was making applica-
ton to be examined for an engineers
license. The prisoner admitted his
identity, but professed to know moth
ing of the killing of his wife.
Blondin called at the bureau of boil
or inspection at headquarters to apply
for an engineers license. He evident
ly did not notice his own picture post
ed on the wall with the usual announce
ment of a reward tor his apprehension.
Captain Titus of the detective bureau
told the man to call again, and wired
to Boston for a detective who could
identify Blondin. When Blondin re-
turned he was instantly identified and
arrested.
In court the prisoner was remanded
to await extradition papers. At head
quarters he declared that he had last
seen his wife while he was seeing her
off from the station at Boston. Hear
ing later of the discovery of her body
he feared, he said, that he would be
accused of the murder and fled to New
York. He said he had made several
trips as coal passer on a North
German Lloyd steamer. When arrest
ed he said he was endeavoring to get
the position of engineer in a hotel in
which he worked.

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE.

Winona Republican and Herald:
In no quarter is the code reported by
the commission defended as the ideal
system. The commission does not 80
regard it and their conclusions have
been very plainly stated, nor will any
amount of legislative tinkering make
it an ideal system. There seems to
be absolute unanimity of opinion to
the effect that the constitution should
be amended in number Of particu-
lars. It should be amended so as to
make possible the imposition of an
income tax. 1t should be amended 30
as to make possible scientific system
of taxation of corporations, foreign
and domestic, and particularly the
public service corporations operating
under the franchises secured from the
public. It seems also to be reasonably
we'll agreed that it should be amend
ed 80. as to permit certain degree of
local option in taxation.
The legislature could make no
greater mistake than to 80 amend the
code as to make it satisfactory to any
considerable interest and thereby
withdraw the influence Of that inter
est from the support Of these desirable
amendments for the amendments can
only be secured by uniting all interests
behind them.

Minnesota House Reaches Vote on
Proposed New Law.

st. Paul, Feb. 26.-The tax code was
beaten in the house by a vote OF 90
TO "a. The final test was made under
circumstances most suspicious to the
friends of the bill, who, despite some
unexpected recruits, were six votes
short of the majority necessary to pass
their measure. They have not entire
" given up hope, however, and will
make an effort to resuscitate the
slaughtered measure by reconsidera-
ton, and the elimination of the Wal
lace amendments.
The legislature will now attempt to
agree on a bill submitting constitu-
tional amendments to be voted on next
fall. Other tax legislation will be at
tempted, and the session is not likely
to close till the last of next week.
Four members were absent on &C
count of sickness, but even with these
the bill would have been lost.
