Wilmington, N. c., March 1S.-A man
with mania for turning in false hfc
alarms from boxes in remote sections
of the city has been operating success
fully in Wilmington for nearly a week
Last night at II o'clock when the de-
partment had nearly a mile run IN re-
sponse to one of these false alarms the
firemen discovered in the vicinity a
young white man named Judge, who was
recently discharged from the United
States army and upon whom suspicion
had rested for some time. Under the I'M
pulse of the moment the enraged fremen
set upon Judge and horsewhipped him
severely Residents in the neighborhood
wre alarmed at the mans cries OF dis
tress and the police were sent to queil
the disturbances. In the meantime the
frcmen and their victim had disappeared.
Although Judge has lodged no complaint
with the authorities, the police are max
ing an investigation. 1t is said to be
known that Judge did not actually turn
in the alarm. but the firemen claimed,
after the whipping, that he had knoWl-
edge of the matter, and they believed him
guilty of the actual misdemeanof at
TIE time.

IN THE MATTER OF TAXES
Dr. Geo Graham, Of Charlotte, on the Matter
Of Equalization.

The following correspondence. between
Hon. Franklin Mcneil. chairman of the
Corporation Commission, and RI. Geo.
W. Graham, of Charlotte, brings out
some interesting facts with regard to the
equalization of taxes
The following letter was sent by Mr.
MoNeill to Dr. Graham on the 18th:
Dear Sir;-I am pleased to see that
you are interested in the subject of tax
alton in our State and that your ar
tiele published some days ago has at
tracted attention from several quar-
ters l send you under separate cover
copy of the report of the State Tax Com
mission, which / hope you will do us the
honor to read We believe the adoption
of our recommendations in regard to
limiting the tax rate would do more to
equalize assessments than any number
of boards of equalization.
In reply, under date Of March 18th, Dr.
Graham wrote thus:
Dear Sir:-Your letter and The Re-
port of Corporation Commission We're
received yesterday. Thank you for send
ing them. l have only had time to make
a cursory examination of the report since
it came. Am much pleased however.

ing the tax rate and hope they will be
adopted. Something ought also to be
done to make the delinquent counties
bear their proportion of State taxes. 1t
IS not only ridiculous but unjust for one
half of the counties of North Carolina
to be supported by the other.
Something is also apparently Wrong
with State pensions. The idea of Burke
county, with population of less than
$4,000, not only drawing more money for
pensions out of the State Treasury than
any other county, but actually receiv-
ing a larger sum for pensions alone
than its combined State taxes amount
to. Some other counties are almost as
bad but l cite Burke because its case
is the most fragrant on the list. / don't
know who has the authority to make
the appointment, but a pension exam
iner should be sent from county to coun-
ty to look into its pension matter. BY
this means more than enough money
could be saved to pay the tracer hand
some salary and many errors corrected.
"In many respects the school fund is
as badly managed as pensions Ashe
for instance, draws more money
out of the Treasury for schools only
than would pay it's entire State taxes
Hone YOU can find some remedy for this
state of affairs.

account of taxation without representa-

in accord with what is known as the
Iowa Idea, looking to some tariff revis-
ion The demand for taking the tariff
duties off of articles controlled by the
trusts, or making heavy cut in them. is
growing in the West If the President
joins in that demand men like Aldrich
and Allison fear the result. 1t would de-
stroy the calm and peace they wish to
preserve within the Republican party. In
old times whenever the people began to
demand new rights and privileges from
their kings those monarchs were wont
to drown the internal cries by declaring
a war upon some foreign country In the
glare and flourish and enthusiasm of a
! foreign war, the people who fought were
| clothed and fed, and for the time forgot
the despotic way Of their sovereign. In
party leaders, who are the special rep
resentatives Of protected interests, find
that the rank and file are growing FESTIVE
under the heavy taxation imposed to en-
rich the trusts, they divert attention
from the discriminative and burdensome
taxation by waving the bloody shirt
and renewing the talk about Southern
barbarities and wrongs upon the negro!
More than once this plan has saved the
ever nearer approached the old plan of
the kings when they bought the Philip
pines in part to give chief prominence to
foreign question in order to prevent any
real tariff agitation and tax reduction
Under the glamor of war, and our proper
and patriotic devotion to the American
soldiers bravely fighting in the Philip
pines, who could talk about the dry
question of one mans imposing tax on
of the fight in Iowa, 1t is believed thai
Mr.. Opportunist Allison is looking for
some issue which will avoid a tariff
trouble within the Republican party, and
that he is Of the opinion that the re-
ducton of Southern representation af-
fords the only issue to divert public at
tention from the tariff issue which is
booming up large on the horizon If he |
is of that opinion in December the South |
may see its representation cut down by
the next Congress.
The wise action of the Democratic mi |
nority on the Cuban treaty will open the
whole tariff question in Congress next /
December, The Republicans wished the |
Senate to ratify the treaty without the |
House having a word to say. When |
however, the Democratic Senators pointed |
out that it was a revenue measure and |
must be passed upor by the House to be |
constitutional the Republicans saw that |
position. Therefore the Cuban treaty, |
dealing with many tariff schedules will /
come up in the House next December
This will open up the whole tariff ques-
tlon, and every schedule will have to t
run the gauntlet of amendments. BY
this the Democrats will focus the public /
attention upon the tariff, its inequalities,
and its favoritism to the trusts. Is it to
prevent this that Senator Allison and |
other Republican Senators are ready to
change the Senate rules and to return to
bloody shirt waving? ]. d.

HER MEMORY REFRESHED
Since the Conviction of Her Husband
 For Murder Three Years Ago.

Attorney Thomas Flanagan of Tombstone arrived in the city yes terday morning to visit his client, Burt Alvord. and to attend to other busi- ness. which will keep here until the first of next week. One of his CT rands is to secure, if possible, the re- lease of VarsaliO Garcia from the pen itentiary, to which he was sentenced three years ago for a term of several years.
 Garcia's crime was the killing of his father-in-law, Cypriano Moreno. The killing took place along the Crosscut canal on the morning of Feb. 16, 1901. There had been a quarrel of long stand ing between the two men, and the the ory of the defense was that the killing was done in self-defense. There, were two circumstances against it. One was that the men were on different sides of the canal at the time Mo- reno was shot and the other was that Moreno was net armed.
 About the only thing in support of the plea of self-defense that could be proved at the time was that Moreno had made threats against Garcia. It is said that some new evidence has been developed and that Garcia's wife will furnish it, though she was reticent at the time Of the trial.
 Garcia said that she had told him that her, father had threatened to kill him as soon as he met him and that on the morning of the killing he had lain in wait for him at the bridge She would not testify at the trial to that fact, and as there were no ether witnesses in support of the claim of self-defCnse Garcia was convicted.
 She is now said to be willing to ad- nit that her father had made that threat to her against her husband, and that she knows that he stood at the bridge armed and ready to carry it cut.

MIR. MOhGAN'S KICK.
The Senate He Says Will Have Voice

Washington, D. C., Nov. 6.-Senator Morgan said tonight that soon after congress convenes in extra session he will introduce a resolution calling on the foreign relations committee of the senate to obtain from the state depart ment a detailed report of the relations between the United States-and Colom- bia under the treaty of 1S46.
 According to Senator Morgan the at titude of this country is not justified by a careful construction of the pro- visions of the treaty and is at vaTi- ance with precedents laid down by the United States.
 In discussing the situation today he said:
 This is the fourth time the United States has landed troops on the isth- mus under the cloak of the treaty.
 Heretofore it has been for the sup pression of rioting and for the protec- ton of Colombia. Now that it IS against the wish of Colombia it ur- Goubtedly will provoke a just protest.
 Colombia means war. of that l am certain. This government will find that it will have d series of complica- tions on its hands not unlike that of fered by the Indians when they were met with the territorial aggression of this government and the trouble the Colombians will make will be similar to that of the Filipinos with the con duct of warfare far more difficult. believe, however, that the administra- ton will not have this matter to decide. It is a question for the United States senate, and that body is not likely to shirII the responsibility"
