CAPITATI0N TAXABLEs

So long as the Democrats con
trolled the Levy Court, and the
Capitation Tax Collectors of the
City of Wilmington were of that
party, no word was heard from
the EUery Evening about the ex'
pense that the county was under
by reason of these officials. But,
when the Republican majority OF
the present Levy Court after q
futile attempt to make the collec.
tors collect, decided not to ap.
point the officers last year, and
again this year, but had failed to
order the Clerk of the Peace to
leave the names off the books, at
once the cry of extravaganza is
raised by that journal. AS the
EUery Evening we'll knows, the
law requiring the appointment
of these collectors and the issu-
ance to them of separate books,
was passed by a Democratic Leg
islature for the purpose of pro-
viding places for two men, one of
whom was a member of the Leg
islature at the time. Under this
law certain duties are placed up
on'the Clerk of the Peace and we
very much doubt if a resolution
of the Levy Court would be a
sufficient excuse for non-compli-
ance with the law. The Levy
Court has always claimed the
power to fix the prices on other
matters, and it may do so in com
pensating the Clerk of the Peace
for this work.
THE TRANSCRIPT has always
been opposed to this Capitation
Tax. because it is an unjust tax,
and this action of the Levy Court
makes it even more unjust. Pro.
perty owners in the rural dis
tricts and many non property
owners pay this tax when they
are called upon. Others do not.
In the city of Wilmington with
its $4,000 population, no capita
tion is collected. The assessors
are paid for putting names on the
books and the Clerk.of the Peace
for transcribing them, and there
it stops. The system is all wrong
and this particular law is the |
worst feature of the system. We |
have hoped that some means
would be adopted to secure a re-
vision of our entire tax laws. No
1ne or two amendments will
much improve them. What is
wanted is to get as far away
from the old laws of 1873. which,
after all, are the foundation of all
hat is wrong with our county af-
airs, and to modernize the en-
ire system. This cannot be
lone during the session of a Leg
stature. The present Levy Court
Ifter more than three years ex-
,erience ought to be able to draft
law that would be thoroughly +
PRACTICAL and non-partisan and
'resent it completed to the Leg
stature, which body would be :
nore likely to be Influenced by i
he Levy Court than by any semi
'ublic or private body. We offer ]
bis as suggestion. Now is the Q
lme to consider it. This time
ext year will be too late.

A BOYS INVESTIGATIONS.
Figured out Strength of College Ar
mory Trusses, and Found Them
Ample.

The policy of the various scien-
sihc departments at OAC is to
require the graduating thesis of
students to be of the highest pract-
ica1 character. Steam engines,
dynamos. and other appliances are
thus built by boys scarcely out of
their teens.
A new and interesting thesis of
this character has just been handed
in by Mr.. Underwood. 1t is an in
vestigation and computation of the
strength and adequacy of the truss
es in the Armory building. The
strength of each. piece is measured,
the weight it sustains computed,
and the adequacy of the whole for
the part it plays in sustaining the
big building is shown.
Of curious interest in the matter
lis that the results show the build
ing to be perfectly sound and its
strength more than adequate to all
requirements. The information
gained by the young man during
the course of his Investigations is
Of far more utilitarian value than
poring over tthe mysteries of an
cient mythology, dead and for
gotten languages and like require
ments of other lines of education.
Mr.. Underwood conducted his
work in the mechanical department
under Prof. Covel1.

OF THE AGENCY.

Despite the fact that Charles Halter
is no longer deputy high sheriff, still
the air of mystery that surrounds the
unknown causes the public great curio-
sity to learn something about him, who
he was?, who he is? where he came
from? where he is going? All of these
are questions that are being asked re-
garding the new advisor of the police
department.
A possible clue to his identity may be
secured by a perusal of the San Fran
cisco Directory. Whether the man
whose name appears in the san Fran
cisco Directory is the same man who
has done the secret service work for
the governor, are matters Of conjecture
In the San Francisco Directory appears
the following. Halter, Charles " emp

The Governors secret service man
goes by the name of Charles Halter.
The "V' which is the middle initial of
the individual who is namdd in the
San Francisco Directory, does not ap-
pear in the name of the Pinkerton
sleuth. Still it is not unlikely that
Halter would have come from the San
Francisco office. The Pacific Coast
division of the Pinkerton Agency is an
important part of the big detective con-
cern and some big cases have been sue
cessfully handled by the San Francisco
men. On the other hand Halter may

Col. Curtis p. Iaukea, Democratic
candidate for representative to Con-

to the right to talk to the inhabitants
of the leper settlement on Molokai with

Early this afternoon he filed a protest
with the Federal Court against the or

the settlement in refusing him per-
mission to land and hold a meeting.

Wherever Halter is from however, he
appears to have succeeded In getting
around with the boys" He drank
with "the boys" and claims to have

story going the rounds today is to the
effect that Halter went to Iwilei on one
Sunday and there found a crowd of
men and women drinking in a saloon
He suggested taking a snap shot of the
bunch. They assented and Halter i'm
mediately had a picture taken of the
crowd. Then he said he wanted to be
in with the crowd and he caused
second picture with himself in the midst
of the jewellers, to be taken. Whether
there is any truth in this rumor how
ever, can probably best be told by the
Governor or Halter as Halter undoubt-
edly handed the governors go-between
the pictures to be given for the gov
ernor's inspection, provided of course
any such pictures were taken.
Another story that is going the
rounds is that Halter succeeded in get
ting arrested as a drunk and spending
a few days in jail. In fact If half the
stories that are being discussed are
true Halter spent a lively couple of
months here. He applied at one place
for a job as barkeeper and was nego-

RADIUM PLANTATIONS
ocieAtist Thinlns the Wonderful Sub. stance Can Be Used to Cure
 Pulmonary TubeYoulosis.

Frederick Eoddy, who was Prof. Ruth- eYford. assistant at McGill university, In Montreal, has suggested another use for radium. He argues that as 1t has been found to cure consumption of the skin (lupus). 1t should also cure con- sumption of the lungs, if Its rays can bs brought to bear directly on the diseased lung tissue. without any intervening substances. such as the chest wall. At first sight, says the Scientific American, this seems rather difficult thing to do, as 1t Is, of course, out of the question to place any solid mass of radium within the lungs themselves. But recent stud les have shown that radium in solution gives of gas and that this gas is itself radioactive. So all that is necessary to subject the internal lung tissue to the direct action of radium rays Is to breathe a mixture of air and the radium gas. By this means MT. Soddy believes new and valuable remedy for consumption will be available to the pathologist. The rays from radium have already proved use- full in the treatment of several forms of skin disease, and 1t has been suggested that the insertion of minute particles of radium in the interior of cancer Is worth trying. It should be remembered, however, that even if radium proves val uable in the treatment of pulmonary tu- berculosis, its cost Is so high-several hundred dollars a grain-that 1t could not come into general use under present conditions
