FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL IA. 1905.

IS THE Gazette of April 5 there was
published an article prepared by Mr.
John 5. Eggleston, the assistant to the
attorney general of Virginia. A close
reading of the article and comparing II
with the constitutional requirements VIII
disclose the reason for the payment in
certain cases of taxes for 1902, as well
as 10000. Persons who registered
prior 10 January 1904 werein measure
in A class by themselves, and persons
who registered since January ], 1904,
under Mr. Eggleslon's construction
Chose who registered last May for in
slance) and were tWentY-four years OF
age should have been made topay taxes
for 1901 -O2 as we'll as 1908, at least this
appears so for Mr.. Eggleston says to
register now one must pay l9O2-OS-O4
taxes and he appears to have warrant for
bis statement for section, 20 Article LIST
of constitution SAYS, referring to reglstra-
ton:
Chat he has personally paid all State
taxes assessed or assessable against him
under this or the former constitution,
for the three years next preceding that
in which he offers to register" Now
as it is held that the capitatiOn tax OF
former years of 81 is, or was, called a
polI tax, then to register last year, or to
register this provided a person is -
years old, requires a payment of taxes
under the old law. The distinction is
shown by section 81 of the constitution,
whereas a prerequisite to vote one has 10
nav all taxes assessed or assessable
against him under this not the former
constitution for three years next proceed
ing &c. Next year, 1906, taxes under
the former constitution for registration
will not be required, for the plain reason
that the only taxes then asseSable Tor
the preceding years are for l9O3-O4-
O5. all under the new constitution. MIR.
Eggleston says: every man will find the
poll tax requirement governing his case
explained in one of the four sections
in his article. The explanations are
c)incise, but as to new voters 1t
should be settled and at once, what
years are to be paid. A man becoming
of age since February 1904 could not be as
sessed for 1904, but he can be assessed and
pay for 1908, and one becoming of age
since February 1905, cannot be assessed
for 1905, but can pay for 1906 and
register and vOte-at least this appears
to be what is required under the law
as laid down in part first, section twenty,
of the constitution.

The Nam Patterson Casa.

New York, April l4.-A surprise was
sprung by the District Attorneys Office
today during the preliminary fighting in
the trial of Nan Patterson. Judge
Foster, on motion of District Attor-
ney Rand, dismissed the indictments
against Miss Patterson charging con-
spiracy. This was a great surprise 10
everyone including counsel for the ac-
tress.
Mr.. Rand, in explanation of his
action, to the court, stated that after
mature deliberation he regretted the
indictment Of Miss Patterson for this
crime, in view of the fact that an in
dictment for any crime would seriously
injure her at the approaching trial for
murder. The statement OF Mr.. Rand
that he had made mistake is generally
believed to be a clever move on bis part
to preclude the possibility OF the defense
examining the grand jury minutes which
contain certain information that will
prove extremely beneficial to the prose
cution provided it remains secret until
brought out at the trial.
Nan Patterson, her sister, Julia, and
the latter's husband, J. Morgan Smith,
were brought into court from the Tombs
with a dozen other prisoners. Nan Pat
terson's father was in court. Miss Pat
terson had an opportunity tospeak few
words of affection to him. She also
shook hands and exchanged few words
with her sister. After the indictments
against Miss Patterson had been disposed
OF, Lawyer Limburger, counsel for the
Smiths, made motion that the district
attorney be compelled to return letters
and other documents seized from J.
Morgan Smith and wife, in Cincinnati.
The motion was denied. Arguments on
a demurrer to the conspiracy indictments
against the Smiths was taken under
consideration and the pleadings Of the
Smiths, therefore, went over until Mon
day. Lawyer Limburger. in his argu
ment, declared that the mere writing OF
letter to Caesar Young by Julia, to
the effect that Nan, her sister, was about
to become mother, did not constitute
a crime, especially as it was not coupled
with any request for money or assistance
of any kind.

in half-flled bathtub in a fashionable
boarding house in Michigan avenue in
Chicago Yesterday. The body was fully

Frequent threats made by Mrs. LOOMS,
that she intended to kill herself leave no
doubt that the case isone of suicide. Do
nestle trouble is thought to have been
the cause. From papers in the apart

formerly the wife of a citizen OF Denver.
She was divorced from him six years ago.

THE British commission appointed to
investigate the possibilities of cotton
growing in British East Africa reports
that the disinclination of the natives to

the only solution of the difficulty. If
the southern people were allowed to
introduce Chinese labor their lands would
supply cotton for the world.
