HELD FOR MURDER.
ChIorOformed a Woman and Then
Smothered Her to Death.

Asbury Park, N. J., Dec. 16--E'rank
Perdoni, the Italian fruit vender, was
committed to jail this afternoon by di-
rection of the prosecutor, charged with
the murder of Mrs. Morris Mattel who
as the commitment states, he first chlor-
Oformed and then smOthered to death.
Howard Morris. son of William II. Nor
ris, a well known Asbury Park billposter
and theatrical manager, was also com
mitted as an accessory before the fact
edge of the plet to rob hrs, Mattel
which he failed to disclose to IN pO-
lice.
1t was stated by one Of the detectives
that Perdoni after an all days expert
ence with the third degree, had broken
down and made a partial confession.
Morris, who is arrested as an access
sorv. turned inforTner against Perdoni,
who, he said, had tried to induce. him, to
iain in a plot to rob Mrs, Mattel of her
Jewels and money. The two are known
to have gone to New York together the
morning after the crime was committed.
It is believed the visit was planned to
dispose of the booty. The detectives say
the evidence against Perdoni Is strong
enough to secure his conviction.

W. W. ASTOR'S WEALTH.

Before he sailed for his English
home the other day William Wal
dorf Astor put his name to a check
for $475, 900, which represented
the taxes on the assessed valuation
of his real estate holdings in New
York for the currentyear This Is
the largest sum received since the
annual collections began, although
all previous records were passed on
that day. The next largest figures
were $40o, 900 from the Vanderbilt
family aud an equal sum from the
New York City Railway Company.
Mr.. Astor's cousin, John Jacob As
tor, only 1850, 1000.
Accepting the amount of tax just
paifi--whieh is ut the rate OF ! z
per cent--as "A basis, it would APP
pear that the assessed valuation OF
William Waldorf Astor's real es-
tate in New York is something
mor,sthan $3l ,00o, 900. Assuming
that he derives 6 per cent there
| from, his annual income from real
estate alone must be about ~, $50,
900. Deducting the amount of the
tax. this would leave $3.50, 900.

VOTE BUYING

Vote buying in Indiana has be
come 50 great Il stencil IN the
public nostriIs chat Governor Dur
bin has felt it his duty to call
public attention to the djsgraceful
practice IN his message to the
Legislature. He states that the
statutes Of Indiana on lhe subject
are farcical, as they impose no
penalty upon the vote buyer He
urges adequate legislation aud
suggests consideration Of advls-
ability Of the Introduction Of vot-
ING machines. He cites that in II
county casting 1000 votes, | POO
voters were regularly listed as pnr-
chasablc and that an assessment of
$l5, 600 was raised from candidates
to control the county Instances
came to his attention wherein
votes for township trustees bought
$25 and $50 each
As far back as thirty years ago,
Indiana became shamefully famous
through "Blocks of Five Dudley, .
who had arranged method of
buying aud voting in 'blocks' of
that number. The defeat of Bryan,
so Thomas w. Lawson has charg-
ed in detail, was secured with five
million dollars that were raised to
bnv the purchasable vote III five
close States
This practice has ceased to he
sectional and there are reports
galore of the lavish use of money
in vote buying q coed ways Sonth
of Masou's and Dixons line.
The legislation and public con
demnation should apply more to
those who furnish the money to
buy the votes and to the vote
buyers, than to the poor devil who
does not know that in selling his
vote he is following the heinons
example of Esau, who sold his
birth-right for "a mess Of pottage.
Every nation has had periods of
shame and corruption growing un-
til the public conscience becoming
aronsed would suddenly call n halt
and period of elevating probity
and patriotism would ensue that
effaced the stain of the former. -

Thousands of men fancy they
are fulfilling their duty to their
employers and to their tasks by
keeping hours and performing
just enough to hold on to their

believe wonld be extra values.
