Identification Said to Spoil a Big
Sharon Sensation.

SHARON, Pa, March o5-An air OF
what might have happened" permeates
the Whitla kidnapping case in this city
and vicinity today. Yesterday and last
night sensational disclosures were eX-
pec:ed to occur in Cleveland. It IS appar-
ent today, however, that none of these
anticipated developments is going to
materialiZe. Therefore Sharon is rapidly
approaching the normal tenor of its way
The kidnapping case was exciting, but
the developments limited at yesterday

The woman under arrest in the case is

panied Boyle to this city recently for the
purpose of attending me funeral OF john

Tire legal points OF the case are occu-
pying the attention of the detectives and
attorneys today. One claim is made that
the woman cannot be brought back to
Pennsylvania TO answer TO a charge of
kidnapping. as. it is said, she was not In
the state when the commission of the
crime occurred. The man Will be brought
to Mercer county and tried for abduc
ton. The woman, it is said, can be tried
FOR conspiracy and used as a witness
against the man.
1t is admitted that the legal end of the
case is complicated. but what can or can
not be done will not be known until sew
eral points of law are hooked up.
Who Will Get Reward.
There is d reward Of S15.0o0 from the
state of Pennsylvania for the eaptors of
the abductors and several Thousand dol
lars additional from newspapers about
the country. The question as TO who is
entitled to the reward interests a large
number of people. When Detective Per-
kins Of Pittsburg, whose agency has been

necessity for revision OF the present
tariff is apparent to all: that the present
revenues are not sufficient to support the
government, and that the taxes levied
under the Dingley bill are out of adjust
ment with the present needs Of the bust
ness interests of the country He said
that they are I'm many instances prohibit
tive to such an extent that they not only
do not produce revenue, but are a di-
rect injury to the great productive inter-
ests Of the nation.
The true issue between the two great
parties in the preparation of tariff bill,
said Mr.. Underwood. is that one desires
10 write protective tariff that leans to-
ward prohibition of imports and the other
a revenue tariff that favors fair COMPETE
ton.
Although we occa sionally find a free
trader within the ranks of the democratic
party" he said. the great rank and tlle
OF the party do not favor the doctrines of
free trade, The republican party favors a
tariff that will raise some revenue to
support the government. but at the same
time will prohibit the importation of as
much foreign merchandise from coming
into the country as Is possible and raise
revenue at all. If there was q more gen.
eral understanding that the tariff is tax

Three Ways to Avoid Deficit.

Mr.. Underwood proposed three ways In
which to avoid the deficit-either by re-
ducins expenditures. by levying taxes ad-
di;ional to those now imposed on the peo-
pie. or by reducing 1.-The present prohibit
tive duties of the Dingley bill to a COM
petitive basis. where they will prouuce
sufficient revenue to meet the demands Of
the Treasury" He gave many figures to
support his contention that the Dingley
tariff is a prohfbitive bill

moral and intellectual awakening and social Renais-
which is sweeping the country.
The moral alertness and responsibility has shown
itself than in the last decade not only in the

This great revival must be kept up. The fate of the
nation swings upon morality and patriotism.
1t is for the rising generation to be inspired with
ardent love for its country an unquenchabe thirst

Men who have opinions and will,
Men who can legislate and dare not lie.

when the operation took place the
attending surgeon discovered that the
patient had been previously relieved
of his appendix.
The doctor endeavored to retract
his steps, but the strange man died

COSTS $1O,OOO,OOO A DAY
Tariff Tinkering Opposed by Merch-
ants and Manufacturers.

Two hundred and twenty-six com.
mercial organizations, representing q
membership of several hundred thou.
sand merchants, manufacturers and
business men OF various lints throug1
out the country, have joined in a Wig
orous movement to stop the present
tariff agitation and provide for a
board of experts to study the whole
question and revise the schedules in
the light of their researches.
Prominent individual business men
are supporting the movtment, which
has grown out of the national con-
vention for a tariff commission held
In Indianapolis on February 16, II
and IS.
Some of those who are interested
in the subject estimate that about
SO, 100000 a day is lost to mer-
chants and manufacturers by the
pickering in congress and what they
call the grasping selfishness of over
protected interests.
Among the organizations that have
recently gone on record against the
continuance of tariff agitation are
the Merchants association. the New
York Board of Trade and Transporta-
ton, the Manufacturers Association
of New York and the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers The cham
Der of commerce will probably de-
mand the immediate creation of a
competent tariff commission.
The protest is taking form in dele
cations to Washington, many of
whom are at work there now, and in
kilograms and letters to President
Taft and StnatOrs Aldrich, Root and
Depew. Thousands of letters and tel
egrams have already been sent to
these officials, and an endless chain,
started by one of the largest COM
mercial organizations, will probably
greatly increase the total before the
week is out-New York Times.
