There will be no strike IN the anthra-

laud grand jury Is todsy expected to
hand down indictments for extortion
and blsckmail against James II. Boyle
and his wife, Helen, identified yester-
dsy as the kiduappers Of Billy Whitla.
Legal action is now all that remains OF
the famous case.
So strong is the chsin OF evidence
about the prisoners that the police made
no attempt to record what occurred yes
terday afternoon, at the headquarters
when Billy and his friends Srrived from
Sharon.
Il is expected that extrsdition papers
will be secured aud the couple sent to
Mercer county before the end OF the
week.
It was learned today that Marie
Deimer, a woman Of about so, who died
last evening at the hospital, had been
arrested during the afternoon in con-
nection with the kidnapping case. Her
dlath WAS due to morphine poisoning,
and the police believe she committed
suicide In fear OF the disgrace. They
said they only wanted her IS witness.

papers ere being made out here today
for both Boyle and his wife, aud will be
sent to Harrisburg this afternoon.

sented this afternoon to be taken to Sharou

Castro.

Paris, March 25 Despite the defiant
attitude OF former President Castro Of
Venezuela, intimates of the deposed
ruler declare today that he has no idea
OF actually returning to Venezuela. 1t
Is believed that Castro will remain as
near to Venezuela as deemed wise, pos
slbly at Martinique or Trinidad, and
there establish himself aud conduct his
still extensive business Interests In
Venezuela. The wealth of Castro has
been greatly over estlmated. He still
hiss large interests 10 Venezuela. It is
known that his funds in Europe are
reaching low ebb aud would not long
maintain him aud his suite on the present
magnificent scale. From Trinidad he
could manage bis remaining property In
such q way IS TO permit him to continue
to play the role of an eccentric spend
thrift. Castro will leave Paris this
evening for Bordeaux, where he will
embark on the Gusdeloupe.

THURSDAY EVENING, MAR. IS. 1909.

By the opinion rendered yesHroay !"
the case Of TiIton ct ais. vs.. Herman,
treasurer of Norfolk, the Court of APP
pesIs settles the question as to what con-
stitutes q personal payment of poll taxes
within the meaning Of article III. oil the
now coustitution. In other words, II
answers the question Does the use Of
the words personally psid," as used 10
section q of article H., where the right
If franchise lie dealt With, mean that 10
order 10 entitle a citizen to register and
vote be must 10 person, 10 bodily pres
,pce. psy the required poll tax as con-
dition precedent to registering or votlng7
Alter going fully into the history OF the
causes leading up to the action OF the
fysmers Of the constitution, the court
holds that the tax need not be paid IN
nsrsop. The essence Of the cons'ltu'
tIonal requirement, In the opinion Of Inc
81
court Is that the lax must be paid out Of
the citizens money, and not out of the
money of anybody else. Judge Gard
we'll. who wrote the opinion, says;
Within this limitation the constltu
,;onsl requirement would be met In the
INSTANCES we have adyerted to, and also
wbsre the tax is paid with the ci'i'
geu,s money sent to the treasury ooy a
member of his family, by bis CLERK OF
other duly authorized agent, and per
hans there are other ways 10 which the
money could be paid to the tressOr'
which would Justify Snd require hirn 70
inclnde the name of the taxpayer 10 the
Iist he IL required to certify to the aaoi,
tor of public accounts and to the ciefK u
his county or corporation.
The court holds that the object Oh tne
law is evidently to prohibit the whole,
sale payment of taxes by politicians anO
Others who might desire to control Toe
votes of a number of people, but the de-
cision will certainly not prevent sn'n
practices.
Judge Martin. of the Court OF Law
and Ohspcery Of Norfolk, who rendered
the lower decision on the poll lax cast
reviewed by the Court Of APPtals yesIer'
day, says that that body did not reverse
him, bat rather reversed ITSELF h's
opinion having been largely based upon
argument snd quotations used In a pre-
vious opinion by the Court OF Appeals

DURING his speech presenting the
new tariff bill In the House on Tuesday
Mr.. Payne became very angry when
asked 10 good faith by democratic
member, Mr.. Garrett, If taking the bill
ss a whole it was not 'reviSion up
ward?' 1.-THE gentleman has no right
to say that" Mr.. Payne sharply an
uounced. at is not fair to say that IS
an honorable man." With a good deal
of emphasis he declared that, taken as
whole. the revision was downward and
that sny intelligent man conld under
stand by reading the bill its general
trend, and be charged that the idea Of
intsrpolsting such remsrk as that made
by Mr.. Garrett was mot fair to me, to
the committee nor TO the country"
When MI CLARK, the democratic floor
leader, replied to Mr.. Payne yesterday
he called attention to the colioquy OF
Tuesday between Mr.. Payne and Mr..
Garrett; he read some comparisons be-
tween the Dipgley and Payne bill pre-
pared by a government expert In the
committee. Tbese, he sad, showed that
the average rate Of the Diogley bill was
44.16 per cent, while under the Payne
bill they we're 1872 per cent, "sho sing
1855 per cent worse than the Dingley
bill" He declared that no man OF bad
iemper or buster could conceal that fact
from the American people. Many of
the reductions in the bill, be maintained,
were more apparent than real. The
game Of the republican leaders for yesrs
has been bluster and btowbeatiDg aud

rt astribed to him 10 connection with
the proposed income tax bill, Mr..
Stevens, today arose In the House to q
question CT privilege, to declare that

active IS a member of the ways and
means committee in the tariff investiga-
ton, talked to the House about the
Payne bill today. He said II there was
more general understanding that the
tariff Is a tax in which private Interests
share the proceeds with the govern
meut, there would be a more rigorous
questioning OF the various duties i'm
posed by Congress than has yet been
manifest. He declared, however, that
II the democrats had full opportunity

tariff for revenue only, be believed the
, minority would vote for 1t.
