WOMAN KlDNAPER TO
Be FREED, is REPORT
WhitIa Boys Mother is Said Not to
:. Desire Mrs. BoyIe's Prose-
cuton.

Mercer, Pa, Mar. 30.-The prelim.
inary hearing and safe return to the
Mercer jail of James H. Boyle and the
rumor that his woman companion may
entirely escape prison and soon re-
gain her liberty were the. develop
ments of yesterday in the Whitla kid
mapping case.
No one but James Boyle had any
fears for his safety when he was taken
to Sharon for: his arraignment, but he
was terribly frightened. Quivering with
fear from head to foot and nervously
begging the officers for protection, he
faced crowd of hundreds of persons
attracted merely by curiosity and is
happier in his cell to-day than he has
ben since his arrest.
The opinion is spreading among the
people of this county that Mrs. Boyle
will not be prosecuted, but that she
will very soon be entirely eliminated
from the case and be allowed to de.
part. There is said to be no local
proof whatever to connect her with
the abduction, and as she absolutely
refuses to aid the local authorities in
the least, the superstition is that she
will soon be free. This is borne out
by the delay in arraigning her.
It. is said her prosecution ,is not
eagerly. desired by Mrs. Whitla, whose
wishes are likely to be respected.
It required but a few minutes for
the preliminary hearing of Boyle.
Bail was fixed at $4,000, which 1t is
said Boyle has no chance Of giving,
and, the prisoner was returned to the
Jail at Mercer on the first train.

PROHIBITION FOR ICELAND.

Twenty-Five years Of Good Templar
work has secured for Iceland prohi-
bitory law. With parliament OF its
own, 1t In 1900 prohibited 'breweries
and distilleries, and the warfare Of
recent years has been against impor-
tation and sale. AT the request OF
the Grand Lodge OF Good Templars,
q bill was introduced Into the Althing
TO prohibit absolutely the importation
and sale OF alcohol beverages, and
committee was appointed by the gov
ernment To take evidence and consider
the matter. The report of this COM
mission was favorable TO the bill but
it was decided that vote of the peo-
pie should be taken before the meas
ure should become law.
The men of Iceland rallied nobly to
their opportunity and short time
since. when the election was held.
prohibition won by a decisive majori-
ty, the vote standing 4,645 to 3,1S1.
All hail TO Icelandl What a splendid
achievement worked out by those in
ner processes that tell for true patrio-
tism and Christian citizenship. No
orators from abroad, no blare OF brass
bands. no advertising campaigns
nothing but the concentration of the
ballot box Of twenty-five years growth
in clean morals, yirlle manhood and
good citizenship.
In January the grand lodge of Good
Templars of Iceland called for gen.
eral observance Of the 25th anniver-
sary of the establishment of the Or
der in the island and a great festival
resulted The Bishop OF Iceland sup
ported the use OF the state churches
and the TIE Deum was sung all over
the island, double cause for rejoic-
ing filling the hearts of the sturdy
band of temperance workers who have
been the means Of making Iceland
prohibition territory.
The session of the Althing soon to
be held is bound to carry out the eX-
pressed will OF the people, and Iceland
will henceforth be prohibition terri
tory.
