IDENTIFICATION
 OF KIDNAPPERS
 NOW COMPLETE
(continued From First PageA

(Continued From First Page1 being the case she is not within the Jurisdiction of Mercer County"
 Because of this fact it is thought that many legal complications will arise for many witnesses from Ohio and Pennsylvania will have to be call ed for each trial necessitating a con- stant series of negotiations between the two states. Also 1t is stated to-day that a desperate attempt will be made to prove that the woman is not the wife of Boyle.
 Billy Whitla and Janitor Wesley c. Sloss of the East Ward School to-day made dispositions concerning the kid mapping.
 Cleveland, March 25.-A joint indict- ment was returned against MT. and Mrs. James H. Boyle for bIackmail. It is based upon a letter written on March 22 to James Whitla, the last message from the kidnappers.
 The Boyles consented this afternoon to be taken to Sharon for preliminary hearing without extradition papers. It is doubtful whether the authorities ted no crime in Pennsylvania. The penalty for blacFmail is five years and $1, 900 fine. The penalty for kidnap- ping in Pennsylvania is life imprison- ment. Attorney Whitla checked off the ransom money with Detective Wood today to compare the serial numbers of the bills. The ransom will be returned to him.

WALSH SEEKS
 DAMAGES OF $3,OOO

False imprisonment is the charge that George S. Walsh of New York brings against Louis Udelman of
 South Norwalk. He asks for $3000 damages. The suit was aired before Judge Edwin B. Gager in the Superior Court this morning. Walsh as prop rietor of the Anglo-American Parquet Co.,, is alleged to have entered into a contract to put down parQuet flooring in the home of the defendant, for the sum of $325. In August Walsh sent three men to do the work and accord ing to his testimony they put floors in the closets of the home, which was not in the contract, over which there is another suit pending. The men be- came dissatisfied over their wages and put liens on the property and Udelman was garnisheed for the money due on the work. He sent a letter to Walsh i nNew York, who hurried to South Norwalk. Udelman was angry and wanted to know why Walsh did not pay his men. A policeman then serv- ed the attachments on Walsh as he was about to take a train for his home and placed him under arrest. The plaintiff claims that he was detained some time in the police station before the officer discovered that it was civil matter and allowed him to go. For this reason Walsh brings the ac- tion for his false Imprisonment which he claims was due to Udelman.

 (SpeciaI from Unit ed Pressl

Washington, March 25.-If the deficit in the United States Treasury does not reach S12O 0O0, GOO by the beginning of the next fiscal year, July 1, Uncle Sam's account officers will be very much surprised. President Taft plac- ed the threatened deficit at $20 000, GOO less than that of the last one which is well inside the lines, when he gave the condition of the national finances as a reason for calling Congress in extra session for a revision of the tariff.
 The deficit today is over sS9.534, GOO and the expenditures are exceeding the receipts by a daily average of over half a million dollars. This is not providing for the payment of the war rants for the many millions of dollars which the last Congress appropria ted. There will be in the neighborhood of S10 O00 900 to pay out within few

 FOR FIRES HERE

This month promises to be a record breaker in the fire department. In the 9 days which have elapsed there have been 37 calls for the department, 26 of these were bell alarms and Il of them were by telephone. The record shows an increase in bell alarms over other busy months and a falling off in the number of still alarms. All of the fires have been confined to the building where they started and in the most cases to the room where they origi- mated.

Women who have been to see that collection are surprised at the real beauty of most of the hats it contains. There are some extreme styles. There have to be some. But the great
