CASE CLOSED FOR THE OHIO AUTHORITIES

Cleveland, O., March 27.-Wfth
jeers ringing in their ears, James F.
Boyle and his wife, arrested here as
the kidnapers of little Willie Whitla
of Sharon, Pa, accompanied by the
police, boarded the train just before
it left at 6:25 tonight fol. Mercer, Pa.
This practically closes the case as
far as Cleveland" is concerned, as
further action will be taken by the
Pennsylvania authorities. However,
the Cleveland police have a club
over the heads of the Boyles, in a
joint Indictment returned today,
charging James P. Boyle and Helen
Boyle, alias Faulkner, with black
mail This charged is based on the
payment of $4,000 ransom by J. P.
jWhitla for the recovery Of his son
Willie here last Monday. This in
dictment will BE- used by the local
officials in the event that the case
in ngPennsylvania fails Of conviction.
Sheriff William 6, Chase of Mercer
county,, Pa, and Chief Of Police
Crane OF Sharon arrived today and
Immediately originated proceedings
for the return Of the prisoners.
The Cuyahoga county officials
waived their rights to the Boyles,
and, the latter informed Chief Kohler
that they would not fight extradf-
ton to the Keystone state.
A few minutes before the Erie
train left the station the couple was
hurried from the central police sta
ton to the depot in patrol wagon.
A squad of patrolmen had been sent
in advance to prevent a crush, but
as the prisoners alighted from the
wagon a great throng surged about
them, and it was with difficulty that
a path was cleared to the cars. AS
Boyle and his wife, each accompa-
MED by two patrolmen, walked
through the train shed, the crowd
greeted them with boots and jeers.
That Mrs. Boyle had nothing to do
with the actual kidnapping of Willie
Whitla was the statement made to-
day by the woman and her husband.
Police Prosecutor Daniel Gull was in
conversation with Boyle, and the lat
ter said that although he expected
to be "railroaded," when tried in
Pennsylvania, there is absolutely no
way to connect his wife with any
offense committed in that state. He

Government Is Experiment: ri
r. ing to Find a Method Of
Preventing Destruction Of
Wood ':

Washington, March 25-Piles driv-
en- by the hut dwellers of the Bal
tic centuries ago are as sound today
as when first placed. The wooden
coffins in which the Egyptians bur-
led their dead are still preserved in
perfect condition after thousands Of
years of service.
The longevity of timber under these
two extremes of climate and mois-
ture conditions has naturally made
people ask, What causes wood decay?
The answer is, fungi and bacteria,
low forms of plant life which live
in the wood and draw their nour-
ishment from it. The little organ
isms are so little that q microscope
is required to see them. yet their
work results in the destruction of
billions Of feet Of timber each year
and the railroad corporation with it's
cross tie bill running up into seven
figures and the farmer who spends
a hundred or so dollars q year for
fence posts are alike drawing upon
the knowledge Of experts in all parts
of the world In efforts to learn the
most economical and most satisfac-
tory method Of preserving wood
against the inroads of decay. In
st,ldying the means of preventing de-
cay wood-preserving experts have
learned many things about the OBJ
noxious fungi which sap the life of
timber. H. .sSs@.
The small organisms can grow
either in light or In total darkness;
but all OF them require requisite
amounts OF air, food, moisture and
heat. If one or more Of these es-
sential requirements is lacking. they
can not live, and the decay of tim
ber will not take place. Wood con-
stantly submerged IN water never
rots, simply because there Is an In
snficient supply Of air. This condi-
tion accounts for the soundness OF
the old Baltic piles. On. the other
hand. II wood can be kept air-dry
it will not decay because there will
then be too little moisture. The

Of Payne Bill
VIII Debate From 10 to 5
and { TO II Until Vote
IS Taken

Washington, D. c., March 25.-
A voluntary admission by Mr.. Vree-
land of New York, that he was to
some extent responsible for the re-
tention :5of the countervailing duty
on oil in the Payne tariff bill, was
the climax of the days discussion of
the tariff in the house today.
Mr.. Vreeland had sat for some time
and heard various insinuations that
that duty, which some have charac-
terized as a "joker," was to be levied
solely in the interest of the Standard
Oil company. This he denied, and
explained that his action was In re-
sponse to requests Of thousands of
his oil producing constituents and in
behalf OF five hundred thousand 9TH
ers engaged in the same business.
The debate on the oil schedule called
forth some bitter criticism Of the
Standard Oil company by Mr.. Kus-
termann of Wisconsin and others.
In the course of the day numerous
speeches were made touching the
tariff question in general and many
of the schedules in particular. The
arguments from the Democratic
standpoint were for a tariff for rev.
enue only while the Republicans who
spoke attacked such schedules as
those on wool, wood pulp and print
paper and crude petroleum.
At 6:05 p. m. the house adjourned
until tomorrow, when. according to
general understanding, a decision
was reached to meet there after 10
o'clock and remain in session until
5 p. M, at which time the recess
will be taken until Sp. m, and the
debate continue for three hours

WASHINGTON, D. G. March 25-
Weary Of the gay whirl Of society and
face to face, as she believed, with
years OF physical suffering, Mrs
Lorillard, & Jr., aged 40, wife Of the
tobacco magnate, committed suicide
by asphyxtation at her home near the
fashionable Dupont circles in this
city today. -.
Her tragic death has shocked the
first social circles of the capital as
nothing else in years. Tonight the
members Of the Lorillard family, ia
nous because OF it's wealth, are gath
ering here to mourn over the unex-
pected blow. In spite of the coron-
er's certificate of death by suicide,
members of the family declare that
Mrs. Lorillard died Of heart failure.
The death wasfmade more dramatic
by occurring only a*few hours AFTER
MI. and Mrs. Lorillard had been the
guests of Mrs. Townsend, on Massa-
chusetts avenue, at a dinner given In
honor Of Lady Paget. In fact it Is
believed that as soon as Mrs. Loril-
lard arrived at her home at 2o3O Hill
yer Place, after midnight this morn
ing, she began to prepare fors her
death, i. ~
y About s: 30 o'clock this morning the
butler in the. Lorilllard residence de-
tected an odor of gas permeating the
rooms. With little difficulty the orig
in of the fumes was traced to Mrs.
Lorillard's - apartments. Opening
the door of the room, just of her
suite, the butler was horrified to be-
hold the body of the mistress of the
house stretched out lifeless on the
floor. The face was turned to the mat
on the floor. =, " :" - ~.~'
i The alarm was given by the butler
which brought Mr.. Lorillard from his
apartments across the hall. Together
they carried the body, Of Mrs. Loril-
lard to her room. The servanta was
dispatched for q doctor, while Mr. n
Lorillard attempted to revive his

TO the Associated Press Mrs. Boyle

Cleveland, and that she had nothing

Mrs. Boyle apparently was in good

his Indifferent manner, having little
to say.
Pittsburgh, Pa, March 25.-Fear-
ing for the safety of their prisoners
if they were taken to Sharon or the
county seat at Mercer, officers to-
night brought James P. Boyle and
his wife, accused of kidnapping Willie
Whitla, to the Allegheny county
Jail here. The prisoners were guard
ed in the car by six detectives and
officers.
The car was kept securely locked
and no one was granted admission to
the car: except an Associated Press
correspondent and a few other news
paper men. It was the unanimous
opinion of the officers that it would
be safer not to take any chances by
exposing their prisoners to the wrath
OF the Sharon people. SS<jT-:>$ s5F5se sss n,
On the arrival of the train here the
prisoners we're placed in an automo-
bile and rushed to the county Jail.
Boyle was mancled and guarded by
two detectives, but the woman was
allowed to walk quietly behind an Of
ficer Mrs. Boyle chatted quite free
ly with the officers and seemed to be
in a happy frame of mind.
The arrival of the chief partici-
pants in the celebrated kidnapping
case was not generally expected here,
and only a small crowd was at the
station when the train drew in. How
ever, the news spread rapidly and
quite a crowd surrounded the auto
, mobile before it left the depot.
