TX TO
Bt SUBMITTED
TO Be either Submitted at Special or
Next Regular Session Of the
Legislature.

Charleston. w. Va. Sept, T.
One Of the important questions to
come before the next session OF the
legislator. whether extra or regular,
will be the income tax amendment to
the Federal Constitution. submitted
by the recent extra session Of con-
gress. The "Joint Resolution Propos-
ing an Amendment to the Constitution
of the United States" was passed by
congress upon the recommendation OF
President Taft, and will become eff
fective whenever the legislatures of
three-fourths OF the several states
ratify 1t.
The joint resolution has been duly
certified to Governor Glasscock by
Secretary of State P. G. Knox, and the
governor will bring II TO the attention
Of the next legislature. Governor
Glasscock will not oppose the amend
ment, but, on the other hand, 1t is ex.
pected that he will favor its ratifica-
ton. Aside from those directly affect
ed by an income tax, there Is but one
ground on which the amendment
would be opposed In West Virginia.
The present state administration be.
lieves that this state should have TAX
en- steps to get the benefit OF such
a tax rather than let the Federal gov
eminent have the money. The state
might need the money and while there
Is somewhat OF a telling that It should
be collected and disbursed at home,
| the fact that the Federal government
is on the ground first Will prevent any
opposition 10 the amendment from
those quartered in the state house.
They are supporters Of the national
administration policies, and 1t is the
! sentiment here that the amendment
will be ratified by the state.
The proposed amendment is the six
teenth to the Federal Constitution
and the joint resolution. as passed by
congress and certified to the governor
reads:
Resolved, BY the Senate and House
of Representatives of THE United
States Of America, in congress assem-
bled, two-thirds OF each house concur
ring therein, That the following article
is proposed as an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States
which, when ratified by the legisla
lures of three-fourths o. the severa
states, shall be valid to all intents ant
purposes as a part of the Constitu
ton:
Article XVI. The congress shall
have power to lay and collect taxes OF
incomes, from whatever source de
rived, without apportionment amonI
the several states, and without regar'
to any census or enumeration"

whittier the trail led. The results OF
his persistent quest were as follows
In the year 1894 three young men
set sail for America. They were John
Nolin, young machinist, John Row
an, mechanic, and John Merna, a
mechanic. They arrived in New York
and on May IT, 1894, Merna declared
his intention of becoming citizen
Of the United States, took out his first
papers and gave his residence as No.
Al Peck slip. New York. Nolin went
to Philadelphia.
The four Johns. after spending a
few days In Philadelphia, went to New
York. They stopped at the lodging
house of John NJ Kerr, As Peck slip,
and hung about New York until De-
cember, 1899, when Rowan returned
to Ireland, and went to work at his
trade in Dublin. Nolin and Walsh app
piled to the South Brooklyn branch of
the Amalgamated Society of Machin-
lists for donation money, which
amounts to So per week for those out
of work. aud the request was complied
of the society, who worked in the
Pioneer Machine works in Brooklyn.
In the latter part of this month Nolin.
Walsh and Merna went to Washing
ton, ID. c. Nolin remained there a
short time and then went on to Rich
mond, Va. where he obtained job as
filter in foundry
On Christmas day, 1899, Merna
went to work as bartender in a Wash
ington saloon, at PIP Ninth street, of
which Joseph McEnerney was pro-
prietor. and on January Walsh was
given similar position in the same
saloon. They relieved each other at
the bar and shared room together
over the saloon. They worked as bar
tenders for McEnerney through Janu-
airy and February and along into
March, while Nolin stayed on In the
Richmond foundry. Early in March
Karl Dallman had registered at the
Stafford house. in Buffalo, and had
then gone away.
On Monday evening. March ~. Mer-
ma was foux dead in his room over
the saloon.EA
Somewhere about April 10, 1900,
Nolin received a communication from
a lodge to which he belonged. known
in secret circles as the Napier Tandy
club. 1t was a Cian-na-Gael organi-
cation and the members met at Tom

against Sullivan and fought through

wing. The Identification was made
absolute and final. Men who knew

career convinced the Canadian gov
eminent that Dallman and Dillon were
one. Originally Dillon was a shoema-
ker. In 1881 he was working at his
trade at 639 Paul street. Philadelphia.
The members of the dynamite trio
were brought up for trial on May 25,
1900. With the mass of damning evil
dence accumulated by Murray's pa
tent efforts and submitted to the
court, there could be but one result.
AS the clock struck six on the even
ing of May 26, the jury retired to con-
slider the verdict. Four minutes later
they re-entered court and the three
prisoners were declared guilty. The
dynamiters were sentenced to impris-
onment for life and taken to Kingston
penitentiary.
For two years after the trio entered
upon their prison life the general pub
lie knew nothing of the identity of
Karl Dallman. Then a Buffalo paper
made known the fact, telling of his
connection with the Cronin affair. The
story was denied by some of Dillon's
friends, who asserted that he had
been killed during the South African
war while fighting with the Boer ar
my against the British. But the real.
grim truth is that the once famous
leader OF the Clan-na-Gael is buried
alive within the walls of Kingston pen

in Richmond, were to go to Washing

to Philadelphia, where, at the Phila-

up and accosted them. Their replies
being satisfactory the stranger said:

engaged them in earnest conversation
At the conclusion of their talk the
stout man handed 500 to Nolin. with
two railroad tickets and sleeping car
coupons from Philadelphia to Buffalo,

Moore of Washington They were as
signed to room IS, and Immediately
ordered up drinks. While waiting for
the refreshments there was a knock
at the door, and Dallman stepped into
the apartment. He introduced himself
and satisfactory understanding was
reached between the trio. Dallman told
them to prepare for an early start next
day, and after breakfast on the follow
ing morning, April is, he gave to No
lin and Walsh two canvas grips, or
telescopes
In each of these grips were about
so pounds of dynamite, mixed to the
