ATTACKED BY A MOB.

While being taken from the Mercer
county, Pa, courthouse back to jail yes
terday evening by deputy sherifis, Mrs.
Helen Boyle WAS attacked by mob Of
prebaps 1000 people, mostly women.
1t was only by great efforts on the
part of the sheriff, business men, and
several others that the mob was prevent
ed from doing bodily harm to the woman
who is charged with having kidnapped
Willie Whita, aud Who was placed on
trial IN Mercer yesterday afternoon.
James II. Boyle, her alleged husband,
bad been convicted Of the kidnapping
earlier 10 the day and he was being
taken from the courthouse 10 the jail
with the woman when the denomination
occurred. The mob had gathered for
some hours in front OF the old school
house which ia doing duty as a court
house, and when the woman appeared
In the custody of Deputy Sheriff Stuart
q rush was made for her, principally By
the women.
"There she is-the hussy--lets get
her aud hang her; we don't need any
jury" screamed big woman, who seem
leader.
"Look out. Don't come near or III
make you climb tree" said Mrs. Boyle
qnietly as she took a stand. Why don't
you go home and wash your iare?" she
asked.
The mob sEarmed around the woman
with loud cries, and 1t was only Nth the
greatest difficulty that Stuart, aided by
several men, including Rev. j. s. Duu-
can, of the First Presby terian Church
Of Mercer, could work his way through
aud start on the six-square walk to the
jail. The women we're most bitter.
Some of them shouted:
Get rope aud let's fix the kid
usppeIW
Mrs. Boyle flung back defiance only
aud told some of those near her that if
she we're turned loose by the officers she
would "chsse you all, two at time"
Sheriff William Chess, who had charge
OF Boyle, did not tarry 10 the mob. He
seemed to be Of the opinion that there
might be in the mOb's noise a plot con-
cealed TO liberste Boyle, so he hurried
him along bandcufed, and with his
hand always on the butt of his revolver.

TEE City School Board met in the
Gazette Office last night, the electric
lights not having been placed in the
new school building on Prince street.
When this shall have been done the
hoard will hold its monthly meetings 10
that building. The assembling of the
hoard in the Gazette Office brings to mind
scenes of by-gone years. During the
civil war the old Lancasterian school
house. on the site Of the present Wash
iogton school building, was the quarters
for msnumitted negroes, or "contra-
bands" as they were then called, and
IN 1864 a mau named Westcott, from
New York, ran for mayor of the city
against O. A. Ware. One Of the planks
ia WestcotPs platform was q protest
against q school which had been iusti-
tuted by George Washington being
closed and the building used for such
base purposes. At the close Of the war
the only asset of the school board was
tbs old Lancasterisn building, and the
board. among whom WAS Rev. Father
Oarpe Rev. J. I. Leftwich. pastor Of
the Second Presbyterian Church, and
Messrs. n. Boush and Edgar Snowden,

SENATE.

TIE orator of toe day in the Sensts
was Mr.. OIspp (rep. Minu.) His sTgu-
menI WAS deVoeG to the urgent need,
from every standpoint, of revision OF
tue tariff downward 90 far IS 1t is con-
sislenI with reason able protection. Mr..
Olapp said hal In the tariff discussion
a number of senators had lost sight OF
the distinction between tariff for
revenue aud protective tariff. England
draws more money from the custom
house per capital, be said, than does
the United States but nobody objected
to calling England free trtde county.
a tariff for revenue in the end rested
on the consumer and might properly be
called q tax. He denied that the
amount of the tariff was added to the
cost Of goods in this country and said
that the price of steel-wire nails, cotton
cloth and sslt had been 80 close to the
tariff itself as to preclude the possibility
that the tariff had been added to the
price. As to the suggestion of Senator
Newlands dem. New that the progress
sive republicans and the democrats COM
bine to carry through tariff programme
he said 1t Was impossible. While they
might agree on point here and there
they could not reconcile the conflicting
principles to which they adhere.
Senator Garter declared that tariff Of
cent and halt pound on lead WAS
absolutely necessary to preserve that
great industry in this country. Senator
Owen then interviewed in the debate on
lead with speech in favor of an income
tax. He believed that in the light Of
the information he was about to prese nj
to the Senate the Supreme Court would
reverse the decision of fifteen years ago
declaring an income tax uncOnstitu-

Senator Stone declared that the pro-
posed rate Of one-balf cents per pound
on lead.ore is greater than it ooght to be.
Senator Oulberson asked Chairman

THE DEBT CASE.

Counsel for West Virginia sprung a
surprise on Virgins in the debt liiiga-
ton before Special Master Litileheld In
Richmond yesterday afternoon, the re-
suit being some sharp passages between
opposing counsel The final dscision of
the special master was q victory for
Virginia.
Il was Just after the noon recess, aud
Thomss Bird Dixey, who had made up
the schedule for West Virginia, was on
the stand for TIE purpose Of giving his
evidence in-chief. he was asked by
Senator Carlisle as OF what date he bad
begun the taking OF his accounts. His
answer was march 1928" .Immed-
lately the New York attorney was on
his feet with q motion for a postpone
ment for two months 10 order to allow
reimbursement Of the accounts of the
two states 40 Of a common date, 1t ap-
peariug that the Virginia accountant
began his investigation as OF 1919. The
lawyers for Virginia contended that this
was the year of the inception Of the debt
while those for West Virginia claim that
no proper charge cau be made against
their client prior to 1928.
After hearing extended argument on
both sides the special master decided to
20 on with the hearing, declaring that
ne would not undertake to determine
which state was right on this point, but
tha. he would report the two hypothesis
to the Supreme Court Of the United
States and let that tribunal settle the
question. Counsel for West Virginia
fought hard for their contention, claim
ing that time would be saved by grant
ing the extension.
Major Holmes Conrad, in replying to
Senator Carlisle and Senator Spoouer,
declared that only one schedule was sf'
fected by the difference In dates, and
that as the amount involved was only
about million dollars, his side would
rather give that to West Virginia than
to have further unnecessary delay In the
progress of the case.
Another scrap occurred at the morn
ing session over the introduction OF GER
tain schedules offered in evidence on
the part of Virginia, one of these Of
tered being admitted and the other re-
jected.
Mr.. Taylor, who made digest Of
the laws and acts of the general IS
sembIy, brought out the interesting fact
that members from what is now West
Virginia advocated and supported in
every way the improvements and expend-
itures for which bond were issued.
Counsel for West Virginia made vigor-
Gus objections to the admission Of this
, evidence. They asked for the produc
ton of the original acts under which
the Improvements were made. '1i
these digests and the summary of the
acts OF the general assembly are not
admitted" said Msjor Anderson, eve
will be called upon to have the acts
printed in their entirety and pat on
record. The expenses OF this will be
enormous, and the state Of West Vir'
GINA will be put to the additional ex'
peOse of paying the cost OF the under
taking"
This sally caused little stir and
amusement among counsel for Virginia,
but the representatives of the mountain
state apparently did not quite catch the
Joke.
