THE MUNICIPAL POLL TAX CASE

In regard to the recent discussion
of the decision of the Murray poll tax
case. in which the Justice of the town
of Friday Harbor decided that the
ordinance was too vague and lnden-
mite. and that the remedy provided
ty the ordinance is not in accordance
with the provisions of law. it is we'll
to note the legality Of the ordinance
under whicht his decision was given.
The Supreme Court held in the case
of The Town of Tekoa vs.. Reilly At
WASH 2O2 that towns of the fourth
class have right to collect street
poll tax and to prescribe by what
means the same is to be collected.
This case is exactly the same as that
under which John L. Murray was ar
rested, and the ordinance of the town
of Tekoa is in substance the same as
that under which the town of Friday
Harbor is acting.
The attorneys for Mr.. Murray
agreed that the case above cited is
the law, and that the Supreme court
would undoubtedly rule the same
should the question be again taken
before it, yet the Justice of this town
held n wv b a n & the deci-
sion of the supreme court. that the
Friday Harbor ordinance was too
vague and indefinite, in that it did
not state a time when the said tax
is collectible. Yet the ordinance
which the Supreme Court upheld did
not state a time when the same was
collectible. At the time of the trial
the attorneys for the defense present
ed series of motions. and count
less number of lawbooks purporting
to bear on the poll tax question de-
cisions we're read from our sister
states Connecticut and Kansas bearing
on this important point and we're as
closely connected to the question
before the court as the two poles mot
polls. pardon the pun). The court,
however, listened to this case, not
properly before him, which was very
kind and indulgent of him. since it
was already past his supper time: and
after the attorneys for the defense
had had three or four opportunities
to sum up their case. the attorney for
the town of Friday Harbor cited and
read the case of The Town of Tekoa
vs.. Reilly, and stated to the court
that that was the decision and the
only one OF which he could properly
take notice, since it was case involv-
ing street poll tax in city of the
same class as the town of Friday Har-
Dor, and brought under an ordinance
similar to the one in this town.
After listening to the lengthy argu-
ment of defendant IS counsel the court
said Gentlemen. | have heard so
much law. that l don't know where
am at. " and forthwith gave the de-
cision which fully proved the truth
of his remark.

But things were different in the
famous Third Section" as the secret
police are called. Gen. Trepoff was
there arranging in consecutive form
the result of five days of hard work.
Here is the story of what had been
going on behind the scenes, the knowl-
edge of which had been 90 carefully

In restaurant on the Nevsky had at

whispered conversation. During part
of the talk the name Of the car and
the date, the 18th Of March, had been
overheard. That was enough. Detec-
tives placed on their tracks followed
them like bloodhounds.
On the eve of the fateful thirteenth
one of the men met woman in the
streets of st. Petersburg and had a
hurried conversation with her. Five
minutes after they separated the
woman was placed under arrest. A
search of her person revealed a large
quantity of nihilistic proclamations all
calling for the death of the car. She

By Saturday March IL. the gener-

mildest hammered person in St
Petersburg was considered At subject
for suspicion. Innumerable arrests
were made and some of these were
upon such fiimsy basis that even the
rigor of Russian policedom could not
justify their detention. Hourly reports
were handed in to Gen. Trepoff. He de-
voured these with eager interest, purS-
ing up his shaggy eyebrows-and
thinking all the while. Presently one

conspiracy.

car called on Gen. Trepoff.

The route over which the car trav.
eled was lined with police. They stood
alone, in pairs, and In squads. They
were conspicuous and yet not unduly
SO, for hundreds of them in plain
clothes mingled freely with the peo-
pie.
Just before the parade started
Trepoff arrested four students. They
were young men waiting to see the
royal show. The people protested
against the arrest as an outrage. but
the grizzled head Of the st. Petersburg
police grinned-and said nothing. In
deed the calm demeanor of the pris-
oners seemed to justify the protest Of
the people. One of the men carried a
book under his arm, evidently, from
the gilt lettering on the outside, de-
votional volume; another had green
bag containing legal documents; the
third, apparently with a desire to get
a good look at the car, carried pair
of opera glasses, while the fourth had
nothing unusual about his person, I'M

She admitted that the young cadet
who had committed suicide had been
selected to assassinate the emperor.
But when he realized the meaning OF
his assignment he killed himself. She
stopped at this stage Of her confess
sion. Neither persuasion nor torture
nor threats Of death would induce her
to give the names Of the others con-
cerned in the plot.
But Trepoff had q foundation on
which to build his case. Here was .
bit of paper. It would have to be traced
to its origin. It was evident that an
Illicit printing press had been set up
somewhere In the city. All this time
the two men who had talked incau-
tiously in the restaurant were being
followed. They were seen to enter q
house in the Jewish section. The rec
ords Of the police showed that the
house was occupied by Aaron Zonde-
levic. who. at one time. had been q
printer.
That was suficient In less than an
hour afterward the house was raided.
