II said Boyle has no chance OF secur-
ing and the prisoner was returned 10 the
jail nc Mercer on the first train.
Last night IL was stated that Mrs.
Boyle will not be brought here for a
hearing at all. The statement that she
was Helen McDermott is doubted here
from the fact that not one Of the Nc.
Dcrmott family has extended her any
aid so far as the public knows, or put
In an appearance since her arrest.
The Whitla family left to-day in
search Of quiet aud rest after their haT-
rowing experiences.
The opinion is spreading that Mrs.
Boyle viii not be prosecuted, but will
very soon be quietly eliminated from the
case and allowed TO depart. There is
said to be no local proof, whatever 10
connect her with the abduction and az
she absolutely refuses 20 aid the local
officials in the slightest, the supposition
Is that she will soon be free. This is
borne out by the delay in arraigning
her.
II Is said the prosecution Is not Gag
erly desired by Mr.. Whitla.

John Barrett Tells Taft Coffee Schedule
Is Dangerous.


Washington, March SO.--John Barrett,
head Of the bureau Of American repub-
lies, yesterday presented to Mr.. Taft
his views as TO the effect Of the proposed
new tariff bill on the export trade of
the United States with Latin America
His interview had especial reference to
the proposed countervailing duty on cof-
fee. He said he believed that the impo-
sition of this tariff and further tariff
on the raw products Of South America
which are not produced in this country
will set at naught all the recent efforts
to build up an increased trade with the
southern republics.
Brazil, he declared, with an annual
foreign commerce valued at $500 100000
feels that the new tariff bill strikes
vital blow at her prosperity and prae-
tically dictates to her, Mr. Barrett says,
how she ought to raise her own reye.
nue..
II Brazil should be forced TO remove
its export tax upon coffee, Mr.. Barrett
believes that the republic would retail
ate by imposing such heavy import tax
against the United States as to wipe
this country out Of their market.
