Her. gray skating cap and the blue
ribbon She wore on her hair had
been tied tight about her throat, but
she had also been beaten on the
forehead With some blunt instru-
ment. and the leaves under her face
were frozen together with her blood.
In the struggle she had been grasp
ed by the hand with such force that
a gold ring she wore had been fiat
tened into the flesh. Her arms were
badly scratched, and there was a
wound in the cartilege Of her nose,
which surgeons say must have been
caused by human teeth shut down
on it to cut off her breath.

Suspect Arrested in Room.
Williams was arrested tonight III
his room. The police went there to
search for evidence and found their
man instead. Williams admitted
that he had not left the room since
Thursday, and the appearance OF the
room bore him out. His suspenders
were stained with what looked like
blood, and a towel was found on
which bloody hands Semed to have
been wiped.
When placed under arrest the ne
gro was in pitiable terror, and would
neither admit nor deny the crime
with which he is charged. He was
taken quietly to Jail, and there was
no attempt at lynching, though SEN
timent ran high against him.

many times had to fast until after
noon in order TO receive the sacrament.
But to him hardships were never
too great a sacrifice" said Father Cor
rigan. when his religion was con-
cerned, and it is the courage that such
men as he exhibit that has served to
make the Catholic church in this city
what it is today. Would that we had

CORPORATIONS
LIABLE FOR NEW
TAX LAW FAILURES
Many Neglect to Comply by Not
Filing Returns with
Collector.

With the passing of the time lint set
for the fling of corporation returns
under the Federal corporation tax law
with the internal revenue Office. Deputy
Collector e. Allen smith said this
morning that as nearly as he could
estimate from. present conditions, from
fou to five hundred corporations, the
majority of them insignificant, have
failed TO comply with the Federal law,
and are open to prosecution. The gov
eminent officials connected with the
local internal revenue office do moi
seem inclined to think that whatever
failures to comply with the law there
may have been have been. deliberately
planned. The majority of the overdue
returns. it is prophesied, will be found
to be cases where the corporations,
considering themselves too small to be
Included among those forced to make
returns, nave neglected the matter
through ignorance of the law. The Law
provides hat all corporations shall
make eturns, but that those whose in
come per year is less han IS 900 shall
not be taxed.
From five to six thousand returns
have been received. many of them with
formal protests attached. The next
steps in the administration of the tax
will be the classifying. tabulating and
checking of the returns made. When
this is done the returns are to be for
warded to Washington, where the taS
will be computed.
Many returns have been received
from Washington. where they had beer
sem under the evident impression thai
Washington was the proper place to
submit the reports.
Extensions of time, not longer thar
thirty days, has been granted to ap-
proximately 200 corporations, whose
written excuses passed legal muster.
