Alleged Attempt to Kidnap.

An effort to kidnap the child, according
to Mrs. Goldsmith, occurred yesterday
morning when the two Valentines and
Mrs. Shepherd appeared at her home and
asked for permission to see Russell. r.
+. Valentine and Mrs. Shepherd were the
first to call. and on being denied admis-
sion by Mrs. Goldsmith they left, and
Immediately afterward the father of the
child appeared. He made a peremptory
demand on the grandmother to see the
boy, and was referred to her counsel. 1t
is declared the father then forced his
way into the house, and. grabbing the
boy in his arms started toward the
street. At this juncture the brother and
Mrs. Shepherd, it is alleged, reappeared,
| and the grandmother efforts to regain
possession of her grandson We're frus-
trated.
The father succeeded in reaching the
street with the boy and with the assist
ance of his brother jumped into a delivery
wagon at the curb, and ordered the driver
to take them out Of the neighborhood as
quickly as possible. The escape was pre-
vented. it is understood, by civilians and
policemen from the third precinct who
were attracted to the scene by the cries
of Mrs. Goldsmith.
The Valentines, Mrs. Goldsmith and the
child were taken to the third precinct
station house, where Capt. Sullivan. act
ing under instructions from United States
Attorney Wilson, turned the boy over to
his grandmother and preferred a charge

Files Formal Charge.

Later in the day Mrs. Goldsmith
charged the two brothers and Mrs. Shep-
herd with kidnapping and the arrests on
this charge were made last night by
Detectives Baur and Cornwell. The
Valentines promptly furnished bond and
Mrs. Shepherd was held in the House of
Detention until today, when she was re-
leased on bond of $1,000.
The alleged kidnapping is the outgrowtn
of litigation over the possession of the
Valentine child, begun since the death of
its mother. Mrs. Sadie Goldsmith Valen-
tine, the latter part of February of this
year. The two Valentines live in Clay
ton. Ala. where the child was born in
August, 1903. During the illness, which
ended in the mothers death the child
was brought north and placed under the
care of its grandmother. Following the
mothers death the father attempted to
gain possession of his son, without sue
cess. and legal action followed. A recent
order. based on habeas corpus proceed
ings, issued by Chief Justice Clabaugt.
gave the child into the custody of the
uncle, Richard +. Valentine.

Chief Justice Shepard of the Court Of
Appeals. pending the result of an appeal.

TAXED Boards, BABES,
BRICKS, BACHELORS
Widows Likewise Had to Pay
for Remaining Single

Henry VIII taxed boards and gradu-
ated the tax according to the status of
the wearer. For example the sheriff
of Canterbury was constrained to pay
the sum of 8 shillings and fourpence
for the privilege of sporting his ven
cradle whiskers.
Elizabeth likewise fixed a similar
tax on every beard of more than a
fortnights growth. Eliza beth was also
ligious turn of mind, and all who
stayed away from church on Sunday
rendered themselves liable to a fine,
says the London I. P.'s Weekly.
In 1895 it was decided that the ar
rival of every child into the world
should be greeted by a tax. The birth
of a child to a duke cost the proud
but harassed father 80 pounds, while
the advent of a commoners child into
the world was hailed with a tax of
2 shillings. Moreover, it was an ex-
pensive matter to die, and bachelors
and widowers also were compelled to
pay for the privilege of single blessed
ness.
With the advent of more constitu-
tional days freak taxation did not
cease. 1t was due to William Pitt that
the window tax was instituted. In the
reign of George l it was necessary to
have a license in order to sell hats.
Then there was the tax on hair pow
der and the tax on watches and
clocks. In the reign of George III a
duty of shiilings and sixpence was
imposed on bricks. At a later period
in the same reign bricks were divided
for the purposes of taxation into COM
mon and dressed bricks and the duty
on each kind of brick was regulated
according to it's size.

WHO, WHAT, WHERE AND
HOW is A TRAMP =?
Wanderer Is CIassed With Other
Freaks of Nature

The tramp is interesting creature
when viewed from his several points
Who is he, and what Is he; where did
he come from, and where is he going
to? That he is we all know, but as to
why he is we are not able to say, says
the Pittsburg Gazette Times.
But If there he musical freaks, mathe-
matical wonders, contortionists, snake
charmers and sword swallowers, why
not tramps, beggars and thieves? Are
not these all freaks in a general sAnse,
and in particular?
How much do you lack of being a
freak, or a tramp, or thief? A little
more, a very little, of the wanderlust
in your makeup might have sent you
adrift; a little less OF the honest i'm
pulses and you might have gathered
where you had not sown; while a
slightly different mixture of tastes
could have caused your ambition to
lead into freakdom.
AS are your tastes and desires so
are you. and as you cultivate them so
will you be.

OBJECT TO ENGLISH
MARRIAGE SERVICE
with Goods | Thee Endow" Is
Now Never Kept

English society women have at last
found a new outlet for their political
activity-reform Of the marriage serv-
ice Of the Church Of England, says the
Washington Post
They say that the service compares
man with the Almighty, and they OBJ
ject to It, This is the paragraph they
particularly object to:
Wives, submit yourselves unto your
husbands as unto the Lord
i do not deny that many godlike
qualities" says Lady McLaren. but /
do not think man can claim TO have
the authority of God Besides. the
service contains another great thun-
dering lie in the mans vow, With all
my worldly goods / thee endow' The
husband says that in the presence of
God and the assembled company. II
is not the truth. 1t is lie"
Lady McLaren declares that women
married in the Catholic, Jewish and
noncomformist churches can keep their
vows. while those marie in the
Church of England can not. Moreover.
her husband agrees with her. and will
introduce eight bills in the house of
commons, all bearing upon the rights
Of women. Apparently. then, her COM
plaint is not a personal one. Her
own husband is willing to humor her
TO the point Of carrying the war into
parliament she is acting for less
fortunate women of England who have
submitted themselves unto their hus-
bands as unto the Lord, and incident
ally have gone about breaking the win
doWs Of government buildings and
horsewhipping public officials.
Even If Lady McLaren does not sue
ceed in her enlightened campaign she
will have the consolation of knowing
that the old system, whereby the cave
man tapped the lady of his choice on
the head with a club and carted her of
willy-nilly. is no longer in effect in
England or other civilized countries
Moreover, she may console herself with
the thought that none of her sex is
compelled to enter into the objection
able contract against her will. The un-
fortunate reflection that must come to
her is that If she does succeed in
changing the service it will not make
a great deal of difference in the atti-
tude of English husbands toward their
wives. To change conditions she will
have to look a little further beyond
the wording of the service

JURY SUSTAINS MANS
RIGHT TO SING FREELY
Vocalist Disturbed Church Serv.
ices, but Is Acquitted

The right of an individual to sing
according to his lights (and voice.
while others present at a church serv-
ice are singing has been sustained by
an Indiana jury, says the Hartford
Courant 1t seems that three trained
singers, who had carefully rehearsed
a diffcult selection. were giving the
selection as part of a regular public
service and were creating an exceed
ingly favorable impression. Then q
man, not a trained singer, but gifted
with heavy bass voice, was moved to
sing. His cooperation was unwel-
come and disturbing, and he was po-
litely but firmly asked to quit. He
only sang the louder. and after the
benediction he was arrested on the
charge of disturbing public worship. A
jury acquitted him on the ground that
he had probably done the best he could
