BRUTAL SLAYING OF BOY
LAID TO SECRET SOCIETY
Foreigner Who Shot One Boy Dead
and Wounded Another Believed
Be Member OF Syrian Colony.

NEW YORK, Jan. l3.-Eyery avail
able policeman is working today 10
locate the man who yesterday shot
and killed Robert Lomas, sixyear-old
son of Thomas T. Lomas and probably
mortally wounded Arthur Shibley, Jr.,
the six-year-old son of Arthur Shlbley,
while the pair were coasting IN Hlgh
bridge Park. in the northern part ol
the Bronx While ar first the brutal
killing was believed to have been the
work OF madman. the police today
are beginning to believe that the slay-
ing may have been premediated and
designed as a reprisal on Arthur Shlb-
ley.
The latters brother. Nassib 4. Shib-
ley. was prominent in the Syrian col
ony here for years and waged war on
the Turkish and syrian secret socie-
ties. In 1908 he was found dead with
his wife in their apartments, Mrs.
Shibley having been Killed by poison
and Shlbley having been shot to
death
Investigation revealed that Shiblcy
and his wife had trouble because Rlgo
the yiolinist. who once eloped with
Princess Chimay, once Clara Ward oil
Detroit. and his wife were friends.
Rigo and his wife were witnesses AT
the inquest but nothing was proven
and It was finally believed that Shib-
lev had killed his wife and himself and
a verdict 10 that effect was returned
Shibley's young son Nassio' was
adopted by his brother Arthur and the
police are now working on the theory
that young Lomas was mistaken tor
little Nassib Shibley and killed while
his cousin was fatally wounded. the
man who did the shooting, described
as Bearded foreigner who looked
like a Syrian or Turk had been
watching the Shibley house TOT sew
eral days. He also loafed along the
coasting ground in the park and this,
the police believe. proves that the
staying was premediated. AT the time
OF the shooting the hill was deserted
OF all but the two boys.

ANXIOUS To PAY
INHERITANCE TAX
Heirs of Peter Anderson Find
Peculiar Obstacle in Their
Way

OAKLAND. May 13.-AlthOugh the
heirs of the late Peter Anderson came
forward voluntarily and rendered pay
ment of inheritance taxes under cir
cumstances that have uniformly in
duced other heirs to fight payment of
them, the intricacies of the Inheritance
tax laws are such that IL was still
necessary for County Treasurer Kelly
to bring suit The Anderson heirs We're
willing to pay. Treasurer Kelly was
willing to take their money, but the
law said that a judicial determination
was necessary.
Before his death Anderson trans
ferred much property TO his children,
w. A, A w. and Mayben Anderson
They say that he made these gifts IN
contemplation of death. and that they
are therefore subject to the tax
number of suits have been brought
throughout the state in which this same
contention is the issue.
Treasurer Kelly was much pleased
at the stand taken by the Anderson
heirs. But his pleasure was ended when
his attorneys told him that he could
not issue a certificate to the heirs that
would clear the property of claims ~
less the matter was made the suojecf
of a judicial decree
The result was that the suit was
brought today. The heirs stipulated
that Judgment might be taken against
them. and the Judgment was accord
ingly rendered today.
