The warrant for Murphy's arrest was
issued by the direction of Director Of
Public Safety Clay, following the publica-
ton in the afternoon papers of the follow
ing statement, said to have been made by
the head Of the Central Labor Unlons
you can depend upon IT that by Sundays

one man is shot in K~ensington there will
follow "a carnival of riot and bl~oodshed
which will startle the entire country.
Il should not care to be responsible for
such an outbreak. The state police would
be helpless; Iwant 1t understood that there
are men in the northeast who can shoot as
as any trooper who ever drew
breath. Just wait a little while for devel-
opments and you will see something which
will pen your eyes"
This statement was made to newspaper
reporters for publication" said Director
Clay. ION of them was sent for and stated
that the above statement of Mr.. Murphy's
as published, is substantially correct. I
have been advised by the law officers Of
the city and county that the same is a
violation Of law and melting to riot, and,
therefore,. it is my duty as director Of
public safety to place him under arrest"
Mr.. Murphy denied that he had made
such a statement for publication. He says
he merely expressed an opinion as to what
might develop If the strike continues and
the company refuses to arbitrate. The pub
lished statement itself, he said, shows that
a warning and not a threat was intended.

School District Tax an Index.
A good example Of the growth Of the
county is to be found In the school district
tax. In 1899 1t amounted to $50, 1886, and
last year 1t had grown to s127.12O. In the
same time the school district bond tax in
creased from $6,SOS,01 to sl3, 229.62.
Something Of al anomaly is presented Ia
this connection by the decrease in the
amount OF apportlonment of school money
from the state to this county. In 1880 the
amount Of apportionrnent was 81, $3.50 and
in 1900 the apportlonment was SIS, 701. 4S, the
highest In the ten-year period. Last year
the apportlonment was but $50, O22.T n.
The village tax has grown from S., 0s2. 20
in 1889 to S24. 1884 Al in 1909. In contrast with
this is q marked falling off in the poll
tax, which was 500 in 1899 and but S8,5S5
In 1909. The high mark Of the poll tax
during the ten years was in 1907, when It
totaled 8 .2Ss. z
