 Perhaps the most significant de- velopment was the continued advance in grain prices.

PITTSBURG, Oct. 1.-The body of Miss Ethel Barthel, 2S. nurse, brutally murdered, police believe. was found today outside an aban- doned house near the Homeopathic hospital.

 The body was found beside one of the pillars of the covered carriage entrance at one side of the house. Beside the body was a stone about 15 inches square and weighing about 50 pounds upon which blood was found. The young woman had been

HONOLULU, Oct. 7.-(By Associ- ated Press. s.)-Private schools in Hawaii conducted by nationals other than those of the Far East may be compelled to pay the tax of sl annu ally for each pupil enrolled, which was set by the alien language school laws adopted by the recent Iegisia- thorities.

Radio and the Lawbreakers.

The "long arm of the law may be
increased in length by the radio. This
possibility is suggested by the pro-
posal Of a wireless net" over the en-
tire country for the arrest Of desperate
criminals by the police of all cities
which has just been advanced from
Detroit. Maj. Sullivan, superintendent
of police here, has been consulted and
is now considering the proposal.
At present the telegraph and the
telephone are employed in criminal
pursuit, even as formerly the mails
police in following fugitives from JUS
tice. The radio permits an immediate
broadcasting of information in all d.
rections. A single message transmitted
from Washington. for example. reaches
not only all police officials in every
city, but millions of people, who be-
come thereby informed of the requisi-
ton for arrest. Possibly in this latter
fact lies a disadvantage in the broad
casting method through the giving Of
information to the criminals them
selves or their friends or others who
are beyond the pale Of law and have a
sympathetic feeling for all those who
are sought by the police.
1t is extremely difficult now for a
known lawbreaker TO escape. If de-
scription Of him is available it can be
placed in the possession OF police off,
Gals in every city within a few hours

available for reference. If the fugitive
is a newcomer in the ranks of law
breakers, and his photograph is to be
had, it can be sent out to the confines
of the country within few days, trav.
cling almost as fast as he can go him
self. The radio will not facilitate this
process of identification unless devices
for the reproduction Of pictures by
wireless are perfected.
The meshes of the laws net are un.
doubtedly becoming finer. and the net
itself extending, despite the vast area
to be covered within this jurisdiction
the plight of the person who seeks tc
escape has become, indeed, desperate
If the procedure of trial and punish
ment were as speedy, law enforcement
in the United States would be, indeed
effective, but, unfortunately, it would
seem that the more efficient the process
of criminal catching becomes the
slower goes the work of the agency

Problems of British
Taxation Explained

To the Editor of The Star:
It will probably interest your read
ers. especially such of them as are
about to visit the United Kingdom,
to know the extremely complicated
and technical character of the law
relating to tax liability in order that
they may avoid pitfalls.
Thus a person having a residence in
England to which he can return at
any time he wishes is liable to tax on
the whole of his remittances home for
any tax year he visits the United
Kingdom. A common instance is a
man whose wife resides in England.
For any tax year in which he does
not visit the United Kingdom at all
he has no tax to pay whatever so far
as remittances home are concerned
out of his foreign and colonial in
come, but if he spends a day in Eng
land he is caught for the whole year.
On the other hand, a man who has
no residence in the United Kingdom
can spend any time there less than
six months without mourning any
tax liability on colonial or foreign in
come whether remitted or not.
It is not known as much as II
should be among non-reSfdentS that
they are free from British tax on for
eign and colonial income, even If it
happens to be paid in the United
Kingdom, and on most of the war
loan stocks. If the tax should be de-
Quoted 1t can generally be recovered
in full.

subjects and a few other persons can

sums made from the investments. No

Motor ThieYing.

Five men have been arrested at
Bridgeport. Conn. on a charge of
being agents of gang Of automobile
thieves in New York. It is believed
that an immense business is being
done in the disposal of stolen cars,
and an estimate has been made that
pilfered machines have been shipped
out of New York lately at the rate of
thirty a day. The Bridgeport men, it
is charged, have been engaged in the
work of altering the distinguishing
marks on the machines. BY means of

Constantine.

Ex-king Constantine of Greece did
not long survive his second exile from
Athens, and perhaps his death was
the happiest possible ending Of a.
career that could not have been
frightened by any conceivable future
change. During his first exile Con-
stantine, or "Tino," as he was more
familiarly known in Europe, was ener-
getic in his efforts at restoration,
which were finally successful. But he
returned to Greece in circumstances
that made irresistibly for more trou-
adventure in arms in Asia Minor. The
collapse OF the Greek campaign there
compelled his abdication.
At the outbreak of the great war
Constantine's partiality for Germany,
occasioned by the fact that his wife
was sister Of the kaiser, placed him in
d. most difficult position, and Greece
suffered seriously in consequence. He
could not clear himself of this asso-
citation, and his later troubles may all
be attributed to the relationship with
Germany and his failure to express
the Greek sentiment in the war
In Greece Constantine was an alien,
after all. His father. son of the King
Of Denmark, had given the country an
Intelligent rule and had won to a
great degree the sympathies and un-
derstanding Of the Greek people. Con-
stantine, succeeding him upon his as
sassination, did not, however, succeed
him in the respect and affections Of
the Greeks, and the war was his un-
doing. 1t Is doubtless well for Greece
that Constantine has passed, for he
would have remained. despite his
formal abdication. a potential center
Of intrigue for restoration. Now he is
removed by death, and the Greek prob
lem, difficult at best, will be perhaps
brought closer to solution in conse-
quence.
