BOYLE TALKS Issues Statement in Reference To The Kidnapping OF WILLIE WHITLA |j lloyle Says Harry Forker, flu* llrothrr of Mrs. W'hitla, Sumiosteil ami I'laniied (lie Kidnapping of His Sister's Little Hoy, For the llettii'ii of Certain Letters. Hefore lie was taken from Mercer, Pa., to the Penitentiary at Pittsburg Monday, James ollylo gave out a statement in part as follows: "On the morning of ? between the hours of ?, Dan Keeble, Jr., was found dead on the sidewalk in front of the Mauser block. Hast Federal street, Youngstown, and over the prostrate form was Mr. Harry Forker, of Sharan, Pa., holding in his right hand a package of letters that was gathered from the sidewalk near the dead body of Mr. Reeble. "As he was about to depart from the vicinity he was intercepted by the writer and a man who has since passed to his reward, Mr. Dan Shay, a saloon keeper of Oak street, Youngstown, Ohio. "In Mr. Forker's hurry to leave tin1 scene, he failed to lind two envelopes that contained Fork* r letters. The same were picked up by Mr. Shay. "The writer and Mr. Shay examined and read the contents of same, which proved beyond a doubt the prt sence of Mr. Forker there at the time. "The letters were written by a lady, two from a party in New York State and the others from Cleveland, Ohio." Povle then proceeded to set forth that he demanded and secured money from Forker, under threat of disclosing the secrets contained in the letters. He secured, he sets forth, various sums and finally demanded $5,000. Forker, he says, professed inability to secure the money for him, but suggested the kidnapping of "Little Willie Whitla." The statement embraces the following letter, "Railey" being the assumed name Royle employed. "Friend Railey: You know that the circumstances and the promise 1 made, when you left here, but if you are really desperately in need of money, as you profess to be, 1 will outline a little plan, which, with your co-operation, can bo very successfully carried out, viz: The abduction of J. P. Whit la's son. 1 can arrange to have the boy brought to Warren, Ohio, (hie there at 11: IS, with escort." (There is no signature to the letter.) Resuming, Royle sets forth the a 1 leged manner of the kidnapping, saying a "party" brought the boy to him at Warren, Ohio, whence lie went to Xiles, Ohio, to Ashtabula, and then to Cleveland. He continues: "On March 22, I received a letter from Mr. Forker stating that som< one had informed Mr. Whitla that they li.id recognized his boy on March IS, in Niles, Ohio, and that James Royle, of Sharon, was with him, also that Mr. Whitla was afraid to divulge the information for fear the iiov might come to some hiirm, and tilling mo to be careful and be on the alert, and that when I received the money to immediately surrender those Yonngstown letters, to send same to him. Mr. Fork or, at Sharon, and on Tuesday, April 2:\, to return half of the ransom money to him. Mr. Forker, and he would turn over the same to the party who took Willie Whitla to Warren. "Fpon learning that my name was mentioned in connection with the ease, I made it a point to meet Mr. Whitla personally in Cleveland at 53rd street and St. Clair av nuo, showed him the letter that passed between Mr. Forker and myself, also the Yonngstown letters and Mr Whitla promised that if I would substantiate the truth of the Yonngstown letters he would see there would be no prosecution. "I then surrendered through Mr. Whitla all the letters that wore in my possession and the world knows the result. I was arrested and convicted and deprived by my own counsel of telling my story on the stand. I informed my wife that the boy was brought in ordr to escape being quarantined in the p"st house and we were to he handsomely rewarded | for taking care of him. | "This unfortunate woman was duped from start to finish In regard to the boy and I was duped from the minute I lot tho letters go into Mr. Whitla's possession. As my counsel afterwards informed me, I had nothing to show or to prove and thar. i! was a matter of veracity?their word against mire. 1 had given up every scintilla I had and now I am set1 tied for. T>?is story is as true as there is a God above us." The statement is signed: 1 "JAMBS BOYLB, j Mercer, Pa., May 10, 1909." 1 TPs only when they can't bog, borrow or st al that some fellows will go to work.

Tho mirror was returned to her and she will be allowed to keep it in her coll. Movie and his wife sat together and hold each other's hands during the entire .iourn v from the scone of their trial. Sheriff Chess said he was glad to got the prisoners out of his custody. as he was afraid they would in- auie 10 carry out their announced intention to commit suicide. The sheriff stated he believed Royle bad intended to kill his wife and then suicide with a razor the sheriff found in the kidnapper's tie today. Neither prisoner would deny that this was t rue. it has been decided, so far as Mrs Rovle is concerned, at least, that no appeal will he asked for. The severity of the sentence imposed upon the pair appalled Mercer where it was pronounced. Roth prisoners collapsed in court upon being sentenced and had to he carried from the room. Hardly had they reached their cells when word was given out that the woman had token poison during last night and had narrowly escaped death at her own hands and that a razor had been found concealed in Rovle's clothing Refore this thrill had lost its force Royle gave out his statement implicating llarrv Forker, brother of Mrs. Whitla, in the kidnapping case. In Mercer and Sharon the story does not seem to be generally credited and as the district attorney has no faith in it, there is little likelihood of any formal action in the matter. INCOMM TAX IN FX(?IjAXI>. Statician Makes ail Interesting Report. A report which constitutes an important. contribution to current discussion of the proposed income tax is made to the bureau of manufactures of the department of commerce and labor by Charles M. Popper, tlio special aeent who has boon investitcati 11 k fiscal affairs in Europe. Mr. Popper says that for the fiscal year endiup; March .'11, 1 900, the revenue from t lie income tax in (Jreat. Britain was $ 1 05,000,000. This tax in 1008 was the greatest single source of revenue, exceeding the excise imposts by $ 1,500,000 and the customs receipts by $23,000,000. Income under $800 are exempt from the tax and graduated .abatements are allowed on income bet ween $800 and $2.1)00. The lowest rate in the last half century has been a fraction over one cent on the dollar. Since 1800 the highest rate has been about 30 cents to the five dollars. In I 007 the yield was $150,000,000, as against $90,000,000 in 1 809. Every year rovelas Incomes previously covered up. Mr. Pepper shows that the principal source of the tax comes under the group of businesses and professions and particular properties, such as railways, canals and mines and foreign and colonial securities. The next leading source of revenue is from profits from the ownership of houses and lands. arit.\11> or iski.nu si:izi;i> Woman Worried hy Stories of the White Slaves.

DISAGREEMENT Memorial Criticising the Citadel Stirs up the I DIOCESAN COUNCIL llev. <'. II. Jordan Withdraws After Thai Ihaly herliiied to Spread on tlio Miniit?'s a Memorial, 1'hart?iii^ ('itadal tXlirrrs with Discrhii iiiatin^, Auanisl l-!pis<-opnlinns. Tho Council of tho lOpiscopal duces sat down 0:1 ltev. C. 11. Jor tail last Thursday ;tl Spattanhurs, claim ing that he had not been shown t?*o proper consideration of respect b.> I the Council, because the Council re! fus* d to adopt a resolution offered by him and refused to approve a memorial that he he presented, the Itev. C. II. Jordan, rector of the Nativity Church at. Union, asked to be excused from further attendance upon the sessions of the Council. The following account of the matter we take from The News and Courier: The trouble was precipitated when Mr. Jordan presented a nn mortal from the (Ireenville convention, the subject of which was religious eon' lit ions at the Citadel. The memorial I was that there was religious discrimination at the institution against cadets of episcopal parents; that tiny I were not allowed to attend services at the episcopal churches as freely as they might ; that t hoy are required to march iu squads to oth r rhurchs, while the cadets of Itoiuan Catholic faith are permitted to afted to attend the church of their fa i t h. The discussion that followed the reading of the memorial was lively, objections being made to the adoption or consideration of the memo rial. Judge Haskell said thai it the Council interfered it would ho mixing religion with politics and advised the Council to steer (dear of the matter; that the Citadel was a State institution and not under the control of the dioceses. The Rev. Albert Thomas, of Darlington. said that he was a graduate of the Citadel and he knew of Ids own knowledge that the Episcopal students are not being discriminated against, lie said that there are live Kpiseopal churches in Charleston and that the cadets attend these churches more frequently than the other churches. During the discussion It was brought out that the students who are Roman Catholic were not required to attend the Protestant churches and Mr. Jordan made the point, that 110 exception should he made, finally, it was decided to receive the memorial as Information and not spread it on the minutes of the Council. Mr. Jordan presented then a resolution providing for the appointment. of a committee to make an investigation of the alleged religious discrimination at itho Citadel and report the result of its findings at the next meeting of the Dioceses Council. The resolution provided for the Bishop to serve on the committee, Bishop fiuerry promptly stated that he would not serve. A mo tion was made and carried, almost unanimously, that the resolution he] laid on the table. Mr. Jordan then addressed the Oouneial stating that he had been shut off from debate by the Council, that he had not been treated with proper respect and courtesy and asked to he excused. The incident was regretted by members of the Council. The proposal was almost unanimously regarded as Ill-advised and as likely to place the church in an undesirable light, and to provoke an n n oleosa nt religions controversy Tim handling of the subject from a parliamentary standpoint wan perhaps a little irregular and thin gave Mr. Jordan ground for thinking that ho had boon treated in an unfair manner, although Hlshop Ouerry assured him that sticii had not been ins intention. LYNCIIHI) IN FLOIUDA. .Mob Wreaked \ engeanee on a Negro Fiend. Mrs. John Deas, wife of a well known farmer, residing at Camden, fifteen miles from Jacksonville, Fla., was criminally assaulted early Sunday night by an unknown negro, who was later raptured by a mob of citizens and lynched. Mrs. Deas was driving her cows home in the afternoon when the negro sprang upon her, forced her to the ground and accomplished his fiendish purpose. Mrs. Deas' screams attracted the attention of her son, who came to her rescue, but the negro had made his escape from the scene. The sh< riff, in Jacksonville, was notified, but when he reached the scene the mob had captured the negro. Mrs. Deas has identified him and his throat had been cut from ear to ear, and his body riddled with bullets, The sheriff could gain no information as to the identity of the mob and no one seems to know the negro, clalinine that he was a stranger in thos^ Th0 body was carried to Jacksonville. , . m . m U " '^1 CAUSED SURPRISE ix < ii akkstox wlll*<x till*: xkw8 ukaciikd tiii:i;k.

Col. t). J. Bond, the superintendent of the South Carolina Millfay Academy, had heard nothing of the matter when ti representative of The News and Courier visited him ;it the Citadel 21 few evenings ago, and he road the dispjiti h with the. greatest surprise. "I can't understand the matter at all,' lie said with 21 smile. "We 2iro using today the sitrne system as to church attend.ince that wo have used for the last twenty yeiirs, and this is the first complaint 1 have ever heard in regard to the matter." Col. Bond did not think that the situation was such its to render j ncct ssary siny statement by him, but lie did not object to explaining the system of church attendance as followed at the Citadel. The cadets every Sunday morning tire sent out by compiuiies, he said, ;i company to a church. There are eleven churches on the list, which are attended in rotation. Five, of these 2iro episcopal churches?St. Michael's, St. Philip's, St. Paul's, St. Luke's and Grace Church; three are Presbyterian, tiie First Presbyterian, Second Presbyterijin and Westminster Prejbyterian churches; two are Methodist Bethel 2ind Trlnitv ??'" i?. ^ ? wut; I *<t|MinW church is included, the Citadel Square Baptist church. There are. only six or seven Roman Catholics in the student body. These are allowed to attend churches of their own faith. The students of the Jewish faith, are not required to attend services at Christian churches against their will. Once each month communicants are allowed individual leave to attend churches of their own denomination for the purpose of taking coram tin ion. The cadets are allowed Sunday afternoons off and may then attend any church they wish to attend. The tirst. class has Sunday evenings off. and members of this class may go to any church they please on Sunday evenings. Col. llond also added that religions services are held in the chapel at the Citadel each morning, that (there is a Itihle class every Sunday morning and that the* Citadel Y. M. C. A. holds services every Wednesday evening and every Sunday even ing. "There is absolutely no discrim-> (nation at the Citadel against students of the episcopal faith or of any , other faith," continued Col. llond. "It is not one of the entrance qualifications that a student be an episcopalian, but as a matter of fact it happens that more students are members of the episcopal church than of any other, more episcopal churches i ro !) t t orulo<l 1 1? ?? ? * .. - "C - * .... ... , .....i.-.i i iiiiii iiic v: ii ll i tjllUfl III any other one faith?because of thU fact ami lukvause the Episcopal churches are most numerous of tho Protestant churches in Charleston? and at least four members of the faculty arc Episcopalians, while a fifth attends the Episcopal church regularly."

Speaking from the same pulpit in which tie praised John D. Rockefeller last Sunday, Alexander Irvine, a Socialist and lay pracher, bitterly attacked Andrew Carnegie In a sermon at the Church of the Ascension In New York Sunday night. The address was principally in the form of an answer to what Mr. Irvine styled Mr. Carnegie's criticism of Socialism in one of the Iron master's hooks. "Mr. Carnegie,' said the speak r. "scatters libraries broadcast for th? working men, but works his laborers twelve hours a clay so that they won't have time to read the books. "There are 17,000 men In the Carnegie plants, yet only 120 work eight hours a day. The rest work twelve hours a day and seven days a week. "Mr. Carnegie, at a dinner of forty-five of his associates, dwelt on the fact all but two or them had b^en workmen in the steel plants, and the entire forty-tlvo were now millionaires as the result of their steel holdings. "This he advanced as an argument in favor of the present condition of things. We do not want a few big men at that awful cost; the cost Is too dear. What we want it ! a general uplift of workmen."
