County Where the Crime Was Com­

Pittsburg, March 29.—After Making
a sensational attempt to escape from
a train going thirty miles an hour
denying that she had a hand in the
kidnapping of little Willie Whitla
asserting that she is not Anna Mc
Dermott of Chicago saying that nu

thrown about her Mrs. James Boyle,
wife of the man who kidnapped the
Whitla boy, is in jail at Mercer, Pa.
The woman broke her long silence
and talked, but little definite informa
tion was derived from her remarks.
Although three officers accompanied
her on the train from this city to

injur* luis.'lr Th,- train had lvacbcd
tht Unker.-towu hill, one mile south
of Valencia. William Campbell, a
railroad brakeman opened the rear
door of the chair car in which the
woman and officers were riding. The
next instant Mrs. Boyle jumped from
her seat and ran toward the platform
of the car. Some one made a sharp
cry and Brakeman Campbell slammed
the door anci faced the woman. Mrs.
Boyle quickly stepped into the lava
tory and was attempting to open the
window when Sheriff Cumbort forced
his way into the little room and seized
her. In the meantime the detectives
guarded the rear platform. Mrs. Boyle
was taken back to her seat and the
three officers, visibly excited by the
actions ol the woman, immediately
arranged their chairs in a circle. Mrs.
Boyle was placed in the middle and
the officers decided to keep a more
careful watch on her movements.
At every station between Pittsburg,
and Mercer a large crowd congre
gated and cheered her or struggled
with the police in endeavors to see
and talk to her. Unlike a trip to
prison on a serious charge her jour
ney to Mercer resembled a triumphal
journey.
Both Boyle and his wife now are
locked up in the jail at Mercer, where
they will remain until brought to trial
for the kidnapping, which will prob
ably be during the early part of May.

that
P*
C. A. Smith of the C. A. Smith Tim
ber company is almost the sole sharer
with Dr. Frankforter of the process.
So convinced is he of the enormous
commercial value of the discovery
'hat an experimental plant will be
constructed this summer in the West,
to be followed Immediately by the
building of a mammoth plant.
The processes are already patented,
two final patents having just been
ranted. After the experimental plant
is in operation it is probable that a
large company Will be formed, but
there is no stock for sale.
Dr. Frankforter has experimented
cm these processes for twelve years.
The perfected process consists of tak
ing small pieces of waste wood or
sawdust, laying it on a steel incline
over a furnace and subjecting it to a
chemical process of distillation. Car
bon disulphide, or gasoline, is poured
over the sawdust, dissolving the tur
pentine and resin, which pass off as
gases into a coil of pipes leading to a
tank.
Similar to Sugar Procesa.
The process Is similar to the
tillation of sugar. Wood pulp re
mains, free from pitch, and eminently
suitable for the manufacture of paper.
The existing methods of distillation
left the pulp in the form of charcoal.
Dr. Frankforter extracted from one
cord of Norway pine, worth $7.50, tur
pentine worth $41.60 and wood pulp
worth $39, or a yield of $80 from $7.50
worth of raw material.
The story of the discovery reads
like a story book. Walking one day
in 1890 through the pine woods of the
northern part of Minnesota Dr. Frank
forter noted an old stump which gave
out an odor strangely unlike that of
the ordinary turpentine. He took a
sample back to the university, showed
it to a friend in the faculty who hap
pened also to be a friend of Weyer
haeuser, and mentioned his desire to
experiment further. Within a week a
milk can filled with the pitch of the
Norway pine—for it was that that he
Lad taken home—was sent him. He
set to work. The then known process
of distillation consisted in boiling the
wood until the pitch was separated
and the wood left as charcoal. Neither
of these substances had much com
mercial value. He then happened
upon the present process. Later he
erected a small experimental plant
near his home and capitalists, inter
ested. came to his assistance. The
discovery of the process of making
wood pulp came like a flash.
The experimental plant to be con
structed this summer is not to deter
mine the value of the processes. That
is settled. It is only to ascertain how
a larger plant should be built.
LEAD TO SUICIDE THEORY
Diacoveries Made by Police in Vh»
cennes (Ind.) Mystery.
Vincennes, Ind., March 27.—Whether
Mrs. Russell Culbertson, the Vin
cennes bride, was murdered or killed
herself after cleverly manufacturing
evidence to suggest murder still puz
zles the police. Discovery in the
home of the dead woman of a torn
piece of cloth which resembles the
bandage tied around her mouth when
she was found Wednesday in a shed
near her home leads the police to be
lieve that Mrs. Culbertson was her
own slayer. The locating in Chicago
of a woman suspected of implication
In a plot to murder Mrs. Culbertson
and the declaration from this woman
that she had not been away from Chi
cago since last July, that she could
prove an alibi and would be willing
to come to Vincennes to allay sus
picion against her also served to indi
cate that the tragic end to Mrs. Cul
bertson's life came by aelf-destruction.

TO THE PAYNE BILL
Resolution o! Protest Adopted
by the Assembly.
Manila, March 29.—Floor Leader
Quezcon of the majority in the Philip
pine assembly presented a resolution
embodying a memorial to congress op
posing the Payne bill. The resolution
recites the provisions of the bill and
then declares its enactment would be
prejudicial to the Interests of the Fili
pino people, especially so far as it con
cerns an economic administration. The
resolution then continues:
"The continuation of the bill would
produce a great loss of revenue for
the insular treasury, so much so that
it would be impossible to sustain the
present government. The financial
condition of the country is such that
it would be impossible to impose new
taxation, direct or indirect."
The resolution next approves a res
olution adopted in May, 1908, which
asked the admission of sugar and to
bacco to America without any conces
sions hereafter and Insists upon the
adoption by congress of that resolu
tion. In conclusion it protests "re
spectfully but energetically" against
free trade for America here and limi
tations on Philippine products In
America. The resolution also declares
that the Philippine legislature cannot
In any possible manner devise new
means for producing an Income to
maintain its government.
The resolution was adopted without
division.
