A FATAL PLUNGE.
MIR. and Mrs. Pencil, Connected with
Burdick Case, Killed in Auto
mobile Accident.

Buffalo, n Y, March 11.-Arthur r.
Pennell, the correspondent in the d.
vorce suit brought against his wife
by Edwin L. Burdick, who was muir
dered on the night of Thursday, Feb
ruary 26, and one of the friends of the
dead man, at whom the finger of po-
lice and public opinion was pointed,
was instantly killed Tuesday night
while out riding in his automobile.
Mrs. Pencil, who accompanied him,
was dangerously hurt. She is uncon-
scious at the Sisters hospital, and her
death is expected. One rumor says
that Mr.. Pennell committed suicide
owing to the notoriety he has received
through the murder of Mr.. Burdick.
Buffalo, n. Y, March 12.-Without
regaining consciousness Mrs. Arthur
r. Pencil died at the Sisters hos
pital at eight o'clock Wednesday
night from injuries received in the
plunge of her husbands automobile
into the Jermerthal quarry, Tuesday
night, and thus passes the only hope
the authorities had of learning wheth
er or not the accident was due to de-
sign on the part of Mr.. Pennell.

PRESIDENT PLANS A TRIP.
VIII Leave Washington About the
First of April for a Rest
in the West.

Washington, March 13.-President
Roosevelt's contemplated western trip
was subject of some discussion at the
white house Thursday.
Tbs Kansas people are urging the
president to make some stops in their
state after the dedication of the expo
sition grounds April 80. Only one
stop thus far has been arranged. The
president has accepted an invitation to
attend a meeting of the railway branch
of the Y. M. C. A., to be held at Topeka
May 1. Few other details of the itin-
erary have been worked out. 1t has
been decided with practical definite
ness that only one trip will be made.
While no date for the beginning of the
trip can be fixed definitely until the
senate shall have adjourned it is ex-
pected now that it will not be far from
April 1. After leaving Washington
the president will not return to WASH
ington until some time in June.
1t is likely that the first two or
three weeks of the trip will be passed
principally in the Yellowstone Park.
There the president will seek rest and
recreation, but it is understood that
he will do little hunting.

DENY ALL CHARGES.
Employees of Wabash Railway Make
Answer to Bill of Complaint
of Company.

ST. Louis, Mo-, March 10.-A sweep
ing denial of all the charges made by
the Wabash Railway Company in it's
bill of complaint, upon which was is
sued the injunction to prevent a
strike among its employees, was con-
tanned in the answer to the injunction
suit filed Monday in the United States
district court by the counsel for the
Wabash firemen and trainmen. In sup
port of the answer were filed the affi-
davits of all those named in the injunc-
ton.
The motion to dissolve the iniunc-
ton, briefly stated, is based on the
grounds that the writ of injunction
was improyidently granted; that
charges of illegal conspiracy contained
in the bill of complaint are unfounded
and disproved; that there is no equity
in the bill of complaint; that the in
junction was issued without notice;
and that all the material charges in the
bilh are fully denied.

COAL MEN SET FREE.
Judge Chetlain Instructs the Jury In
Chicago to Return n Verdict
of Not Guilty.

Chicago, March 14.-Judge Chetlain
has freed the II defendants in the
''Bogle-Indiana" crowd of coal cper-
ators and corporations on trial be-
fore a jury in his court for alleged
violation of the antitrust act Of 1891
and for conspiracy to restrict trade
and prevent competition. IN a deci-
sion covering several closely written
pages of copy, he decided in favor of
the defendants motion and instruct
ed the jury to return a verdict of not
guilty against each and every defend
ant.
The action of the court came as
surprise to many who have followed
the case and was not relished by the
prosecution, as it figured it had build
ed up a strong case. Judge Chetlain,
however, decided that the defendants
were amenable to the law, but said
that they must be prosecuted, IL
prosecuted further at all, in the
United States courts, as the state
courts had no jurisdiction.

Havana, March 12.-The Cuban sem

administration senator's, and one ma

and five nationalists against it. There
were three absentees, all of whom, it
is believed, favored the treaty. The

A NEW ERA FOR RUSSIA
Gear Issues Decree Giving Reli-
siOus Liberty to All His Subjects-
jews Thought to BE Included.

St. Petersburg, March 13.-The car
has issued decree providing for free
dom of religion throughout his do
minions, establishing to some degree
local self-government, and making
other concessions to the village com
mittees.
After referring to the efforts of his
predecessors, particularly his father.
TO add to the welfare of the Russian
people, the ear announced his deci-
sion to grant freedom of religion to
all his subjects who profess non-ortho-
doX creeds, and to improve the condi-
tions of village life and those of the
local nobility and peasantry.
Among the measures outlined by
the ear for the attainment Of these
ends is reform of the rural laws, which
is to be effected with the advice of
persons who possess the confidence of
the people. The system of administra-
ton in the various governments and
districts is to be examined by repre-
sentatives of the different localities
concerned, with the view of effecting
the necessary amendments.
Measures are also to be taken to re-
lieve the peasantry of the burdens of
forced labor.
The decree, which was issued in com
memoration of the anniversary of the
birthday of Alexander ILL.,, is consid-
( cred to be the most significant act of
state since the emancipation of the
serfs. The public halls it as the proc
lamation of a new era, opening up
bright prospects of the early improve
ton.
Although the Jewish faith is not
specifically mentioned in the cars de-
cree, it is believed that the liberty
granted to ''all creeds''is intended to
include the Jews.
