Sixth Session.

The Burdick inquest closed Thurs
day afternoon. 1t lasted six days.
Whether it has accomplished anything
besides making public sensational de-
tails of family scandals is a ques-
tion.
The inquest has served to develop
several theories relative to the crime
that had been suggested many days
ago, but it would hardly be correct to
say that the investigation has added
anything more than appearance of
reasonability to any Of those theories.
There has been no evidence pro-
duced that could possibly be consid-
cred as bearing upon any feature of the
crime other than its motive. There
has been not the slightest direct evil
dence tending to establish the identity
of the murderer or to reveal any of
the circumstances surrounding the ac-
tual commission of the crime.
After the session Judge Murphy,
Chief Cusack, District Attorney Coats.
worth and Medical Examiner Danser
held a conference in the Office of
Judge Murphy.
1t was decided then in view Of the
part played in the Burdick affairs by
Arthur r. Pennell, to hold an inquest
upon the death of the latter and his
wife in the automobile accident at the
Genres stone quarry, beginning Mon.
day

Inspection of Militia.

Washington, March 31.-Prompt and
satisfactory responses have been re,
ceived at the war department from
adjutants general of states and terri.
tories to a recent telegraphic inquiry
as to when the organized militia will
be ready for personal inspection by
an army officer, in order to determine
the number of magazine arms and
equipments to be issued to them un-
der the provisions of the new militia
law. With only few exceptions the
state troops will be ready for the
proposed inspection during the month
of April and it is expected that the
war department will be able to an.
nCunce its plans for the inspection in
a few days. Among the states which
have announced their readiness for
inspection, either during April or at
the convenience of the war department
are New York and Vermont.

The department of agriculture al
Washington has reported that an enor
nous number of letters are being
received at the department from farm
ers in all parts of the country asking
for definite information concerning q
so-called new grain called corr
wheat and usually at the same time
requesting samples for trial
These letters are the result of wide
ly published newspaper reports. The
department authorizes the statement
that there is no such thing as corn
wheat and that it is probable that nc
hybrid of corn and wheat could ever
be produced, or at any rate, one that
would be fertile.
The grain which caused the news
paper publications is known correctly
as Polish wheat. The newspaper re
ports, the department says, are correct
in saying that the heads and grains Of
this wheat are very large, the grains
being in many cases actually twice as
large as those of ordinary wheat.
The statement that it yields 60 tc
100 bushels is, however, probably con
siderably exaggerated. The expert.
ments made by the agricultural lie
partment and by experiment stations
in few places show that the yield is
rather disappointing.
The wheat has been grown only ex.
perimentally in this country except in
very few places. From experiments
so far made the inference would be
that the grain would be very good as
hog food. Polish wheat is much re.
