Under date of Jan. 20th a writer II the Skaguay Alaskan, signing himself An Alaskan Fisherman rushes to the defense of that Seat tle fish combine as against the pro- test of Wrangell, laying particular stress upon the fact that fish traps would be beneficial to Alaska. SEN rINEL wishes to inform this writer and all others that Wrangell has raised no objection to fish traps; that her protest was only in the interest of local fishermen and bus mess men against horde of cheap labor that it is proposed to send here. The traps won't hurt any body; but the operators. as pro- posed by the combine at first, would prove disastrous to this dis trict. And while speaking about this matter, SENTINEL would sug- gest that Alaskan Fisherman" should have informed himself be- fore making the statement that the native and resident Alaskans- who fish with nets-number about 1000 men," He certainly didn't mean that. for here about Wrangell are upwards of 400; over on the west side of the Prince of Wales are about 1000. and these are but drop in the bucket as compared with all southeastern Alaska. Just think again on this question before rushing 10 the rescue of that Seat tie octupus.

Perhaps no man holds a warmer place in the hearts of the American people, than Abraham Lincoln, and this (Feb. 12th) is his birth day. During the Nations exist ence three men have gone to their
 grayes-two by the hands of assas- sins-whose names should be in- seribed upon the same tablet of gold. These are Washington Lin- coin and Mckinley. The former finished his work begun, and finish ed it well; but the two latter were stricken down before the world knew of their contemplated mode of reconstruction after seeing armies under them victorious. As Lin coln's Day" this should be general ly reverenced by all, and all should bare their heads as the name ot our martyred president is spoken.

Francis w. Cushman of Washington
followed Mr.. Watterson saying that
within the thirteenth. fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments to the United
States constitution. are gathered the
fruits and final results of the war Of
the rebellion. These are the amend
ments that in our organic law guaran-
tee freedom, citizenship and suffer
age to the negro. What is the charac-
ter of these amendments? Are they
merely figures of speech with which
to adon the fiorid rhetoric of a polit-
ical peroration, or do they constitute
guarantee of rights to the negro as
the foundations of our government?
To me these amendments constitute
ipso facts, to the greatest onward
stride made by this the greatest ma
ton that has reared its head above
the claim in forty centuries. These
amendments represent the inviolate
promises of the past, the sacred duty
of the present, and in them are
wrapped the hopes of the future.
when you wantonly destroy that
| legislation you are blotting out the
hopes which cast their faint and trenl-
bling beams across the blackness of
| the past he SAID. when you mutt
| late that legislation, the past of our
nation thrills with agony and the dust
of our dead shudders il shame. When
you blot out that legislation, you dim
the eyes of hope with the tears of de-
spair. and you blur the most glorious
pages of your country's history To
| write that legislation on the statute
book two million men marched in the
serried ranks of war, and half mil.
| lion died. The American who today
would wantonly destroy that legisla
ton, or sit supinely by and permit il
to be nullified, is political vandal
who would mutilate the blood-stained
and time honored monuments of the
war.

Inquiry Into the Death of Mrs. Burdck's
Paramour and His Wife Begun
judgment Of Justice Murphy's Court Ig-
nores the Probability Of Suicide
Pennell's Anti-Mortem Statement avs the
Trouble to the Yellow Journals

Buffalo, April 1.-THE evidence
given yesterday at the inquest into
the death OF Arlnur and Mrs. Penneh
before Justice Murphy will not help
the authorities in any way to solu-
ton OF the Burdick murder mystery.
Whether the tragedy at Genres stone
quarry March 10, in which Pennell
was killed and Mrs. Pennell was Ia
tally injured, was due to accident OF
design, was not proven.
Thomas Penney, who has acted as
attorney tor the Pencil family since
Arthurs death, declared so far as he
was aware, nothing in the papers left
by Pencil would throw any light up
on the murder of Edwin Burdick.
When questioned regarding the al
legged defalcations by Pennell, Penny
declined tc answer.
THE evidence that would show the
defalcation would simply be accumu-
lative." said Justice Murphy, after the
evidence was all in. mo stronger
motive could be proven than has al
ready been brought out here. But
proving motive does not establish
suicide
The court then announced the YER
dict that Arthur R. Pennell and Carrie
Lamb Pencil came TO their death as
a result of injuries received when the
automobile plunged into the quarry
The court says:
Il cannot determine from the evi-
dence submitted whether such plunge
was accidental or designed"
During the hearing yesterday Wal
lace G. Omphelius, who was Pencils
clerk, was called as a witness. Pen.
nell, he said, got out a statement for
publication, but took the manuscript
to make some corrections and the
witness did not see it again. He him
self had copy of the original state,
ment as transcribed from his steno
graphic notes. Coatesworth read it,.
1t was prepared the Saturday follow
ing the murder and was addres sed to
the public. In the statement Pennell
stated he had satisfied the district at
torney and the police that he had
nothing to do with the Burdick MUIR
der. With reference to his connection
with the divorce proceeding, he said
that the living have their lives to live
and have greater right than the deao.

He declared there was no truth in the
charges brought against Mrs. Bur
dick or himself in the complaint He
declared there was no reason why she
should have to be driven from her
home by Burdick; that Burdick hal
been intimate with a woman whom
he intended to marry, and it was not
until he learned Mrs. Burdick was to
sue him for divorce that he entered
divorce proceedings himself Pencil
declared Burdick learned of his wife's
intention to sue for divorce when he
secured her papers from the safe de-
post vault, by forging an order on the
deposit company. Pennell declared
Burdick was killed by an unknown
woman whom he had invited to his
house at midnight.
He takes up in detail some of what
he terms 'the Misrepresentation, .
dis ussing each from his point of
view. He empharically denies that
tn Office in Ellicott Square was ever
used as "a meeting place in any man.
ner so falsely and unjustly indicated.
Pencil pays his respects to the de-
tectives, denouncing their statements
as ''unqualifiedly false" Pennell
says that during the tendency of the
divorce proceedings it was because it
was necessary to consult the defend
ant (Mrs. Burdicl); but, he says, it
''can be absolutely proven that these
meetings were in such places and un-
der such circumstances as to absu-
lutely negate any other idea than the
purpose of transacting affairs relative
to the divorce action"
Continuing his statement, Pencil
says:
THE crime is as great my stery to
the writer as to any one. Terrible
notoriety and publicity has been
brought upon the people, more espe-
cially the women, who have entirely
undeserved it; and a great wrong
done to all concerned, especially the
family which has suffered, and must
suffer most. For that we must thank
the spirit of yellow journalism, which
does not hesitate to violate every
principle of truth, honor, chivalry,
justice and sanctity in those efforts to
make news and sell papers, which
make that style of Journalism one OF
the sickening things of modern civiD-
cation"
