LIFE INSURANCE INCREASED
THAT VICTIMS MI6HT RE-
COVER LOSS.
LONG CONTEMPLATED SUICIDE
THE BUFFALO TRAGEDY FUR
NIsHEs SOME SENSATIONS
Al REVELATIONS.

Buffalo, N. Y, April Sit was made
public here late yesterday afternoon
that Arthur R. Pencil who was sus-
pected of the murder of Edwin L.
Burdick ami who was killed in the au-
tomobile accident March 10, was a de-
faulter to the extent of $150,000 or
5000, 900.
He swindled estates of friends in
the East out of large sums of Nancy.
He carried over 5000. 900 life insurance
in order that after his death these es-
tates might be able to recoup the
losses which they had sustained
through him. Incidentally it has been
learned that Pencil made provision
for the payment to Mrs. Edwin l..
Burdick of 5000 out of his life insur-
~ance.
The means by which Mr. Pencil de-
rived an income that was sufficient to
enable him to spend in the neighboc-
hood of $4,000 a year had been a
mystery in this city for a long time.
There had been a suspicion among
a few of Pencils most intimate
friends for some time that a good part
of his income had been derived
through fraudulent schemes and that
his wealthy. friends and relatives in
the East were the victims. But there
was no proof that that was so. Some
time after his dec,sh it began to be
rumored that Pencil had
swindIed His Friends
and relatives in the East. 1t was
said that they sent him money to be
invested in bonds and mortgages at
fancy rates of interest, and that Pen
nell, instead of investing the funds,
had used them himself and had avert
ed disclosure of his crooked work by
paying the interest on the invest
ments.
The attorneys who are interested in
the Pencil estate said that they knew
nothing about Pennell's alleged de-
falcations. They did not deny that
the story was true; they simply said
that Pencils brother, who had been
named in the will as administrator of
the estate, had been given se4et
sealed instructions, left by the dead
man, and that the administrator had
properly %refrained from giving any
information relative to these instruc-
lions.
The story of Pencils extensive
swindles leaked out as the result of a
legal dispute owe two life policies.
Pencil had contemplated suicide
for two years. That fast is known
and it was part of the revelations
made yesterday.

URGES BIG STRIKE.

Labor Leader Advises a Gigantic In
dustrial Upheaval.
Chicago, April Frank Buchanan,
president of the International Associa.
ton of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers, yesterday declared in a
speech before the Chicago Federation
of Labor that he believes the time is
near at hand when organized labor
throughout the country should unite
and declare one gigantic strike
against the combinations of capital.
'"The present strike of our members
all w the country against the Amer
lean Bridge company may be the be.
ginning of the industrial upheaval,"
he said. "That strike is likely to
spread so as to tie up the building in.
dustry in the. United States, as we are
considering the question of refusing to
handle material made by the United
States Steel corporation. In case such
an order is issued, thousands Of men
not directly interested in the strike
will be involved, because If the iron
workers refuse to use structural steel
all the other building trades will be
thrown out of employment"
Buchanan arrived in the city yester.
day morning from New York, where
he has been directing the strike
against the American Bridge company.
He said he was anxious to explain to
the labor unions of Chicago the orig
inal cause of the strike. The company,
he asserted, ,pe%rsfstently violated its
agreement with unions of ironworkers
in a number of Eastern cities and
forced the strike by refusing to treat
with the international organization.
''The strike thus far" he added. has
been all in favor of the men, as the
company's work is completely tied up
all over the country"
His startling statement that the
time is near at hand for a strike Of all
organized labor alarmed some of the
delegates, while it amused others.
Following, as it did, the report OF
Organizer Fitzpatrick that the employ
ers were. organized In every branch Of
industry, and setting pitfalls for the
unions In the hope of disrupting them,
it caused q decided sensation.
