the crash as the heavy auto struck against the rocky bottom Of the pit.
They ran forward. but In the mist and gathering darkness they could

been considered prima facie evidence that he had murdered Burdick.
TO DIVERT SUSPICION IN DEATH
Rcsourceful, selfish, cunning, it would be natural for Penneul if he
wants to kill himself, to seek some way of doing it that would not leave
suspicion behind. He was the sort of man who would have thought out
the project of going out into the lonesome suburb and running his automo-
bile into a stone quarry. .
Death was almost q certainty. Those who believe that the disaster was
caused by Pennen say That he knew the quarry, knew the long drop from
the street and knew that the chances were against coming out o fhe leap
alive.
But II he had gone out there in that lonesome secton and guided his
machine into the quarry alone ne might not have heens seen and the suspi-
cn OF intent would have attached when his body should he found. What
more natural than that he shonld take his wife along? Surely, n la
could say then that his attempt ~ deliberate.
It appears almost baTbarous to accuse a la OF rskng the life o. his
wife. with q certainty of almost killing her. in order TO owe up his own
suicide but PenneI plainly did not think much Of his wife. She had en-
dured martyrdom at his hands. She had plenty OF money, and friends of
the family say that this money "a the only tie that bound Pencil to her.

CITIZENS ARE CONVINCED
1T WAS SURELY SUICIDE.
cppeciai to The Evening World,

BUFFALO, N. y, March 1.-THE impression is stronger than " in
Bu6alo that Arthur PenneI, accused OF connection with the murder of Bur-
dick, intentionally ran his automobile over the 3O-foot embankment into
Yamerthal stone quarry and killed himself
While the police profess to believe that the death Of Penne1 will have
no effect upon their search for Burdtcks murderer. there is o general
conviction chat the Burdick mystery is a sealed book that never will be
opened.
Should II be certain that Pennel deliberately killed himself surely no
man ever sought a stranger method. Those who profess to think that the
wrecking of the automobile wa accidental say that 1t is extremely unlikely
that PenneIl would have taken his wife with him II his mind was made up
10 plunge his machine into the stone quarry. But this Pennel wa a queer
sort of man.
HE WAS A REMARKABLE PERSON.

difficult to assemble in q committee.
Mr.. Rhoades, the chairman, says that
the committee, having made a report
on the subject three or four months
ago, will now await further instruc-
tions from the Chamber. From anoth-
or source it is learned that the Cham
ber will questionably authorize the
committee to continue the movement
for q better financial system.
There we have the men who are to
shape the financial policy for this
great nation of ours. 1t is true that
the people, who are supposed to ,ule,
have not delegated these men to do
this work. But it has long been the
settled policy of the partyin power
that the big special interests shall
make their own laws and congress
shall then adopt them in order to get
around the little matter of the clause
in the constitution which gives con-
gress the power to make laws. The
Journal editor seems to have had
some dim recollection that congress
could not be entirely ignored, for after
giving the above extended notice of
what the real directors we're doing he
added the following little foot note:

the MONEY CONTROLLERS.

The chief moguls in the financial
world have made up their minds that
there is going to be q change in the
credit money of the nation. The fact
that the Fowler bill and the Aldrich
emergency measure failed to pass the
last congress has not discouraged
them. They have an unfailing re-
source that they used in the past and
intend to use again when persuasion
fails to bring congress to terms. The
stringency in the money market that
we have heard so much about the last
Six months will be played for all it is
worth to induce congress to pass such
measures as are demanded by the f.
nanciers. Wall Street Journal of
March 81 contains an article on this
subject that is worth studying. Com
Ing from people in close touch with
the masters of finance in Wall Street,
1t Is pretty good uthority on the sub.
jet OF their wants. The article onens
with the following significant words:
The prevailing stringency in the
money mar ket serves to keep alive the
agitation for financial legislation,
Let time money continue on high basis
throughout the year, and when the
next congress assemblies. especially if
1t Is convened in September or Oct
ooer, the crop moving time, when the
credit shoe pinches the most, it is pos
slble that a public sentiment will have
developed strong enough to force &C.

incident to the opening of presidents

Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1903-03-28

Why should congress meet in Sep
TENDER or October? To pass on the
Cuban reciprocity treaty. Why was
not congress called together in extra
session Immediately after it was found
necessary to submit the treaty to both
houses? Because it is difficult for the
New York banks to precipitate mon
ey scarcity at this time of the year
powerful enough to force some con-
gressmen into voting for such radical
measures as these masters of finance
want. If Cuba can get along without
reciprocity until September or Octo-
Der why can 1t not wait till the regular
in December? Because Sep.
tember or October will be = much bet
tor time to create = tight money mar
ket than December is.
1t is evident that there is q covert
threat under the language OF the above
quotation. 1t means that If those men
do not get what they want they will
give an ''object lesson' of. the dan
gers of our present unelastic currency,
and they will 60 a. near to an actual
panic as is found necessary. 1t is al
80 q warning to the fellows on the
"inside" to get under cover and be
prepared to stand the shock when it
comes. The fellow that knows surely
beforehand that panic is coming can
get in position to make money by it.
Should all begin to cover the panic
would come sooner. Itmay go farther
than intended, as was undoubtedly
the case in 1893, when the scare started
by the opponents of silver threw peo-
pie into such wild panic that q great
many of what would under ordinary
circumstances be considered solid in
stitutions we're swept along with the
The Journal bewails the fact that
the bankers themselves have been un-
able to agree on any measure, and says
that il the chief reason why nothing
was done. This is undoubtedly true,
and hence the scare and possibly the
panic must come to force the small
banks into adopting the program Of
the larger banks. The Journal feels
quite sure that the problem will be
solved this summer, and gives the fol.
lowing account of what is being done:
The American Bankers Association
has appointed committee on currency
reform consisting of n. G. Fahne-
stock, vice-president First National
Bank Of New York, G. S. Fairchi'd,
president New York Security and
Trust Company; Myron T. Herrick,

making no disclosures of it's proceed
