CRossLAN6 DENIES CHARGES
OF UNBECOMING CONDUCT.
Former Minister to Liberia Declarea
He Shot Thomas Faulkner in
Self-Defense.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, March 30-Doctor ]. r. A.
Grassland. late United States Minister to
Liberia, has arrived in this city on his way
to his home in Missouri. He has made sew
eral visits to the State Department in ref
erence to the business affairs of the Lii
berian mission. and incidentally to give his
version of the troubles between himself and
Thomas Faulkner, an American electrical
engineer residing in Monrovia. He does not
seek any further connection with the Diplo-
matte Service and expects to resume the
practice Of medicine at his home in st. Jo-
seph.
1t is alleged that one of the reasons for
the change in the mission at Monrovia was
that Minister Grassland had shot Faulkner
in the legation building after a series of
quarrels between them. In his report to the
State Department the Minister said he had
been attacked by Faulkner and shot him in
self-defense. On the other hand. Faulkner
said that Grassland had insulted his wife
and shot him when he attempted to remon-
strate about his conduct.
Minister Grassland has made a statement
in regard to the affair, in which he says:
II want to deny that insuited this man
Faulkner's wife or acted unbecomingly in
either q private or official capacity while
was in Monrovia. My recall would have
been asked for if-I was to blame As IL is, I
have here photograph Of the President of
Liberia, which he gave me Just before I
left. and on which he has written: To my
very good friend

Openly Confess That Their Present
Campaign Is "Only a
Bluff"
FRACTIONAL STRIFE CONTINUES.
Money Is Scarce, Workers Are Dis
heartened and Managers Have
Given Up Hope-POst Office
Interests Them.

Divided by factional differences, the Re
publicans are apparently making no effort
to elect their Council ticket. Every attempt
to get the party together has resulted in
failure. Party managers have become dis
couraged and openly concede that the DEM
ocrats. provided they get out a full vote,
will make the Council entirely Democratic.
AT the headquarters of the Republican
City Committee at the Temple building, des-
ultory visits are made by the committee
men. In some instances city committeeman
have not even deigned to work with the
managers. but loosely refer to the outlook
as darker than has ever pervaded the Re-
publican camp.
Men who have accepted nominations on
the Republican ticket tell their friends that
they are running simply for the sake of
keeping up the party organization until
some good angel comes along and restores
harmony.
So far nothing has occurred to arouse the
slightest hooe of better conditions. The
April election will be allowed to go by de-
fault, unless Democrats show some signs
OF lessening the vigor with which they are
carrying on the campaign in the various
wards.
NO INTEREST TAKEN.
Said one of the Republican managers yes
over the way We are conducting the cam.
paign. But what are We to do? We can't
get the business men to contribute In
three of the wards no nominations have
been made for the House of Delegates. In
three others. such poor nominations have
been made that Independent candidates have
appeared. The boys are disheartened and
won't work as they should. In several of
the wards nominations have been traded
for delegates to the city conventions We
are torn from top to bottom with the old
fractional fight between Ziegenhsinism and
the so-called reform element
Showing the futility of trying to unite the
Republicans under the present system Is the
effort which was made to bring the st.
Louis Republican and the Merchants
League clubs together. Negotiations had
proceeded far enough for q comparison Of
lists to be made papers to be prepared and
all but the final negotiations carried out.
When the party workers supposed every
thing was settled word was given out that
matters had come to a stop.
The reason is just beginning to leak out.
During the last few months the names of
the Reverend Doctor W. W. Boyd and Ma
tiOnal Committeeman Richard c.. Kerens
were added to the membership Of; the Mer-
chants League. The st. Louis Republican
Club could not swallow the dose, owing to
the fractional hatred of Kerens and dissat-
isfactiOn over the way in which the Rever-
end Doctor Boyd acted during the past cam
paign.

interested in seeing which one will land the

pubncanS are concerned. Reforming has

At a meeting of the General Managers

which has been called by President Nc
Cnesney to meet at Union Station on April
~. plans will be formulated and discussed
TOT nandnng the enormous passenger traffic
winch IS expected on Dedication Day, and
throughout the Worlds Fair.
railway officials have no hesitancy in
saying that practically nothing can be done
10 increase the advantages for handling the
crowds on Dedication Day. as far as the
steam railroads are concerned.
In their opinion. 1t will be entirely with
the street railway companies.
NaDasn ofnciais have taken several trips
over their tracks In st. Louis. in order that
any means whereby the Wabash can in
and utilized.
:. AS an outcome of these trips of inspection
II is DEFINITELY settled that. further than
running shuttle trains to Forsythe juno
ton on Dedication Day, the Wabash can
do nothing more.
1t has been suggested that the Wabash
may utillze the station at the foot of Olive
street. now used for suburban traffic This
the Wabash oficials declare impossible. as
at present 1t would necessitate sending the
trains around by way of Ferguson. though
when the North End Belt Line Is completed
the wabash could use that station. This. 1t
IS stated, may be done. but the possibility
has not come up for consideration vet.
The possibility OF using the freight depot
between Twelfth and Fourteenth streets for
passenger depot. IS said to be out of the
question.
However, with the completion of the
wabash Depot. between Franklin and Carr.
and other terminal improvements contem-
plated 1t may be. possible to utilize many of
the points now considered out of the cues
ton
Wabash onicials express considerable sur
prise at the action OF the Transit Company
building loops on the west side Of the Wa
ossh and Colorado tracks. as the termini
OF the Olive and Delmar tracks.
It Is stated that thousands of persons
Will have to cross the tracks at time
ming shuttle trains, and serious accidents
will be unavoidable.
Wabash officials state that they would
much prefer that the cars would cross the
tracks. as they could then provide gates
and stop the cars when a train Is coming
but there is no possible way to look out for
severeal thousand persons swarming over
the tracks at the same time.
Is suggested that the Transit Company
build vtaduct over the tracks, which could
be done by Dedication Day, and provide a
safe means OF transportation at a compare
lively small expense.

Buffalo. N. Y, March 3o.-It was stated
tonight by persons in close touch with the
prosecuting officials that Judge Thomas
Murphy, in his report in the Burdick in
quest tomorrow will name Arthur r. Pen

for wishing Edwin l.. Burdicls out of the
way, and that the verdict will be so worried
as 10 point at Pennell as the slayer.
1t was reported also that one other per-
son probably will be named as having
knowledge Of some Of the details of the
crime. Judge Murphy could not forecast
his report, but he said:

evidence as presented. composed probably

PENNELL CASE DELAYED.
To the surprise of all but the officials and
few men who were intimate friends OF
Pennell. the inquest on his death was not
made sequel to the Burdick inquest. as
had been planned Judge Murphy postponed
the Pencil inquiry indefinitely.
The Burdick inquest was declared closed
this morning after Alexander J. Quinn and
+. s. Hall King of the Roland Hotel. New
York. repeated the stories they have al
ready told about hearing Pennell talk Of
killing some one. r,J4el.
1t left the case as much of mystery as
ever. SO far as the actual crime is con-
cerned. 1t connected no one directly with
it. did not disclose what weapon caused
death and did not shatter any alibi that
had been established by persons who had
been mentioned as suspects.
The linking of the two inquiries as was
proposed by Judge Murphy and District At
torney Coatsworth and the admitted inten-
ton of Judge Murphy to reserve his deci-
sion in the first until the conclusion Of the
second. aroused storm of resentment from
influential persons, friends Of the Penneli
family.
They asserted that in following such a
plan the authorities were prOclaiming that
Pencil was connected with the murder of
Mr.. Burdick. The indefinite postpOnement
followed q consultation with Thomas PEN
ney. who represents the Pencil estate.
Judge Murphy said that the reason of the
delay was the absence from the city OF
Wallace Thayer. Mr.. Pennelrs former at
torney. whose testimony would be most i'm
portant of all.
