INCREASED MAJORITY
For Sir WiIfrid Lawson in Camborne
Cornwall, for Parliament.

London, April 9.-The parliamentary
vacancy in the Camborne division OF
Cornwall due to the death of w. S
Caine, Progressive Liberal. was filled
today, by the return of Sir Wilfrid
Lawson with an increased Liberal ma
jorty. The figures were:
Sir Wilfrid Lawson, Liberal, 1858; Ar
thur Strauss, Liberal Unionist, 1869.
Considerable rowdyism marked the
canvassing The students of Ia local
mining college had frequent encounters
with the villagers.
Sir Wilfrid Lawson's increased ma
jority wds not expected, as he was bit
terly assailed for his so-called little
England" attitude. Sir Wiifrid openly
declared the government ought to give
back the Transvaal and Orange Free
State to the Roers, he otherwise iden-
tilted himself with the ardent pro-Boer
party.
Mr.. Struass. who had already repre-
scented Camborne for five years, was
considered to be a strong local candi-
date.
The Liberal success was probably due
to the dissatisfaction of the non-con-
formist CorniShmcn with the govern
ment's educational measures.
Sir Wilfrid Lawson's election brings
back to Westminster a picturesque
figure long known for his vehement
enthusiasm in the cause of temperance
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain sent
a telegram to the electors, pointing out
that throughout the war Sir Wilfrid
had invariably sympathized with the
enemies of his country"

AFTER THE INQUEST
Civil Suit Over Mrs. Burdick's Share
of Insurance Is Expected.

Buffalo, N. Y, April 9.-The joint in
quest into the deaths of Arthur r. Pen
nell and Jessie Lamb Pencil, which
will begin, tomorrow hfternoc. Il, before
Justice Murphy, will probably end the
yhole Burdick-Pennell affair for the
present. Later the civil action over the
$4,000 insurance supposed to be pay
able to Mrs. Burdick will come up in
court.
1nsinuations against the authenticity
of the statement prepared by Pennell
before his death were promptly ans
wered, today, when the source whence
the statement came was made known.
One of the witnesses subpcenaed is
Wallace G. Omhalius, formerly en-
ployed as stenOgrapher in Pencils Of
flee. He has the stenographic notes of
the statement as it was dictated to him
by Pencil. They have been trans
cribed and the last message from the
dead lawyer will be read in court, to-
morrow.
Pennell had arranged for Attorney
Wallace Thayer to show part of this
statement to Mrs. Burdick to see if it
met with her full approval or whether
She mad any changes to suggest in it,.
Since the "typical-Yale- man" memorial
to Pencil appeared there has been much
talk over it. President Arthur II. HadIey
OF Yale. who was in Buffalo. today was
quoted by an afternoon paper as follows
Arthur r. Pencil, in connection with
the Burdick murder case, did not act like
a typical Yale man. So far as | can learn.
at college Pencil was always a modest,
honorable and, as has been said, in gener.
ala typical Yale man. 1t is not wen to
judge case or a man until the legal in
vestigation has been finished"

KNOWN 236 per cent, which the baron
paid, though he had an unmortgaged in

$25. 900 yearly. Another exceptional case
was that of millionaire manufacturer
who paid interest at the rate of 100 per
cent. for a short term loan of 5000
Praiser admitted having charged the
rates mentioned. but he affirmed that the
enormous risks reduced his profits to 10
per cent. on the capital invested and said
his gaming on human nature" enabled
him to make only 5 per cent. more than
in regular business. Part of his return
for so hazardous an occupation was the
pleasure which his daily battle with I'M
scrupnous nobiemen and social humbugs"
gave him.
