DYING PRAYER
OF THE POPE
Writes a Hymn Intended
for Use on His
Deathbed.

Special to The Globe.
NEW YORK, March IA copy of
Pope Leo's dying prayer intended for
use on his deathbed, written by him
self and presented by him to each of
the cardinals of the sacred college
upon the occasion of his recent jubi-
lee, has just reached New York. The
poem is written in Latin. Here is a
translation:
Leo, now sets this sum- pale is its dying
ray;
Black night succeeds thy day.
Black night for thee; wasted thy frame;
life's flood sustains
No more thy shrunken veins.
Death casts his fatal dart Robbed for
the grave. thy bones
Lie under the cold stones.
But my freed soul escapes her chains,
and longs in flight
To reach the realms of light
That is the goal she seeks; thither her
journey fares;
Grant, Lord, my anxious prayers;
That, with the citizens of heaven, Gods
face and light,
May ever thrill my sight;
That may see thy face and heavens
queen whose mother love
Has brought me home above.
To thee saved through the tangles of a
perilous way
I lift my grateful lay.

PENN YAM, N. Y, March 17.-In a
frenzy of mania Mrs. James Strow-

house across the street in which her
daughter lived, and also two barns in
which there were eighteen head of
cattle and three horses. When a party
Of men attempted to break over the
barn to release the animals Mrs.
StroWbridge, who was standing in
front of her blazing home, brandishing
revolver, fired at them repeatedly
Several of the men made a rush to dis
arm her, but she held them at bay
with the revolver.
While they were hesitating she sud-
denly cut her throat, filled a pail of
water at the well, thrust hay and
straw into it and placing the whole
mass on her head, rushed into the
blazing house, in which her charred
body and the bodies of her daughter
and mother were found after the fire
had burned itself out.
The three women lived hermit lives,
working on the farm like men and
often wearing mems clothing. They

OR HIRED
assassin KILLED
BURDICK
This the Belief, Of a Witness
at the Inquest : Pennell
Threatened to Kill Himself
and Mrs. Burdiek-Wife of
DR.. Paine Testlfies.

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 1.-THE
name of Arthur B. Pennell, who was
named as correspondent in the Burdick
divorce proceedings, and who met a
terrible death in Genres stone quarry
two weeks after Edwin L. Burdick
was murdered, constantly came to the
surface in the inquest before Judge
Murphy today. Charles S. Parke, Bur-
dicks business partne, and close
friend, while on the witress stand this
afternoon, gave 1T as his opinion,
based upon information and SUPPOSE
ton, that Pennell or "a hired assassin
killed Burdiek Fear OF disclosures
growing out of the divorce proceedings
instituted by Mr.. Burdick against his
wife, Mr. Parke firmly believed to
have been the motive for the crime.
Mr.. Parke told of conversations he
had with Burdicll relating TO trouble
with Pennell. On one occasion Bur-
dick told Parke that Penneu had
threatened suicide If the suit was not
stopped. Pennell threatened to kill
both himself and Mrs. Burdick.
The Paines Testify.
Mrs. Gertrude B. Paine, the wife of
Dr. Seth L. Paine, an intimate friend
OF the Pencils and the Burdicks, was
closely questioned regarding the rela-
tions between the two families. and
especially of the feeling displayed by
the men toward cash other. Mrs.
Paine's house was searched by the po-
lice on the Sunday following the mur-
der.
Today the district attorney touched
only casually upon her Whereabouts on
the night of the murder, devoting most
of the time to questions relating to her
relations with Burdick and her knowl-
edge of the feeling between PennelI
and Burdick Mrs. Paine denied hav-
ing been at Burdick's house at any
time when not accompanied by DIR.
Paine. Her relations with Burdick
were purely social.
DR.. Paine was examined. He was on
the stand for only few minutes. He
was in Batavia on the night of the
murder.
A. Carlson, the Swedish boarder at
Mrs. Paine's house, was very nervous
while on the stand He thought Mrs.
Paine was in the house on the night of
the murder, but could not say posi-
lively. Miss Mary Cunningham, the
other occupant of the Paine house on
the night of the murder. has left the
city, according to testimony given bv
Mrs. Paine today. Her whereabouts
are not known.

The Gregory anti-compulsory vacci.,
nation bill was passed by the house
yesterday afternoon by a vote of 81 to
Al. AftAr passing the Gregory bill. the
mousse, Just to make a clean sweep of
W tWne SUBJECT indefinitely postponed the
compromise bill passed by the senate.
Inc gains made by the anti-Vacci-
natlonlsts In the house give them high
hopes of passing the Gregory bill in
tact In the senate and winning a signal
victory over their old enemies, the
state health department and the ST.
Paul school board.
The Gregory bill, though its effect
may be wide reaching is, In the first
instance, directed at the St Paul school
board, which insists on vaccination as
a condition precedent to admission to
the public schools.
Gregory Wins Great FIGHT.
The passage of the bill, even with a
saving margin Of only two votes. can
De regarded only in the light of a great
victory for Gregory and the anti-vac-
clnatlonlsts, whom he has so ably rep
resented and who have helped day and
night since the organization of the leg
iSlature.
The opposition to the Gregory bill
was admittedly the hardest kind Of
opposition to overcome. The medical
men OF the house, with single ex-
oCPhOll, were opposed TO the Dill. and
Dr. Jones, the exception, refrained from
any strenuously active part in the
nght Committee consideration of the
Bracken health code and it's drastic
features materially assisted the anti
yacclnationists and the passage of the
Gregory bill is generally considered as
an accurate forecast of the fate which
awaits the proposed code.
The house debate was of a decidedly
different character from that heard by
the senate on the same subject two
weeks ago. None of the speeches We're
long, and all We're free from the bit
terness which was so apparent in the
upper house. Mr.. Gregory opened for
the bill, and was followed by Repre-
sentative Perley, of Moorhead who
ably seconded Gregory's comprehen-
SlVe and unexpectedly terse statement
of his case.
Debate Was Good Natured.
DR.. Dorsey, of Glencoe: DR.. Budd, Of
Two Harbors, and p. r. Dowling. Of
Eveleth, spoke for the bill. DR.. Dor
sey did not indulge in any statistics,
preferr1ng to put the case before tho
house as question on which the leg
lslature must decide between the opin-
ions of scientific men and untaught
theorists. DR.. Budd, in the main, ar
gued for the efficacy of vaccination. as
illustrated by the insurance compa-
MES rigid belief in the attitude OF
the medical world on the subject Mr..
Bowling discussed the whole subject
covering it's medical sociological and
commercial phases.
While the final vote shows an appar-
ent margin of twenty votes for the

DORSEY SAVES HIS BILL.
Members Exchange Lurid Personalities
Over Sugar Bounty Measure.

Representative Dorsey yesterday aft
er q two hours fight saved his bill
authorizing beet sugar bounty claim
ants to sue the state in the Ramsey
county district court, and got it on
the calendar, where it stands an excel
lent chance of passage.
Inc light on the Dorsey DILL was one
OF the uglieSt CT the session. and as IN
cident of it Representative Burns drew
the angry attention of the lawyers Of
the Hennepin delegation and later un-
der question of personal privilege
explained that he meant no harm
Another rather touching phase of the
fight was the strenuous support of the
Hennepin county lawyers, who only a
few days ago insisted that the bill was
unconstitutional desired by nobody,
and altogether a bad measure which
they had unanimously decided should
be indefinitely postponed. Their
change of front is explained by the
defeat of the bounty appropriation bill,
which sent them on the run to the
Dorsey bill as Offering the only ray Of
hope for the st. Louis Park concern.
The Dorsey bill is considered by
many members as the only fair prop
ositfon ever submitted to the house
on the long mooted sugar bounty ques-
ton. 1t provides for the claimants haV-
ing their say in court and final set
tlement Of the question. If the sugar
people lose in the courts they will have
no. excuse for again asking the legis-
lature to pass an appropriation bill,
which is admittedly unconstitutional.
In committee of the whole Burns, in
opposition to the bill, read long ex-
tracts from a decision by Chief Justice
Cooley on the subject of the national
sugar bounties. Shepard, of Hennepin,
turned the laugh on the Fillmore man
by rising in the midst of the reading to
move that further reading of the min
utes be dispensed with"
A motion, to recommend the passage
was lost by a vote of 80 to 33, and a
motion for indefinite postponement car
ried by 40 to 43. The friends of the
bill then secured the rise of the COM
mittee. and Dorsey had his bill ex-
cept.d from the report. His motion to
send the bill to the calendar again
brought out Burns, who, speaking on
the sugar bounty question, said he did
not blame the lawyers for supporting
a measure which involved a fat fee.
