VERDICT IN The
BURDICK INQUEST
Pennell is Pract4eall Charged
With the Celebrated
Murder.

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 91.-The
verdict in the Burdiek inquest, hande,
down by Judge Murphy today, while
stating that the identity of the mur>
derer of Edwin L. Burdick has not
been proved, practically charges Ar
thur R. Pennell. the dead lawyer with
the crime.
fennell had stronger motive than
anyone else for putting Burdick out
of the way. Judge Murphy says, and all
the facts brought out by the inquest
constitute just grounds for the Issuance
of warrant against Pennell if he were
alive. The verdict is softened some
what, so far as 1t relates to PenneIl.
by the statement that If Pennell were
alive he would be given the presump-
ton of innocence until proved guilty.
In the opinion of Judge Murphy,
Burdick had no woman guest in his
den" on the night of the murder, and
the crime was not the work Of bur.
glar. The evidence has not disclosed
a single immoral act on Burdicks part
1t portrays him as loving father and
more than magnanimous and forgivine
husband
He exonerates Mrs Gertrude 2.
Paine and Miss Hutchinson from any
connection with the crime, and in con-
clusion criticises Mrs. Maria A. Hull
and censures Mrs. Burdick, the former
| for her attitude toward the authorities
and the inconsistency of her actions
with the theory that she had no knowl
edge Of the murder.
Judge Murphy stated this Afternoon
that he Will hold the inquest into the
death of Arthur r. Pennell the latter
part Of this week or the first of next
week.
The Burdick inquest has taught us
one thing said Judge Murohy. "and
that Is to hold such Investigations
promptly. The police court inquest is
the most natural machinery under the
law for investigating such matters.
Under 1t persons under suspicion can
be brought before a magistrate and
compelled to tell what they know.

mental persons to shout out against

partment has determined to treat the
Moros according to the policy adopted
for the government Of American In

tempt any reforms among the Moros.
Later, when the United States author
ity is more fully established, the grad

BOARDS FIGHT is OVER.
Buck Bill Last of Anti Control Board
Measures Defeated.

Mighty Is the board of control and
board its domain. Thehouse true TO
the promises it made in defeating the
Morley and Peachey bills yesterday
put the Buck bill in the legislative
waste basket.
The board of control emerges from
the long fight it has Withstood with
out feather ruff1ed and at the same
time the opposition has won a half
victory. For two years at least. the
board Of controls duties will not be
ightened by the loss of any Of the
institutions under it's management.
The defeat Of the Buck bill closed up
the fight for the present session.
The Buck bill which was passed by
the senate without debate, proposed
removal of the university, normal
schools and the schools for the deaf
and blind at Faribault from board Of
control management. 1t confronted
exactly the same chain of circum-
stances which defeated it's more COM
prehensive predecessors.
The friends Of the board Of con-
troll with the members of the board
wanted the university and normal
schools returned to the old system Of
management and no more. The en-
emies of the board of control scheme
wanted all or none out and in con-
junction with the men who believe the
Doard or control an excellent thing for
all state institutions proved too strong
for the bill.
Mr.. Burns made a strenuous effort so
to amend the bill that only the uni
VerSity and normals would be freed
but the house steadfastly refused tot
accept any amendment as it did with
the Morley and Peachey bills and in
the end turned down the whole thing
by vote of SO to "a. To make the
funeral complete motion to recon-
slider and lay the motion on the table

A WHITE ELEPHANT.

The United States paid SO 100000 to
Spain for the Philippine Islands with
its ten million Malays to have the key
TO the vast commerce of China. We
have spent s200,00O,0O0 on these Malay 5
to get trade, and Secretary Root row
tells congress that the revenues of the
islands are not equal to the expendi-
lures and congress must vote $1,000 600
as fund for these people. We get
$12 100000 per year in trade, and spend
$40 600, 900 per year to hold that trade.

WHAT HAS IT PROFITED THEM

Editor Gonzales is dead. Tillman's
bullet has done the work for which it
was moulded. The slayer is in jail.
His victim has gone into eternity. Two
homes are in ruins. One wife has been
widowed. The other-worst than wild
owed.
And all for what? Politics differ
ences of opinion that grew into fac
tional animosity political madness that
knew no reason; bitter personalities
revenge
Has the game been worth the candle?
Has either side anything to exult over?
In this sad hour, when the animosity
of these two men is hushed in the pre-
sence of death; when their differences
are .silenced by the wall of the widow
and orphans, how petty seems their
quarrel and how unnecessary the deed
that brought on all this misery and de-
spair.
Could either of them in their calmer
moments, unaffected by the consuming
malignant fever of politics, have willed
it so? Might not each have said the
world is wide enough for both? Did
they not owe it to their families and to
society to stifie their unreasoning, vir-
ulent rage before it consumed them
both?
And what is the end of it all? One
party to this conflict has been sudden
ly cut off-shot down unawares by the
man whom he hated and who hated
him. He at least, is now beyond
human judgment. Those loved ones
whom he left behind have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that he died bravely and
others besides themselves loved him.
His life-work itself, he left but half
| finished.
The other party to the conflict still
lives-if that be any satisfaction to him
or to those who loved him. He has
succeeded in depriving fellow crea-
ture Of his existence. But in doing so
he has not wiped away, but rather add
ed to whatever burden Of reproach may
have been his. Soon he, too, will be
Wondering in the dust.
Then only the memory of these two
men will live on. What we ask again,
has either gained by the conflict?

RAINBOW CHASERS.

country, and are moving on a "little

under the alluring promises that the
promised land of great opportunities
and wealth is still ahead like the bag
of gold at the end of the rainbow, they
never reach it. Others who have moved
to Texas, try one county one year and
then the next year move on to another
county, thinking surely they will find

SOCIAL EQUALITY.

President Roosevelt is determined
so far as he can, to break down all social
distinctions between negroes and whites
as far as his official life is concerned.
At the reception given by him to the
supreme court and the members of the
judiciary at the white house on last
Thursday night Judson Lyon and Dancy
and their wives, all negroes, were pres
ent as invited guests. A number of
Southern members of congress, with
their wives, left the reception when
they learned this. President Roose-
welt is trying to do the impossible and
will be the means of getting some i'm
pudent negroes into trouble when they
attempt to push themselves into other
places, as the teaching of Roosevelt's
social equality ideas may prompt them
to do.

Hereafter inter-islapd steamers will
be subjected to the same supervision
and inspection in the transportation Of
plants as the Board of Agriculture re-
ouires the larger trans-Pacific vessels.
AT the meeting of the Board yesterday
it was decided to draw UP regulations
for the control of the inter-island boats
in carrying plants, shrubs or vegeta-
ton of any kind. While no rule was
adopted it will probably be arranged to
have all plants fumigated and passed
by the government entomologists, and
eceptance of the freight by the steam
ship companies. The new regulation is
deemed to be necessary because Oh the
prevalence of blights on one island,
which have not reached some of the
other islands. A strict observance of
the rule would nave prevented the Maui
blight from being spread to the island
of Oahu.
w. M. Giffard called attention to the
need of such a rule in offering the fol-
lowing resolution:
Whereas: Section 5, Paragraph (b)
of Act "A entails upon this Board the
duty of providing ways and means of
exterminating such insect pests and
diseases as are liable to become inju-
nth taf
as are already in the Territory, and
Whereas: Section 5, Paragraph 8 of
the same Act provides that the Board
shall make rules and regulations Sub
ject to the approval of the Governor)
for and concerning the quarantine, in
spection, fumigation, disinfection, ex-
clusion or destruction at any time or
place within the Territory, of any soil,
nursery stock, tree sugar cane, plant,
fruit, vegetable or other vegetable
growth or substance which is or may
be infected or liable to assist in the
transmission or dissemination of any
or liable to become injurious to trees,
plants or other vegetation, and
Whereas: It is is further provided in
the Section and Paragraph aforesaid
that Rules and Regulations may be
formulated by the Board governing the
shipping and shipment between the diff
ferent islands of this Territory of the
specific article or class of articles above
enumerated which are liable to intro
