Fugitive From London, of Course, Has

NEW YORK, March 16-Whitaker
Wright, arrested yesterday at the re-
quest of the London police, was ar
raigned today before United States
Commissioner Alexander. Miss Flor
ence Browne, who arrived with him
yesterday, went to the office of United
States Marshal 5HenkeI with her coun-
sci. She was not prisoner She
said shessFas the niece Of Wright, but
knew nothing about his financial af-
fairs. Wright made a statement in
which he said:
Il shall waive all extradition formal
tiles and go back to England as soon
as the government natures all ar
rangements. This story about the
amount of money lost is all bosh. The
amount lost altogether did not exceed

BURDICK'S DAUGHTER
ON WITNESS STAND
Miss Marion Throws No Light Upon
the Murder.

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 16.-Miss
Marion Burdick, the sixteen-year- old
daughter of the late Edwin L. Burdick,
was the most interesting witness at the
inquest before Judge Murphy today.
Like Mrs. Hull, she volunteered no in
formation. She answered in mono
syllables whenever possible. She was
not easily confused and there was no
sign of agitation or emotion when the
district attorney questioned her close
ly regarding the events that occurred
at the time her father was murdered.
Mr.. Coatsworth began by speaking
kindly to the girl and carefully choos-
ing his words in putting questions to
her. Later he fired questions in rapid
succession, all of which were met with
replies both sharp and decisive At
oneA time when the district attorney
asked the same question several times
the girl caused a murmur in the court
room by raising her voice sharply in a
clear emphatic Il don't know"
Nothing of Importance was elected
from her While she was on the stand,
and the district attorney finally gave
her up in despair. She said that
Grandmother Hull first informed her
that her father was i'll in his den, be-
fore DR.. Marcy arrived, and before Mrs.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-03-17

Hull knew positively, according to her
own testimony that it was Burdick's
body lying on the couch. The district
attorney tried to get Marion to tell
why she apparently took so little in
terest in her fathers illness when she
was told of it by her grandmother.
Marion replied that she knew that
when it was proper for her to know,
Grandmother Hull would tell her. She
loved her father and he had always
been good to her, but she would not
admit that there was anything wrong
in her not inquiring about his illness or
that she should have done differently
Marion admitted that she knew OF
the divorce proceedings instituted by
Burdick against her mother. She SYM
pathiZed with her father, but would
not admit that she thought he was
right in driving her mother from home.
Neither would she admit that she knew
of her mother meeting Arthur r. Pen
nell.
Dr. William NJ. Marcy, the family
physician and the first person to see
the dead body after the murderer COW
cred 1T up, was the first witness of the
day. DR.. Marcy admitted that he told
DR.. Rowland, the medical examiner,
that If it was suicide or looked sui
ctdal it would be all the better for the
family to make it out a case of suicide.
Later he agreed with DR.. Rowland
that the suicide theory was untenable

public not to let the municipal council

furnish the city with gas. Scores of
workmen spent Sunday afternoon in
FASTING the appeal throughout Paris.

Some, score Of leaders of anti-for-

the Americans are convinced matters
have gone too far for the council to
retreat. Every condition demanded by
the project has been agreed to and the
Americans have offered prices one

bia Court of Appeals.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 16.-
Miss Bee" Taylor's petition for a
writ of mandamus to compel the sec
rotary of war to reinstate her as clerk
in his department, was dismissed to-
day by Judge Bingham in the supreme
court of the District of Columbia. At
the same time the secretary's demur-
rer to- Miss Taylor's bill of complaint
was oYerruled, and this disposes of the
case so far as the lower court is con-
cerned. Miss Taylor was present and
Immediately noted an appeal to the
court of appeals of the District of
Columbia.
The substance of Justice Bingham's
decision was that the court had no
Jurisdiction. In support of this he
cited decisions by the United States
district courts and by the supreme
court of the United States. He said
that the power to- appoint inferior Of
hcers was vested in the president and
heads of departments by the civil
service law; The power of dismissal
and appointment tWere purely execu-
tive functions, Which courts could not
supervise Or control, provided the civil
service law had been complied with.
AS to the failure{ of the secretary to
comply with all the civil service rules
In the matter of notice, etc, Justice
Bingham said that that was a mere
matter Of detail in which the main fact
at issue was not affected.
In commenting upon the article
which Miss Taylor wrote and which
appeared in the local papers, Justice
Bingham said that the clause in the
constitution guaranteeing the right Of
free speech and press did not guaran-
tee license. He held that Miss Tay-
lor's article rejecting on the presi-
dents Philippine policy was so far In
advance of anything ever intended by
our forefathers when they inserted the
liberty of speech provision in the con-
stitution as to be regarded as license"

MAN CUT IN TWO

James Cummings, Potato Buyer, Falls
Between Cars.

James Cummings, apparently thirty
years of age, was killed by a Northern
Pacific freight train near Hugo, in the
western part of the county, and his
remains were brought to Sam Belisle's
morgue in this city, where they await
Identification from relatives or friends.
The man, who was evidently a potato
buyer, was in charge of a car of po-
tatoes from Hinckley to st. Paul, and
was riding in the cabooSe. The con-
ductor, who was sitting in the locker,
felt lurch as if the cabooSe had pass
ed over something, and when he came
down he found that Cummings was
gone. The train was stopped and
backed and the mans body was found
on the track. the caboose having pass
ed over him and cut him in two. He
had evidently intended to climb upon
5 a freight car, and slipped and fell.
No one knows where his home is.

Senate Refuses All Amendments to
Anti Trading Stamp Bill.

Anti radinq Stamp Bill.
The Jepson bill, designed to abolish
the trading stamp from Minnesota, was
recommended for passage by the SEN
ate yesterday morning. An attempt
to except from the bill merchants who
give their own prizes or coupons was
made, but Senator Jepson and the
friends of the measure urged the SEN
ate to reject all amendments, and the
attempt failed by a vote of - to IL.
There was barely quorum present
when the senate went into cOnIn1ttee
of the whole, and it was generally ex-
pected that Senator JepSon would
postpone the consideration of his bill.
The senator from Hennepin may
have contemplated this, but before he
could secure the floor for the purpose
of making a motion, Senator Morgan
presented an amendment, and the de-
bate opened.
Senator JepsOn heard the amend
ment read, and heard Senator Nor
gan explain that it was intended mere
ly to except from the bill the mer-
chant who might want to give pair
of SuspenderS with pair of pants or
pair of pants with the SuSpenderS.
The explanation gave the amendment
an innocent appearance, but the au-
thor of the bill refused to take chances
and without any explanations for the
objection he protested, and asked the
friends of the measure to reject all
amendments
Senator Horton defended the amend
ment and criticised the author of the
bill for attempting to pettifog his
measure through the senate without
explanation.
Senator Horton declared he was not
for the trading stamps, and would vote
for the bill if the amendment was
adopted. He did not believe the law
would stand in the courts, but as his
constituents wanted it, he was willing
to vote for it provided it was amend
ed as it should be.
Senator Johnson spoke for the coun-
try merchants, and urged the rejection
of all amendments. The bill as amended
might do for the cities, but in the
country the merchants wanted all gift
enterprises abolished.
Senator SOmerVille, as the head of
the judiciary committee, explained that
the proposed law might stand and de-
MED Senator Horizons claim that the
trading stamp people cared so little
about the measure that they even fail
ed to appear and argue its merits be-
fore the committee.
Senator Wilson declared the trading
stamp company was but another form
of the get-rich-quick concern He
claimed that stamps created unfair
competition, and compelled the mer-
chants who did not carry the little
slips to secure them. This the sena-
tor declared must send the prices up
and the consumer paid for it.
The motion to adopt the amendment
was lost, IL to 81, and Senator Haw-
klns alone called mo" on the vote to
recommend the bill for passage.

motion would have to come from some
senator voting for the resolution when
it was passed.
What proof have you that did not
vote for IT, asked Senator Cooke.
The journal, does not show anything
to the contrary"
The motion was permitted, and Sen
ator Wilson explained that while he
was in favor of sending the state
troops to st. Louis he did not believe
that the senate had granted the per-
mission in the proper manner. Senator
Cole, author of the resolution, thought
that the method pursued was cor
rect and proper, and at his suggestion
the senate defeated the Cooke motion.
Senator Cooke then attempted to
block the value of the resolution by a
motion to have the journal corrected,
and here quoted several sections of
the constitution, which would compel
the belief that he was in the right,
but the motion, like the preceding one,
was turned down.
