Guiding large body of Masons. and as
the weather was perfect the scene was
pretty one.
The President began his address by
thanking the people and the soldiers
for his enjoyable two weeks holiday,
and then spoke Of the natural wonders
of the park.
THE Yellowstone park" he said. ''is
something absolutely unique in this
world, as far as | know. Nowhere
else in any civilized country is there to
be found such a tract of vertable Won
derland, made accessible to all visitors,
where at the same time not only the
scenery of the wilderness, but the wild
creatures of the park, are scrupulOus-
ly preserved as they were. the only
change being that these wild creatures
have been so carefully protected as to
show literally astounding tameness

SUPREME COURT
DECLINES CASE

Denver, April 25.-In the suit of The
News-Times Publishing Company VS..
State Auditor Holmberg and State
Treasurer Newton, to test the validity
of tlre long appropriation bill, the Su-
preme Court yesterday declined to take
original jurisdiction.
The case was filed at once in the Dis
trict Court.
The reason for the refusal of the Su
preme Court is that the attorney gen.
eral cannot admit the facts in COM
plant, which would have the effect of
declaring the law unconstitutional, and
that it would probably be necessary to
take proof The court would have to
call up clerks and others. providing it
determined that the facts as pleaded
we're sufficient to declare the law in
valid.
In stating the decision of the court.
Chief Justice Campbell said
This will not occasion very great
delay, and may help to facilitate mat
ters. for if some questions of fact were
raised after the case was started, the
whole thing would have to be gone
over again.
As the result of the decision of the
Supreme Court, Attorney Hawkins yes
terday afternoon filed a complaint in
the District Court in which the same
allegations as those contained in the
complaint filed in the Supreme Court
were set forth The title of the case
is The News-Timcs Publishing Com
pany and others similarly situated VS..
John A. Holmberg. auditor of state,
and Whitney Newton, state treasurer.
An injunction is prayed for enjoin-
ing the defendants from auditing and
cashing the warrants issued against
the long appropriation. illegally
passed by the Legislature"
The suit brought in the District
Court is practically the same as was
brought before the Supreme Court"
said Attorney II. N. Hawkins yester-
day. The Supreme Court. in denying
the application for original jurisdic-
ton stated that the case would prob
ably be taken up promptly by the Dis
trict Court, and that it would get into
the Supreme Court almost as quickly
as though original jurisdiction had
been taken, The matter will be pushed
as speedily as possible"

Denver, April ga Republican
special from Golden last night says:
In the District Court here to-day be-
fore Judge De France, II. H. Tammen,
Robert Schrader and Daniel j. Sad
lier pleaded guilty to the charge of
embracery. A plea of nolo contendere
was entered by Police Magistrate w.
j. Thomas, who was charged with a
similar offense. The pleas of the de-
Gendants are practical admissions of
attempting to bribe the jury in the An
derson case in the West Side criminal
court nearly two years ago
The three defendants who pleaded
guilty were sentenced to pay fine of
800 each and to serve twenty-four
hours in the county Jail of the city and
county Of Denver They will also pay
the costs of the suit. The pleas of the
defendants were entirely unexpected,
and there were but fee people in the
court room at the tilne
The formality of reading the indict-
ment was waived by Attorney Milton
Smith. Tammen and Sadlier came for
ward and stood before the Judge. Mr..
Talbot, addressing the defendants,
said: "Mr. Tammen and Mr.. Sadier,
you are charged with the offense of
embracery. Are you guilty or not
guilty?"
For moment Tammen hesitated,
and then with downcast eyes and a
flushed face he answered slowly but
distinctly, Guilty" Sadlier made a
similar answer. The two men were
about to walk to their seats when they
were recalled by Judge De France.
who informed them that the plea of
guilty had practically the same effect
as a conviction of the offense. DO

to be served at once. This ends the
case until May 5th. Then the court
will hear the statement of the mem
bers of the old board and will permit
the attorneys to argue the case. 1t is
possible that briefs will be filed, but
this need not necessarily be the pro-
cedure.
Only one proviso was made by the
court. That is that no questions OF
fact be raised. The court itself will
draw the line. Such questions cannot
be raised because the court will not
take testimony.
The information that was submitted
to the court several days ago reviews
the case briefly. 1t includes the letters

MYSTERY HAS
GROWN DEEPER
A. R. Pencil, Conspicuous Figure in
RuTdick Murder Case. Is Sudden
b Killed Injured.
Believed TO Be Case OF SUICIDE.

Scripps-McRae Telegram.
Buffalo, March 11.--Arthur r. Pen
nell, one of the most conspicuous fig
ures in the unsolved Burd.ck mystery,
was killed Tuesday evening in an auto
slnashup on the outskirts of the city.
His machine dashed over 30-foot
embankment into stone quarry, over
turning in the descent and pinning
him lifeless against the Jagged rocks.
Mrs. Pennell, her husbands COM
panion, was hurled from the machine,
terribly injured, and now les in q
critical condition at the Sisters OF
Charity hospital.
Penuell's death is believed by tho:e
who have given close study to the
Burdick mystery to have been dclib-
crate suicide. The belief OF suicide Il
based on the fact that during the last
"a hours information has been re-
ceived strongly duplicating Pennell in
the Burdick case.
This information showed that Pea
nell had met Mrs. Burdick in New
York on the Tuesday before Burdick
was murdered, and that Mrs Burd.cl
sent an important telegram to hel
mother after she had discussed heI
husbands divorce case with Pennell
DIR. Meade, house surgeon at the SIS.
ters' hospital said at 8 o'clock th.s
morning that Mrs. Pennell was still
unconscious and that it was impo. 81
BILE to state her exact condition, al
she was too weak and her vitality to.
low to allow an examination.
From reliable source comes the in
formation that Mrs. Pennell Is dyinl
and that the surgeons are doing every
thing within their power to prolont
her life.
A man named Van Nostrand, /,
New York detective, arrived here to
day. He had been sent for by Pennel
to work on the Burdick case. HI
knew nothing Of Pennell's death til
he reached Buffalo.
Pennell said he had been hOupdet
by the police but knew nothing Of th'

At an expense of millions Of dol

into Pittsburg, connecting the city By
direct lines with the sea coast, the
Great Lakes and the Middle West.
Directly the Wabash will connect
with the Wheeling & Lake Erie near
Jewett, O., by the shortest line pos
sible for railroad right of way, while
as spurs to the main line, branches
will run south into Washington,
Greene and Fayette counties, into
West Virginia by two separate lines
and into Maryland via cross-country
lines from Parkersburg and Fairmont,
which reach the present line of the
w. Va. Central, and from Cumber-
land, the eastern terminal Of the pres
ent line, plan to reach tide water at
Baltimore or Norfolk, possibly both.
OPENS NEW FIELDS.
Westward the line runs direct to
Toledo and Cleveland on the lakes,
north to Buffalo and Detroit and west
to Chicago, the metropolis of the Mo
die West; st. Louis, on the Mlssis-
sippi, Kansas City, Mo-; Omaho, Neb.,
and Des Moines, la list of cities
representing all the characteristic, in

From the intersection of the new
line known as the Pittsburg, Toledo

Erie railroad, q few miles southeast
of Jewett, the road opens up a section
of country rich in coal which has only
been worked In a small way for farm
ers or in small mines near the towns,

and will add town after town to that
section of Ohio and Western Pennsyl-

RIVALS OF WEST VIRGINIA.
The jefferson county coal fields OF
Ohio promise to be strong rivals OF
those of West Virginia once they are
brought into touch with a marke'.
Two veins, known as No. Z and No
8, of excellent bituminous coal arc
found in this tract, the first lying
high in the hills and outcropping in
many places, facilitating work by
drifting and being at a height to
make easy loading by trestle into cars
This vein is the one now worked and
has been the first sold, top vein bring
ing from s25 to $40 per acre, accord
ing to location.
Very little coal land in this sect'on
of the state is now in the market a:
most OF it has been bought up by
Cleveland and Toledo capitalists, who
will, on the completion of the line
open up mines and bring the coal in
to the lake trade.
