his final acQuittal should give him the

INQUEST ENDS.
Murderer Not DiscoUered-Penneu
Inquiry on Monday.

Buffalo, March 26-The BurdCk inquest end
ed this afternoon and Judge Murphy announced
that an officiaknquiry into the death OF Arthur
r. PennelI would begin on Monday. Several
theories about the murder Of Mr.. Burdick nave
been developed to some extent in the course
OF the inquest but the only really tangible re-
suit Of the Investigation has been the clearing
away of the charges of immortality made against
the dead man Immediately after the crime was
discovered. The evidence has shown Mr.. Bur-
dick to have been a loving father, always will
ing to sacrifice his own happiness and pride Tor
his children and that he was forgiVing anu
induIgent husband in the face of broken pledges
and false Friendships
The efforts of the authorities to fix the crime
on some one will not end with the inquest, but
there is little hope of success. Judge Murphy
said after court adjourned this afternoon that
his Judgment in the case would not be handed
down until Monday, or perhaps later next week
1t is possible that he will issue warrants for
John Doe and Jane Doe. In that event the Dis
trfct Attorney will be obliged to submit the
whole case to the grand jury.

Washington, March a6.-It has been settled that
Colonel George H. Burton will be the next inspec-

probably be made officially in a few days TheFe
has been good deal OF speculation over the ap-
pointment, which some army officers thought would
not be made at all. It was known that Secretary
Root in favor of abolishing the inspector-Seh-
erals department. and of his most urgent
recommendations to Congress at the last session
that vacancies in the corps should not be ned'
IT was his idea that the general stan should dis"
charge the duties OF inspectors. This created the
Impression that when the vacancy occurred in the
head Of the corps Mr.. Root would ask the PRESIDENT
not to make an appointment. Mr.. Root, however,
in favor of having Lieutenant Colonel 3. =.
Mills appointed as head Of the> corps, and retiring
s brigadier generals Colonels Burton ana r. L.
Vroom the senior coones, 1t developed that Lieu
tenant Colonel Mills refused to be candidate or to
apply for the place and Colonel Vroom was willing
to go on the retired list brigadier general He
will be promoted TO that grade and at once be re-
tired and Colonel Burton will become inspector
general. This will promote Lieutenant Colonies
r T Knox and S. c. Mills to colonels. The former
will at once go on the retired list. and this Will
promote Lieutenant Colonel John L. Chamberlaln
to a coonecy. The head of the corps and the 1ouF
