assume that one so young and inexpe- rienced, with no higher degree of intel- ligence, should have displayed such adroitness as was apparent in the eva sion of the comparatively omnipresent news detectives. ...4 ses,-#r.
 When we take carefully into account the very suspicious course pursued in ventilating the facts in this caseit was not difficult to see the great want of a serious desire to discover the ac- tually guilty party. The think ing public should not only de- mand a thorough investigation but an explanation of the trusted keep CTS of the prisons as to the reason why it was necessary that young Perry should die. If this natural end is not the result of natural causes, the great state Of Massachusetts owes it to itself to investigate with the greatest scrutiny possible the sanitary condition of the prison and whatever condition that may deserve its attention.
 Tt should be understood that no statement of the prosecuting attorney which falls short of an establishment of actual facts satisfied theimind of an intelligent public when so much is in- volved. I venture further to say: The credence given to the dying statement of a delirious mind should be of the slightest character, especially when the circumstances surrounding the case are attended with so much peculiar ity." @. .~*-

CONSTITUTIONAL ELECTION.
Woman Suffrage and isious menta-

Manchester N. H., March 10--A gen. eral vote was taken throughout the state to-day in connection with the an- !nual town meetings and municipal elec- tions in several of the cities on ten pro posed amendments to the constitution, and, although the complete vote will not be known for several days, suffi- cient returns were received tonight to indicate that nearly, all of them had been adopted. ,>, ,... ..,-,. a. Woman suffrage, however, received scant favor, being defeated by a. vote of almost two to one, while a similar fate was meted out to the so-called re- ligious amendment to strike out the word Protestant" and substituting that of Christian" in that portion of the Bill of Rights permitting towns to appropriate money for religious socie- ties. .
 Strangely enough, the proposition to divide the state into smaller voting precincts was also rejected, although g. majority of the vote favored it, as they did the religious amendment, both fail ing adoption through lack of the neces- sary two-t thirds.
 On the other hand, the antitrust amendment giving the legislature pow CT to enact laws to prevent corporations from raising prices and stifling compe- tition was adopted by large majority

SCENE AT PERRY FUNERAL.
Investigation fnto Young Murderer's
 Death Demanded

Investigation fnto Young Murderer's
 Death Demanded.
 Boston, March 10.-A controversy be- tween Mrs. Conway, mother of George l.. O. Perry, the confessed negro mur- derer of Clara A. Morton and Agnes McPhee, who died in Cambridge jail of physical exhaustion following fever, and Rev. William Fickland of the Charles street Methodist church (color- ed) was an unexpected incident of the funeral of Perry to-day.
 The clergyman had prepared state- ment which he wished to read, expect ing that the public would be admitted to the service. Mrs. Conway, however, had determined on private service and after discussion with MT. Fickland she had her way. MT. Fickland later made public his statement. In it he demand ed an investigation of Perry's treat ment in jail and an investigation to de- termine whether or not the young mans death was due to natural causes.
 The funeral service was held at the undertaker's room in the South End. At the hour set fully 1000 persons were gathered in the vicinity, but only fifty individuals, who held tickets, were ad- n1itted.
 The service was opened with a solo, after which Rev. MT. Fickland offered prayer. The hymn Nearer. My God, to Thee" was sung, and MT. Ficlkland made a few remarks in place of deliver ing the statement he had prepared.
 Rev. Robert Walker, pastor of the Church of the Ascension, West Cam bridge, then spoke, and offered prayer, and Rev. MT. Fickland pronounced the committal service. The body was in a white casket and on top was a bououet of pinlSs and roses.
 In his statement Rev. MT. Fickland said:
 "The sad occurrence of the death of the deceased and the serious chain of circumstances connected herewith bring me under obligations to the pulp lie. Scarcely could a more serious thing have happened than this. While very much of Greater Boston may feel that it has 8 new lease of life because of the sad occurrence, it should be for cibly reminded that this belief is sim ply the result of imaginary deliverance from the hands of the ruthless; that the more reserved of intelligent citizens still feel an anxiety for the safety of society. For the commission of crime it's perpetrator may be either young or old, experienced or inexperienced, but for it's concealmept certain degree of maturity of mind is of absolute neces-. sity. It is, therefore, not reasonable to

 The police commissioners held a spe- cial meeting last evening for the pur- pose of trying Policeman John Stan ford. Stanford was charged with being off duty without permission, third of fense. On February 14, 15, F, IS, 19. 2I zS, "A and 25 he failed to report, although repeatedly notified to do so by Chief Wrinn and Captain Brewer, of Station 2. On February 25 he was suspended and notified to appear before the police board. The reason he gave last even- ing for not reporting for duty was that he fell down stairs at his home and got black eye, which kept him in the house. He was dishonorably discharg- ed from the police department after the trial.
 Sergeant Jotham Orr was retired on half pay, $45 a month, by his own re- quest, and his pension starts to-day.

CHOLERA ON ANCHOR LINER
SIX DEATHS AT SEA ON THE
 KARAMANIA.

Vessel With 733 Passengers Quaran-
 tined ut New York Symptoms in the
 Cases of the Victims Give Every Iudt-
 cation That They succumbed to
 Plague All Aboard tho Vessel to De
 seut to Ho1fmnn lsiand.
 New York. March 10.-Six strange deaths at sea aboard the Anchor line steamer Karamania from Marseilles, Palermo and Naples, caused that ves- sel to be detained at quarantine to-day and Health Officer Doty after an exam ina tion said the symptoms were so sim liar to those of cholera that the ship would be thoroughly disinfeeted and it's 7S3 passengers and the crew sent to Hoffman Island to remain there until the health officer positively knows they are free from infection. The bodies were buried at sea and the meagre re- ports of the ships doctor increased Dr. Doty's suspicious. Each of the six victims died in conyulsions following an attack of nausea and cramps. The Ka- ramania once before has had cholera, aboard.
 Health Officer Doty gave out the fol- lowing statement:
 From the meagre report of the steamers doctor I regard these cases as very suspicious. We have no cases to examine, and as the bodies were bur- jed at sea all the evidence obtainabIe was the doctors notes, and statement giving the history of the cases. All the symptoms, nausea, cramps and sudden collapse and death are so similar to those of cholera that propose to treat the vessel, crew and passengers as if it were certain. The vessel will be thor oughly disinfected, the passengers, 7SS in number, transferred to Hoffman's isl- and, and the crew after the vessel is docked, will also be taken to Hoffman S Island. These people will be detained there until I can positively know that they are free from infection. This course is pursued because of the suspicious characters of the deaths and the ab- sence. of evidence of the cause. No per- son on board the Karamania appears to be able to account for the outbreak"

St. Louis, March 10.-The announce ment by United States District Judge Adams of the date on which he will hear arguments on the motion to dis solve the Wabash injunction, defers the crisis at least another week. Tuesday, March IT, is the day set for the hear ing.

Blodgett, general solicitor of that road, stated that sev- eral days would be needed to prepare the papers. The court granted counsel until Saturday morning to file excep- tions to the argument and counter affi- davits in support of the bill of com- plaint.

WILL FIGHT IT OUT.
British Government wan Stick to New
 Army Measure.

London, March 1O.-The House of Commons to-day, in committee of the whole. commenced the debate on the army estimates. War Secretary Brod- rick began by fiatly announcing that the government intended to fight it out on the proposition to make the estab- lishment, 235,761 men of all ranks, as being question of an effective force, notwithstanding the attacks heretofore made on it from both sides of the houses of parliament. The empires de- mands were ever increasing. and the proposed establishment would not be found excessive for the colonies, from tiers and for home defenscs in the event of the country being called upon to defend the frontiers, which was al- ways liable to occur.
 After a short debate on an amend ment to reduce the establishment by 27,000 men the discussion was ad- iourned.

jared-PenneII a Yale Graduate.

Buffalo, March 10-Ghastly as was he death of E. L. Burdicls, a doubly- gruesome tragedy occurred at about 5:45 o'clock this afternoon, when Ar thur R. Pennell, the young lawyer, one of the chief figures in the investigation of the Burdick murder, was hurled headlong to eternity. MT. Pennell was out riding in his electric automobile with Mrs. Pennell. They were on Ken singtOn avenue, near Fillmore avenue. skimming along the edge of the Gehres stone quarry, which is huge rock ribbed hole in the ground on the right side of the avenue going out. MT. Pen nell's hat blew off. The automobile swerved, and in some inexpIicable man. ner it Ieaped over the curb into the abyss below Pennell was killed in- stantly his head being crushed to an unrecognizable mass. Mrs. Pennell was injured so severely that the sur geons at the Sisters hospital, to which she was taken, said her chances of re- covery were very slight
 Two boys saw the tragedy. They were too far away to know positively just how it happened. Mrs. Pennell when found was unable to speak. She was only semi-conscious when taken to the hospital and could speak no coherent words. After the operations performed immediately by Dr. Eugene Smith in the hope of saving her life she lapsed into unconsciousness, and hence there can be no true version of precisely how the accident occurred.
 aII IEF Ia fY,t ttA At1-- tin building at 4:05 o'clock this after noon. He went to his home, POS Cleve- land avenue. A friend who called up Mr. Pennell on the telephone about 5 o'clock was informed that MT. Pennell was in, but that he was just going out for a drive He informed the friend that he would be back between 6:30 and ' o'clock, and made an appointment with him for that hour.
 Would o'clock do?" he was asked. ''Oh, well, you might come at 6 o'clock, but you better make it later" said MT. Pennell. Those were the last words Penneli was known to speak to any one ex- cept Mrs. Pennell save that he went back to the stairs and called out to Lizzie Romance, the maid: 'ldzzle,s We will be back between 6 and 7o'clock. Then he went out and lie and Mrs. Pennell went away in the automobile. It was his last ride.
 It was learned tonight that the mat ter mentioned in the telephone talk was something he considered most se- rious and which weighed heavily upon
 him. It was in connection with the Burdick case.
 To reporter some days ago he said:
 About this case of Burdick. l have told the authorities l went away to New York before the murder and that I met Mrs. Burdick while I was away.
 In fact I saw Mrs. Burdick near New York two or three days before the mur- der of Mr Burdick. I came home again Wednesday, the day before the murder. I have told it frankly and the meeting

AMERICAN ICE GO. TROUBLES
SERIOUS OPPOSITION TO MAN
 AGEMENT DEVELOPS.
A Large Deficit shown at Yesterday's Meeting in Jersey City-.Crittclsm Causes President Schoemm maker to Ask Investigation -- Considerable Stock Held in New Haven.

New York, March 10.-At meeting of
 the shareholders of the American Ice
 company at Jersey City to-day a report
 was presented showing that on Decem-
 Der 31, 1902, there was deficit of $162,-
 493 against surplus of $658,s70 on De-
 cember 31, 1901. Opposition to the pro-
 gramne of the present management de- |veloped when John A. Sleicher was
 elected chairman of the meeting instead of John D. Schoenmaker, proposed by the management.
 John J. Bright, of Boston, one of the three men who formed the Boston Ice company, read letter from his neph- CIV, Elmer H. Bright, of Boston, which stated that the Boston Ice company is
 being used to it's detriment for further ing the interest of an independent com pany. The writer asserted that the
 business of the American Ice company in Boston is being turned over to an in-
 dependent company of which two prom inent men of the American Ice com- pany are said to be the principal own CTS.
 President Schoenmaker, of the American Ice company said that the sales of the Boston Ice company for the year 1902 showed as little or less falling off than any other constituent company of the American Ice company, also that the sales of the Boston Ice company for February were larger than
 for February, 1902. The falling off in
 the Boston business last year. he said,
 was due principally to the temperature | then prevailing.
 The election of a board of directors resulted in the success of the regular ticket as follows:
 John R. Bennett, I. o. Blake, Oren Dennett, E. D. Haley, R. w. Hopkins,
 Henry H. Head, D. W. Hunt, c. w.
 Morse, Westly w. Oler, John D..
 Schoenmaker, and Robert A. Scott. A
 motion to appoint committee of five to investigate the affairs of the com-
 pany was last by an amendment being | adopted to place it on the table. A mo-
 tion to ratify the acts of the officers of the company during the past year was adopted.
 At a meeting of the stockholders after the regular session President Schoen- | maker introduced a resolution provid- ing for an investigation into the busi- ness and affairs of the company, which was unanimously adopted. MT. Schoen-
 maker said that he did not like the way
 in which the earlier resolution had been presented, and that his resolution was offered as a substitute. He further
 stated that the officers of the company courted the fullest investigation.
