NO HOPE ENTERTAINED
FOR MRS. PENCILS LIFE
Her Husband Dead as Re-
suit of Auto Accident.

BUFFALO. March 11.-All Buffalo Is
aghast at the tragedy which occurred
last night. whereby Attorney Arthur
Pennen was instantly killed by his au-
tomobile dashing over a precipice and
his wife seriously and perhaps mortaIly
hurt
Dr. Mead house surgeon at the Sis
ters' Hospital. said at 9 O'Clock this
morning that Mrs Pencil is still un-
conscious and that It IS impossible TO
state her exact. condition. as she is too
weak and her vitality too low 20 allow
an examination.
From a reliable source comes the in
formation that Mrs. Pennell is dying
and that the surgeons are doing every
thing within their power to prolong her
life.
Many Persons Interviewed.
The detectives who have been at york
on the murder OF Edwin L. Burdick,
who was killed in his home on February
20. have seized upon the sudden death or
Attorney Arthur r. Pencil as an oc-
casicn for interviewing many persons
who have been mentioned in the case.
remotely or otherwise. Their action in
dicates that they hope to acquire valu
able information regarding the murder
as a result Of PennelTs death
When Chief of Detectives Cusack was
asked II the police, previous 20 the
death. had evidence in their possession
20 connect Pennell with the crime. he
said:
I'VE haven't enough evidence gath
cred to hold anyone. II we had I would
have slapped some one into Jail before
this. It's good deal easier 70 get evil
dence after you have some one arrested
than before"
He refused TO say whether PenneIl was
suspected. but said: We shall continue
the Burdick Investigation unless some
thing turns up through this accident 10
show that the dead man was guilty"
Dead Man Heavily Insured.
That Lawyer Pencil was a believer
in life insurance Is attested by the Dum-
Der OF policies be held in different com
panies In an Interview shortly after
the Burdick murder Mr. Pencil had re-
fused to discuss a published report that
he had taken out a large amount Of life
insurance during the past year.
That is purely a personal affair"
he said The truth OF the matter is
that most of the 5000 900 insurance Pen
nell is said 70 have carried. was placed
during the pact FIVE years The insur-
ance is nearly all OF the two kinds
known as twenty payment insurance and
ordinary life insurance. each OF which
kind affords a cash settlement at the
end OF twenty years.
The insurance was placed rs follows:
Travellers Insurance Company. SIS coo;

the head Of this corporation. is Il not
true that the vision OF these men who
are in the midst OF and absorbed by
these PROJECTS may become obscured and
that they do not see as clearly as
those who know comparatively nothing
OF them?
1T seems to me that the time has
come for conservative action. In 1850
the capital stock OF this company was

prOximatelv me same amount. Today
! there is $2O4 600, 600 stock and $40 .OOO,-

"As a stakeholder Of this company
and a great respecter OF its work and
policy Z should like to ask the great
men in control that the conservatism
and wisdom which have directed Its
policy in the past will in the future
control its development and manage
ment''
Vice President Green's Response.
Vice President Green was prompt to
assure Mr.. Spratt that the management
proposed 10 adhere TO a conservative
policy in the future. He said in part:
There is no intention to depart IN
any measure from the conservative
course heretofore pursued by this com
pany. Mr.. Spratt can dismiss from his
mind any fear that we are about to en-
bark on career OF reckless specuIa-
ton"
After further assurances of a like
character had been given by Vice Presi-
dent Green Mr.. Spratt seconded the res
oiution granting to the directors the
fright 10 increase the stock.
Captain Green. in explaining to the
stockholders the need of the great sums
which it is proposed to raise from time
to time. said;
Looking forward as well as human
saGacity can hook. IL seems that what
we propose to do should be done. and
that 1t should be done as quickly as
possible"
He then outlined in detail the great
betteTments proposed, which will in
volve in the Pittsburg district alone the
expenditure of $4,000. 900.
The great industrial advancement Of
the past two years." he continued, has
swept US away from our old moorings.
and it is impossible to continue along
the.old andl narrower lines"
Buying an Engine a Day.
Mr.. Green said that for the first time
in its history the Pennsylvania is unable
TO meet the demands made upon It. Vast
improvements have been made and are
contemplated in order TO furnish facili-
ties for handling the rapidly increasing
business. In the last two years the
company has purchased one locomotive
daily and a total OF 10000 freight cars.
The entire Pittsburg division is TO be
