Vene1ue las Wealth.

One of natures most generous en- dOwments to Venezuela is rubber, for which the demand of the world is in creasing, while the resources are by no means keeping pace with civiliza- tion's needs. With the wants of the world increasing in such enormous strides. it is only a question of time when the producing of rubber must be undertaken upon large scale and under regular methods of planting culture, and harvesting. Venezuela offers here a rich field to enterprise, for rudimentary as are the methods of the present, they produced 440,00O pounds from the Rio Negro and Or inoco valleys alone one year ago. Ex- plorers in the upper reaches of the Orinoco and Rio Negro have reported that there are availa ble about six mil lion rubber trees, counting only those within certain distance of navigable water. Every tree is good for about five pounds of crude rubber per an mum, making the possible annual out put of the two valleys 30, ,0O0 00OOpounds, At present it is no more than 40O,O00 pounds. If the tree survives the at tacks of inexperienced or improvident gatherers in it's youth, it is good for a century of productivity.-Pea on 8 Wealth.

Buffalo, \. Y, March 3o.-"If the
facts that have been learned in the
last two weeks had been known two
days after the Burdick murder, Ar
thur r. Pennell would never have lad
the, opportunity 10 go for that fatal
automobile ride. lie would have been
arrested at onees said Chief of De.
tectiyes Patrick " Cusack Monday
II the investigation into the eircum-
stances attending the death of Pen.
nell brings out an tho facts, the
things hinted at by Chief CGsack will
be laid bare, Part uf them are here
told. They come from official sources.
On the basis Of Cusacks alleged in
formation it can be said:
No seeker of love letters sent Ed
win F. Burdicll to his death
The hand that dealt the fatal blow
was guided by desperate purpose to
recover incrininatiug documents of
another sort-doeuments that would
have exposed system Of police cor.
ruption, of whiah Arthur II. Penner
was the John Doe.
1t is argued that Pennell's love for
Mrs. Burdick was in no sense a secret,
that his letters to her were not need-
ed by Burdiek toobtain a divorce for
the simple reason that the wife's let
ters, Pennell's lesers TO Mr.. Burdck
and even Mrs. PeAnell's letters to Mr.
Burdick were ample evidence.
But Pennell is alleged to have borne
relations with other persons that
could not stand the light of day. Pen
nell lived at the rate of 100000 a year,
a sum largely in excess of what he is
believed 10 have earned in his law
practice and collecting agency.
All this time Pennell was carrying
life and accident insurance amount
ing to $330,oo0
II is limited that Pennell was in the
John Doe" through whose hands
went bribes paid By law breakers for
immunity from prosecution. In sub
sanitation Of this theory il is point
ed out that pennefl was intimate with
the men who control things in Buffa-

Supreme Court Decisions.

At its sitting last week the Su-
preme Court reversed the celebrated
death sentence case of Joe Watt Fu-
gift, which has been hanging fire
in the courts for the past three
years. Fugitt is a white man who
was tried and convicted of the muir
der OF Ran Cunningham in Prentiss
county, and sentenced to be hanged,
despite the fact that he was defend
ed by the ablest attorneys in that
section of the State. Twenty-Five
suggestions of error were filed in
the Supreme Court appeal, and in
the opinion, read by Associate JUS
tice Price, the case was reversed on
account of the incompetency of
three Jurors.

BuRDicK INQUEST REoPESED.


and Il. G. II. King, of New York.
Buffalo, N. Y, March 30. The Bur-
dick murder inquest was reopened,
Monday, before Police Judge Murphy,
for the purpose of hearing the testi-
mony of Alexander ]. Quinn, the bar
tender of the Hotel Roland in New
York city, who, it is alleged, heard
Pennell threaten to kill Burdick, and
of +. G. II. King, the cashier of the
hotel. Mrs. Burdick stopped at the
Roland during her last visit,to New
York, and PennelI visited her there.
Both men declined to he interviewed
before the hearing began.
Alexander q. Quinn, the bartender
from New York, was the first witt
ness. He said he made the acquaint-
ance of Arthur X. Pennell early in
December last at the Hotel Roland.
Asked to relate the conversation he
had with Pennel at that time, Quinn
said: "Mr. Pennell first asked for a
time table, which was given to him.
Afterward he entered into CONVERSE
ton with the cashier and myself. Mr..
Pennell had several drinks. lie gave
me his card. During the conversation
he said:
/" You do not know what is passing
through my mind, boys. There is
one man ! could kill now, even IL /
hung for it,
Il remarked that this man must be
out of the state, as we have more inn
proved methods here now i saw Mr..
Pennell on the following morning,
when he bade me good-by."
rs there anything else you recall
OF the conversation between you,
Pennell and the cashier?'
Nothing except matter Of ordinary
conversation
F. q. II. King, former cashier of the
Hotel Roland, who was present during
the conversation related by Quinn,
was the next witness.
Detailing this conversation, King
said; "Pennell discussed picture
that was hanging on the wall of the
room, and after having a few drinks
he said: There is one man / could kill
although | might swing for IT,
~After having another drink ] pro-
posed toast, which was responded
to by Mr.. PenneIl. ! think he said:
Here's to death At the same time
he said he was having the greatest
time of his life, although it was at the
expense of another"
After King had identified picture
OF Pennell, Judge Murphy announced
the Bnrdiek inquest closed.

Mississippi State News
Judue Truly on Whitecappino.

In his charge to the grand jury
Of Amite county last week, Judge
JEFF Truly discussed the Whitecqp-
ping evil from the standpoint of
the farmers themselves. He point
ed out that the disturbance of la
bor and labor conditions was sui
eidal to the farmers and was, be-
sides, an unmanly exhibition of
prejudice and bitterness. Judge
Truly referred to the absurdity
of the puerile plea that there
is any danger of the negroes
ever becoming able to dominate
or dictate State affairs, or that
he would ever compete with
the white man as a land owner. The
white man, he said, controlled every
single branch Of the government;
be made and administered the laws;
every single officer in the legislative,
executive and judicial departments
are white men, and the control of
the white man extends even to the
ballot box itself, where the negro
is not only excluded from voting as
a mass, but must vote for a white
man if he does vote. The Judge
then paid his respects to the argu-
ment of danger of social equality,
which he said was an insult to the
women of the State. He said the
negro does not seek social equality.
"I have never" continued the judge,
"heard of a case where a negro tried
to force himself on a white church
or association, but | have tried and
sentenced white men who have de-
graded their social positions by at
tending negro associations. / have
never heard of a negro entering
white gambling house to participate
in the game, but | have had to pun
ish white men who were convicted
Of gambling in negro gambling
dens."
