A Real Philanthropist.
AUNT JANE.

Several years ago l mentioasd
by name in this column what |
called a real philanthropist.
He was a man who took mortgages
on the bodies of the INDECENT
poor and, instead of plastering
then upon the remote generations,
burnt them in the lire, He is
doing the same good work today,
and finds intense enjoyment in it.
He goes from undertaken to
undertaken about once a month
and asks for the unpaid funeral
bills. If he can buy for 80 cents
on the dollar he does so; if for 70
cents, he does so; if for SO cents
he does 50. If he is asked to pay
in full he does so. The under
taker is required TO send u receipt
in full to the debtors, but with :
out mentioning the name of the
one who paid the bill. The
philanthropist understands we'll
the hard task it is fer the poor to
bury their dead decently, an d

the lower house of the Legislature
refused to permit Attorney Gen
eral Murphy to address the as
sembly in vindication of the four
n embers of the penitenhary
board, that gentleman has issued
an address of considerable length
to the public in which he deals
with the governors message as
delivered before the general as
sembly. In explaining the ap-
pearance of this address Mr.
Murphy says:
"To the people of Arkansas, their
Senators and Representatives:
The senate concurrent resolu-
ton, extending to the ma!lgned
members of the penitentlary
board the opportunity of refuting
in the invited presence Of th3
governor the slanderous chaIg S
of the document he calls his mes
sage, in the same hall and under
the same conditions under which
they were made, having failed IN
the house, it becomes necessary
to adopt other means for the ex-
posure of his falsehoods. NO
complaint is here made Of the ac-
ton of the house in this regard;
but it is difficult to conceive the
impropriesy Of meeting a libel IN
the same hall and in the same
body where it was published,
even though it be improperly
called a governors message
What sanctity or immunity this
name should carry with it for the
protection OF false and unwar-
ranted statements and insinua-
tions is impossible of definition.
If the archives of the world were
ransacked, no such document,
preserved as a state paper, would
be found. In it the governor,
wanting in manliness and courage
to confront those he wishes TO
wrong, takes advantage OF the
opportunity of sending a message
to the general assembly to vent
his spleen in cowardly insinua
tions and baseless charges,
Having done this, he seeks, by
every means in his power, tc
thwart the efforts of those he has
!. wronged, to get the truth to the
people. Notwithstanding the
failure of the senate resolution
his falsehoods shall not escape
exposure. am not done, either
with him or his so-called mes.
sage" *&*
After this explanation as to
whv the address is issued, Mr.
Murphy deals with that portion
, of the governors message rela-
, ting to the penitentiary boarc
! and the penitentiary management
without gloves. He characterize
, the governors charges and in
situations as falsehoods. Mr.
, Murphy declares Gov. Davis an

y tendent refused to do, giving a

POLICE STICK TO
WOMAN THEORY
Chief Bull Suspects the Same
Woman He Has All Along
Of BurdiCk's Murder.
(By Associated Prsss,)

BUFFALO,, N. r., March 2O.-superin-
tendent OF Police Bull said to-day that
his opinion as to who killed Edwin l..
Burdlck has not been changed at any
time since the tragedy.
"a woman killed Burdick," he declared.
"and suspect the same woman now
that did the day Of the murder. be-
leye Chief Cusack and the district at
torney arc of quite the same opinion"
The foregoing statement was made by
the superintendent in an interview deny
nying published report which quoted him
as saying: ut looks more like Pennell's
job than any time since the murder
Since BurdIck was murdered the police
have been trying to learn, among other
things, what kind OF a weapon was used
in the commission OF the crime. A golf
stick and tho missing cocktail bottle have
been considered. The latter Is now elm
mated from all consideration, DR., Dam
ger, the medical examiner, said this eve
ming that cocktail bottle never could
have made the wounds which killed Bur-,
dick. It Is possible, he said, for the
back of a Ratchet to have caused the
wounds. which, In his opinion, were made
with an instrument with a sharp edge,
and It Is possible that golf stick, such
as a puttor. could have made them.
Former District Attorney Thomas PEN
ny said to-day; mot dollar Of Mr., Pen
nell's life insurance will go to Mrs. Bur-
dick"
< Mr.. Penny made this statement in view
of the publication Of report that only
$25, 900 OF the enormous insurance carried
by Mr., Pencil was made payable to his
estate, The circumstances gave rise to
surmises that Mrs. Burdlck might be
chief beneficiary.
