TO Hold PenneII Inquest.

1t was the understanding today that the
inquest into the death of Arthur Pennell
will be held Immediately and that the YER
dict in the Burdick case will not be rem
dered until after the close of the Pencil
inquest, when both verdicts will be handed
down simultaneously.
Naturally, there has been considerable
speculation as to what the verdict would
be in the Burdick case. Under the new law
the police Justice has the right TO issue a
warrant at the close Of an inquest of a
murder case in the event that the evidence
brought out during the investigation is
sufficient to indicate the guilt of any par
ticular person, with sufficient clearness as
to make an indictment by the grand jury
reasonably certain.
1t is not thought possible that the court
will in this instance name anyone in any
warrant which he may see fit to issue. II
is possible, however. he may issue warrants
for the arrest Of John Doe and Jane Roe.
In that event the district attorney would
be obliged to submit the whole case to the
grand jury.

PhiIippinea Hemp Crop.

Information concerning the hemp crop
in the province Of Albay, Philippine Islands,
is to the effect that the output Of hemp in
March will be a little in excess OF Febru-
airy. The indications are for a small out
put in April, partly due to the disturbed
condition Of the western part Of the prov
ince. but largely due to the drought pre-
vailing there. Should the drought con-
tinue during April the output Of the prov
ince will be greatly decreased. 1t is ex-
pected that the monsoon period Of April
will bring rains which will relieve the sit
uation.
The cable communication with Governor
Taft on this subject was the result Of nu-
merous inquiries from hemp Interests in
