SLEUTH TO SOLVE
BY Frank Parker Stockbridge.
Dead, in his "den," with his skull
crushed in-so they found Edwin L.
BUrdick on the morning Of Feb. %,
1903.
Not a trace of a weapon, no sign of
a strUggle-no clew but an opened
desk and some scattered papers. No
one had heard a sound nor could
anyone suggest motive for the
crime-at first.
Before the newsboys had finished
crying their ''wuxtrys" came another
revelation to shock the people of
Buffalo, already stirred by the mys-
ferrous murder of one of the most
popular and prosperous business men
of the city. Burdick, the day before
his death, had begun suit for di-
vorce-On the only ground for which
New York grants divorces and had
named as correspondent Arthur W.
PenneTl!
Here was scandal upon mystery!
Why, the two men were friends,
played gOu COgeCner-CneH wives
were friends. Mrs. Burdick, plain,
unattractive woman of forty, mother
of three children-hOW could she
have Iured the wealthy young lawyer
from his own charming wife of the
calm blue eyes and radiant presence?
The devotion of the Pencils was al
most a joke among their wide circle
of friends.
Questioned, Mrs. PenneIl confirm
ed her husbands statement that he
had retired early the night of the
murder, had risen early and gone to
Niagara Falls on business. He had
telephoned her from the Falls, asked
if there was any news in the papers,
expressed his horror at the awful
death of his friend, inquired if there
UaC aOv other news and had invited

eran chief of detectives, had talked
with the widow of the murdered man.
Others had seen just a dark, middle
aged, little woman-a home body"
but Pat Cusack looked beneath;
looked where banked fires shoulder
ed in her deep, dark eyes, fires that
this tracer of motives saw could be
famed into a wonderful blaze by
some one who knew how"
Everyone else had noticed and adj
mired the implicit faith and trust in
her husband which Mrs. Pennel had
shOWn-Pat Cusack had noted the
Preferential tenderness of Pencil
when with his wife, in marked con-
trast to his ordinary somewhat Gym
ical, self-centered manner.
Days passed, a week went by, an
other week was nearly gone. Scores
of investigators followed phantom
cIews. But uppermost in Pat Gu
sacks mind were the questions:
why was PenneII so eager to
learn if there was any news in the
papers? .-'.
What news was he eKpeoting?
"Did the opened desk and scatter
ed papers mean that BurdicIl's muir
derer was, seeking letters that would
have proved a husbands unfaitbful-
ness?"
The old detective measured the
mind of the man he suspected
shrewd, keen, calculating, cold. He
matched his wits against Pencils to
see if he could reason out a proof OF
the crime at the latter's hands.
A shrewd murderer chooses a
weapon he is NOT known to possess.
Pennell's revolver was in its usual
place at home-where Pat Cusack
expected to find it, although he had
made up his mind BUTdick's wounds
had been inflicted with a revolver
butt.
But he searched the gun stores and

MAY KEEP nine
SCHOOL BID.
State Board of Education to
Urge Legislation.

The number Of school commission
ers will remain at nine if legislation
fathered by the state superintendent
OF schools and urged by the State
Board of Education is passed. A
law reducing the number of mem
bers Of boards of education in this
state from nine to five will become
effective next month. Under its pro-
visions the number of commissioners
in this city will be reduced to five as
in other communities about the
state.
In event new legislation Is enact
ed to keep the boards as large as at
present, Mayor Garretson would
have the appointment of four school
commissioners. One of them would
most likely be Harry r. Wilson,
whom the executive has adjudged a
capable man for the position and
whom he appointed a year ago. Mr.,
Wilson did not serve. He gave way

DANGERS FROM
THE COAL DUST
Health Board Refer Copper
Works Nuisance to Counsel.

Under the auspices of the First
Ward Democratic Club, a petition
signed by about thirty residents was
presented at the meeting of the
Board of Health last night urging
that immediate action be taken 10
force the Raritan Copper Works 10
abate a damaging nuisance arising
from their smoke stacks. me petl-
ton related how many bad e1ects
the Goa dust which came from the
copper works had upon a great part
of the first ward and also OF the
second ward. 1t stated how not My
property was damaged, but the
health of all the residents and es-
peciaIly the babies was endangered.
That it was not safe to allow the
little children to play in the fields
or anywhere in the open in that sec
ton of the city where the coal dust
deposits was embodied in the petit
ton Clothes when hung on lines
after being washed were also so soil
ed as to need another washing.
The petition suggested hat II the
copper works procured the use OF
water sprayers, this nuisance could
be abated. The dust would drop
within the stacks If the sprayers
were used.
Albert Bran, secretary of the
First Ward Democratic Club, and
Emil Frey, another resident of the
First Ward, attended the meeting.
Each stated that If signatures were
needed to prove the desire of the
imperiled community, the petition
would be signed by nearly all con
cerned. The commissioners stated
that this would not be necessary and
decided to refer the matter to the
committee on the whole Mr.. Peter
on, who is chairman of the judi
ciary committee, will confer with the
boards counsel. Lawyer Jacob josef
son, on this matter, and action viii
be taken as soon as the boards
power in the matter Is understood.
Mr.. Bran and Mr.. Frey told about
the nuisance. They stated the coal
dust often accumulates in the eyes
of pedestrians on Madison avenue
and also is swallowed by many.
Because public school No. Z Is
near the copper works, this matter
will be given most immediate atten-
ton as it is claimed that many OF
the students are being effected by
the smoke nuisance.
