wreck occurred upon tha Great North

One waa at Lake view, West Kallapell,
where A. L. Selberg waa fatally in

killing one man, a bridge carpenter,
whose name la not obtainable, and bad
ly Injuring the conductor of the snow
plow. Mr. McQrevle, and his brakeman.
whose name la not known.
A snow slide over 200 feet long oc
curred and blocked the track completely.
Several slides occurred during the
day. causing extra crews to be sent east
during the afternoon. Two westbound
paaaenger trains are delayed by the
wreck.
Another freight train is reported to bo
wrecked in the mountains east of Kal
lapell. No other news regarding It is
obtainable.
Another wreck Is reported on the
Jennings branch. In which. rumor has it
the whole train left the track. It was
caused by a slide. It Is hard to obtain
any news about the wreck at this time.
Wrecking trains have been sent from
several points to clear away the debris
of tha several smashupa and surgeons
accompanied each train. There are
wild rumors of great loss of life, but
no confirmation of these can be ob
tained at this time. The railroad peo

have little news themselves.

1901 Mr. and Mrs. E. I Bur
dick and Mr. and Mrs. Ar
thur F. Pennell were intimate
friends.
1901 The relations between Bur
dlck and Pennell became
atrained.
1902, September Mrs. Burdick
left her husband and began
a suit for divorce, naming
three women, two under fic
titious names, as co-respond-dents.
Mrs. Burdlck's moth
er, Mrs. Hull, remained In
Burdlck's home to care for
tha children.
1902, November Burdick em
ployed private detectives to
watch his wife, and as a re
sult asked a divorce, naming
Pennell as co-respondent.
1903, January Mrs. Burdick and
Pennell are both absent
from the city and are be
lieved to have been together
at Atlantic City.
190S, February Pennell met Bur
dick and demanded that he
withdraw the suit for di
vorce in which Pennell waa
named as co-respondent.
1903. February 27 Burdick was
murdered In his home in Buf

to arrest the man and the

BUFFALO. March 13 Each succeed
ing day merely serves to deepen the
mystery associated with the death .of
Edwin Burdick and the tragic end of
Arthur Pennell.
Pennell was the co-respondent named
In Burdlck's suit for divorce. The
former was a young man of fashion who
was, aa far as any information has come
to light, devoted to his beautiful wife.
Mrs. Pennell had, however, cause to
complain of her husband's apparent
friendship for Mrs. Burdick and it is
believed this caused the divorce pro
ceedings. Pennell was killed a few
days ago while out in an automobile
with his wife. It Is believed by many
that the death of the young man was
due to design, and not to accident.
Three hours before he was killed Ar
thur Pennell was told that the police
had decided to arrest one of Burdlck's
murderers and that a messenger boy
would be able to identify him, Pennell,
as the mysterious man in evening
clothes who was seen to leave the Bur-
night

murder.
Did Arthur Pennell deMberntely steer
his automobile onto the rocks that he
and his wlfa might escape the torture
of remorse, or possible penalty of a
crime7
This is the question that the police of
this city ara asking each other, and an
attempt is elng made to unravel the
tangled threads of thj mystery along
these lines.
Buffalo society Is doing all It can to
throw obstacles In the way of the police
investigation and Is endeavoring to
cover up the tracks of the criminal, that
Its own rotteness, which has been
dragged Into the light by the murder
mystery, may not be exposed.
The will of the murdered man was
opened today. The testament leaves
all of Burdlck's wealth to his children.
His wife is cut off with )1.
Mrs. Plane, the badly wanted witness
in the Burdick case, who was followed
to Batavia, Java, by detectives, hus
accepted the summons' to appear in court
and will return to Buffalo to testify.

WASHINGTON. D. C, March 13 It
Was learned todny on the highest author
ity that the President yesterday told
several Democratic leaders if they In
sisted on tanking on an amendment to
the Cuban reciprocity bill requiring the
concurrence of the House before It could
become effective, he would hold himself
free to call an extra session of Con
gress. Congress, it is therefore believed,
will be called in the fall, should the
Senate program go through as outlined
at present, and the President also served
notice on the Senate leaders that he will
not accept the defeat either of the Pana
ma or Cuban treaties through the fail
ure to secure a quorum, but will lfold
the Senate in extra session until both
treaties are acted upon.
Thursday of next week will be chosen
by the Republicans of the Senate to
make the final vote on the Cuban re
ciprocity bill. It will be followed by
immediate adjournment. A proposition
will be submitted to the Democrats to
day, and if acceptable to them will be
adopted as the program of the Repub
lican steering committee. It was agreed
the Republicans should present a united
front against the acceptance of any
amendments to the Panama treaty. They
fear If any amendments suggested by
Democrats are adopted the treaty will
be endangered with the Colombian Con
gress. It was also agreed to.aecept the
proposed amendments of the Cuban re
ciprocity treaty, including one requir
ing the lower house concurrence. All
absentee -Republicans have been notified
to be in their seats Monday and Tues
day, when voting on the canal treaty
begins, so as to ensure the defeat of
the Democratic amendments and Insure
final ratification.
Since It was announced last week that
Saturday. March 14, would be the last
day that a 8 per cent, reduction would
be allowed on tax payments. The Jour
nal has received many communications
from working people containing com
plaints that, owing to the early closing
of the Tax Collector's office on Satur-
' rluvn thev Wdilhl hiarnm tinrrr1 titm
the saving of the 3 per cent. They stated
that their wages are not paid until after
6 o'clock at night. The Journal inter
viewed Sheriff Storey and laid the mat
ter before him, and he promised to ar
range for the last day in a manner that
would bring no hardships on the work
ing people. True to his word, the Sheriff
announces tomorrow's closing hour to be
at midnight.
There is a longer string of waiting
taxpayers in the corridors of the Court
House today than has been seen since
tax paying began, and Sheriff Storey es
timates that S 1,000,000 will be the record
when the books close tonight.
"Never before." says the Sheriff, "has
the disposition for early payment been
so good, and I anticipate very few de
linquents when the Collector's office fin
ishes for the term."
