Building, Corner Sixteentb and Douglas Sts brought into evidence and said that it was his understanding Stuefer would take it for granted that the committee meant to fn- clude these when it called for the ocertifi- cates of deposit. 3 The committes did not bring out any- thing about the exact amount of money Stuefer had deposited In the West Point National bank, of which he was president at the time of this bond deal. That will be one of the points at issue at future hearings. A number of Burt county citizens were down today and will remain to testify be- fore ‘this commlittes. Some of the com- mitteemen have expressed themselves as dotérmined o Bave no “whitewashed" affair, of this investigation. It seems to be their purpose ‘to. get dt the facts so that the blame may rest where it belongs, and no appropriations shall be made by the legisla- ture that are not warranted. Protest on Gilbert Former Deputy County -Attorney Lysle Abbott was in Lincoln today on legal busi- ness, and, incidentally called upon Gov- ernor Mickey to protest against H. R. 235, the Gilbert primary election bill, which has passed both housds and is now i the hands of the governor. | Mr. Abbott said:the bill was a dangerous -instrument and should never become & law. “It strikes at the secrecy of the ballot,” he.sald, “and will prevent that independedt part of a party which holds the party in line to nominate good men, from partieipating In the pri- mary. The next step will be to compel a voter to swear who he has voted for at the last election. - Any law that tends to do away with the gecrecy of the ballot is a bad law.” This afternoon President Pro ‘Tem Harrison of the senate signed the il Shut Out Taxpayers. The standing committee on revenue in the senate met In secret session tonight and arbitrarily refused to ‘allow Tax Commis- sloner Fleming and others to appear before 1t and make certain arguments. Senator Brown, chairman of the committee, said no decisive action was taken on the bill, Mr, Flciing ddsired. to suggest the wis- dom of fixing November 1 as the time for placing the revénue bill dn effect instead ot September 1, as is provided, if it passes. He makes his assessment September 15, and it the bill should take eftect on the first he would be unable to ascertain what the state board assessient would be, the result working a serious hardship. , Mr. Fleming was advised by Senator Hall In Omaha today to come to Lincoln and ap- pear before the committee tonight, but ho found' the committee’s doors closed to bim and was Informed that nefthér he nor any other person, save a senator, could here- after appear before this committee. ‘This arbitrary action confirms the bellef that the ‘“‘powers that be'', have deter. mined. to railrond the revenue bill through the senate' without further change.

The railroad lobbyists, who are credited with having bad the whip hand in this revenue affalr from the start, are deter- mined not to allow the' imsurance and street railway lobbylsts to reopen the fight in the upper house. A railroad lobbyist sald tonight: “We baye ‘em sibly buck our lin But a desperate effort will be made to buck it nevertheless. A representative of the Omaha Street railway tonight said in answer to 4n inquiry, that he thought his company would attempt to have the revenae bill amended In the senate so as to place it, with telegraph, telephone and express compantes, under section 76, which pro- vides a tax on tangible property and gros: earnings s franchises.

PLANS DOUBLE DIVORCE WITH LAWYER Husband Va tes Between Forgive- Exoneration and Revenge. s Her Comdwet BUFFALO, N. Y., March 23.—Mrs. Bur- dick underwent a merciless examination by District Attorney Coatsworth when the in- quiry into her husband’s murder was ro- sumed today. Armed with numerous tender missives counsel forced the trembling woman to tell the story of her relations with Arthur Pennell, the story of the gullty love which her dead husband had discovered. Mrs. Burdick was deathly pale. She an- swered questions in a low, faltering volce, ovading a direct answer whenever possible and only admitting those facts the love letters made pitilessly plain. The eatly part of the day was taken up with unimpértant witnesses, indeed, it was not untl 8:30 that the lethargic women who crowded the courtroom woke up with a start. Remembers Pennell's Kisves, “Call Mrs. Burdick,” sald Mr, Coatsworth then, and the audlence turmed excitedly to watch the pale-taced widow walk slowly to the witness stand, Hurrying over preliminary questions counsel quickly brought her to her .re tions with Pennell, whom she sald she had known five or six years. “Do_you remember receiving & lotter trom Pennell in 1900, asked the district attorney, “In which he said:’ ‘Yesterday I was at the gateway on the campus grounds, wheré more than two years ago I drew you to me in the darkness. This place en- shrines me? " “No, sir, T do not.” - Mr. Coatsworth handed hér the letter. “Do you recognize it as his handwriting?" he asked. , whispered Mrs, Burdick. nd you recall the incident?” “Yes, #ir. Witness sald Pennell had ‘taken her into a doorway and kissed her. She thought she had remonstrated. A letter written from Shelton island on September 11, 1900, was next produced. It referred in affectionate terms to his hav- ing found a pair of her gloves In his coat ppcket. ‘A third letter from Shelton island, written In September, 1900, was also handed to her. Mrs. Burdick held it inher hands and read it. ‘She identified it as’having been written to her.” In it Pennell sald he would felephone to her just to hear her dear volde. “What did* Pennell mean in his lotter where he says he hoped to see you Wednes- day morning at 1—37" inquired the district attorney. “I do not know." “Doesn’t 1—3. refer 'to some' house in this city?" “Ido not know." . “In .1900 there were several houses in thils city where you used to‘meet him?" " “There were two or three.” Looks for Love Light in fler Eyes. Mr. Coatsworth also, .produced .a. letter written from New York.on September 18, 1900, in_which Pennell says: . "L just came from _telephoning you and. hearing your dear, sweet volce. Am I foolish to tel ‘phone to you from. wax.down. here? s a1} itspost the number of It d ‘m 6 world for me," " Later oh’in he same’Jefter " he" bay “‘Oply a day nfore dnd Iehall’ oncé ‘more see the lovelight In:your eyes and experi- ence the paradise within your arms.” Another letter written from New York read: “As I looked into your besutiful eyes last night I feared there was some trouble hidden there. 1 did mot know, but I foared it was because of some other rea- son than because I was going away. If there was, dearest, I wish you would tell | me. There is that in the manner of your husband toward you that makes me fear some time that I might kill him.” Mrs. Burdick listened to the tender passages wistfully, but stoutly denled any recollection of recelving the letters. It seemed, however, that she kept many of Pennell’s communications, for she admitted her husband had taken her by the throat and compelled her to give them up. She declared, however, that it was she and not Mr. Burdick who started the divorce pro- ceedings. Double Divorce Planned. She bad no love for him, but did love Pennell, whom she expected to marry. He had & wife, but they were to be divorced. “That was it, was it?" queried Mr. Coats- worth, with a sniff, “what did Mrs. Pennell think of the plan?” “Sometim responded witness, wearily, consented And ~ somotimes she re- fused.’ 4 A moment later she admitted, howeve: that she had never talked with Mrs. Pe: nell on the subject, and that her husband sent her away 1h May, 1901, on account of Pennell. Mr. - Coatsworth showed her a Tetter which she remembered writing from At- lantic City on’ May 27, 1901, in which she begged to be taken back, promising mever to see “Arthur,” and that she would be a loving and true wife. She had added that while she could not promise that Pennell would leaye town he would do what she sald. In a second letter she s#id she and Pen- nell had realized that they must give each other up, but that Pennell declined to do anything that would mean & loss of his self-respect. Meny similar communications passed be- tween them, and then after the divorce proceedings commenced Burdick wrote: ou say you do I ad 3 lame YU for ‘what you dia. 1f 1 joved a woman as you do Pennell I would do as you are doiny Proceeding he declared he loved her hon- estly and referréd to the fact that Mrs. Burdick was wearing a ring given her by Pennell over her lawful wedding ring. Bur- dick declared he had no faith in Pennell's promise and sald she only wished to be taken back till the lawyer was freed from bis wife. In still another letter Burdick wrote that he forgave her, but a little later changed his mind and declared he had d termined to fight for the little honor bhad left him, and, after getting & divorce, to fight for the children. He would insist on the counter sult by Mrs. Burdick belng fought out in open court. Burdick Takes Her Back. Three weeks after this Mrs. Burdick wa taken back by her busband.

MATOS OFFERS TO END LONG REVOLT Wishes President's Resignation cepted as Price of Calling Rebel om a4 Rentoring Peace to Venesnela. Ae- Forces NEW YORK, March 23.—The BDritish cruiser Pallas has seized the Venezuelan war ship Restaurador, on the ground that it 18 a pirate, cables the Herald's representa- tive at Port of Spain, Trinidad The charge against Restaurador cites that soon after it was handed over to the Venezuelan authorities by the German com- modore it began acts of piracy and robe bery on the high seas. It is charged that it selzed the cargoes of vessels and that it dismantled and abandoned the craft. A Port of Spaln newspaper says edi- torially of, Restaurador's course: “‘Such piratical acts prove the unwisdom of gen- erosity of the allled powers.” The paper expresses the hope that retri- butive justice will he swifter and more effeotive than on the last occasion. Restaurador was formerly the Amerfcan yacht Atalanta. It was built for Jay Gould. Forelgn Office Without News. LONDON, March 23.—The Foreign offics, as this dispatch is filed, has no copfirmi tion of the reported seizure of the Venezue- lan gunboat Restaurado, by the British crulser Pallas on the ground that the former had acted in a piratical manner.

Resignation More Thun Bluff. PARIS, March 23.—An officlal dispatch from Caracas, glving the causes of Pres- ident Castro's resignation, shows that this action was not a mere formality, but the outgrowth of serious conditions caused by the recent international entanglements. The main cause of the resignation is de- clared to be the trouvles with Geérmany, which, besides being difficult of solution, have caused widespread alarm. The situation, it is added, has been fur- ther complicated by the activity of the rev- olutionary bands. General Castro is sald to foreshadow e general change of government.

OUTTALKS Proves to Judges' Borope CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March, 23 —Harvard met and defeated Yale in joint debate in Sanders' theater tonight, having the af- firmative of a question, “Resolved, That the United States should permit a Euro- pean government {6 &eizo and hold perma- nently territory of a debtor state not ex- ceeding In value the amount of the award.” This question was appHed to South | America and six conditions governing it were presupposed, so that arguments were | yment | based on the understanding that of the debt according to the arbitration at The Hague had been Aefaulted. The judges unanimously decidell that Harvard had the better form and excelled in logic. Harvard maintained that there was no alternative way of collecting the debt and that by abiding by the award the principle | of arbiration was supported and the Inter ests of the ‘world, which were of more advangage than the selfish interests of the United states, conserved. The Monroe doc- trine, Harvard sald, should. not be made to cover wrbngdoings by South American states, and it was asserted {hat such an attitude would teach these states the re- | sponsibilities which should belong to a solvent state and make for international morality. Yale, on the other hand, affirmed that there were other ways of satistying a legal debt than by the seizure of land. Great emphasis was placed on the Monroe do trine, and the proposal of the afirmative was declared to be the entering wedge for its breakdown, which would cause the United States to become entangled in Euro- pean political squabbles. The Harvard speakers worle: ner, . Grossman and R. L. Lyman, their arguments being opposed by Robert H. E. ‘Well, Alan Fox and Charles D. Lockwood for- Yale. The judges were President Pritchett of the Massachusetts Institute of | Technology; Provost Harrison of the University of Pennsylvania and Judge Brown of Providence.

Tho letter closes: “If,'as cliizens who are engaged in a lawful occupation, you wish to call upon me, I shall be glad to see you at any time that may be mutually convenient, but I can- not see you as representatives of the Liquor Dealers’ association.” The mayor recalls tbat in his message of January, 1902, to the aldermen, he de- voted himself to the wubject of blackmail. He offered to co-operate with every cit- izen to break it up. ] “The police department has been raked from stem to stern in the effort to punish and prevent the'takihg of blackmail for the sale of alleged privileges” says the mayor, and he adds that “if certain rumors are well grounded the association (liquor dealers) is one of the principal obstacl to a complete reform of the police force and one of the principal tempters of the members of the force.” Henderson Grimett of this place was strickep with partial paralysis and com- pletely lost ‘the use of one arm and sid After being treated by an eminent physi- clan for quite a while without relief, my wife recommended Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and after using two bottles of it he is almost entirely cured.—Geo.
