Chase | Kohler & Chase of San Francisco, at Cafe Martin recently, Hambourg took oc- casion to express his views on the Ameri- can pianoforte.” “Before coming to America, previous to my first tour,” oughly investigating the American planos and choosing the Knabe fer my concert tour, I was forced to acknowledge the truth. The Knabe piano, gentlemen, I | consider not only the greatest musical instrument of America, but the most | superb piano of our times.

The announcement comes from the Home | Office, which authorizes her Washington |lawyers to use the fact of her release | next vear as a reason for obtaining a | continuance of the trial of the law suits bearing on the prisoner’s Interest in land in Kentucky, Virginia and West Vir- ginja. Those who are in a position to know say that the Home Secrctary has shown great courtesy in connection with the suits now pending in America; that the decision to release Mrs. Maybrick was entirely due to efforts on this side of the Atlantic, and that Embassador Herbert | has never been called upon to act in this | matter. | Mrs. Maybrick, who was Miss Florence Elizabeth Chandler and a member cf a | well-known and prosperous Southern family, was married on July 27, 18, in St. James Church, Piccadilly, to James Maybrick of Liverpool. She was then 18 vears old, vivacious and beautiful, and a soclal favorite. Her husband was 34 years BRITAIN'S NOTED PR{30NER, AS SHE APPEARED AT THE TIME OF HER CONVICTION. brothers investigated charged Mrs. Maybrick with the murder of her husband. A long trial followed and a number of doctors swore Mr May- brick died of arsenical poisoning. The defense proved that for twenty vears Maybrick had been a confirmed ar- senic eater and that he daily took doses that would have killed a dozen ordinary men. Mrs. Maybrick was eventually sen- tenced to death by the Judge, Sir Fitz- james Stephen, who spoke for two days in charging the jury and who said it was impossible for the jury to finG her guilty in the face of the medical evidence. He died some time later in a madhouse. From the time of Mrs. Maybrick's con- viction, her mother, the Baroness von Roques, has been unremitting in_ her at- | tempts to obtain the prisoner’s release, in which she' has been aided by influential friends on both sides of the Atlantic. In Killowen, Chief Justice of England, a letter was received which had been writ- ten to Mrs. Maybrick in 18%. It showed that the eminent lawyer was convinced that she ought never to have been con- victed. that all the recent American Embassadors to the Court of St. James have done everything possible to obtain Mrs. May- brick's pardon.

There were two or three houses, she said, at which she used to meet him. Coatsworth produced another Iletter, postmarked “New Haven, September 19, | 1900.” Mrs. Burdick sald she, recalled having received it. Pennell wrote: “I shall try and comfort myself by foning you from New York and on Thurs- day shall know the exquisite happiness of seeing you.” He referred to her ‘‘dear picture” in the locket and declared her “my love, my life, my dearest own.” Coatsworth produced another letter written from New York on September 18, 1900, addressed tg Mrs. Burdick. In this letter Pennell wrote: “I just came from telephoning you and hearing your dear, sweet voice. Am I foolish to telephone you from way down here? was worth all it cost me. I realize more and more that you are the only woman in the world for me.” “Do you vemember getting that letter?” asked the District Attorney. “No, sir.”” “In this same letter he says: ‘Only a day more and I shall once more see the love light in your eyes.’ What does he mean by that, Mrs. Burdick?” “I don’t know."” PENNELL HINTS AT MURDER.

Her husband first knew of her intimacy with Pennell, she thought, on January 1, 1901, when she told him in reply to a question that she had been walking with Pennell. He told her she was very imprudent. “Did you give the letters to Burdick?" T don’t krnow."

She did not know whether some of the letters read were in the box at that time. It was in January, 1901, that he choked her. She could not remember when she rented a box in a safe deposit company’s vaults. It was not at the time her husband had choked her, but recently, when she received papers from detectives about Burdick. Her husband had not started the divorce proceedings. It was she who wanted a divorce from him. him, but did love Pennell, whom she ex- pected to marry. He had a wife, but he expected they would be divorced.

Pennell had hired the detectives who shadowed her husband. Her husband sent her away in May, 181, on account of Pennell. Coatsworth showed her a letter written by her to her husband from Atlantic City on May 27, 1901, in which she begged to be taken back, promising never to see “Ar- thur” and that she would be a loving and true wife. In the letter she sald she could not promise that Pennell would leave town, but declared that he would do what she said. She admitted having written the letter and said that at that time she had hired no detectives. PENNELL MAKES PROMISE. A second letter, written by Mrs. Bur- dick to her husband 1in the same year, was read, in which she spoke of having received Burdick's letter and said that Pennell had promised to leave town if Burdick would take her back; that she and Pennell had realized that they must -glve each other up, but that Pennell de- clined to do anything that would mean a lcss of his self-respect.

The murdered man and Mrs. Stokes had arrived only a few days ago from Port- land, Or,, where he had been employed as a gardener and the woman as a dress- maker. It had been their custom for sev- eral years to spend the spring and sum- mer at the Boonville ranch. Stokes was known as an exemplary citizen and was comfortably provided with money. The couple was in good health and a theory of suicide has no ground to rest on. Noth- ing had been taken from the house and it is cvident that robbery was not the mo- tive. The Coroner left here for Boonville to-morrow. ‘'The neighbors, although having suspi- cions, will make no statements.

Burdick de- clared that he had no faith in Pennell's promises, and that she wished to be taken back only until Pennell was freed from his wife. FORGIVES ERRING WIFE. In another letter Burdick wrote that he forgave his wife the wrong she had done him. In another Burdick declared he had de- termired to fight for the little honor she had left him, and after getting a divorce to fight for the children. He would insist | on the counter-suit by Mrs. Burdick be- ing fought out in open court. Three | weeks after this letter Mrs. Burdick was | taken back by her husband. After returning from Atlantic City and | after promising her husband to be a good wife she met Pennell. It was not her babit to meet him, she said, but he was constantly begging her to do so, and ‘she | meet him in a house on Scventh She was there one time when street. as she stepped out of the window and went to church. She did not hear that Burdick and his frieads on that occasion | caught Pennell as he was jumping out | of the window and that they took him back to the room. Mrs. Burdick admitted having met Pen- nell in another house on Seventh street after that incident. She at first denfed baving met Pennell elsewhere, but on rlace two or three times. DID NOT FEAR PENNELL. George C. Miller, attorney for Burdick in the dlvorce proceedings against Mrs. ! Burdick, was the first witness of the day. | He told in detail all the steps that had | been taken at the request of Burdick to | obtain a divorce. He last saw Burdick on the afternoon of the day he was mur- dered. Burdick spent a half-hour with him discussing the divorce matter. Bur- dick did not say that he had an appoint- ment with any one at his home (hat night. Burdick was ready at all times to sac- rifice his own interests for those of his | “He carried a revolver, but I never heard him say that he feared harm from Pennell. At a confefence held at my of- fice Pennell made one or two statements from which an intimation of suicide could be drawn. I never heard Pennell say that unless the divorce actlon was with- drawn he would kill himself and Mrs. Burdick.” The testimony given by Henry J. Or- rett, the furnaceman at the Pennell | house, was unimportant. He simply said that he removed the ashes from Pen- nell's furnace on the morning after the murder. He found no buttons, buckles or metallic substances in the ashes. Pennell put on the coal and shook down the fur- nace, as had been his custom.

She did not | see them again until the next morning. The servant said she did not notice the suit of clothes Pennell wore on Thursday 1might before the murder, nor the one he had on Friday morning. The girl admit- ted that she pressed Pennell's trousers, but she said she could not remember which he wore on either occasion. She had not noticed whether any of his trousers were missing; whether Penrell went to the furnace on Friday morning or whether or not either Mr. or Mrs. Pen- nell left the house after 10 o'clock Thurs- day evening.

Clark of | Cedar Rapids, Towa, chief of the Brother- | hood of Railway Conductors and one of | the members of the anthracite coal strike | commission. Judge George Gray, president of the | strike commission, recommended Clark to the President as one of the best executive officers he had ever come in contact with, | and said some of the most important work of the investigation of the coal | strike had been done by him. Other mem- bers of the commission also commended Clark's work. President Roosevelt was gratified, because these recommendations | harmonized with his own opinions formed last summer, when he met Clark at Chat- | way men's convention. There has been a desire to select an As- | sistant Secretary who would represent or- ganized labor, as the department is to represent labor as well as commerce. Clark, besides representing organized | labor, will be an efficient executive of- | ficer to aid Secretary Cortelyou in or- | ganizing the new department. | | Clergyman Dies of Blood Poisoning. | ATLANTA, Ga., March 2.—Rev.

MUST PAY DUTY UPON WOOD PULP Board of Classification Renders Decision in Appealed Cases. NEW YORK, March 23.—The board of classification of the United States Genéral Appraisers to-day decided the Canadian wood pulp case, which has attracted a great deal of attention, not only from | manufacturers of both pulp and paper, but from newspaper publishers as well. There were two protestants in the case, F. W. Meyers &Co., acting for Hollings- worth, Whitney & Co. of Boston, and the Marie Pulp and Paper Com- pany of Michigan. Two distinet questions were presented to the board. One related to pulp import- ed from Quebec and the other to pulp from Ontario. In each case the pulp is made from wood cut on “crown lands.” Under the law of Quebec the commission- er of the crown lands is authorized to i ant licenses to cut timber on the un- I to the fact that Mrs. Burdick was wear- | tanooga and heard him speak at the rafl- | Sr granted lands of the crown, subject to the payment of a tax of 65 cents per cord for pulp wood cut, a rebate of 25 cents per cord being allowed on “timber manufaec- tured into paper pulp in the Dominion of Canada.” The United States customs authorities levied an additional duty equal to the 25 | cents rebate allowed. The board of clas- | sification now overrules the protest relat- ing to the pulp from Quebec and the ac- tion of the collector in that particular place is sustained. Precisely the same ad- ditional duty has been imposed upon the pulp from Ontario. Under the law of that province, however, no one is permitted to cut pulp wood on crown lands, unless it is to be manufactured in Canada. As re- gards importations from Ontario the board holds that the province of Ontario “levies no export duty upon wood pulp exported from its limits and therefore the additional duty imposed by the collector upon the merchandise from that province was improperly assessed and his decision on that point is reversed and he is in- structed to reliquidate the entry so as to assess no such additional duty.” The decisions appealed from were made by the collectors of customs at Burlin, ton, Vt., and Marquette, Mich., under in- structions from the Treasury Department, An appeal to the Federal courts proba~ bly will be taken.
