Remains In State Courts, In spite of the long iritmH . of Edson , mtrJ! tf uuge vui umu uevi ecu imo uwi " " o - would not allow the removal of the $50,000 damage case brought against the road by Colonel Wilson la the Lancaster district court to the federal court. Mr. Rich In sisted that this' should be done as a matter of law and right,' and he proposes to fight the matter-out as far as the United States supremo court. If necessary. t , In this case Wilson sues for damages for a broken back. While Jacking up an engine In a pit at the Columbus round house he slipped and fell, his back striking a broken edge of the pit bottom and maim ing him fcr lire., He makes Daniel Llnaban, the master mechanic In charge of the round house, a co-defendant with the railroad company, claiming that he is equally liable with the company. The legal effect rf making Llnahan a defendant is to give the state courts complete Jurisdiction to try the case, and while it Is not proven that his being brought Into the case Is a fraud or an attempt to evado the statute, the federal courts are not likely to Invade the Juris diction of the state tribunals. Mr. Rich Insists that the only reason why Llnahan was made a defendant was to enable the stale court to retain Jurisdic tion. The case will be tried shortly. Mr. Rich said that If the supreme court of Ne braska should uphold the district court In Its refusal to permit the removal of the case be would go direct to the United States supreme court on the ground that a federal question Is Involved, the right to take the property of the company without due pro cess of law.

Philippines 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 ary.

TELLS OF TALK WITH MURDER: D MAN Also Is Taken Into Coutldence of Mrs. Hall, Who Says Her Daugh ter Is Not Wholly to BInnie. BUFFALO,-N. Y., March 16. When th4 Inquest Into the murder of Edwin L. Bur dick was resumed this morning the ex pectations were that It would end today, unless unforeseen matter should develop to the final examination of witnesses. Before today's hearing began It was an nounced that Mrs. J. D. Hull, mother of Mrs. Burdlck; Rev. L. M. Powers, pastor of the Church of the Messiah, which tho Burdicks attended, and City Chemist Her bert M. Hill would testify. Rev. Mr. Powers recently made a atate ment, over his signature, defending Mrs. Hull, and accusing Pennell, then dead, of the murder of Burdlck. It was then said It was not so much on account of this accusation that he was subpoenaed, but because he waa Burdick'a pastor. He knew the murdered man well. Burdlck, It Is said, had talked to him of his troubles and Pennell, and even of the letters Pennell had written to Mrs. Bur dlck. Every seat In Judge Murphy's court was occupied when the Inquest was resumed, but there wss no crowding. The scandala revealed by the testimony of the witnesses on the stand have become an old story, and public Interest in the Inquest Is on the wane, the general belief prevailing that no arrest will follow the present proceeding and th.at nothing in th nature of material evidence bearing directly upon the. murder of Burdlck will be forthcoming. Clercyuian la First Witness. Rev. L. M. Powers wss the first witness. He said that Mrs. Hull and the Burdicks were members of his church congregation. On two separate occasions he bad had talks with Burdlck concerning the latter's do mestic affairs. The first one was at Bur dick's office about three weeks prior to tho murder. He called voluntarily to talk with Burdlck about the matter, which the wit ness said, "had become common talk at that time." Mra. Hull also had discussed It with him once during a call the minister made at the house. Asked to repeat the conversation with Mrs. Hull, Mr. Powen aald: She told me her daughter find left home, and that a suit for divorce waa pending. She said her daughter was not without fault, but that she waa not alone to blame, either, that if 1 knew the whole thing I would not believe that the fault was nil her daughter's. Mrs. Hull, he said, did not ask him to speak to Burdlck about withdrawing the divorce suit. . On tho first occasion that he visited Burdlck he walked up home with him, so that he was with him about an hour. Bur dlck told him about everything that has come out In this examination. Pennell Threatens ftaiclde. "What did be tell you that haa not come out?" "He told me that Pennell had threatened to commit suicide If the divorce suit was not withdrawn and that Pennell had suc ceeded In Impressing the sincerity of hla threat upon Mrs. Burdlck to such an extent that she bad believed him and Induced Bur dlck to go to Pennell and tell him that It be would get out of town he would call everything square. I think he said Pen nell had given a written promise to leave town. "He told me that he bad made up his mind to make public all the letters that Pennell had written to Mrs. Burdlck nod he Impressed upon me how ridiculous It would mske Pennell appear." Asks Bardlek to Stop Suit. The witness said he asked Burdlck to withdraw the divorce suit snd to take his rife back, but he concluded from the man's reply that ho would not do so under any circumstances. Burdlck. Mr. Powers said, hsd a very kindly feeling for Mrs. Hull. He thought a good deal of htr. "He told me ahe was not well and that he had of fered to send her to Florida or California," continued the witness, "and that she should alwaya have a home with him. One reason Burdlck gave roe for not tak ing Mrs. Burdlck back was that Mra. Hull always had had the chief care of thi children and they would contluue to be under her care." Mr. Powers said his second call upon Burdlck waa mainly regarding a business matter. He Waa asked whether Pennell ever mads any threat against Burdlck, by Mr. Coats worth. "No. All I know Is that I have sn Im pression that Pennell said to someone that saves coo&titr.a OP U kUSSr- DS &T AMERICA'S BEST READY TO WEAR H1G F0R S ROGERS-PKET A CO..

' Mr. Powers was then excused. To Hold Pennell Iimiteat. It was tho understanding today that the Inquest Into the death of Arthur Pennell will be held Immediately and that the ver dict In the Burdlck caee will not be ren dered until after the close of the Pennell 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. Coder tho 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 it sufficient to indicate the guilt of any par ticular person, with sufficient clearness as to make an indictment by the grand Jury reasonably certain. It Is not thought possible that the court will in this Instance name anyone In any warrant which he may see lit to Issue. It Is possible, however, ho 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.
