Pennell Goes to His Death in a Very
Tragic Manner
ti
a WAS ANOTOTHER SAD MYSTERY
y One of the Chief Figures in the Bur
0 dick Murder Case Crushe? Going
Over Precpice.
t
I Buffalo, Special.-More terrible, al
most, than the death of E. L. Burdick
r was the tragedy that occurred late
Tuesday afternoon when Arthur Pen
nell, one of the chief figures in the in
vestigation of the Burdick murder, was
hurled headlong into eternity. Mr. t
Pennell was riding in his electric au
tomobile with Mrs. Pennell. They were
r on Kensington avenue, near Fillmore
? avenue, skimming the edge of the stone
t quarry, a huge rock-ribbed hole in the
r ground. Pennell's hat blew off, the au
tomobile swerved and in some inex- 4
r plicable manner it leaped over the
curb into the abyss below. Pennell was 9
killed instantly, his head being crush- t
ed to an unrecognizable mass. Mrs. I
Pennell was injured so severely that a
the surgeons at the Sisters' Hospital E
to which she was taken, say her chan- a
ces of recovery are very slight. C
Two boys saw the tragedy. They
were too far away to know positively t
just how it happened. Mrs. Pennell C
when found. was unable to speak. She
I was only semi-conscious when taken to a
y the hospital and could speak no coher- I
ent words. After the operation was s
perfornted immediately by Dr. Eugene
Smith in the hope of saving her life,
she lapsed into unconsciousness and
hence there can be no true version of t
precisely how the affair occurred.
Mr. Pennell left his office in the Aus- I
tin building at 4:05 o'clock in the I
afternoon. He went to his home at 208 C
Cleveland avenue. A friend who called i
up Mr. Pennell on the telepl one about t
5 o'clcck was informed that Mr. Pcn- c
nell was in but that he was going for
a drive. Mr. Pennell. himself answered c
the telephone and said that he would c
be back between 6:30 and 7 o'clock,
making an appointment with his friend s
for that hour.
"Would 6 o'clock do?" he was asked. E
"Oh, well yes, might come at 6 (
o'clock, but you better make it later," c
said Mr. Pennell. t
Those were the last words Pennell c
was known to speak to any one except (
Mrs. Pennell, save that he went back
to the stairs and called out to Lizzle I
Robmance, the maid, "Lizzie, we will
be back between 6 and 7 o'clock." L aen
he and Mrs. Pennell rode away in the 4
automobile. it was learned that Ae i
matter mentioned in the telephone t
talk was something he considered mys
Strious and which weighed heavily I
- upon Mr. P'ennell in connection with
Sthe Burdick murder. Recently Mr. Pen
!nell made the following statement:
"About this case of Burdick, I -have -1
told the authorities I went away to
SNew York before the'-murder and that
I met Mrs. Bnurdick while I was away. t
SIn fact I saw Mrs. Burdick near. New
-York two or three days before the mur- t
I der. I have told it frankly and the t
- meeting was a proper one. But they 1
,seem to be determined to drag all this
business out in the papers. I would do I
Sanything to stop it.
Pennell and his wife left their homec
t at 4:50 o'clo.2k or one or two minutes
Sbefore that time. It was a gloomy af-t
t ternoon and rain was falling. It seemed I:
1 a strange day for a mian to take hist
,wife automobiling, in tue lonely north- 1:
east section of the city at such an hour.
Pennall was not a veteran at automo
biling. Yet he was an expert at hand- 4
ling the machine and was experiencedc
- as to its management. What was un- 1
> usual about today's proceeding, ac- f
1 corning to the maid, was that Mrs.(
SPennell had always before told her(
when they would return, "Today, how
ever," said the girl, when they went(
out it was Mr. Pennell who told me."
STheir route on their ride no one cant
Stell In detail. Captain Cable and the c
-police were trying tonight to trace thet
route of the automobile. Mrs. Pen,
i nell has been loyal to her husband
r throughout his trying experiences du-t
a ring the last ten days. She frequently
said that her faith in him was unsha-a
ken and that she would stick to him to
Sthe end.

THE EXTRA SESSION
5enator florgan Still Speaks on the
Canal Question.
Senator Morgan Tuesday secured
he first material concession that has
)een made to him by the Senate in
onnection with the Panama treaty
with Colombia. Tnis convention con
isted of an agreement to attach the
ipooner Canal act bodily to the treaty.
rhis change was made in compliance
rith a request which was presented
)y Senator Lodge during the day's
secutive session of the Senate and
Lfter the necessity for it had been dis
ussed by Mr. Morgan and also by
ther members of the Senate.
Senator uaniel expressed t1e'
ipinion that as the preamble to the
reaty calls for the attachment of a
opy of the act that attachment was 4
ecessary to preserve the terms of the
locument intact. Senator MorgAn con
ended that without this attachment
he treaty was absolutely invalied.
enators Teller and Hoar took the
pposite view, urging that as the act
vas in existence and of record in the
tatutes of the United States, the
hysical annexation was of na conse
uence whatever. Senator Lodge, how
ver, suggested that no injury could
esult from the attachment of the act
nd requested unanimous consent for
hat purpose. There was no objection
Lnd Senator Morgan's wish hra this re
pect was gratified. It was specifically
tipulated, however, that this coces
on did not amount to an amemiment
if the treaty.
Senator Morgan consumed the en
re time of the remainder of* the
losed session, discussing the canal
uestion from various points of view,
nd going over much ground which he
ad already covered. Most of his
peech was wrtten, and when Senator
|ulIom asked him if the :,peech he
vas reading was a new one, or an .old
ne, he replied with some manifestar
Ion of vexation that it was new,
dding that he did not have to repeat
is addresses. He discussed particu
arly the attitude of the isthmian canal
ommission of which Admiral Walker
s the head and criticised to some ex
ent the change of view taken by that
ommssion in its last report. He also
wolt upon the variation of the terms
f the treaty from those of the Spoon
r law. During the progress of his ad
ress Senator Morgan expressed a de
ire to have copies of .the correspond
nee between the United States gov
rnment and the new Panama Canal
|ompany bearing upon the acceptance
f the option given by that company
o the United States to purchase the
anal for $40,000,000 and the Senate
onsented to make a request on the.
ecretary of State for those docu
ients.. They had not arrived at half
ast 3 o'clock and as Senator Morgan
tated that he would be unable to pro
:eed without them 'Senator Cullom
noved that the Senate adjourn ani
ia motion prevailed.
During the day there was more or
ss Informal discussion of the propo
Iton to permit Senator Morgan to
ublsh his remarks in The Congres-'
onal Record, but there was no effort
lenator Cullom, chairman of the com
ttee on foreign relations, has taken -
he position that this permission to -
~rint shall not be granted unless Sea
r Morgan will agree to allow a day
be fixed for the vote upon the
reaty. On -the other hand, Senator
logan says that he is entirely inde
endent of the Senate in these re
pects because he says he can dis
uss to any extent he please In. the
mublic print a former treaty between
e United States and Colombia, which
; alnost identical with the pending
reaty and which has been made pub
During the day Senator Morgan for
arded to ,each Senator copies of
Ight pamphlets prepared by himself
n the canal question. They deat
sually under special titles, with the- --. -
ollowing subjects: "The History of
'lombia's Canal Concessibns and the
)rganizaton of Canal Compages;"'
The Methods Employed to Put the'
)ld Panama Canal Into Operation in
'rance;" "Colombia's Relationshipita
e Canal Company;" "The Campaign
Bo, Hutin and Cromwell of Tempta
ion, Insolence and Coercon" "At- -
orney General Knox, and the Law of
e Case," and "The State of- Civil
ion in Colombia."
In the second of his pamphlets, Sen
tr Morgan contends against. the
alidity of the title of the' new Phaa
a Company, declaring that the
'rech courts had no power to -dis
olve the old Panama Canal Corn
any or to appoint a liquidator to-hold
.nd control the property of that corn
any in Panama. Mr. Morgan asserts
hiat, the French courts overstepped
e jurisdiction in the matter of trans
er of title. Mr. Morgan accuses those
es ring to sell the canal of "riding
o n the Colombia constitution" and
srts that.. $1,000,000 in gotdt was*
zrnished by the new canal company,
gEter with the use of Its railroad
.nd ships to Colombian learleia in or
e to prolong the canal concession
y maintaining the army and continu
g the state of war. The trampling
f their constitution under foot in this
a'er he characterizes as a very
mitten experience for the people of
~olombia. Senator Morgan takes is
ue with the conclusions' ot Attorney
~eneral Knox as to the vahidity of the
tle the canal company can transfer
fd contends no concession is valAn
~ithout an act cf cessicn passed by
hColombian congress. In his
)a-nphlet on "The state of Civiliza-.
ion in Colombia" Senator Morgan de
otes much space to the' influence of
he Caholic church in Colombia. He
ssen s that the results have created.
leepseated fanaticism in Colombia
nd that this order controls Colombia
n its present politics and will control
t in future, "so that when we are In
isagreement with Colombia, we se
.n conflict with the Holv -Alliance."
