TRUSTS AND TARIFF.
Principal Topics of the Presi
dent's"Western Speeches.
Disaster at the Carnegie Steel Plant
Good Prospect For Winter Wheat
Burglar Shot Dead State Teach
era' Association Rigging of the Re
liance Increase of Public Debt.
President Roosevelt began his West
em tour Wednesday. He addressed
G.000 people in Chicago Thursday ev
ening on the subject of the Monroe
doctrine and attended a banquet it
the Auditi.rlum. Friday he was the
guest of the Milwaukee Merchants
and Manufacturers' association at c
banquet, covers being laid for 630 peo
mp. After the banquet the presidenl
Took occasion to give his views on
"Trusts," leaving for Minneapolis aft
er midnight.
In his speech at Milwaukee the
president spoke of the anti-trust leg
islation enacted by the last congress
especially the creation of a department
of commerce and labor with a cum
niissloner of corporations charged
with supervision and control of the
corporations encaged in interstate
commerce, and alao of the anti-rebate
amendment to the Sherman law. He
declared the legislation enacted was
adequate for the present, and prom
ised its rigid enforcement.
He spoke of suits brought by the
attorney general against the sail
trust of California and against 11
railroads of the Middle West restrain
lng tli era by Injunction from furthei
violation of the anti-rebate and Sher
man laws. Suits were also brought
against some of the Southern railroads
which had formed a pool Injurious tc
the interests of the cotton growers
He also spoke of the suit against the
moat packers' combine. These suits
he? said, had accomplished their pur
pose. Ho also spoke of the suit be
gun at the request of governors of the
Northwestern states asuinst the al
leged merger of the Great Northern
find Northern Pacific railroads, which
suit Is still pending.
The Cuban reciprocity treaty, the
Philippine tariff, the question of re
adjustment in domestic tariff rates and
the trust problem were some of the
matters upon which President Roose
velt spoke at Minneapolis. His own
opinion may be summarized thus: We
owe something to Cuba and we got
something In return; and it is well tc
go ahead carefully In revising the tar
iff in order that business conditions
may not be disturbed any more than
necessary; while, on the other' hand:
we must not forget that as our needs
change it may be necessary to meet
the changes by changes In the tariff
laws.
While the president recognized
that changes might be necessary, he
urged the avoidance of frequent fluct
uations In the tariff, believing that sta
bility was important as well as ad
justment to changing conditions.
The most enthusiastic reception
ever tendered any man in the "Twin
Cities" was that to President Roose
velt on Saturday. From the . time
he arrived undl his departure from
Minneapolis at 11 o'clock at night for
the West he ; was the recipient of a
continual ovation,' the streets through
which he passed In both cities being a
solid mass of people and Armory hall
at the university of Minnesota being
crowded to its limited capacity.
President Roosevelt was the guest
of Sioux Falls, S. D., Sunday. The
president attended church hoih in the
morning and evening and In the after
noon went for a horseoack ride, ac
companied by Seth Bullock, superin
tendent of the Clack Hills forest re
serves. The speech, which was on tariff and
reciprocity, brought out much enthus
iasm, the president treating extensive
ly of the Cuban situation, declaring
that we must have military control ol
Southern waters, and Baying that the
United States Is the most prosperous
nation ever known. It was considered
a great speech and the crowd pushed
forward to shake his hand, which was
denied them.
The special train i which the pres
ident left for bis Western trip was
furnished by the Pennsylvania rail
road. It has been specially decorated
and equipped for the trip. It consists
of six cars, manned by a picked crew,
with Conductor William 11. Johnson,
who has been with the president on
many trips, in charge.
The president's private car, the
Elysian. has a parlor and observation
compartment, three state sleeping
rooms, a dining car, two sleeper sec
tions, a kitchen and sleeping sections
for servants.
The trip will costlnue from April un
til June 5, nine weeks and three days.
During the time the president will
travel about 11,000 miles. John Bur
roughs, the pi:ct-naturalist of Now
York, will accompany President Roose
velt until he arrives at St. Ixniis, mak
ing the tour of the Yellowstone park
with him. Mr. Burroughs will then re
turn to New York.
President Nicholas Murray Potior I
Columbia university will join the p.irty
at St. Louis and will be Hie president's

When that state is reached the presi
dent will be joined by Benjamin Ide
Wheeler, president of the Univer
sity of California, who will accom
pany him through the stale.

Disaster at Carnegie Steel Plant
An accident at furnace I of the Ed
gar Thomson plant of the Carnegie
Steel company at Braddock Tuesdas
Is expected to prove one of the worst
In the history of the plant In the num
ber of deaths resulting.
Twenty men were Injured, six ol
whom are dead and 10 are In the ho3
pital aiid are not-expected to recover.
The other injured went to their home
and are suffering from painful burns.
The accident was caused by a
"hang" In the furnace dropping and
forcing large quantities of white hot
dust down a large pipe Into a pit where
the men were at work. The victims,
caught like rats In a trap, were with
out means of escape and all were burn
ed and blistered over their entire
bodies and large strips of flesh peeled
off their bodies when they were pulled
out of the pit by fellow workmen.
The bodies of the fatally burned
could scarcely be recognized as such,
They were blackened or shredded in
strips by the white hot "down com-jr"
dust that burned Into their flesh.
Many of the men had large blotches
burned through the flesh, caused by
the large splashes of molten Iron that
had struck them and burned through
to the bone.
Furnace I Is equipped with the fa
mous electric "skius ' that are now
used on all United Slates Steel corpor
ation's blast furnaces.
Record Breaking Yield of Wheat
Reports of failures show the small
est number of embarrassments In the
first quarter for 20 years past, and the
smallest liabilities In 16 years.
Prospects of winter sown crops were
never better, a record breaking yield
of winter wheat being predicted for
the country as a whole.
Export trade continues excellent,
particularly In cotton and corn.
Retail trade Is expanding, favored
by spring weather, and Jobbers report
orders from retailers increasing, while
collections note some Improvement
Some price revisions are to be noted,
particularly in raw wool, coal, pig
Iron, copper, coffee and sugar on the
Atlantic seabord.
The activity in lumber Is a notable
feature just now, the only complaint
being of deliveries not being suffi
cient to meet current demand.
Quiet is noted in the Eastern whole
sale drygoods and Jobbing trade, but
an excellent spring business has al
ready been done. Strikes ' in Lowell
have induced a waiting attitude
among' cotton goods buyers, but tend
rather to strengthen than to weaken
values
State Teachers' Association.
The executive committee of the Now
York Teachers' association met at
Albany on Saturday and decided tc
hold its annual meeting at the Cath
olic summer school at Cliff Haven,
Plattsburg, In July. It had been al
most decided to have the 1!)03
meeting at Ithaca. Dr. Soper and
Professor Bristol of Cornell were pres
ent at the meeting and assured the
commPteo that Ithaca was sanitarily
gaff. It was decided, howver, to go
to riattsburg this year and to have
the 1904 meeting at Ithaca.
Rigging of the Reliance.
Indications at Bristol, R. I., are
that the new yacht Reliance will
be launched in skirts, that is with
sails hanging from the deck over
her sides. If this should be done It
nill be the first time that the Herres-
boffs have launched a boat In this
fashion. The masts of the Reliance
are being fitted up on the wharf, and
the spreaders and mast head straps
are to be attached immediately.
Increase of Public Debt.
The monthly statement of the pub
lic debt shows that on March 31,
1903, the total debt, less cash In the
treasury, amouniea to $9.19.603,919, an
Increase for the mouth of $1,631,021.
This increase Is accounted for by a
corresponding decrease in the amount
of cash on band.
Small Yield of Maple Sugar.
Reports from maplo sugar groves
show that tho yield will not ex

There is hardly any snow in the road
and there have been no "sugar snows"

PENNELL A DEFAULTER,
Said to Have Swindled Eastert
Investors.
Secret cf His Lavish Expendit"rei
With Little Visible Means of In
come Sealed Instructions Left ti
Administrator Provides For Mrs
Burdick Dispute Over Two Policies
ButTalo, April 7. The Commercia
publishes the following stoiy:
Arthur R. Peanell, who was accusec
of tho murder cf Edwin L. Burdicl
and who v.as killed in au automublli
accident on March lOtb, was a do
faulter to the extent of $150,000 o
$200,000, according to authentic infor
mat ion. He swindled estates of friendi
in the east out of large sums of money
He carried ever $200,000 life Insuranci
in order that after his death those es
tates might bo able to recoup ihi
lc3ses which they had sustainet
through him.
This Information comes from a re
liable source, which, however, owlnj
to a pledge which has been given, can
not be divulged at this time.
Incidentally, It has been learnoc
that Pennell made provision for :h
payment to Mrs. Edwin L. Burdick u
$25,000 cut of his life Insurance.
The means by which Pennell do
rived an Income that was sulhclent U
enable him to spend in the neighbor
hood of $20,000 a year has been 1
mystery in this city for a long time
Years ago, Pennoll's most intimate
friends, who were familiar with tin
legitimate sources of his income mar
vcled at the lavishness cf his persona
expenditures. Pennell was carryin;
life Insurance which was costing hlti
In the neighborhood of $7,000 a year
His heme was a luxurious establish
ment He owned an automobile, pat
ronized a fashionable tailor, traveled 1
great deal, and, in fact, lived like 1
man of wealth.
Legal Business as a Side Issue,
He practiced law, but his legal busl
ness was a,8lde issue. He never seem
ed to have any cases in the courts
and was not known to be connector!
Id a professional way with any large
estates or interests of any kind thai
would requlie bis services as an at
torney.
There had been a suspicion among
a few of Pennell's most intimate
friends for some time that a good
part of his income had been derived
thiough bog t: investment schomes
and that his wealthy friends and re
latives in the East were the victims
But there was no proof that that was
so. Some time after his death It. begar
to be rumored that Pennell had
swindled his friends and relatives Ic
the east.
It was stated that they sent mone)
to him to be Invested In bonds anc
mortgages and In various mythical m
terprlses at fancy rates of interest
and that Pennell, instead of Investing
the funds, had used them himself and
had averted disclosure of his crooked
work by paying the Interests on the
fake investments.
This story now has been found to be
substantially true, except that, so fai
as can be learned, he did not swindle
any of his relatives In the East, al
though it is understood that his wife'
relatives are among the victims.
The story of Pennell's extensive
swindles leaked out as the result of a
legal dispute over two life insurance
policies. It seems that there were twe
policies taken out by Pennell whief
were not handed over to the adminis
trator of the estate. One of them was
for $15,000 issued by the Prudentla
Insurance company and the ether was
for' $10,000. issued by the Mutual Mfe
Insurance company. These two poll
cies had been assigned by Pennol'
to Attorney Wallace Thayer in trust
In one .he was referred to at
"Wallace Thayer trustee, and lr
the other he was designated Wal
lace Thayer as trustee." There If
quite a difference between the term
"trustee" and "as trustee," and the
Insurance companies, which did not
care- to be held liable In the evenl
that they pay the money over to the
wrong person, took legal counsel In
the matter and held up payments
Mr. Thayer ami the attorneys for one
of the Insurance companies talked the
matter over. J. Frederick Pennell
administrator of the estate, also wai
called In, and Mr. Pennell insisted or
having more information before he
would consent to the payment of anj
Insurance money to Mr. Thayer at
trustee.
Plan to Commit Suicide.
It was then that the story of Pen
neil's heavy defalcations and his plant
to commit suicide were made kno.vn
The' $23,000 insurance money as
signed to Thayer by Pennell in trust
is supposed to be paid over to Mrs
Burdick in accordance with the pro
visions of the bond for $."i0,odo whirl.
Pennell gave prior to his death. Thai
is the bond which Hurdi-k found in the
Ikix which his wife rented in Ho
vault ) of the safety deposit rumpany
Mr. Tliayrr won't talk about it. It 1
fact, he has declined to give evei
the administrator of PeiineH'g cstat
any Information concerning it.
Mr. Pennell, the administrator
went to Mr. Thayer for the purp.iRe ol
finding out the nature of his trust, ns
it was his duty as administrator tr
do. Mr. Thayer wouldn't talk. Il(
said Pennell hail left .sealed ins' ruc
tions advising him a.: to how he was
to dispose of the $25.0011 and .that, a;
a lawyer, who could not dhulge the
nature of that trust.
Mr. Pennell urged that as adminis
trator he was enti'led to know the at
ture of the trust before he could con
sont to have the money paid over
Mr. Thayer still refused to say wha
the trust was.
Thc-mas Penney, attorney for tin
Pennell estate, accordingly charger.
the Insurance companies to pay ove
no money to Mr. Thayer. The pro!:
ability Is that the $25,000 will be pale
Into tho courts unless the life insur
ance companies take a chance on pay
lng it either to Mr. Penney or Mr
Thayer.
The attorney s who are interested It
the Pennells or the Pennell estatt
claimed that they knew nothing abou
Pennell's alleged defalcations. The)
did not deny that the story was trie
They simply said that Pennell
brother, who had been named In tin
will i.s administrator of the estate, hat
been given secret sealed instruction!
left by the dead man, and that the ad
ministrator had properly refralneK
from giving any Information relativi
to those Instructions.
Wallace Thayer, who was Pennell'i
attorney and Intimate friend, said h
had suspected that Pennell had swind
led people In the east, but that hi
hnd no proof of any such wrong do
lng.
GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
Special Communication to Legislature
on Mortgage Tax.
Albany, April 7. In a special mos
sage sent to both houses of the legla
lature Governor Odell emphasizes !ili
views of tho importance of some legls
lation at this session upon the subject
of taxation of mortgages.
"That an evil exists In the presem!
system of mortgage taxation," he says
"is manifest, and that it Is a burden
upon these who cannot escape, upor
widows and orphans whose money h
tied up in trust estates, should lead the
legislature to lake Into consideration
the necessity for action and attempt
in twme way to correct this condition
"If it be by the total exemption ol
mortgages from taxation, if that be the
conclusion of the legislature I am
ready to give to It my sanction and ap
prcval. If It be by imposing a smal
yearly tax. either 4 mills or 2 mills
am willing also to go to that extent
because I believe that is so much near
er right than the exlstinglaiw and thai
it wmld meet the approval of the citi
zens of the state. If it be by Imposing a
recording tax, affecting only futtir
mortgages, I am willing to lend mj
approval and assistance In that dire?
tlon. But I believe that the leglslnt
tire would be recreant to the trust re
posed In It if an adjournment should
occur without a correction of the evIN
to which I have directed attention.
"It may be asked, where Is themoney
to come from that Is necessary tc
continue the exemption from a direcl
state tax upon the property of the
state for state purposes. Two an
swers to this question are apparent
First, greater economy upon the part
of the legislature; secondly, we .ire
perhaps within a million or two mil
lions of dollars of the fulfillment of the
promises made by the dominant party
In the legislature to the people of the
state In the last p.irty platform. II
a recording tax of 2 ?nills or ZVi mills
were imposed upon the future mnrt
gages, It would produce all the revenue
necessary and we could go before the
peo'ile complying with their reasonable
and just demands for Improvements
without curtailing anything that may
be necessary and without indulging In
extravagance In government.
"I am so impressed with the neces
slty for some art Ion upon vour part,
that I take this opportunity of calling
It to your attention. Sensible of the
obligation which confronts those of us
who are charged -.vith the administra
tlon of the state's affairs, and of the
Justice, equity and the right that a
remedy phculd bp found for this cry
ing evil, I feel confident that some so
lution will b arrived at by those who
are In control of the legislative af
fairs of I he state that, will not only per
feet, the existing law. but which will
redound to the credit cf those who an
Instrumental In bringing it abcut."
