SENATOR BURTON
SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF
Testifies Regarding His Relations With
the RiaIto Company.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, March 25.-Previous
to the defense resting its case today,
United States Senator Joseph r. Bur-
ton, of Kansas, took the stand in his
own behalf, in connection with the
charge of having illegally accepted fees
from the Rialto Grain and Securities
company, of st. Louis. When he had
concluded he was excused without
cross examination.
Senator Burton testified that he had
accepted the offer of the Rialto COM
pany to act as its general counsel be-
cause he had lost heavily in financial
panic and needed the $500 a month for
which his contract called.
II was assured by the company" he
said, that my services would not be
needed in Washington in any capacity,
1t was explained that Maj. Dennis
president of the Rialto company, had
become involved in trouble growing out
of the operations of the Brooks Broker
age company, and that part of my du-
ties would be to defend him in any
criminal action that would be brought
against him.
1.-The Rialto company was also to
have the use Of my name and my serv-
ices were to have been used in connec-
ton with securities department Of
the Rialto company, which at that time
was projected. l expected to familiar
lie myself with the condition of the
corporations offering the securities for
sale and become acquainted with the
officers of the trust companies which
make a speciality of handling securities
of that character"

MINNEAPOLIS
BICAMIST HAZARD
BEGINS TO Do TIME
Changes His Postoffice Address
to stlIlwater at the !equest
of the Court.

Samuel c. Hazard, convicted OF
bigamy, was taken tot Saltwater yes
terday. His wife, Viva kirkpatrick
Hazard, who brought about his undo
ing, was with her husband until 1:S0
o'clock, when he left the county jail
to begin his term in prison.
The trial of Hazard created ex-
traordinary interest In Minneapolis
and st. Paul, he having married Viva
kirkpatrick in the latter city. This
marriage was strenuously denied by
the defense in the case, but the scope
of Judge Brooks charge completely
enmeshed Hazard, as it was proven
that he had lived with the Fitchpat--
rick woman for years as her husband
and had always presented her as MS
wife to friends and acquaintances.
The couple were very happy until
DR.. Linda Burfield, an osteopathist,
came upon the scene. In short time.
according to the doctors version OF
the courtship, Hazard prevailed upon
her to give up her practice and marry
him, representing himself as eligible to
matrimony, despite his relations with
Viva Kirkpatrick. She claims that
Hazard won her heart completely and
that she believed in him implicitly url-
til he made up with "the Iowa girl,
shortly after his conviction.

DISTRIBUTION IN
TRADE FALLS OFF
Does Not Equal 1908. Though
Better Weather Is Helping
Retailers.

NEW YORK, March 25.-Brad-
streets tomorrow will say: Better
weather has helped retail trade, there
by strengthening the tone Of wholesale
and jobbing business, hitherto rather
pessimistic because of the backward
spring demand. Distribution as a
whole, however, is not up to year
ago. Additional favorable features are
the unquestionably better winter wheat
conditions, due to general rains
throughout the Southwest and evil
dence of further activity and strength
in the iron and steel trades. Weather
conditions also have allowed of in
building, but, signs of increased ten
sion in labor matters constitute
drawback at several large centers.
Country roads are bad and collections
are a source of complaint. Railway
earnings tend to improve as transpor-
tation difficulties are surmounted, and
the outlook is that gross receipts for
March will show a slight increase over
year. ago. Lack of cars is still sub
-ject of complaint. The averting of the
strike in the bituminous coal Industry
is a strengthening feature to general
business throughout the West, but
prices, which had advanced on the fear
of a conflict, still show considerable
steadiness. Spring goods in nearly all
lines are in better request at nearly all
Northern centers.
Conservatism is still feature in the
cotton goods centers, the market for
which shows scarcely any effect of the
Southern trade displays seasonable
quietening down, the agricultural sec
lions being busily engaged in planting
what is expected to be the largest acre
age of cotton ever sown.
The metal markets are satisfactory.
Following the activity In pig iron
noted last week, there has come a lull
in buying demand. but ne evidence of
weakness in prices. Finished products
have improved. Sales Of steel rails are
rather more numerous and Transport
tation companies are said to be better
buyers of shop and track materials, an
order for 5000 cars having been placed
with Chicago manufacturers. Pitts;
burg reports the market for steel bill
lets and sheets very firm, with demand
good.
The country's iron furnaces are pref
ty well supplied with orders up to July
1, and finishing mills have got fully
three months production booked. A
good volume of business in structural
materials, bars and supplies for pipe
manufacturers is in hand, and agri-
cultural implement men have continued
to be good buyers. Other metals have
been rather stronger, copper notably In
an increased foreign and domestic de-.
mand. Tin also has strengthened in
price.

EVICTED sQUATTERS
DEMAND THEIR RIGHTS
cass Lake Men Appeal to President and
Minnesota congressman.

DULUTH, Mimi, March 25.-The evict-
ed squatters on Cass Lake Indian reserva-
tion lands will at once appeal to President
Roosevelt to secure what they term their
rights. They are highly incensed be-
cause Maj. Scott, acting Indian agent,
ordered their removal from the lands a
few days ago, although knowing that he
was simply following orders. The lands
upon which the squatters settled are not mot
are outside the provisional boundary es-
tabIished BY the. forestry bureau a The The
just been cut and removed according to
the Morris law. Section of that law
says that after the timber is removed the
tract shall be classed and treated as agri-
cultural land and opened up to settlement;
Some of the claimants in the disputed
territory had purchased small frame dwell
lings from squatters on the famous sec
ton 16, and moved them to the tract they
had selected. Upon the notification of the
Indian agent to vacate they locked their
cabin doors and came into Cass Lake to
await a settlement. Not only will Presi-
dent Roosevelt be appealed to, but the
Minnesota delegation in congress, steps
to that end being taken today.

NEW YORK, March 25.-The democrat

WILL ASK COURT TO
ENJOIN SCALPERS
Merchants Take Hand In Fight Against
Chicago Ticket Brokers.

CHICAGO, March 25.-nCommissioner
Donald has been authorized by the Cen
trail Passenger association and the Ma
tional Association of Merchants and Trav-
elers to make application to the federal
courts for injunctions 4 against all the
ticket scalpers In Chicago to restrain
them from dealing in any Rind of non
transferable tickets, practically forcing
their removal sya9
Mr.. Donald will make the application as
soon as his attorneys h1vei prepared the
necessary documents. Passenger men have
no doubt the courts herelswill, follow the
precedent set by Judge sThayer at St.
Louis and grant the injunction.
The railroads, feel that federal injunc
lions against the scalpers are far more
effective than antt-scalping laws passed
by either state or national legislation.
The Illinois legislature several years ago
passed a stringent anti2scalping law, but
the brokers had 1t declared unconstitu-
tional, and it is felt they would find
means to nullify a national law. They
cannot evade an Injunction issued by a
federal judge, as any violation will con-
stitute contempt of court.
In anticipation of securing the 1njunc-
ton the Central Passenger association at
meeting in Chicago yesterday decided
to defer action until April on the ques-
ton of granting stop-over privileges at
Chicago on ST. Louis worlds fair tickets.
InlS agreement Dy du- the EdSIelII iiiSS
was reached after Commissioner Donald
had announced that the mercantile and
manufacturing interests of Chicago had
assured him that they would cooperate
with the railroads in efforts to secure In
functions against scalpers.
Mr.. Donald said that representatives. OF
the National Association of Merchants
and Travellers had Informed him mer-
chants of Chicago felt that unless stop
overs were granted at Chicago on world s
fair tickets business interests of this city
would be severely. injured Many OF the
merchants from Western and Southwest
ern cities. who generally come to Chi
cago to make purchases, would go direct
to St. Louis.
Steps are being taken by the scalpers
to fight the combined attack with Whlcn
they are threatened.
