KANSAS SENATOR INDICTED
FEDERAL GRAND JURY GOES AT
TER J. r. BURTON.
Charged on Nine Counts With Accept
ing Checks of $500 Each for Ser
vices Rendered to Rialto Securities
Company, "Get Rich Quick" Con-
Germ of st. Louis.

st. Louis, Jan. 25.-The federal
grand jury has returned an indictment
against Joseph Ralph Burton, United
States senator from Kansas, charg-
ing him, on nine counts, with accept
ing five checks of $500 each, from the
Rialto Grain and Securities company,
between November %, 1902, and March
26, 1903, while a United States senator
for his alleged services in interceding
with the postmaster general, chief
postoffice inspector and other high
postoffice officials to induce them to
render a favorable decision in matters
affecting the permission of the Rialto
company to use the mails.
Major Hugh G. Dennis, president of
the company, and w. b. Mehaney, as
ISOLATED with him, are named in the
Indictment as the men who made the
checks to Burton.
The Rlalto Grain and Securities
company has been under investigation
by the state for several months on &C
count of internal troubles and the
complaints of investors.
Indictments have been found against
the president, Major Dennis, and 9th
ers of the officers, but they never have
| been convicted.
The Rialto companys officers were
closed by court officials on attach
ments secured by alleged creditors,
but were reopened after arrangements
to satisfy the claims had been made.
For several days past William e.
Cochran, chief postoffice inspector
from Washington; Major Hugh c. Den
mis-, and w. B. Mehaney have been be-
fore the grand jury and it is believed
the Indictment was found on their tes-
timony.
Senator Burton's alleged interces-
sion, it is stated, was to prevent the
issuance of a fraud order against the
/, Rialto Grain and Securities company
r AS a result of his connection with
, the company, Dennis was indicted in
both the federal and state courts, but
the United States court acquitted him
-Four indictments found in state courts
= against Dennis are still pending.
