WHAT BURTON WAS
INDICTED FOR
CHARGED WITH USING HIS IN
FLUENCE AS A SENATOR TO
HELP THE RIALTO COMPANY.

ST. LOUIS, January 23.-The Federal
Grand jury today returned an indict-
ment against Joseph Ralph Burton,
United States Senator from Kansas,
charging him on nine counts with ac-
cepting five checks of $500 each from
the Rialto Grain and Securities Com
pany while United States Senator, for
his alleged services in interceding with
the Postmaster General chief Postoffice
inspector and other high officials to in
duce them to render a favorable deci-
sion in matters affecting the permission
of the Rialto Company to use the
mails.
Major Hugh c. Dennis, president of
the company and w. B. Mehaney, as
ISOLATED with him, are named in the
indictment as the men who made the
check to Burton.
Senator Burton is charged with ac-
cepting money from the Rialto Grain
and Securities Company in the form
of a check on the Commonwealth
Trust Company on November %, 1902.
For several days past William E.
Cochran, chief Postoffice inspector
from Washington; Major Hugh c..
Dennis and w. B. Mehaney have been
before the Grand jury and it is be-
lieved the indictment was found on
their testimony.
The purpose of Senator Burtons al
legged intercession was, it is stated, to
prevent the issuance of fraud order
against the Rialto Grain and Securities
Company. AS a result of his connec-
ton with the company, Dennis was in
dicted in both the Federal and State
courts, but the United States Court ac-
quilted him. Four indictments found
in State courts against Dennis are still
pending.
The Rialto Grain and Securities
Company has been under investigation
by the State courts for several months,
on account of internal troubles and the
complaint of investors.
The Ratios Offices were closed by
court officials on attachments secured
opened after arrangements to satisfy
the claims had been made.
WASHINGTON, January 23.-When
shown the above dispatch Senator
Burton said he could not imagine why
the indictment had been found. He
was employed as attorney for Dennis
to defend him against an indictment.
Dennis came here, Burton says, to
consult with him as to the proceed
lngs, and the Senator accompanied
Dennis to the Postohice Department
and asked If any charges had been
filed against Dennis. He further asked
Inspector Cochran to inform him Dur
ton )if charges were filed against Dem
mis- in future.
Senator Burton said he specifically
stated that he did not appear against
the government in any manner. SEN
ator Burton says he will go at once to
st. Louis and defend the case, and has
no doubt that he will be able to make
1t perfectly clear that there was no
reason for bringing the Indictment"

The numbering bureau was organized
under an act Of the legislature of 1901,
by former Superintendent of Public
Works James H. Boyd, and A. r. Muir
ply was placed n charge of the work
at the start. He has placed official
numbers on about 20 per cent OF the

has had surveys made which furnish
the Office with complete information as
to every lot, as far as the work has
gone.
About 5000 a month is saved by cut
ting out the numbering bureau. The
work Of the bureau as already accom-
plished has been of great benefit to the
post Office employees, snce the introduce

senate, Patterson on uo,oo..

Hon. +. NJ. Patterson recently
addressed the members OF the
executive committee of the AmeIi-
can Federation OF Labor at Denver
and told them some unpleasant
truths. He told them that unin-
terrupted success had begotten
over confidence and that over con
fidence had fostered an intolerant
spirit. causing the organization OF
Citizens alliance and kindred or
ganization to protect business
interests. The sympathetic strike
caused untold injury to innocent
people and the people have now
organized to protect themselves
against being injured by unneces
sary strikes. The governor has
done, in Senator Patterson's opin
ion, many lawless things, but the
appalling thing to him is that
public opinion stands behind him.
Public opinion which has stood
behind the union IN hundreds OF
struggles has veered around and
the governor has found that how
ever extreme his measures to
restore the business industries Of
the state to their status before
these troubles commenced, the
best merchants OF the state en-
dorse it; the most important OF our
manufacturing establishments en-
dorse it. Go through the business
circles in Denver, in Colorado
Springs. in Pueblo, Cripple Creek,
LeadviIle and elsewhere and the
startling thing is that the CONNER
cial and industrial public opinion
seems to stand behind the COVER
nor in whatever stand he has
taken.
And whyl 1t is because the
merchants and manufacturers
believe that many Of these strikes
are unjust; that they have been
compelled to suffer without being
guilty Of offence, etc. Senator
Patterson has been one OF the
strongest advocates Of the unions
in this state and he has been their
legal advocate in the courts. That
he should address such words to
the officers Of the Federation
shows that a wonderful change has
occurred in sentiment towards the
unions. aud that the unions are in
. large manner responsible for the
change. Rocky Ford Enterprise.

FAvoRs A NEW COURT HOUSE.

Judge Gordon, in his charge to
the grand jury. calls especial at
tention to the condition OF the
court house. His remarks were
indeed timely. 1t s fact not re-
rendered or known by many that
the Crittenden county court house
has burned twice since the break
ing out of the civil war. and the
present walls are but the repaired
and rebuilt portions OF the burn
ed structure. Our records are all
exposed to the fire demon. which
you never know when to expect,
and which usually comes like a
thief in the night" and when the
least expected. The hall for hold
ing the sessions Of court is not
only inadeq uate but lie sorely in
need OF renovating. The fact is,
Marion and Crittsnden county is
in the line of advancement and
our progressive circuit judge be.
lisves in keeping the ball rolling"
There is not a county in Kentuc-
Ky with the wealth and natural re-
sources that We have, but what has
better quarters for it's county Off
cials, not 10 mention the reoordo.
Even Bell county, has a $4,000
court house at Pineville; Laurel a
$25, 900 one at London; Whitley a
$50, 900 ono at Williamsburg; and
30 on all over the State. Ii the
court house and records should
burn here now il would almost
ruin the county. Let take Judge
Gordon's cue and have & hall OF
Justice worthy Of our county, snd
one where all matters of record
will be SECURE from destruction.

Now that the legislature h 40 adj
journed and the lawmakers gone
home, it's not out of order to give
praise where due to our own young
representative, Hon T Everett
Butler, who 80 ably represented
this and Livingston counties in
the House OF Representatives. Be.
sides introducing the bill extend.
ing the common school term from
) to & months, which was one Of
the most important bills of the
session, he also introduced House
Bill No. 81. Of which the Courier
Journal has the following to say;

So respportioning the sheriff's 70.
venue as to provide 26t cents in
stead of 22t cents for the common
school fund. in order to meet the
increased expenses incurred thro.
ugh the passage OF Senate Bill
No. 30. extending the common
school term from five months to
six months. This is one OF the
most important bills passed by the
General Assembly. The o n | y
question was whether the term
should be increased or whether
the state tax rate should be redu-
ced, the revenues having grown
until they were in excess of the
requirements. II was thought wi
ser not to reduce the tax rate, but
to give the children of the state
the benefit OF this money.
Besides these Mr.. Butler was
alert and on the floor when Carl
Days bill prohibiting the co-edu.
cation of the races was up, and at
the request of the author of the
bill he made the first argument in
its favor.
Another instance was Senate
bill No. 26. Mr.. Butler was the
only member of the house who
spoke in it's favor. The bill pro-
vides that persons summoned for
jury service shall DO paid for first
day, whether accepted or not.
