NO BURTON SENTENCE
Col. Dyer Says He Won't Rush
Matters.

St Louis, March 31.-The bill of ex-
ceptions to be filed by the counsel for
United States Senator j. r. Burton of
Kansas. who was last Monday convict
ed in the United States district court
of having received compensation for
using his influence before the pcStofHce
department in behalf of the Rialto Grain
& Securities company of St. Louis, has
not been completed. Until Il is COM
pleted and submitted to the govern
ment for inspection and perusal, sem
tence will not be passed upon Senator
Burton 1t is considered probable that
a bill Of exceptions will have been COM
pleted by tomorrow, and immediately
submitted to United States District At
torney Dyer.
Colonel Dyer said to the Associated
Press today:
"I do not want to rush this matter
will carefully go through the bill Of
executions and it will probably take me
until Monday, for 1 understand the
document to be very voluminous. 1
could go through the formality of NOV
ing that Senator Burton be at once sem
fenced and turned over to the custody
of the United States marshal or placed
under bond, but don't want to do that.
as I prefer to do the whole thing at
formally filed with thescourt."
In the light of the disposition of Sem
ator Burton to waive his senatorial pre-
rogativc, which renders him immune
from arrest during the session of con-
gress, it is said that no time will be
lost in taking the case before the higher
court on appeal

Panama Grows Anxious About
Her S1O,OOO,OOO.

Panama, March 31-The greatest sur
prise is manifested in all circles here
over the alleged nonfulfillment by the
United States government of the agree
ment that on the exchange of ratifica-
tions of the canal treaty the United
States should pay to the new republic
the sum of $4,000, ,00O 1t is said the
delay of the United States to make the
payment has forced the government of
Panama to float a loan in New York
Washington, March 31-The reason
for the noEpayment up to the present
time of the $4,000, 900 to be paid Pan
ANA owing to the acquisition of the
canal territory doubtless is to be found
in the fact that the title cannot be
taken to the canal and the rights there
in until after certain necessary for
malities in Paris. whittier two law
officers of the department of justice
have gone to see that the Panama
canal company regularly conveys its
rights and title to the canal property.
The Associated Press on March 3 an
nounced that payments to the canal
company and to the republic of Pan
anna would be made concurrently about
April l.

BANDITS MAY GO FREE.
Bad Bungle Discovered in the
Proceedings at Chicago.

Chicago, March 31.-Seemingly a bad
DungIe IN the sentence of the car barn
bandits, Marx, Neidermier and Van
deem confronted the states attorney s
office today. Instead of speedy hang
Ing for the trio. a long legal battle
seemed in prospect. The Illinois stat
utes provide that the date set for
h-nging must not be earlier than the
tenth day of the next term of the
state supreme court, nor later than the
25th. April %, the date on which, ac-
cording to sentence, the bandits We're
to be hanged, will be the 9th day of
the supreme court term. The fact de-
veloped that attorneys for the defense
had been quietly waiting till Saturday,
next, when the present term of the
criminal court expires. Proceedings
were then to have been instituted to
have the sentence set aside and the
three bandits released. The states at
torney is wrestling with the problem
of how to correct the mistake if possi-

Their Tools.
Strike Results from Disagree

MITCHELL SENT FOR.
President of National Union
Asked to Intervene.
Trouble Extends Into Putnam
County, NO.

Des Moines. Ia, March 31.-The Iowa
miners and operators failed to agree
today and 1850 miners are on a strike.
Every mine in Iowa is closed.
Both sides have been trying for the
past six weeks to agree on an amicable
settlement. The split resulted from a
refusal on the part Of the operators to
raise the wages of the unskilIed men
and to lower the price of blasting pow
der demanded by the miners. The re-
fusal to increase the wages of unskiIled
workmen such as mule drivers and top
men at the beginning of the conference
extended to only certain districts where
that class of labor is unusually expen-
sive, but at the close of the conference
the operators demanded that it should
be universal and apply to every district
of the state.
The miners demand a reduction in tbs
price of blasting powder from 81 to $1-15
per can.
They demand uniform advance in
the scale OF wages paid to top men and
that drivers in districts No. 1 and 4
shall receive the same scale as in dis
tricts No. and 8.
The operators claim they are stand
ing by the Indianapolis agreement and
in so doing can not submit to general
increases in the wage paid unskillsd
labor throughout the district. There is
no dissatisfaction with the scale paid
skilled workfnen in any district. Tele-
grams were sent John Mitchell asking
him to come to Des Moines and aid in
a readjustment of the difficulties.
President White of the Iowa miners
said today:
THE miners have made every at
tempt to arbitrate and are unable to
reach an agreement. There is nothing
| else to do but to fight 1t out to the
end. 1 shall never sanction an agree
ment under the present conditions"
Leading operators say the position Of
| the miners IS untenable. 1t is believed
| the lockout may be the beginning Of
| a long and hard struggle. The strike
| and lockout include not only the
ltniners in Iowa, but those in Putnam
| county Mo.

INCREASED REVENUE.
Hereafter Kansas City, Kansas,
Joints Must Pay SlOO Monthly.

Kansas City, Kas., March 31.-The
fines of the joints in this city are to be
doubled next month A J. Murray,
chief of police. announced this morning
that after this month every person
found operating a ..joint" in Kansas
City, Kas.. will have to pay into the
police department a fine of $1OO a
month. This is twice as much as has
been charged in the past and on the
basis of the one hundred or more
Joints" now being operated, will mean
1000 month to the city.
The joint keepers have already been
prohibited by Chief Murray from sell
ing beer in cans, maintaining wine
rooms or the free lunch" nuisance
The police department will today pay
into the city treasury $500, practical
ly all Of which was collected as fines
from Joint keepers" This means that
sixty-one '.joint keepers have paid
800 each for the privilege of doing a
saloon business for the last two
months, the fines being on a basis of
$50 month. About thirty Joint keep
ers" paid s100 each last month.
The system of fines for operating
joints" was established in Kansas
City, Kas., by the old Metropolitan po-
lice board in 1887, on the theory that
the "toints'' could not be entirely sup
pressed, hence they must be regulated.

from Kansas, has been found guilty of
a grave offense.- Under the law the
sentence may involve his imprison-
ment or the imposition of a heavy fine,
at the discretion of the trial justice.
Again, he may secure a rehearing, and
another and another, finally escaping
altogether through some lawyers trick
or serviceable technicality. But tn sre
seems to be no doubt as to the facts
of the case-no doubt that Mr.. Burton
has sTnirched the ermine which every
American senator should guard against
the smallest stain.
With the subsequent proceedings in
the courts, the expedients, the impud-
ent and crafty devices of the attorneys
and the always astounding possibili-
ties of criminal practicable country
is not in the least concerned. Mr.
Burton may be absorbed by the peni-
Tertiary or go unwhipped of justice,
for all the people care. BY the stand
ard of his individual merits and inn
portance, he calls for no popular solici-
tude of any kind.
The fame of the United States senate,
however, is very different matter, and
here the incident touches every patriotic
nerve. J. r. Burton of Kansas is one
thing. Senator Burton is another. The
American people hold their senate in
proud and reverent esteem, as well they
mayi 1t is the most august and most
potent legislative body in the world to-
motive and purity of action, for justice,
wisdom and all cleanliness. Its honor is
dear to us. The integrity OF our institu-
tions depends upon it. Our faith, our
hope, our love of country, are wrapped
UP in it's virtue. We can imagine no
contentment or security or self-respect
as nation with the capital a thing of
suspicion and contempt and our law
makers attainted Of dishonor.
The duty of the senate in this matter
is too obvious for argument or illustra-
ton. Mr.. Burton may be unfortunate.
He may be less criminal than he seems.
The victim of his own folly or the wick
edness of others; the dupe, the sacrifice
call it what you will-he is, neverthe-
less, unfit to represent Kansas in the
American congress or to sit among the
representatives of the nation. The SEN
ate should not wait upon the issues of
the sharp practice of Mr.. Burton's at
torneys. 1t cannot concern the country
that he is juggled out of prison or fur
nished with shabby loophole of escape
What concerns the country is that, if
he should battle justice, it shall be in his
private and not in his official character.
The spectacle of a United States sena-
tor rescued from prison by a stroke OF
luck or cunning is not one which pat
riotic men will contemplate without sor-
l row and humiliation. Mr.. Burton should
go. and the senate, whether he be final
] ly incarcerate ted or at large, should know
! him no more. 1t is the only way

1t is believed the mountain drcpre

then shook New England really had its
birth in the Maine woods. Bald noun

REEDER FOR REPEAL.
Kansas Congressman Things Land
Laws Are Bad

Washington. March s1.-A hearing on
senate and house bills for the repeal Of
the timber and stone acts of the public
lands was held by the house committee
on public lands. Representative Fogg of
Colorado vigorously protested against the
repeal of these laws and Representative
Reeder of Kansas favored their repeal
Mr.. Reeder asserted that the public lands
of the country were being disposed of
under these acts at an alarming rate and
at a price $3.50 per acre. much below
their real value. In this way the BILE
timber and stone lands were being ac-
quired by large holders. Mill men and
lumber men were acquiring timber lands
and the stone lands were being gathered
by Guarrymen. A man would buy 160
acres at $3.50 per acre and then sell the
same to company.
Mr. Hogg maintained that if the repeal
bills We're reported Colorado should be
eliminated from their operation. The
men who acquired land under the timber
and stone acts in this state were poor
men and if they did sell to a corporation
they made n profit on the deal, which
was perfectly legitimate.
The committee postponed consideration
to Friday.

TERMINALS FOR TROLLEY.
Kansas City-Topeka Electric Line Is
Coming to Life Again

When the Kansas City-Topeka troll
ley line is built its route will be along
a private right of way, says the Kan
sas City Times. The projectors of the
road, Guy NJ. Walker and W. B.Strang,
electric railway builders of New York
city, do not believe in operating cleo
trio cars on a public highway Just
when the work of constructing the
road Will begin has not been determin-
ed. The right of way and terminal ia
cilities must first be obtained and the
roads promoters believe that the COM
munitieS that will be benefited by the
road should provide them free of cost.
The route for the road has practical
ly been agreed upon. It viii be through
the high country. and Westport will
be the Kansas City terminal point. The
ears will be operated from WeStport
over the Metropolitan's Westport car
line tracks to the heart of the city.
''Mr. Strang and Mr.. Walker are
practical electric railway builders, >
says a Kansas Cityan, who knows
them well, this morning. Unless a
right of way is obtained without cost
and terminal facilities given to them
they will not engage in the enterprise
for several years, if at all. The coun-
try between Kansas City and Topeka
is sparsely settled It is question if
the road would be a paying invest
ment for a good many years. Their
idea is that in the country south of
Westport there will be eventually
many fine homes and small farms, and
that people will seek quiet sites. For
this reason the road will not parallel
railroad. They want to get away
from noise and hustle and to have a
roadway of their own over which they
can operate cars at a high rate of
speed between stations
The promoters will probably return
to New York city todsy. A represen-
tative will engage in the task of secur-
ming the concessions demanded. When
he announces that he has been sue
cessful the money for the enterprise
will be forthcoming

Brought by Colombia
Against Plaintiff and Charges
Her With Cost.
ALL LEGAL OBSTACLES

ILL LEGAL OBSTACLES

Paris, March 31-The first civil tri-
bunal of the Seine today decided the
case of the Republic of Colombia
against the Panama Canal company in
favor of the defendants. The decision
holds that the complaint of Colombia
is not receivable and condemns the
plaintiffs to pay the costs OF the ac-
ton. This decision has the effect of
removing the legal obstacles in the
way of the transfer of the canal con-
cession from the company to the Uni
ted States.
