NEW FEATURE AT PORT ARTHUR
Next Time the Japs Go There 1t Will BE
"Ware Submarine"


st. Petersburg, April %. The
entrance into the service of four sub
marine boats at Port Arthur means
the addition of a new and formida BILE
weapon for the defense of that strong
hold The dispatch of the boats in
sections over the railroad has been
shrouded in secrecy, and even today
many in st. Petersburg are inclined
to doubt the report by officials Of their
presence at Port Arthur, or to accept
the information as trustworthy.
An effort now to close or blockade
Port Arthur will be too dangerous, it
is thought. for Vice Admiral Togo to
attempt. The defenders Of the port
will be able to guard against Japanese
submarine vessels entering the
harbor and attacking the Russian
ships at anchor. The officials here are
not certain that the japanese have
submarine boats, as they possessed
none before the war, but since the be-
ginning Of hostilities they undoubtedly
have laid down number of them.
The Russian submarine boats may
soon have an opportunity to demon
strate the value Of their type i'm war,
as the japanese fleet is reported at
Chefoo, and the interval of time it is
usually absent from Port Arthur has
about expired.

Lao Yang, April 27.-On April %
the Russians observed that the Japa-
nese were making preparations to
cross the Yalu river. On the night Of
April % two steamers and two torpedo
boats were noticed at the mouth OF
the river. They approached the shore
at daylight and the Japanese COM
menced to build pontoon on the left
tributary. a second pontoon was be-
ing prepared ten miles up the stream.
At o'clock the same afternoon the
japanese occupied the island of Samo-
Undo, to which they carried pontoon
boats, etc

BURTON CONVICTED
Senator From Kansas Guilty
of Accepting a Bride.
MAY LOSE HIS SEAT IN THE SENATE
His Letters Showed That He Was US
ing His influence to Prevent Issue
of Fraud order Against
RiaIto Company.

ST. LOUIS, March 29.-Joseph Ralph
Burton, senior United States senator
from Kansas, has been convicted by q
jury in the United States district court
Of having accepted compensation to
protect the interests Of the Rialto
Grain and Securities company of st.
Louis before the postofIice department.
The jury deliberated forty-one hours.
When the jury first came in Judge
Adams discovered they had failed to
dispose of the third count in the in
dictment. Judge Adams told the jury
to go back and consider the third
count.
Then came the announcement that
the verdict was guilty.
A motion for a new trial was inn
mediately filed by counsel for the SEN
ator. Judge Adams thereupon ordered
that Senator Burton appear in court
either in person or by proxy from day
to day until the court has heard the
arguments for a new trial.
If the verdict be sustained Senator
Burton will lose his seat in the SEN
ate and forever be prohibited from
holding any Office of public trust.
Senator Burton went directly from
the courtroom to his hotel after the
verdict was rendered. He spent some
time in the lobby talking with friends.
When asked if he had anything to say
concerning the verdict he said: II re-
fer all Inquiries to my attorneys. /
have nothing to say"
The evidence adduced against Sena-
tor Burton may be summarized as fol
lows:
He accepted a proposal to become
general counsel Of the Rialto Grain
and Securities company, concern
whose operations at the time were
under the scrutiny of the postofice
department.
Burton demanded $500 for his serv-
ices, but he was satisfied to be paid
in monthly installments Of $500 each
Soon after his employment it de-
veloped that the federal grand jury
was investigating the Brooks Broker
age company, with which Major Hugh
c. Dennis, president of the Rialto COM
pany, had been associated.
Numerous letters written by Burton
showed that the senator was using his
influence to prevent the issuance Of a
fraud order against the Rialto Grain
and Securities company.
Burton submitted regular reports to
the Rialto people, telling them how
matters were progressing at Wash
ington, advising them of complaints
filed at the postoffice department and
closing with the assurance that IF
you look after things at your end OF
the line / will attend to matters here"
Senator Burton's recourse is an APP
peal to the United States circuit court
Of appeals, which body is the final ar
bitter in his case.
Reference to q compilation of senate
election cases from 1889 to 1908 shows
no case Of expulsion of a senator for
conviction Of n crime, though there
have been instances where members
of the senate have resigned before &C.
ton on charges The first expulsion
from the senate for any cause was
that of William Blount who was a
senator from Tennessee from 1896 to
1899.

GIRL STUDENT SINGERS
They Plan an Extensive Tour Thru the
Northwest.

! "A band of sweet singers from theLuth-s:
eran Ladies seminary at Red Wing will

Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota The
first concert will be held In Minnea polls,
at the Zion Norwegian Lutheran church,
Sixth street and Twenty-fourth avenue
N, on June II, and from here the tour
will include Blooming Prairie and Austin,
Mimi; DEBORAH, Northwood, Bode and Es-
therville, Iowa; Flaridreau and Brandt, S.
D., and other places. The party will re-
turn again to Minneapolis on July for
its final appearance before disbanding.
The nucleus of the concert party is
Hjort's =, L. s. octet composed Of Misses
Grace Gronna. and Hazel Isaacs, first So
prano; Misses Linka nPreus and Lottie
Ingbertson, second soprano; Misses Ina
Solberg and Bessie Fries, first alto;

Jacob Lauritz. Hort & will accompany
the octet as musical director and tenor

duty as soprano soloist and chaperone.
The eleventh member Of the party will
be Miss Sunniva Scheie, accompanist, who
will also appear with Miss Halyorson in.

Two complete programs, one largely Of
religious music and the other secular
music, have been prepared but as the oc-
tet has q large repertory any number can
be substituted. Among the bravura num-
bers are Grieg's "Landsighting'' arranged

retaliatory acts our shipping increased
400 per cent between 1779 and 1912.
and from 1915 to 1874, our tonnage
Increased from 100000 to 1,977,4S8.
In 1851. the London Times warned
Englishmen that American clipper
ships are running the British mer-
chant marine by their superior speed,
and that the Starred flag is now COM
spicuous on every sea and will soon
defy our thunder"
This felicitous shipping condition
was lost by reason of Britain's resort
to steam, and iron shipbuilding, with
which we were not able to compete.
It is questionable If we are able now
to compete in that line. If we are
going into the policy Of making in
vestments in American-built ships at
tractive to capitalists. as in the coast
carrying trade, Mr.. Hills suggestion
of an export bounty would be as good
a way as any. The great trouble
about our shipping industries is that
other fields afford SO much more
profitable investment that capital is
not attracted that way. Certainly.
Mr.. Hills experience building his big
freighters Is not encouraging to
American capitalists to venture into
the shipbuilding business.
