been conveyed to him that it would be
just as well If he should not return to
the senate until his case finally has
been disposed of.
Members of the senate committee on
privileges and elections have discussed
informally the conviction of Senator
Rurton but until the matter comes be-
fore the committee the members are
loath to give their personal views.
Senators do not know of any prece-
dents. as no convictions of senators
are within the recollection of the old
est senators.
Reference to a compilation of sem
ate election cases from 1889 to 1903
shows no expulsion of senator fer
conviction of crime. tho there have
been instances where members of the
senate have resigned before action OH
charges.
The first expulsion from the senate
for any cause was that of William
Blount. who was a senator from Ten
nessee from 1896 to 1899. \ special in
yestigating committee found him guilty
of the authorship of a letter capable of
various constructions, but which. in his
own mind according to the letter, APP
Feared to be inconsistent with the in
terests of the United States and SPAIN
He was found guilty of high misde-
meanor, and a resolution of expulsion
was adopted by a vote of twenty five
TO one.
For completely in the Burr conspira-
cy an action was brought to expel John
Smith. a senator from Ohio from Oct.
IS, 1903, until he resigned on April %,
1908. Indictments had been found
against Senator Smith in the courts of
Virginia, but he was not convicted.

eracy, introducing a Texan whose

BURTON STILL A SENATOR.
Expulsion Must Be Voted Before II
I ocae Saaf-No pracedant

Loses Seat-No Precedent.
Washington, March 20. Senator
Burton does not lose his seat by the
mere fact of his conviction. He has
been prosecuted and convicted under a
statute which provides punishment in
ordinary form and which also dis
Qualities a person guilty of it's viola
ton from holding any office of trust or
profit under the United States. This
statute, however, is not automatic, and
Mr. Burton can retain his seat in the
senate, even If his conviction is sus-
tanned on appeal, until two thirds of
his colleagues vote to expel him.
More than hundred years ago the
senate decided members of congress
were not officers of the United States.
For that reason the senate refused to
try one of its members who was i'm
reached by the house. The constitu-
tion specifically declares each house
shall be the sole Judge of the qualifica-
tions of its own members. 1t is evil
dent therefore, that no court by any
judicial proceeding whatsoever could
take action which would of itself deter

Chicago business men lost $4,000 in 4
few hours play about fortnight ago.
The Chicago man and business
man, with a Brooklyn gambler named
Curtis, went to the gambling house, of
which Belts is the manager The Wis
itor from Chicago purchased $500
worth of chips. The lawyer also pur-
chased $500 worth of chips. Neither
man was fortunate and they were not
long in losing total Of $500, Of which
the Standard Oil man contributed 3d.
500.
Then the visitor from Chicago turned
his attention ITO roulette with pleasing
results. The man who operated the
wheel for the house was more thar half
intoxicated. He permitted the player
to make wagers much larger than the
limit, and in paying the wagers he.
passed out chips almost regardless OF the
amount. Soon the roulette wheel stood
to pay the player $11,5oO.
Then the attention of Lou Belts
was called ito what was going ON. Much
enraged he displaced the employee. He
spun the roulette ball himself. The
employee told the players they might as

impossible to win bet from Belts
Belts was relieved and then led the
man he suspected of attempting to rob
him into his private office, where the
latter in the quarrel drew big knife,
saying:

Belts sprang backwards to an open
desk, from which he caught up a re-
volver and compelled the man to dis
arm.
Soon after the roulette game ceased
the player from Chicago drawing out
about $4,000. The party of visitors
walked over to Broadway and encoun-
tered the discharged employe. He at
tempted to make an explanation. The
Standard Oil lawyer remarked that
he would have been well served if
Belts had shot him. The man there
upon knocked the lawyer down.
