CITY SOLICITORS OPINION.
The opinion OF the city solicitor re-
auested by the mayor Is as follows;
City OF Providence. Feb. 4 1904
Hon. Augustus s. Miller. Mayor OF the
city OF Providence.
Dear Sir-I have 20 acknowledge receipt
of your favor OF the Sd inst, enclosing a
copy of the Joint resolution of the city
council providing for application TO the
general assembly for the creation or
commission to manage. regulate and con-
troll the public schools OF the city OF Provi-
dence.
As 10 your request that l inform you
what duties. I should feel, were incum-
bent upon me to perform in pursuance
of the instruction contained I'm said reso-
luton. / have the honor 10 reply that n
Is apparent, that any act creating a school
commission must contain some provision
as to the method OF such creation. and
I'm the absence OF any instruction oy the
city council as TO the method, IL seems TO
me that / would not be warranted IN
specifying or advocating any particular
method relative to any act to create such
a commission.
II therefore II was the intent OF the city
council 10 leave to the legislature the de-
termination OF the method OF creating
such a commission l should consider the
resolution as simply instructing me 10
favor the passage OF any act which snouid
provide for the creation OF school COM
mission, and perhaps TO oppose any act
relating to the management or the pup
lie schools of the city OF Providence which
aid not provide for the creation OF such
a commission.
Respectfully submitted,
fsigned) FRANCIS COLWELL,
City Solicitor.

yention having In charge the arrange
ments for the national convention In
this city met yesterday with the To-

tions that have been made at the Coll

time between the members of the
two committees. 1t was explained to
the members Of the national commit
tee at the outset that Chicago had
never promised to put up for the use
Of the national committee such a sum
as $15, 900, nor, in fact, had It promised
TO put up any sum Of money at all.
What II had promised was to pay all
the bills Of the convention and this
II would do. II was decided that all
the bills for the convention are to be
turned over to the local committee
and they will provide for their pay
ment.

senator was using his influence to pre-
vent the issuance Of fraud order
against the Rialto Grain and Securi-
ties company. Burton submitted regu-
lar reports to the Rialto people, tell
ing them how matters were progress
Ing at Washington, advising them of
complaints filed at the post Office de-
partment and closing with the assur-
ance that 'if you look after things at
your end of the line will attend to
matters here"
Post office officials testified that
Senator Burton had told them he in
tended to practice before the depart
ment; that he had lost $4,000 in the
panic and desired to make some
money as a practicing lawyer"

yesterday, for three hours discussed
the recent order Of the pension bu-
reau making old age an evidence oi

Of Columbia appropriation bill. The
discussion Of the pension order was
based on the resolution offered some
days ago by Senator Carmack direct
ing the committee on the judiciary to
inquire into the authority of the ex-
ecutive branch Of the government to
make such an order, Senator Car
mack contended that no such author
ity exists but several republican SEN
ators argued that the order was In
line with the regulation issued by
Judge Lochren, commissioner Of PEN
sions under Mr.. Cleveland, fixing 65
years Of age as an evidence of infrm-

Tme SENATOR DECLARED ne never SAID any
thing to the Post Ohice Authorities
which Could Influence Tbem inTheir
Duties-Defense Closed Its Case.
st. Louis, March 26.--Previous to
the defense resting its case late yes
terday United States Senator Joseph
Ralph Burton, Of Kansas, took the
stand in his own behalf, IN. connec-
ton with the charge of having ille-
gally accepted fees from the Rialto
Grain and Securities company, of St.
Louis. When he had concluded he
was excused from the stand without
ross-examination by the govern
ment
Senator Burton testified that he had
accepted the offer Of the Rialto COM
pany to act as its general counsel be-
cause he had lost heavily in fnan-
cial panic and needed the $500 a
month for which his contract call I'd.
Il was assured by the company he
said, that my services would not be
needed in Washington in any capac-
ity. 1t was explained that Maj, Dem
mis-, president Of the Rialto company,
had become involved In the trouble
growing out Of the operations Of the
Brooks Brokerage company and that
part of my duties were to be to de-
fend him In any criminal action that
would be brought against him. The
Rialto company was also to have the
use of my name and my services were
to be used in connection with a Sc
curities department Of the Rialto COM
pany, which at that time was project
cd. expected to familiarize myself
with the condition Of the corporations
offering the securities for sale and be-
come acquainted with the officers OF
the trust companies who make spe-
cialty Of handling securities of that
character. Senator Burton testified
that he had received a letter from
Thomas Harlan, local attorney for the
Rialto company, notifying him of his
appointment as general counsel on
November 20, 1902.
Reference was made in that letter
to the indictment Of Maj. Dennis"
continued Senator Burton, "and
called upon Chief Post ONCE inspect
or Cochran at Washington. asked
him whether Dennis had been indict-
ed and told him that If 1t was done
that | expected TO assist him in his
defense. Cochran told me that he did
not know anything about II. do not
how the matter arose, but |
explained to Cochran that Dennis
owned the Rialto company and asked
him II there were any complaints |
against the concern"
Judge Chester H. Krum, senior
counsel for the defense, asked Sena-
tor Burton why he inquired about the

company as its general counsel" re-
,lied Senator Burton, and wished to
Iatisfy myself regarding its standing

hen its counsel, knew very little
bout its workings. had been as
ured that 1t was all right. but
wanted to satisfy myself"
