A SWEEPING CHANGE


ALEXANDRIA, va, August IL, ISI4
There is furry in business circles in
Alexandria today consequence of the
order issued to the police to enforce the
cid law prohibiting labor and trade on the
Sabbath. The operation of the law to the
limit of the letter, which is promised by
the police department., is expected to prove
highly sensational. There seems to be no
doubt that most of the ordinary business
interests which flourish in this city all the
days of the week. will be either entirely
suspended or considerably interrupted to-
morrow. The consequences are the SUBJECT
of much conjecture 1t is predicted that
the enforcement of the law will prove not
only a jar and a shock to the machinery
of business enterprise, but will also occa-
sion no little distress and embarrassment
among the citizens in general What Will
the housekeepers do without ice and milk
and other things that have come to be re-
earded as the neceSsaries of everyday life!
is Il question which is causing general con-
Germ.
The prohibition of the Sunday newspaper,
the traffic at the cigar stands and soda
water fountains. and other such things,
though second in Importance to the sup
plies for the table and the refrigerator, are
prolific of irritation. Practically everything
that can be listed is to be included in the
wide and liberal Interpretation of the state
law in question. The section which is to
be enforced expressly excludes works or
necessity or charity and household labor
but 1t has been decided by the police de-
partment to consider such WORKS as tne
delivery of ice and milk coming within
the prohibitive scope of the law, explicit
orders having been issued to suppress these
enterprises.

Burton had gone to the Southern
hotel. A marshal was sent to notify him
to appear in court. The senator came
into the court room at ten minutes
after 12. He had been sent for half
hour before, and the long delay caused
a rumor to spread that he had col
lapsed. Few people were in the court
room when he entered. He took his
seat by the side of his attorny. Mr.
Lehman, and looked the jurors in the
face as they entered.
Have you reached a verdict in the
case?" asked the judge.
I'VE have" said the foreman.
Hand it to the clerk" said the
court.
Judge Adams looked at the verdict
and said:
you have made no disposition of
count three
I'VE have agreed as to that" said
Mr.. Charles Wall, the foreman.
The judge instructed the jurors to
retire and include their findings as to
count three in the written verdict.
During the fifteen minutes the jury
was out not word was spoken in the
court room. A funeral service could
not have been more solemn. Neither
w. H. Rossington, Charles Blood
Smith, Representative Campbell nor
other friends of Senator Burton were
present at this time. Senator Burton
sat immovable, looking neither to the
right nor the left. The jury returned
again at 1926.
1--WE, the jury. find the defendant
guilty on counts one, two, six, eight
and nine in the indictments, and not
guilty on count three"
There was no perceptible change i'll
Senator Burtons countenance, when
the verdict was read. Judge Krum
asked to have the jury polled. Each
answered that the verdict was his own.
Judge Krum forthwith presented d
motion for new trial. The court re-
piled that the bond of $4,000 was err
tirely sufficient. The court did not pass
sentence
Court having adjourned Senator Bur-
ton calmly lighted a cigar and turning
to his attorneys and his private secra-
tary, Colonel w. W. Smith began a
conversation in a low tone. He ap-
peared completely composed.
If today's verdict is sustained Sera-
tor Burton will lose his seat in the
senate and forever be prohibited from
holding any office of public trust. Each
count constitutes a separate offense
and Senator Burton could receive a
penitentiary sentence of two years or
a $4,000 fine on each count. Senator
Burton's conviction is the first under
this section of the statute which was
enacted by congress in 1864.

Miners Returning to Telluride
Again Driven Out.
ALL KINDS OF CHARGES
Are Made Against Members of
the Union.
Some of Those Deported
Warned Never to Return.

Denver, Colo, March 2S.- Special
counsel have been sent from this city
to Telluride who will take charge of
the case of Charles H Meyer. presi-
dent of the Western Federation of
Miners, who is held in Jail on charge
of desecrating the flag. Governor Pea
body has declared that both President
Meyer and William D. Haywood, sec,
retary of the Western Federation of
Miners, will be prosecuted to the ut
most limit on the flag desecration
charge, which is based on the use of
a picture of the flag as background
for various announcements on posters.
Of the twelve deported Telluride
miners who attempted to return to
their homes under protection of the in
junction issued by District Judge The
ron Stevens, four a least have again
been deported by the military and
warned never to return. Another, Stew
art B. Forbes, secretary of the Tellu-
ride miners union, has been arrested
on charge Of perjury.
1t is alleged that he is an English
subject and voted at elections at Tel
luride without filing a certificate of
citizenship.
No news has reached Denver since
Saturday night of any further deporta-
tiops of organizers of the United Mine
Workers from the southern coal fields,
but the strict censorship exercised at
points that are under martial law,
makes it difficult to obtain accurate
information promptly.
Il do not know why we were made
to leave Las Animas county, said w.
M. Wardjon, one of the deported union
organizers.
1--WE have done nothing which would
bring US within the pale of the law.
but the military authorities probably
thought that by seeking us out they
would be better able to break the
strike. What our future movements
will be 1 do not know, but we will
await instructions from President

A CONTRADICTION
Denver. Colo, March 2S.-A censored
telephone message received from Tel
luride at noon today said that all de-
ported miners who had attempted to
return have been turned back by the
military except Stewart B. Forbes
who was arrested. This information
is fiat contradiction of the statement
made by the governor on Saturday
night.

R1ALro NOT THE FIRST.
Senator Burton Connected With the
Weltmer Magnetic School.

The Rialto Grain and Securities
company was not the first fraudulent
concern with which Senator Burton
had been connected. In fact, his con-
nection with the Rialto company was
brought about by his connection with
another concern which had trouble
with the federal authorities.
This other concern was the Weltnler
Magnetic School of Nevada, Mo, which
advertised extensively about three
years ago. 1t turned out to be fraud
ulent and it was barred from using
the mails Just how Senator Burton
represented the concern is not known,
but he was it's representative in some
way.
The advertising for the Weltmer
concern was handled by H. w. Kastor
pany handled the advertising matter
for Major Hugh c. Dennis, president
of the Rialto company, and when Dem
mis- got into trouble with the federal
authorities Ernest H. Kastor, who had
got acquainted with Senator Burton
through his connection with the Welt
rner concern, recommended MIN TO
Dennis as a good man to represent
Dennis at Washington.
Kastor told on the witness stand how
he brought Burton and Dennis to-
gether In November, 1902, when Bur-
ton was on his way to Washington,
Kastor met him at the Union station
in St. Louis and took him in carriage
to the Rialto building to see Dennis
Burton explained that he was in a
hurry to catch a train to Chicago
where he had another important en-
gagement. and Dennis sent his local at

MR.. BURToN's CAREER
He Has Always Been Very Active
and Persistent.

1t has been twentyfour years since
Senator Burton began his part in the
political affairs of Kansas. In that time
he has held only one other office be-
sides the one he now occupies. He has
been a candidate for others, unsuccess-
fully but the years have been filed with
political activity. His mind was set on
a senatorship from the start; that was
the only office in the gift of the state
that he cared anything about. 1t came
within his grasp three years ago. He
had built up his political power by nine
teen years of work for the Republican
party, campaigning in his state and
throughout the United States in the in
terest of presidential candidates.
Senator Burton was born on farm
near Mitchell, Ind, in 1852. He spent
his boyhood working on the farm for
nine months of the wear and during the
other three he attended the district
school and sat beneath the ministrationS
of the typical "Hoosier schoolmaster -
Later he attended the academy at
Mitchell and at IS entered Franklin col
lege, remaining two years.
In addition to the usual studies he
took up the study of oratory and later,
when he went to DePauw and Asbury
universities. it came in good stead. He
went out in the country villages and
taught the youths elocution and earned
enough to keep himself in school. He
may not have been very profoundly
versed in the art, but it was his delight.
LII. w dyldIu, JOnIl clark f1lQpdEn ana
Bishop Bowman were among his teach
ers and DR.. J. B. Denote was his
roommate.
Leaving college, he read law in In
dianapolis with the firm of Gorden,
Brown & Lamb. In 1875 he opened a
law office in Lafayette. Ind, and at
once took part in politics. He was on
the Republican electoral ticket in 1876
and made sixty-three speeches in that
campaign. It is noteworthy that this
was, with the exception of three terms
