St. Louis, Mo-, March 25.-Previous to the defense resting it's case late today, United States Senator Joseph Ralph Bur ton of Kansas took the stand in his own behalf in connection with the charge of having illegally accepted fees from the Rialto Grain and Securities company of St. Louis. When he had concluded, he was excused from the stand without cross-examination by the government.
 Senator Burton testihed that he had accepted the offer of the Rialto company to act as it's general counsel because he had lost heavily in financial panic and needed the $500 a month, for which his contract called
 T was assured by the company" he said, that my duties would not be need ed in Washington in any capacity. It was explained that Major Dennis, presi- dent of the Rialto company had become In trouble growing out of the operations of the Brooks Brokerage company and that part of my duties would be to defend 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 have been used in connection with a securities department of the Rialto com pany which at that time was projected expected to familiarize myself with the condition Of the corporations offering the securities for sale, and become acquaint- GU Wlth me creditors of the trust com pailies which make q speciality of hand ing securities of that character"

Judge krum Asks Question.

Judge krum asked;
 Inspector Cochran stated in his testi- mony that you had expressed a desire to him to form a practice before the depart ments in Washington. Did you do so?"
 "I told MT. Cochran" replied Senator Burton. that other senators and repre- sentatives had built up large private prae- tices during their terms of office, and that l in small way desired to emulate them. MT Cochran and 1 are from the same state"
 Judge Krum then asked MT. Burton to tell the jury whether at any time he had ever said anything which could be con- strued into meaning that his purpose was to influence them in the performance of their official duties to either Mir, Coch ran, the postmaster general, the fourth assistant postmaster general or the as sistant attorney general in charge of post office affairs.
 Senator Burton replied: Absolutely none whatever

 Reference was made In that letter to the indictment of MT Dennis" continued Senator Burton, 'and I called upon Chief Postofiee Inspector Cochran at Washing ton, and he told me that he did not know anything about the indictment. then asked him If there were any complaints against the concern"
 Judge Chester H. Krum, who was con- ductng the examination, asked Senator Burton why he inquired about the com plaints.
 Because l had just been employed by the company as it's general counsel" re- plterd Senator Burton. and wished to satisfy myself regarding it's standing in the department. l had been assured that IL was all right, but l wanted to satisfy myself
 '1 told Inspector Cochran" continued the Senator that should anything come to his notice in the nature of complaint against the Riato company l wished that he would call my attention to it. as I could not afford to be connected with a company that did not obey the laws"
 Senator Burton explained his visit to the postoffice department with Major Dennis as follows:
 Major Dennis came 10 Washington to consult me in regard to the indictment that had been returned against him by the federal grand jury. We were driv- ing past the postoffice department and l suggested that we go in and that would introduce him to the Fourth Assist ant Postmaster General MT. Bristow MT. Bristow was out, however. and as we were leaving the building we passed the room of the chief postoffice inspector Cochran l suggested that we call, I in- troduced Major Dennis and he and Mr. Cochran talked on several matters.

viii Do Away with Discrimination
Against Small Shippers.
Chicago Feb. 18-Paul Morton, vice
president OF the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railway system, in an article
just published by the University OF
Chicago Press declares that pooling
of interests is the solution OF pres
ent railway troubles, and that it will
be Iegalized in the near future. He
gives as his opinion that the prefer
ential rates which have resulted in
Interstate commerce law, prohibiting
trusts and combinations, are a menace
to justice and fair play and must be
done away with. He says:
Il have always been an advocate OF
legalized pooling, because l believe it
will go long way toward lnsuring
a maintenance of tariffs and thereby
prevent favoritism and inside rates
to large shippers and great cities.
believe that the foundation OF the
state itself is threatened by any long
continued discrimination against the
small shipper and the small town
when all the railroads ae owned by
one syndicate" he continued, after
a prophecy that such viii be the case,
there will arrive a time when a ve-
hement demand will be made for gov
ernment ownership and operation of
the railroads of the United States"
