My wife she made me almost mad
She did not want on the farm to stay
She wanted to sell it and move away
So listed it for more than year
And still found myself right here.
The agents they took my place in hand
They were so sure they could sell the land
Isometimes think they did not try
For they never brought man to buy.
They gave wink with a knowing smile
And trted to fool me all the while.
With that knowing smile and wink
Thay could not fool me don'tyou think

and forever be prohibited from holding
any Office of public trust. Each count
constitutes a separate offense, and SEN
ator Burton could receive a peniten-
tiary sentence of two years or $4,000
fire on each count.
Senator Buttons recourse is an ap-
peal to the United States circuit court
of appeals, which body is the final ar
bitter in his case.
Senator Burton went directly from
the court room to his hotel after the
verdict was rendered. He spent some
time in the lobby talking with friends.
When asked IL he had anything to say
concerning the verdict, he said: 81 re-
fer all Inquiries TO my attorneys. 1 have
nothing to say"
The evidence adduced against Sena-
tor Burton may be summarized as fol-
lows:
In November. 1902. he accepted a
proposal TO become general counsel of
the Rialto Grain and Securities Com
pany, a concern whose operations ct
the time were under the scrutiny of
the postofiice department Burton de-
handed $4,000 for his services. but he
was satisfied TO be paid in monthly in
stalments OF $500 each.
Soon after his employment It devel-
oped that the federal grand jury was
investigating the Brooks Brokera sc
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 Washing
ton, advising them OF complaints filed
at the postofiice department. and clos
ing with the assurance that IF you
look after things at your end OF the
line. l will attend to matters here"

JERSEY LEGISLATURE TO MEET

Governor Murphy Issues a Call For
Special Session on April IL.
Trenton, N. j., March 30.-Governor
Murphy has issued a proclamation con-
vening the legislature in special ses-
sion on April -. The governor in his
proclamation gives two reasons for his
action. He recites the fact that re-
port was made to the legislature by
the Morris Canal commission and that
no action was taken thereon. He men
tons also the fact that the anti-pigeon
shooting bill failed to become a law.
These matters are both OF sufficient
Importance in the governors view to
warrant the special session proclama-
ton.
1t is probable at this special session
the governor will send in again the
names of the five nominees for state
prison inspectors who were not con-
firmed the last day of the session. 1t
is not thought that any other matter
will be taken up, although it will be
the privilege of the legislature to con-
slider any matters that the members
may desire to bring up.

ance with the statutes and which Is
not signed by three witnesses accord

Gil can be any part OF the will unless
signed by three persons in the pres

elusive and that no will drawn up in
this state shall be valid to pass unless

law and practice of Connecticut.

In England. and quoted from several
authorities sustaining his statements.
He said: There is absolutely no au-
thority that a paper executed as this
is and coming into existence as this
does that was ever admitted to pro
bate as a part of will
He said that the paper must be as
complete in every detail as a will it
self and has the same jurisdiction in
the statutes as any regularly drawn
testament.

Judge Gray would develop as a candi-

The movement for Judge Gray as a
second choice has reached the ears
or Judge Parker's managers in this
city. Two of these said they regarded
the movement as simply an effort to

the appellants moved in their efforts
to introduce evidence and at times he
directed bitter invectives and sarcasm

evidence the will, the SEALED letter"

TRAGEDY IN LONELY WOODS

Father, Daughter and Newborn In
fant Found Dying In Cabin.
Scranton, Pa. March 30--In a little
cabin in lonely woods near the state
line, far removed from habitation. is
the scene of the latest tragedy that has
startled the residents of Wayne county.
There William Hull, a "squatter," was
found dying alongside the unconscious
form of his 14-year-old daughter Mat
tie and the dead body OF 3-days-old
infant.
The awful discovery was made by
neighbors, whose suspicious had been
aroused by the non-appearance for
weeks OF anybody from the lonesome
house in the woods. The cabin is hid
den away in the woods half way be-
tween Duck Harbor and Reillyville.
Both father and daughter died before
a physician could be summoned. Hull
expired without making a statement
Of any kind. and his daughter never
regained consciousness. AS to who is
the father of the child Il a forbidding
surmise.
A physician who afterward examined
the three bodies declared that the man
had died of pneumonia, and that the
mother and child had died of neglect.
Hull himself was strange character.
For years he had lived in the unpre-
tentious cabin with his wife. Three
years ago his wife, who could not bear
his hermit life any longer, left him and
went to the home OF relatives in Pike
county. Since that time Hull lived
with his little daughter, who was born
in the cabin IA years ago.
What disposition will be made Of the
bodies Is not known. The county au-

whether the increase in wages granted

No decision was reached, and it is not
