ST. Louis,

St Louis. March 29.-Joseph Ralph
Burton United States senator from
Kansas, was convicted by jury in the
United States District Court yester-
day on the charge of having accepted
compensation to protect the interests
OF the Rialto Grain & Securities Com
pany of st. Louis before the postoffi ce
department. The jury deliberated for
ty-one hours.
No similar case has ever been known
at Washington, and the action of the
Senate is problematical
Kansas lawyers say conviction va
Gates Burton's seat and at Topeka J. L.

toned for the place
A motion for a new trial was imme-
diately filed by the counsel for the
senator. Judge Adams thereupon or
dered that Senator Burton appear in
court either in person or by proxy at
10 O'Clock from day to day until the
court has heard the argument for
new trial, and if decided against him
to fix his punishment.
For time there threatened to be a
disagreement in the jury. The jury
was brought before Judge Adams, who
asked the cause for the long delay. He
was told that eleven jurors had agreed
but the twelfth stood alone.
The court admonished the lone juror
that the expenses of new trial
should not be incurred because of him
waiting to agree with the Majority of
the jurors. A precedent was quoted
showing that the majority of the jurors
should decide the case before them and
verdict be rendered accordingly. The
jury was then told to poll its vote once
more, Soon after the jury reported,
bringing in verdict, but Judge Adams
found that the third count in the in
dictment had not been considered, and
again he sent the jury back to con-.
slider the case. without having an
nounced the verdict returned.
The third time the jury entered the
courtroom the result of its delibera-
tions was announced, and United
States Senator Burton stood convicted
on the charges brought against him in
the Indictment
If this verdict is sustained Senator
Burton will lose his seat in the Senate
and forever be prohibited from hold
ing any office of public trust Each
count constitutes separate Offense
and Senator Burton could receive a
penitentiary sentence of two years or
$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.
When seen at the Southern hotel
later Senator Burton declined in any
manner to discuss the verdict.

Apparently he was very nervous and
his appearance was worn, the anxiety
of the past week having left its effect.
Senator Burton was indicted in Janu-

Congress he could not be arrested until
| after that body adjourned, he volun-

After the marriage, girls have no

their sons wives when they are bu:
babies, as they can be had then fer
