he CLAIMS IMMUNITY.
Senator Burton Contends He
Could Not Waive His Right.

ST.. Louis, March 3O.-In his motion
of arrest of judgment Senator Bur-
toms counsel sets forth the following
arguments:
First, neither of the counts of the
indictment states facts sufficient to
constitute an offense against the laws
of the United States.
Second, neither of the counts states
facts sufficient to show either the PEN
dency in the postoffice department of
the United States of a matter or thing
or any interest directly or indirectly
in such matter OF thing on the part of
the United States
Third,Athe court was without jurisdic-
ton to Try and determine the said case
at the time when it was tried and de-
termined, and all proceedings had therein
void and should be per naught held.
Fourth, the providing of freedom from
arrest granted to the defendant during
the session of the senate of the United
State. is not merely a personal prov11-
ing but it is a prohibition against in juris-
diction of proceedings against all mem
bers of the senate of the United States
during the session of the senate, which
can not be waived by such member.

APPEALS TO ENGLAND.
Russian Newspaper Wants Co.
operation Against q. S.

st. Petersburg, March 80. 4:2S p. M
The Novoe Vreyema today executed a
faceabout, strongly supporting the idea
of a Russo-British understanding in an
editorial entitled 1.-THE Blindness of
England in which the paper argues
that the success of Japan would be
more injurious to Great Britain than to
any other European nation, and points
to the United States as to the common
rival of both. 1t describes Japan as
Americas sharp-shooter," and says:
Remember what nation, in the per-
son of the commander of one of its
men-of-war at Chemulpo, refused to
join in the collective protest of the
other foreign commanders before the
Japanese destroyed the Variag and the
Koreitz.
Remember whose flag alone among
all did not take on board the crews
of our perishing ships. To the honor
of England the ally of Japan, it was
not her representative, but the com
mander of an American ship.
THE Americans wish to convert the
Pacific into an American Mediter-
ranean. Would that be to the advant-
age Of England? Does England not un-
derstand in her blind policy and hatred
toward Russia that she is turning this
ocean into an American Mediterra-
mean? Sooner or later the European
countries will recognize that America
is their mutual enemy. Why should
not Russia and England, in view of
their possessions outside of Europe,
combine ?"

LEvEE BREAKS.
Two-thirds of Lawrence Co.,
Ind, Under Water.

V{ncennes, Ind. March 30-The Bel
grade levee broke today causing great
damage. Many houses were washed
from their foundations and much live

the water at Westport where the food
is now in the second story of every
house. The town has been abandoned.
Two-thirds of Lawrence county is
under water and many places 20 feet
deep. A hard rain is falling.
The damage caused by the Belgrade
levee will be enormous on the Illinois
side, though it has relieved the Indiana
side. Messengers have arrived by
boats from the flooded districts asking
for volunteers to assist in rescuing the
flood bound people Many people have
started to the rescue.
TO REPAIR DAMAGES.
Indianapolis, Ind, March 30.-A spe-
cial meeting of the city council today
appropriated S25, 900 to make imp Adiate
repairs of flood damage in the city
and an ordinance was introduced TO
sell $500, 900 bonds to make further re-
pairs.
Mrs. Elrnira Wright died today from
exposure during the flood. She died
at the home of her rescuer, Roy STRAIT
ton, aged Is, who is credited with saw
ing so persons from the high waters
whose homes were flooded.

ACCOUNT OF STEWARDSHIP
Judge Hayden Will CalIAdministrators
Into Court.

There are $50 estates over which the
probate court has jurisdiction, on
which no reports have been made to the
probate judge for years. The estates
are valued at from a few dollars to
$4,000.
In looking up the histories of the
cases Judge Hayden found that many
of them had not been given attention
for years and that the trustees and
administrators in many cases had not
filed any report regarding the estates
for many years.
Judge Hayden will issue citations,
which will be served by the sheriff and
administrators and trustees will be
called upon to make reports regarding
the estates.

DER TRUE TALES
Corsets Were His Undoing.

Walter Payne, a bell boy at the Au-
ditorium annex, in Chicago, who had
read in the fashion magazines that
men would be wearing corsets next
Derby Day, tried on a pair belonging
to Mrs. H., l.. Smith, a guest, and so
lost his job.
Walter strolled into Mrs. Smiths
room while a maid was at work. Spy
ing the corsets on top Of a, trunk he
took off his coat; and vest and clasped
them around his waist. Then some-
thing happened and they wouldn't
come off. While he was struggling
with them Mrs. Smith returned. She
rushed downstairs to get assistance.
Assistant Manager Kennedy and a
detective returned with her to find
Walter vainly striving to undo the cor
set clasp.
Walter blushed, Kennedy swore and
the lady nearly tainted.
Hes ruined my best pair" Mrs.
Smith walled. ST can never, never
wear them again after they've been
on that boy"
