NEW INDICTMENT
AGAINST BURTON
For Third Time Federal Grand jury
Finds Against Kansas Senator.
HE WAS ONCE CONVICTED
CASE SENT BACK FOR TRIAL
SECOND INDICTMENT FAULTY.

ut. LOUIS. Nov. 10-The federal grand
y Jury convened today and returned
an indictment against United States
Senator Burton of kansas It is stated
that certain features in the former in
dictment against Senator Burton when
was quashed were remedied in this new
indictment.
The allegation in the present indictment
is the same as in the one quashed; Ihat
while a senator of the United States he
accepted money from the Rialto Grain 4
Securities company of st. Louis for ser
vices rendered before the pOstoffice de-
partment in behalf of that company which
was being Investigated by inspectors. The
only change is in the legal wording OF
the indictment. which is different to avoid
the errors found in the former by UnlLeu
States Judge Van DeVanter.
The new Indictment charges that Jo-
seph r. Burton. while a senator from
Kansas received from the Ratio Cram
a. Securities company the sum Of S0eO III
cash. 1t is charged that this amount was
paid in ST. Louis. In the present lHdlct-
ment Burton is not charged with recel'-
ing any money in Washington nut ne -
charged with having agreed, III inns CITY
TO accept $500 a month.
Senator Burton was in court tod ~
when the charge to the jury was deuN-
cred bV Judge Van D5Ydnter tie was
accompanied by his attorney, +. W, Len
mann. His case, however, was not men
toned in the instructions to the jury.
The federal grand jury was sworn IN
today by Judge Van DeYanter, and then,
il is stated, spent the entire day IN the
examination of Witnesses, VINO, with one
or two exceptions, were employees OF the

Senator Burton was indicted and con-
Victed on a charge of accepting money
from the RialtO Grain AZ Securities com
pany for using his influence in the COM
paws behalf in matters pending before
the pOStOffice department at Washington.
The trial took place in November, 1903
The case was appealed TO the supreme
court which reversed the finding OF the
ST Louis court and the case was sent
back for Tetrial.
A new Indictment was found by the
grand jury in March. 1905 BurtOn's at
torney filed a demurrer to this fndlct-
ment and it was sustained. Judge van
Devanter Immediately called the present
grand Jury in order that the Burton case
might be considered before the statute OF
limitations became effective on Nov. Is.

RUMOR THAT A MASSACRE OF JEWS
HAS BEEN PLANNED BY RUSSIANS

st. Petersburg. Nov. Histories are
being industriously circulated that a
regular st. Bartholomew massacre of
the Jews and intellectuals has been
planned by the Black Hundred of st.
Petersburg for some time. 1t is de-
clared that all houses containing Jews
are being marked with a red cross.
While it is undoubtedly true that the
lower classes would like to be let loose,
no real danger is anticipated, as the
police have received the most rigid in
structiOns to suppress any attempt at
an uprising.
Count White has ordered a thorough
investigation of all the Jewish masSa-
cres and other disorders i'm the interior
where the police troops and officials
are charged either with melting or with
abetting violence, and he is determined
To have all the offenders removed and
punished.
Genuine alarm has. however, been
created by the reports Of the cOntem-
plated massacre of Jews here tOmor-
row night, as shown by the fact that
members of the American colony, in
GLIDING a number of naturaliZed Jews,
appeared at the embassy today in a
greatly dldIiilcu SldlC " doh Ao4 duNA1N
and protection.
Spencer Eddy, the American charge
d'affaires, made them a speech, saying
that he did not regard an outbreak rs
possible, but he instructed them all in
the event of danger to seek asylum at
the Klienmichael palace in Serge street
in which the embassy is situated.
Should the threatened outbreak occur,
Mr.. Eddy win ask military guard for
the palace. The other embassies have
been similarly besieged by alarmed for
eign residents.

Set Fire TO Home to Recover Insur-
ance Placed Last Month.
Especial to The HeraIdO

Provo, Nov. 10.-Alfred Holloway. a
young man . years of age. whose home
is at Vineyard was arrested this after
noon charged with setting fire to his
mothers dwelling at Vineyard last Mon
day night. The place was insured for
5000. of which $l7OO was on the house
and $500 on the furniture W. H. Ray OF
Provo was the insuring agent.
When Mr.. Ray learned of the fire, and
also that the house was estimated by the
people of the neighbOrhOod as being worth
not more than $500, he became suspicious
that the fire was of an incendiary origin
and placed the matter i'm the hands Of
Sheriff Harmon for investigation. Today
the sheriff. Deputy Sheriff Barnett and
Special Agent Ensign, representing the
insurance company, went 10 Vineyard,
where they had a long talk with Young
Holloway, and accused him of setting
fire to the place. This the man indignant
ly denied.
They returned to Provo, Holloway COM
ing into town about the same time. He
was arrested shortly after arriving, and
Deputy Sheriff Barnett he confessed to
firing the place.
He admitted that the idea came into his
head that IL would be a good way 10 gee
some money, and IN pursuance or the
plan took out the Insurance last month,
His mother is in Ophir and was there at
the time of the burning. and Holloway
was living in the house alone. In the
evening he went TO his uncIe'S place some
three miles south Of his home, and ar
ranged there on some excuse to stay for
the night, At / o'clock he got up, re-
turned to his home and set 1t on fire. re-
turning to his uncle's place and staying
the remainder of the night.

BOTH MAKE CLAIMS IN OHIO
Result on the State Ticket Below
Governor and on Legislature
Still in Doubt.

Columbus. O.. Nov. 10-COmplete re-
turns on the state ticket except for gov
ernor are still unavailable tonight, with
the result that both the Republicans and
Democrats continue to claim the election
of all lainor state offices. Official re-
turns received from eighteen counties
show that Harris, the Republican caud.-
date for lieutenant governor, mas an
average lead in each county of 40 over
Herrick for governor. II this ratio
should be maintained in the remainder
of the eighty-eight counties in the state
which is considered doubtful, Harris
would have a lead of 900 over HeTrick
~ the state.
This would insure the election not only
of Harris for lieutenant governor, but all
the remainder of the Republican state
ticket, as Harris apparently received the
lowest vote next to Herrick.

urer McKinnOn claim that returns re-
Ceived by them from a majority of the
counties in this state indicate their cleo

Democrats and other bodies are max
ing to the town council and Count White
to prevent a massacre, and the loud
warnings published by the radical
press, which favOrs the organization of
a national militia, have the appearance
Of an organized campaign to terrorize
the public and to frighten the govern
ment into acceding to their demands.
The intellectuals are being told to arm
themselves for defense against the
BLACK Hundred" These appeals are
greatly exciting the masses and might
precipitate the bloody tragedy which
they seek to avoid. At the Haymarket
1900 eXcitel peasants were seized with
the idea that the inteilectuals were
arming against them, and began wildly
talking of means Of defense. The
police, under instructions, went among
the crowds. quieting them and assuring
the peasants that the danger was purely
imaginary.
