DEFENDS BURTON
Grimes Says His Enemies Are Circu-
Iating the Stories.

Frank E Grimes returned Friday
from a bond X ling expedition to Ness
county, and tGdav gave out a statement
denying the Jepo1L that Senator Burton
is about to resign.
Mr. Grimes says that the resignation
stories are being sprung by some of the
people who want to injure Burton's rep
utatiOn so that they CA step into his
shoes. Mr.. Grimes declines TO say who
he has IN paind in making this declara-
ton. The statement made by Mr..
Grimes is as follows:
Il have been gone for the past week
and I notice that during my absence
the story has been given out that Sena-
tor Burton is going to resign. These
stories are periodical aRd they seem to
be given out for the purpose of injuf-
ing Senator Burton. 1t seems to me
that this kind of talk should cease.
Even his enemies should have some
sense of fair play and if they place
themselves in the position in which he
has been placed, they will realize how
unfair and unscrupulous have been the
methods used to pursue him.
Il have not been authorized to speak
for him nor have consulted any one,
as l returned late last night but / had
the statement direct from Senator Bur
ton himself, within the last two weeks,
that under no consideration would he
resign. He has conducted himself in "a
dignifled manner since this matter came
up: he has not talked for the press; he
mas taken no part III GlIliEA STATE VI 10
tional politics, nor has he uttered a
word against any one. He will so con-
duct himself from now on until after
his next trial and acquital and after
wards.
."There is a good deal of sympathy
over the state for Senator Burton and
there is reaction in his behalf. People
are beginning to realize that there are
senatorial ambitions behind this perse-
cution and the men who aspire to gain
Office by tearing down their fellOWman
viii not realize their ambitions
-Four out of the nine supreme court
judges, including Judge Brewer, formerly
of Kansas, said in their decision that Sen
ator Burton should not have been tried at
all. as there was no evidence against nlnl.
-Four more of the supreme judges said
that they were not certain that he should
have been tried and all of the nine said
that he had been WrOngfully convicted up
on the evidence tried upon and reversed
the decision of the lower court and gave
him a new trial. This decision rendered by
the highest court of the land is looked
upOn BY the ablest lawyers of the United
States as a complete acquittal of Senator
Burton, and I believe that almost every
one who has followed this case, whether
he be a lawyer or not looks upon this in
the same manner The American people
like fair play and I believe that every fair
minded Kansan hopes that Senator Bur
ton will be acquitted entirely of the
charges that have been preferred against
him and that he will clear up the stain
that has been cast against him on account
of this trial.
Therefore. ] wish to repeat, that Sena-

EQUITABLE HEARING.
Argument on Injunction Phase Is
Postponed Until Monday.

New York, April S.-Argument on
the question whether the officers and
directors of the Equitable Life As
surance society of the United States
should be permanently enjoined from
amending the society's charter so as
to permit the election of % out of 81
of its directors by policy holders, was
postponed until Monday when the
case came up before Justice Maddox
of the New York state supreme court
in Brooklyn today.
Yesterday Justice Maddox granted
to Franklin B. Lord, a stockholder of
the Equitable society, an order di-
recting the officers and directors of
that society to show cause why the
naturalization plan should not be en-
Joined. The plan was approved at a
meeting of the board of directors on
Thursday Mr.. Lord contends that it
contains no method of indemnifcation
of the stockholders and that it can
not be put into effect until two meet
ings of the board of directors have
received notice that it is contemplated.
He AYERS also that it would violate his
property rights.

THEY LOOK TO DUNNE.
Chicago Strikers Place Hopes on the
New Mayor.

Chicago, April S.-Under heavy escorts
of police d number of wagon loads of
freight were sent to various railroad
stations today by Montgomery Ward &
Co, despite sympathizers with the COM
panys strikers and garment workers.
The drivers were jeered and crowds
gathered. but the police in force kept
the wagons and spectators moving.
Many arrests were made
There is d possibility that the entire
express drivers union will be called out
owing to the determined attitude Of the
express companies to handle Montgom-
cry Ward business. Union leaders are
placing dependence on Mayor-elect
Dunno They say he win strive for ar
bitration rather than crush the strike
with the police.
1t is said the strike will not reach its
full strength till Monday Mayor-elect
Dunno VIII be inaugurated on that day
In response to a telegram Judge Dunno
wired from New York his attitude to-
ward the present trouble. He said: Il
Will preserve the peace from the incep-
tlon of any strike, but will exhaust ev-
cry effort to bring about arbitration be-
tween the two parties as mayor of Chi
cago."

A MONSTER COMBINE.
Kansas Oil Producers Unite for Re-
finery and Pipe Lines.

Chanute, Kan, April 8.-On produc-
ers, representing thirty firms in KAN
sas districts, at the meeting last night
decided to organize company to
build a fuel oil pipe line to Kansas
City and construct a refinery and stor-
age tanks there. The company will
control three-fourths of the production
in Kansas.
The company Will represent seven
million dollars of invested capital
IT will be the only company which
will compete with the Standard for the
market of the middle west The pro-
ducers have finally arrived at the con
clusion that the only way out OF IL IS
for them to form a consolidation OF
all interests involved Two months
ago the producers appointed a COM
mittee to investigate the fuel oil mar
ket at Kansas City and the cost OF a
pipe line to that point and now tne
committee reports that it is the only
salvation of the oil interests OF Kansas.
The committee also reported that II
was necessary for the producers TO put
in their production in order that the
oil business in Kansas might be kept
out of the grasp of the Standard All
of the companies represented agreed
to the report of the committee me
session lasted till late at mght ana
resulted in a unanimous agreement
The organization of the company
effected means that the Kansas pro-
d11cer has got a market for his oil. It
means that he has got natural mar
ket among the people OF the west II
means that he does not have to go TO
any man and ask the price OF ms
crude oil It means that Kansas City
will be the great distributing center OF
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1905-04-08

both the crude and the refined oil pro-
duced in Kansas.
The organization of the producers
erected is an epoch making stage in
the history of the Kansas oil business
There were present representatives of
companies operating both in Kansas
city and in the Indian Territory, and
for the time being the advantage
which might have been secured of
playing for the territorv. production
was submerged in the greater idea that
Kansas must win in its fight and that
all legitimate methods might be used
to win the victory.
A resolution was passed that none of
the proceedings be given to the public,
out IL IS understood that a company
viii be organized at once to take charge
Of all the oil wells and the market for
the constituent companies.
The Standard has had large force of
men on hand watching the sessions Of
the producers.
The report of the committee was
adopted section by section. In the final
recommendations of the committee ap-
pears the following:
Z our committee recommends that
Uhe authorized representatiV of the
constituent companies at this meeting
execute for their respective companies
a contract with 1Iessrs. Levy and Bur
nett, which accompanies this report
subject to the subsequent ratification of
the corporation
Your committee further recommends
the appointment of d permanent execu-
tive committee of six members to act
as trustees for the producers and with
the cooperation of Nessrs. Levy and
Burnett to incorporate the consolidated
company and perform such other and
further duties as may be necessary to
carry out the plans herewith presented
and recommended.
Your committee recommends that
these rules be established at once and
strictly adhered to: First, that the con-
solidated company will not purchase oil
from outside companies at any price
whatever or handle any but its own
productions; second, the maximum
amount of production to be taken over
by the consolidated company shall not
exceed 10000 barrels per day.
The cost of producing oil per barrel in
field tanks is between twenty-five cents
and thirty cents. The price for the out
put of the company at present low
prices for crude and refined oil is given
at $1.04 per barrel. On a daily produc-
ton of 10000 barrels, the annual net
revenue to the company is estimated at
81, ,9200 600. These figures are based on
an estimate Of ten cents per barrel for
producing oil, four and one-half cents
per barrel for pipe line charges to Kan
sas City, seven cents per barrel refinery
cost, and three and one-half cents per
barrel for distributing the output to the
market. Thes total cost per barrel will
be twenty-five cents.

ENGAGED TOMISS
DR.. Brady Creates a Sensation in a
Methodist Conference.

Melrose. Mass, April S.-The con-
di1onal pledge by Andrew Carnegie to
give $1.GOO.0oO to the fund for super
annuated preachers was announced to
the New England Methodist confer
ence here today by the Rev. DIR. James
Boyd Brady, field agent of the Preach
ers' Aid society, who was appointed
last year to raise a fund for this pur-
pose. DR.. Brady stated that Mr. Car
negie had promised to give the last
million dollars of a fund of $25,00O,-
0OG to be raised by the society.
There were evidences Of suppressed
ton to DR.. Brady's report. Il am en-
gagged to Miss Helen Could" said the
secretary and then he paused. There
was stir at the press table. Several
men arose quickly and one started to
leave, when he was stopped by DR..
Bradys next WordS-'tto meet her and
discuss the needs of our work"
Before the sentence was concluded
DR.. John Galbraith of Boston, q, mem
Der Of the conference. addressed the
chair saying that he hoped that no
reporter would mention the name of
the woman.
There were evidence of suppressed
excitement in the room. DR.. Brady
turned to DR.. Galbraith and said, with
some heat, II could consider a per-
sonal insult
The last word was drowned in an
stop were heard. A moment later
the moderator's efforts brought quiet
and Dr. Brady continued his report.
Afterwards the conference board Of
stewards presented a report which in
effect was the election of DR.. Brady
out of Office.
The report contained a. recommen-
dation that no field agent be hired
by the conference next year. The re-
port was promptly accepted.
DR.. Brady was appointed field
agent last year to raise money to
make good the loss sustained by the
defalcatfon of Willard s. Allen, secre-
tary of the Preachers Aid society,
discovered in 1903, amounting to
$4,000.
Dr.. Brady in taking up the work
announced that not only did he pro-
pose to make up the loss sustained
by the society, but to raise a much
larger amount, which in his report
today he placed at $25, 1000.
DR.. Brady after the incident said:
cit was an ignoble, unbrotherly, un-
necessary and impertinent insult and
it was directed at myself and the re-
porters. Notwithstanding the action
of the conference, I shall continue my
work of raising money, and expect to
secure the fund of $25,000,000-"

London, April -S.-The sudden shift
ing of interests in the war from LAND
to sea and the apparently imR1inent
prospects of a fateful battle between
the Russian and japanese squadrons
in the China sea have revived all the
interest shown here in the earlier de-
velopments of the struggle in the far
east. It is taken for granted that Ad-
niral Togo's ships. reported to be in
the neighborhood of Singapore in the
middle Of March, are still in that
vicinity and the report from Penang
on the west coast of the Malay penin-
suIa that twelve ships were seen ahead
of the Russian warships is interprete1
to mean that the former are scouts
sent out by Togo to get in touch with
the Russians and when their object is
| accomplished to retire on the main
body of the Japanese squadron. The
| reports about the number of Russian
ships vary but at any rate over thirty
/ torpedo boats have passed the port OF

This price is decrease Of a quarter OF

in spite Of the fact that sisal IS a little

the decrease is that the prison plant made
