JURY GOES AGAINST HIM
ON ALL FOUR
COUNTS
BURTON'S SEAT VACANT
Penalty Two Years ImpriSOn.
~:nt and Forfeiture of Office


ST. Louis, Nov. 27.-senator ]. Ralph
Burton of Kansas was found guilty on
all six counts in the indictment on
which he has been on trial for the past
week in the United States circuit
court charging him with having agreed
to accept and having accepted compen.
sation from the Rialto Grain and Sc.
curities company of St Louis to ap-
pear for the company in the capacity
of an attorney before the post office
department.
The verdict was brought in at 1850
O'Clock Sunday morning, two hours
and twenty-five minutes after the Jury
had received the case.
Senator Burton was ordered to ap-
pear in court at 10 o'clock Monday
morning when, his counsel announced.
bill OF exceptions would be pre-.
sented and an appeal asked for. Court
then edjourned.
From the time the jury went, Bur.
ton was pacing the court room with
long, even strides.
At 12,4O there was summons from
inside the room in which the jury had
been confined considering its verdict
The marshal, upon being informei
that an agreement had been reached,
notified Judge vandeventer Senator
Burton took his accustomed seat at
the table with his counsel. His feat.
ures wese set, but expressed no visible
sign Of emotion from the time the jury
entered the room until the verdict had
been read
His facial expression did not change
during the reading of the verdict and
the separate answers of the jury of
guilty" to each count.
Senator Burton, accompanied by his
counsel, descended in the elevator to
the ground floor and together they de-
parted for his hotel The senator was
permitted by the marshal to have his
freedom on the promise of his counsel
to produce him in court at 10 O'Clock
this morning
There were very few persons In the
court room when the verdict was re
turned, it not being generally consid-
cred that a verdict would be reached
that night. Shortly before IL o'clock
Judge vandeyenter, accompanied by
District Attorney Dyer, left the federal
building for lunch. He stated that if
on his return the jury had not reached
a verdict he would adjourn court.
When this became known many per
sons who had waited around the circuit
court for many hours became con
vinced that verdict would not be
reached and went to their homes.
After the verdict had been rendered
the court room was cleared in five
minutes. Judge vandeventer thanked
the jurors and excused them until
Tuesday morning, when they will be
called upon to serve on other cases.
None Of the jurors would tell how
many ballots had been taken.
Senator Burton. on the advice OF his
attorneys. also declined to discuss the
case.
Senator Burton was indicted on
eight counts, two OF which were
quashed before the case went to trial,
The penalty provided by the statutes
is not more than two years imprison.
ment on each count and not more
than $4,000 fine in each case, and a
forfeiture forever to hold place Of
trust or profit under the United States
government.

Joplin Globe; According to Mr. Tar
] bell, second vice president Of the Equit-
able, publicity in the affairs Of the in
surance business Is one OF the things
needed TO prevent graft and dishonesty
on vast scale from dominGs ing It.
l Mr.. Tarbell doubtless bases his opin-
ion upon the benehcent results which
have already been produced through the
agency Of publicity That the old Tine
companies have decided upon a policy OF
fetrenchment Is manifest both from the
action Of the new head Of the Equitable
and the snoaking surrender OF McCurdy
In the matter OF reducing his salary.
Certainly, II there hadn't been an ex-
posure Of conditions the Hyde Alexan-
der regime would sul be In pronigate
control OF the Equitable, and the Nc
Calls and the McCurdys. even 20 the
third and fourth generations would all
be doing a land office business at the
old stand.
Publicity must be kept IN close appli-
ance to the insurance business until the
whole story has been told Very likely
the plot as developed is now clearly un-
dcrstood by the people. The people
know that the Insurance officials specu-
lated with the policy holders money
for their own profit that they brfbed
legislatures that they established sys-
TEN Of Nepotism that was practically a
hierarchy; that they misappropriated
money that they "doctored" their
books; thei. in short, they violated ev-
cry tenet almost, Of business integrity
They did ail this for years. And If
avarlce hadn't led them into open de-
hance OF public opinion they Nigh.
have continued their dynasty of embez-
element for many more years
So there must be publicity. but It
must be the kind Of publicity IN which
the people have confidence. The gov
enment must assume sort OF super
vision Of the Insurance business which
win not be transacted by politicians OF
a friendly party but by tho servants OF
the people. The publicity which Is 20
guide the Insurance business OF the m-
ture IN the channels OF probity and fair
dealing must be the real thing
