TRIAL OF SENATOR BURTON
WILL BEGIN ON MONDAY
DEMURRER FILED BY ATTORNEY
is ovERRULED
He Is Charged With Having Used His
Influence to Prevent Issuance of
Fraud Order Against the RIaIto
Company Of ST. Louis
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 15.-United States
Circuit Judge Vandevanter today over
ruled the demurrer filed yesterday to
the Indictment of United States Sena-
tor Burton of Kansas.
The trial of Senator Burton on the
charge of having used his influence be-
fore the postofiice department In behalf
Of the Rialto Grain and Securities COM
pany of st. Louis to prevent the is-
suance Of fraud order against the
company is set for next Monday.
The demurrer overruled by Judge VAN
deVanter was based on two counts in
the indictment and set forth the con-
tention that Senator Burton had re-
ceived compensation for services from
a concern against which charges were
pending was vague in that it did not
specify the exact nature of the pro-
ceedings said to be pending. The Sec
ond objection raised in the demurrer
was that 1t was not specifically stated
in the indictment that Senator Burton
knew of the proceedings against the
company by the postoffice department,
when 1t was alleged he received COM
pensation.
AS to the first objection in the de-
murrer Judge Vandevanter said:
1T seems to me that the fact charged
was that a proceeding was pending
This same point was raised on the
previous indictment and since then 1
have made a very close study of this
feature of the case and it seems to me
that the proceeding is sufficiently de-
scribed in the indictment. 1t is imma-
terial how that proceeding was pend
ing"
AS to the second objection, Judge
Vandevanter said:
Il am strongly persuaded that one
could not receive compensation under
these circumstances without knowing
that proceedings were under way or
were about to be begun"
Concluding his opinion he said:
AS to the indictment in this case, 1
am of the opinion that the district at
torney could not well have prepared an
Indictment more in accord with the re-
qurements of the statute
Attorneys representing Senator Bur-
ton this morning filed plea in bar to
prosecution under this indictment. This
plea is based on the verdict in the trial
of Senator Burton almost two years
ago, which found him guilty on certain
charges in the indictment and not
guilty on other charges. He was found
not guilty of having received compen-
sation from an officer of the Rialto COM
pany. The plea in bar sets forth that
having previously been acquitted on
this specific charge he cannot a second
time be placed in jeopardy for the same
offense.

CLAIM QUARREL
CAUSED MASSACRE
CHINESE GIVE VERSION OF
AFFAIR
American Consul Agrees With Vice.
roys That Missionaries at Lien
chow Provoked Natives by
SEEKING Sacred Cannon
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15-No boy
colt, no race feeling, but a mere per-
death of the five American Presby-
terian ministers recently at Lienchow,
China, according to a report made to-
day to Secretary Root by Sir Chen
Tung Liang Cheng, the Chinese min
lister here.
The minister had with him when he
came to the State department a copy
of long cable message from the
viceroy of Kwang-Tung and Kwang-
Kong on this subject. The viceroys
reported that Miss Patterson and DR..
Machle, two of the missionaries who
escaped massacre by reason of their
temporary absence from Lienchow,
had just reached Canton under a
strong Chinese guard.
According to DR.. Machle, and his in
vestigations were shared in by the
American consuls agent, the anti
American boycott had nothing what
ever to do with the tragedy.
The trouble arose from the holding
of Chinese festival and fair. AS an
incident to this fair, the Chinese erect
ed pavilion or booth which the mis-
olOhttliSb CltlIleu ONGIldppeu llle llllS-
sion hospital compound several feet.
The missionaries requested the removal
of that part of the Chinese building
but before this request could be COM
piled with one of the missionaries went
into the pavilion grounds and seized
several small cannon with which sa-
lutes were being fired as a part of the
festival. These cannon were held by
the Chinese to be sacred Instruments.
They were finely chased with symbolic
designs and gorgeously ornamented for
this particular occasion. The Chinese
believed that each discharge blew
away or dissipated certain malignant
spirits lowering about the place. Con-
sequently, according to the report, the
seizure of the cannon created at first
CONSERVATION and then hot anger and
the i'll feeling eliminated in the at
tack upon the missionaries, and their
deaths

CARNEGIE "FOUNDATION
ASSOCIATION" MEETS
TRUSTEES OF FUND FOR COLLEGE
PROFESSORS ASSEMBLE
Iron Master Is Present and Declares
No Money He Has Ever Given Has
Done So Much Good for Education
as This Fund
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK. Nov. 15.-The first
meeting of the Carnegie "Foundation
Association" as the trustees of the
ten million dollar fund given by An
drew Carnegie for pensoning college
professors is to be called, was held to-
day in the Carnegie residence.
All the trustees were present except
President Harper of Chicago. Mr.. Car
negie. in bidding them welcome, said
he felt that no money he had ever
given had done so much good in the
cause of education as the fund they
were now considering.
The trustees discussed the plan and
scope of organization, and decided that
the officers would be in New York and
that annual meetings would be held
on the third Wednesday of each No
vember. The board of directors was
organized, and the following appoint
ments made Chairman, President
Eliot; Vice-chairman, President Har-
per; secretary, President Wing of Co
lumbia. The treasurer is Maurice Car
negie, a nephew of Andrew Carnegie.

meeting that the two important mat
ters that had to be decided before
any money could be granted We're that
eductional tests should be applied to
determine whether any institution is
a college, technical school or uniVer-
sity under the meaning of the founders
letter of gift, and what should be
deemed sectarian control, professors
or institutions under sectarian control
being expressly debarred from benefit
under the gift.

SENIOR QUEsADA AGITATED
Cuban Minister Has Conference With
Secretary Root
Ey Associated Press

Ey
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-senor
Quesada, the Cuban minister here,
called at the state department today
and seemed to be considerably agi-
tated over the news of the movement
in the Isle of Pines to oppose the for
NAL transfer of the island to Cuba.
He had an interview on the subject
with Secretary Root, but declined to
make any statement concerning it. The
contention of the American residents
is that as they own in fee simple five
siXths of the ground, and as the re-
naming sixth is in the hands of
one or two Spanish families, the 1900
native residents being non-property
owners, they have a right to be heard
by this government. A suggestion has
been made here that is known to have
received serious official consideration,
in view of the fact that the war de-
partment actually at one time gave
ground for belief on the part of
some persons that the Isle of Pines
was American soil, that it would be
only just for this government to pay
these settlers for the land.
1t has been known for several months
that American residents in the Isle of
Pines were becoming reStiVe under Gu
ban control, but no intimation has been
received in official circles here that
lHey lHteHueu 10 resort TO radical
measures to assert what they believe
to be their rights as Americans. The
announcement that at mass meetings
of residents of the island delegates
were chosen to come to Washingt N
to antagonize the treaty pending before
the senate for the formal transfer of
the island to the republic of Cuba was
not surprising to the administration
officials, but surprise was created at
the reported erection of a territorial
government on the island and the Sc
lection of Independent officials to ad-
minister the affairs of that govern
ment. 1t can be said that the would
be seceders will receive no encourage
ment from the administration. Secre-
tary of State Root, when he was sec
retary of war, was very clear and en-
phatic on the points "that the Isle OF
Pines belonged to Cuba as a matter
of right. as matter of international
law, and as matter of Justice" fur
thermore that in procuring a naval
station in Cuba for the United States
there was a general understanding
that the Isle of Pines was to be ceded
to Cuba, although it's title has been
in doubt.

can Congress
BY Associated Press.

patch to the Herald from Havana says
Residents Of the Isle of Pines have
Issued a declaration Of their indepen
dence from Cuba and organized new
government as a United States terri
tory. A delegate to congress will bt

L. B. Anderson, secretary of state;
James M. Steere, treasurer; Ed c.
Ryan, delegate to congress; A. r.

Nov. 14.-Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, pres
ident, Washington: Dear Sir-The peo-
pie of, this island, having purchased
homes under the treaty OF Paris, be-
lieving it was United States territory,
and having waited over three years
for recognition of their rights as Amer
lean citizens, fearing a continuation of
these conditions and feeling alarm at
the condition of Cuba during the COM
ing election, have taken preliminary
steps for the establishment of terri
torial government under the constitu-
ton of the United States, believing
this the proper step for US to take and
the most effective way to receive JUS
tice and equity from our national law
making body, also relying upon you,
our president, for a square deal.
I'VE trust our action will meet your
approval Yours respectfully,
"T. B. ANDERSON.
Chairman territorial convention"
At the, meeting there was only one
voice raised against the action taken.
That was by man who expressed fears
of the results, asserting that all are
liable to punishment under Cuban laws.

Conversation With President

Conversation With President
Asked what he said to President
Roosevelt about the French ambassa-
dorship, Mr.. Hartman said
Il simply told him that l had been
requested to suggest to him the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Hyde, and that Mr..
Hyde was located in Paris, and, as I
understood, had a good position there,
and 1 had done what 1 had been re-
quested to do"
Mr.. Hyde was again recalled after
Mr.. Hartman had denied that he sug-
gested the settlement of the Odell suit
as testified by Mr.. Hartman. He re-
affirmed his testimony of yesterday on
that point and said he had nothing to
add
Assemblyman Rogers asked Mr.
Hyde if Odell ever said anything 20
him or in his hearing about proceedings
against the Mercantile Trust company
other than legal proceedings, and Mr.
Hyde replied:
Again answering Mr.. Rogers, Mr.
Hyde said the statement of the attack
on the charter came from Mr. Harri-
man subsequent to June, 1904. Mr.
Hyde admitted that the legislature was
not in session. Assemblyman Rogers
then said:
"Then I want to ask you how the
danger of possible legislation could in
the slightest degree have influenced
you when there was no legislature in
session."
Mr.. Hyde replied:
There was going to be one in ses-
sion"
But" said Mr.. Rogers, Governor
Odell was going out of office on the
31st of December"
People out of office are some times
more influential than people in office
RESPONDED Mr.. Hyde.
This reply created much laughter
and 1t was some minutes before order
could be restored.
With today's session the examination
of both Mr.. Hyde and Mr.. Hartman
was completed, and the next witness
who is awaited with much interest is
Mr.. Odell, who has requested that he
be examined.
