SENATOR BURTON
GETS NEW TRIAL
Supreme Court Holds that ST. Louis
Court Exceeded Its Jurisdiction.

Washington: Senator Joseph Ralph
Burton OF Kansas must stand another
trial in the United States district court
at st. Louis. the Supreme Court of the
United States having Monday re-
versed the judgment of the trial court
in the former trial and remanded the
cause, with directions to grant a new
trial.
The decision of the court was dis
appointment to Senator Burton's
friends. who had hoped that the Su-
preme Sourt would assume entire jur-
isdiction. for which all preparations
had been made in the prcliminaries,
and acquit the senator.
The opinion of the majority was
handed down by Justice PeCkham and
there was dissenting opinion by
Justice Harlan. On several proposi-
tions the court was divided. -four to
| Ave. and the opinion by Justice Har-
Ian represents the views of the minor
| ity. In a word. the majority hold that
| Burton was not indictabie on four of
| the five counts on which he was con
victed in St Louis. holding that juris-
| diction on four of the five counts was
in Washington, If anywhere. and that
| the transaction consummated in St
| Louis was the only one upon which he
could have been indicted there. The
minority hold that jurisdiction rested
entirely in st. Louis. on the ground
| that. even though checks were forward
ed to Burton and deposited in Wash

complete until these checks had beer
paid by the St. Louis bank on which

STRIKE STOPS WORK
ON RUSSIAN SHIPS
Twelve Thousand Employees Of Naval
Yard Leave Their Work.

St. Petersburg: Early Wednesday
the employees of the Neva Shipbuildins
Works decided to support the strikers
of Putti.off and Franco-Russian works
subsequently, 1000 of the men of the
Neva works informed their managers
that they had gone out on a genera
strike.
The situation Is now regarded al
threatening.
The strike at the Neva works in
wolves the suspension OF the construc.
tion of submarine boats of the project.
or type. which was being carried out
under the supervision of an American
engineer, and also the work on two
ocean-going vessels similar to those oil
the volunteer feet. and several gun
boats and torpedo boats. besides the
preparation of war material urgently
needed for naval and military pur-
poses.
The completion of the gunboats and
torpedo boats had been ordered within
two months
Large forces of military and police
have been sent to the works.
1t is feared that the men employed
at the Obukhoff Steel Works will join
in the movement. thus adding 10000
to the ranks of the strikers.
Eight thousand operatives OF the
| SteiglitZ Cotton Mills struck work on
Wednesday. demanding an eight.hour
day.
The strike situation Wednesday af-
ternoon was assuming serious as
| pect. One of the cotton mills has
| joined in the movement, and II the rest
follow they will add nearly hundred
thousand men to the ranks OF the
| strikers.
The best feature of the situation is
that the iron and steel works which
are working overtime. owing to the
Government orders, are disposed tt
meet the strikers demands. The whole
movement still remains strictly in tbs
nature of a trade dispute, although
the Social Democrats are trying hare
to give it political sharaCter

A Clever Chance.

At the Academy of Sciences in Paris
it was announced recently that M. Mol
lard had hit upon means for trans
forming a radish into a potato. M.
Molliard's method, briefly described IN
popular terms, is this: He takes a
very young radish, "Pasteurizes" it
in certain way, and it grows up into
a fine potato. More scientifically, the
young radish is cultivated in a glass
retort, after a process invented by
Pasteur, in a concentrated solution OF
glucose. Starch then develops plenti-
fully in the cells of the radish, which
swells out, loses it's pepperiness, and
acquires practically the consistency,
flavor, and especially the nutritive
properties, of the potato. 1t is not
claimed that the latter vegetable will
be at once superseded or that it will
vet be cheaper to change radishes in.
to potatoes than to cultivate the latter
in the ordinary way. But M. Mol
liard's discovery is regarded as one
which may have far reaching conse-
auences. He may have, to some ex-
tent. found the philosopher stone"
of the vegetable kingdom.

Carried Pet Marmoset in Muff.

A new fad among women which will
appeal to the class who went in for
pet chameleons several years ago is
the carrying of pet marmoSets in the
big muffs that are still the correct
thing in furs. The marmoset is a.
small, squirrel-like monkey hailing
from South America.
A woman who appeared in Chestnut
street with one of the little animals
in her possession created something of
sensation. She was equipped with
a huge muff, trimmed with animal
heads, and several pedestrians who
took peep at the muff saw two heads
on one side and only one on the other.
A second later there was only one
animal head ON each end of the muff.
A couple of men remarked that per-
haps the muff- bearer had dropped one
of the heads, but when the third head
again popped into view the expression
on their faces indicated that they
were wondering if they required sana-
orium treatment. They kept the muff
in view until the extra head disap-
peared again and reappeared on the
opposite side of the fur. This time
they got a better view, and saw that
the active head belonged to mar
