MAY FILE DEMURRER.
Senator Burton in ST. Louis in Con-
nection With His Trial.

ST. Louis. Sept. 2o.-United States
Senator Joseph r. Burton of Kansas
and Col. w. H. Rossington, an attor-
ney of Topeka, are at the Southern.
Senator Burton is here on matters
connected with his trial, which is
docketed for October in the United
States circuit court. Colonel Rossing-
ton is his friend and legal adviser.
The two had a conference with F. w.
Lehmann, one of Senator Burton's s
attorneys at the first trial in March,
1904
1t has been reported that the attor-
neys were preparing to file a de-
rnurrer to the Indictment within a few
days. Mr.. Lehman confirmed this
to the extent that they were consider
ing such a step. He said that whether
this would be done would be decided
at a conference. In advance he de-
clined to discuss the grounds on which
the indictment would be attacked, il
this pleading is made.
''I am not in a position to discuss
my case" Senator Burton said. MY
attorneys have advised me not to do
so, and 1 must refrain" He will re-
turn to Abilene, his home, in day
or two.

ATTORNEYS HOT SHOT.
j. H. Atwood Says Caastic
Things About Carr Taylor.
Attorney for Board Shakes His
Finger and Replies.
j. c. Lincoln of Missouri Pacific
Testifies.

Fierce repartee of personal nature
between lawyers and the demoraliza-
tion of one of the star witnesses of the
Missouri river hardware joobers were
the features of the first days hearing
of the Hockaday rate suit before the
state board of railroad commissioners
on Tuesday.
The results of the day were decided
ly hopeful for the complainants, and
the indications are that there will be
a real fight made by both sides before
the board. Some things had been
taken to indicate that neither side
would care to show its strength at the
present hearing, in view of the GER
tainty that the case will be appealed.
Both sides. however, seem to be in the
case to win.

BURTON CASE is UP.
Senator's Attorneys Urge Technicality
in His Defense.

St Louis, Sept. 2O.-In the United
States circuit court today U. S. SEN
ator ]. R. Burton of Kansas, charged
with appearing before the postoffice
department to prevent the issuance of
a fraud order against the Rialto
Grain and Securities company of St
Louis, filed a demurrer, through his
attorney, against the new indictment
returned against him since the su-
preme court nullified a former in
dictment on technical grounds.
The objections urged in the de-
murrer set forth that the indictment
fails to inform the accused of the ma
ture and cause of the accusation, and
that there is no statement of fact con-
stituting an offense against the fed
eral laws and that the allegations are
partial and defective. The time for
hearing arguments in the demurrer
has not been set.

MAY BE NEW BANK.
Talk of Organizing Another State
Bank in Topeka.

Another bank may be started in To-
peka. A number of the men who
were interested in forming a bank on
the site of the First National but who
withheld from the organization of the
Capital National are thinking of
taking out a charter for a state bank.
In the contest for the formation of
a new national bank the original pro-
moters split up into. two factions. The
faction headed by E. H. Crosby or
ganized the Capital National. The
faction in which Mayor w. H. Davis
was prominent failed to organize
quickly enough to secure the present
site of the Capital National, and with
that the promotion of a new bank by
this facion was dropped. 1t has not
died out, however. One of the men
interested said today:
"Quite number of the men who
were together in that matter have
been talking of organizing state
bank. They don't want to give up the
attempt. 1t is probable that some
thing will be done"

across the state line, and that all ship
ments from Atchison to Wichita were
interstate in their nature. The board
granted the requests and dismissed all
the roads except the Santa Fe.
Yesterday Frank Doster representing
the Missouri Pacific, asked to be- allow
ed to climb back into the case and file
an amended answer. They alleged that
tehy did not acknowledge the authority
of the board, but that they would be
vitality interested in the findings, be-
cause they would have to meet what
ever rate might be made on the Santa
Fe.
In connection with his argument to be
readmitted to the case, MI Doster set
forth what will be the chief ground OF
defense of the railroad companies in
the case when it comes before the
courts. I'VE have" said Mr.. Doster, "a
legal obstacle which believe is insur-
mountable, and that is that your board
can not issue an order in this case, be-
cause your order will affect an inter-
state shipment, and this is beyond your
power. By lowering the rate between
Wichita and Atchison, you compel a
reduction in the through rate from
points east, because the through rate is
the sum of the locals. and can not be
otherwise
After this question of the readmis-
sion of the Missouri Pacific and
Union Pacific had been discussed
pretty lnofOuSnly, the DOaTO IetlISu
for consultation, and shortly an
nounced that the roads would be
allowed to again come into the case,
and that the ruling on the demurrer
filed by the attorneys to the Missouri
river jobber'S interpIea would be de-
ferred until after the testimony had
been presented to the board.
After this the taking of testimony
commenced. The attorneys for the
complainants stated that they would
rest their case on the evidence pre-
sented at the former hearing. This
testimony consists merely of volumi-
nous tables showing the freight rates
complained of.
