SENATOR BURTON CONDEMNED
Sentenced 10 six Months In Prison
and Fined $4,000.

WASHINGTON. May %, The SUI
preme court decided against senator
Joseph II. Burton Of Kansas who WAS
convicted of accepting n fee from the
RialtO Grain and Securities company Of
ST. Louis for services rendered that
company in an effort to prevent the is
suance of an order 10y the postoilice de
partment prohibiting the use of the
mails by the company. Senator Bur
toms sentence was six months mpris-
onment and II fine of $1,000.
IF Senator Burton does not resign
at once said u prominent senator on
learning the decision, "a resolution
will be introduced to declare his seat
vacant"
This was Senator Burton's second
appeal to the supreme court. In the
first case the circuit court found him
guilty and imposed the same penalty
that was imposed In the present case,
but the supreme court reversed the de-
cisiOn in the first instance because 1t
was made to appear that the money
was paid in Washington and not IN st,
Louis, where the case was tried.
Justices Brewer, White and Peck.
ham united in dissenting opinion, de
livered by Justice Brewer. Their opin-
ion was based on the theory that the
United States was not legally interest
ed in the case against the Rialto com
pany. in which Burton was employed
as counsel
Immediately after promulgating its
decision the court granted a motion To
/ give sixty days to Senator Burton in
which to prepare petition for re-
hearing. The action will have the eff
/ feet Of taking the case over until the
next term Of the court. beginning In
/ October, as the present term viii ex.
/ pire next Monday.
A Topeka report says that Governor
Hoch, who if Senator Burton's seat
were declared vacant would probably
appoint a successor. when asked If he
would appoint W. r. Stubs or Con
gresham Charles Curtis refused 10
talk.

and until recently WIS chairman OF the

ADVANTAGE IN BEING DEAe
Obituary Notice of Value in Case Of
an Application for
Loan.

Col. Henry Watterson tells of the as
constituent and chagrin with which a
certain well-known citizen OF Louis
vile, named jenkins, read long chit
uary OF himself printed in a morning
paper of that city, relates the Success
Magazine. He at once proceeded 70 the
editorial office of the paper and, after
much difficulty, succeeded In obtaining
an audience of the busy city editor.
Laying a copy OF the paper before him,
he observed in mild, almost humble
way, that he had come to see II the
city editor could tell him" anything
about it.
With snort of Impotence the busy
editor grasped the paper and hastily
read the article. 1t appears to be an
obituary OF one jenkins, he growled.
What is there to tell about #? What's
the matter with YOU. anyhow"
oh. nothing especially responded
he mild Jenkins. only thought I'd
like to know how the obituary came to
be printed; that's all
Came to be printed?' repeated the
editor, in. irritated tones; why, the
man died, OF course My paper doesn't
print obituary notices OF living men.
Perhaps not, as a rule, gently re-
piled the visitor, but in this case
happen to be the Jenkins referred to.
rhereupon the city editor began a
protuse apology Wen print cor
rection at once, he said.
Well, after all, observed the mild
Jenkins. perhaps 1t would be better
to let it stand; I'll show 1t to my
friends when they try to borrow money
of me.
