FRANCHISE FRAUDS
DENVER HAS ANOTHER Big ELEC.
ton SCANDAL,
Thousands of Bogus Votes Cast
in Favor of Franchises--.Court
Orders Seizure of Ballot Boxes
After Examining Books-.-lnves-
tigation Is Proceeding.

Denver, Colo, May 2l.-Election
frauds which overwhelm by thousands
the pitiful 1876 votes by which the
Tramway Company claims that its
franchise WAS carried, frauds which
show hundredfold worse than were
ever charged at the time they were
being committed, were unearthed when
District Judge johnson opened the
books of the treasurer office in his
court. The court found that between
1000 and 5000 tax receipts have been
issued in the last three weeks, each on
a separate lot owned by the Myrtle
Hill Land and Improvement company
and other corporations.
Bach of these receipts, costing from
ID to 90 cents on each suburban lot,
represents vote cast for the Tram
ways free franchise. William Evans.
boss OF the Tramway forces, is heavy
property owner on Myrtle Hill, the
suburb in which most of the property
lies on which the bogus receipts were
issued.
In the first few moments the court
glanced at the books he saw thousands
of these receipts. The books had been
brought from the treasurer's Office on
writ from the court, and Judge
johnson at once announced that tho
court would retain custody of the
booke.
Ballot Boxes Seized.
Judge johnson also Immediately is-
sued an order to Sheriff Nisbet to seize
and hold the ballot boxes containing
the votes on the franchises, which are
now stored at 1920 Market street. 1t
has been reported frequently since
election day that the Tramway men
had laid plot to burn the building
and the ballots and so destroy much of
the evidence of fraud.
The Honest Election League. at
whose instance Judge johnson ordered
the books brought into court, will
work over the frauds with the court
all night and all day tomorrow. and
the most astounding revelations are
expected.
The methods by which the tax re-
ceipts were issued was simple. The
corporation owning the suburban lots,
ON which the tax was only few cents
each. obtained a tax receipt for each
lot and gave each receipt to hireling
on which vote could be cast for the
fronahioos

BURTON CONVICTION IS
SUSTAINED BY court

Washington, May 22.-The supreme
court of the United States yesterday
rendered decision against United
States Senator Ralph Burton, of Kan
sas, affirming the decision of the Unit
eds tates circuit court for the Eastern
district of Missouri.
Senator Burton's sentence was to
serve nine months in Jail and to pay a
fine Of *2, 800. He was also deprived
of the right to hereafter hold Office un-
der the government.
The opinion of the supreme court
was by Justice Harlan. All OF the
points made in Buttons interest were
overruled.
Senator Burton was prosecuted on
the charge of violating section 1882 of
the Revised Statutes, which prohibits
senator's or representatives from re-
ceiving compensation for services rem
dered before any of the government
departments i'll any matter in which
the government. mray be interested.
Was Burton's Second Appeal.
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
decision in the first instance, because
it was made to appear that the money
was paid in Washington and not in st.
Louis, where the case was tried.
1t was commended on behalf of Sena-
tor Burton that the fee was paid on
account of criminal proceeding
against one of the memb ers of the Ri
alto Company and not because Of serv-
ices rendered in the government pros
ecution Of the company.
The law under which he was prose-
cuted was also attacked as unconstitu-
tional on the ground that the senate
was the sole judge of the qualification
of it's members, but this doctrine was
not upheld by Justice Harlan's opin
ion.
Justices Brewer, White and Peck
ham united in dissenting opinion
delivered by Justice Brewer. This
opinion was based on the theory that
the United States was not legally in
terested in the case against the Rialto
company in which Burton was en-
ployed as counsel.
Immediately after the PRONUNCIATION
of its decision the supreme court
granted motion to give sixty days to
Senator Burton in which to prepare a
petition for rehearing.

WEEK WAS BUSY
ON CANAL AND FEEDER
Traffic of Year Heavy Through Use
of Waterway by Trenton Manu-
facturers for Shipping.

TRENTON, Dec. 20:-The Della
ware and Raritan canal and feeder
will close for traffic today. when the
water will be let out of the water
way. For the past week the freight
boats Of the Merchants Ttransporta-
ton line and the coal and chunker
boats plying between New York and
Philadelphia and Mauch Chunk and
Trenton have been making extra
trips.
Superintendent Dunn, of the canal
company, states that the business
this year is somewhat in excess of
last year. He says the chunker type
of craft, carrying coal and building
material, were constantly on the go,
many of the local manufacturers and
merchants finding it less expensive
to ship by water than rail, especially
when the material is not wanted i'm
mediately.
The f1et of boats of the Merchants
transportation line, six in number,
will be overhauled this winter in the
Trenton basin dry dock, and the
wharf will be repaired. The canal
company will next week place a force
of carpenters and laborers at work
repairing and building Few bridges.
A new bridge will La constructed
at North Warren street and another
at Spring and Willow streets.

BONI BEATEN AGAIN
Nine. Gould Relieved From Payment
of Former Husbands Debts.

PARIS, Dec. 20.-Mme. Gould, the for
mel Countess Boni de Castelldne, has
been victorious in the suits brought by
creditors and money lenders against
her with tse object of making madame
Jointly responsible with the count.
Thirteen Of the fifteen cases were dis
missed by the court, with costs against
the plaintiffs.
Only in the cases of two art dealers
did the court express the opinion that
madame should be held responsible, as
the objects purchased for the most part
were still in her possession. There are
still three cases to be passed upon.
They will be decided by the court
Dec. 90.
In Diminishing the thirteen suits the
court held that the plaintiffs had failed
to prove that the debts We're contract
ed for the common benefit of the count
and countess. The latter, the court de-
clared, had more than fulfilled the obi
cations under her marriage contract.
During her welded life she had re-
tanned nothing for herself, her entire
revenue being collected by her husband
and employed, according to his own
admission, either for the household ex-
penses or for the payment of his per-
sOnal debts.

FIRTH'S FRIENDS May
ssGAUSES DEADLOCK.
Pointed Out How the Warren Coun-
ty AssembIyman Can Prevent
Democrats from Organizing.

PHILLIPSBpRG, Dec. .20:-If
mutterings of impeding war that
come from Assemblyman Firth's
home in Phillipsburg materialize in
action, the discarded candidate for
the s~peakership of the assembly may
become a storm centre in the strug-
gle I've Senator Dryden's seat in the
United States senate.
The democrats need thirty-one
votes to organize the assembly. They
have Just MISUNDERSTANDING
Firth's vote. Some of his friends in
Phillipsburg said yesterday that Mr..
Firth will not vote at the organiza-
ton for the new nominee of the dem
ocratic caucus. That would make a
deadlock that would prevent the or
ganization of the house. If Mr.. Firth
maintained his stand to the end no
joint meeting for the election of SEN
ator Dryden's successor could be held
this winter.
Such a situation would throw the
election of a new senator onto the
legislature of 1908, which fenator
Dryden's friends say they will be able
to control more easily than the n
about to assemble.
