BURTON DEC0YED TO
APPEAR BEFORE SENATE
TRICK NECESSARY TO GET HIM
HIS MILEAGE
1t Was Necessary for Body to Take
Oath He Was In Attendance and
the kansan Had Declined to
Show Himself
BY Associated Press.


WASHINGTON. Jan. 22-One of the
most remarkable procedures in the his
tory of the senate occurred today in
order to avoid technicality which
prevented Senator Burton of Kansas
from drawing his mileage from the
present session. In order to have his
requisition honored it is necessary for
sone official of the senate to take
oath that he had seen the senator in
the chamber, but since the indictment
and conviction of the Kansas senator
he has not appeared in the chamber.
There is no disposition on the part
Of any one to withhold the mileage and
the senator therefore was asked to step
from the cloak room in the chamber
for a moment in order that he might
be seen by some one present. He de-
cllned, but an employe engaged him in
conversation in the cloak room near the
entrance to the chamber. The employe
suddenly turned the senator so that he
faced the chamber and. the attention
of the officials previously having been
directed toward this door, he was seen
from the chamber 1t was then certi-
fed that Senator Burton was in at
tendance and his mileage was paid

Shoots Former Fianeee, His Rival, the
Latter's Mother and Sister,
Then Kills Himself
with Pistol
BY Associated Press.

by Associated PresS.
BOISE, Idaho, Jan. pa sensa-
tional tragedy occurred here at Q
o'clock this morning. Henry Neue-
banner, the principal in the affair,
lies dead with bullet through the
head, fired by his own hand, and four
hospital. These are:
Ollie Powell, aged %; suffering from
seven wounds caused by buckshot, one
of which is in the right lung.
Mrs. Robert Fray: shot i'm the hip.
Lafayette Gray. aged 21, son of Mrs.
Robert Gray; one shot In the abdomen,
one in the right temple, right arm
broken and three flesh wounds.
Lillian Gray, sister Of Lafayette, 1S
years of age: flesh wound in right arm
and right side.
The three first named are in a seri-
GUS condition.
The Powell girl, employed as clerk,
was staying with the Gray family.
Across the street from their home wss
a bill board, and just back of that the
wall of a livery barn shed. Neue-
banner secreted himself between the
bill board and the shed and used a
hole In the board as a portfolio.
Miss Powell and Lafayette Gray
came out of the house. A charge Of
buckshot brought the girl down. The
young man was shot as he stood on
the porch. Neuebaumer reloaded his
gun, and at that moment Mrs. Gray
and her daughter opened the door and
stepped out. He fired both barrels at
them. Robert Gray also ran out, and
one shot from a fifth charge cut his
suspender. After a few moments
those gathering heard another shot be-
nd hn hi nrd md
banner lying dead with a pistol bullet
through his head.
Neuebaumer is a Klondike mining
man and is estimated to be worth any
where from $150,000 to $500,000.
Until 1897 he lived at Caldwell, thirty
miles from Boise, pursuing the business
of a blacksmith and accumulated con-
siderable property.
In 1897 he went to the Klondike and
prospered there. He was attached to
the Powell girl, daughter of John
Powell of Caldwell. and furnished the
money for her education. She had
promised to marry him, but it had been
put off from time to time. In Novem-
Der he came from Alaska to claim her.
At that time he gave her some $1,000 for
her trousseau. The time was set for
the wedding, but the night before she
left home with Lafayette Gray, coming
to Boise. Neuebaumer hunted her up
and had her arrested for taking the
clothing and some property. The case
was settled out of court and he went
back to Alaska. He reappeared here
January II, but kept well out of sight.
From a great number of letters left
by him it is apparent he had carefully
planned the crime. The day he arrived
here he decided over all his property in
this locality to a brother, Edward Neue-
banner of jamestown, Cal.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. ga blanket
of sleet two inches thick covered the
ground this morning, with the tenn
perature at 16 above and a fine sleet
blowing. Street car traffic was badly

layed.
Telegraphic communication with Chi
cago and points east of st. Louis was
very poor early in the morning, when
suddenly it ceased altogether at 8

been resumed. At the telegraph offices
II was stated that communication was
being effected east of here in a slow,
roundabout fashion, but the service
was badly interfered with on account
of the sleet-covered wires.
Not until IL a. IN. was communica-

a route to New York was put in OPP
Grafton by way Of Cincinnati. At that
hour Chicago still remained isolated.

Boston, Aug. 26.-Strenuous days
are at hand for the girl at central.
When the yacationists come home,
the schools open, early closing hours
are thing of the past and the life
OF the city enters on another period
of hustling, the telephone lines get
busy again. They have been busy all
summer, for that matter, but the
operator in the city has shifted a
little of her burden to her country
cousin for the time being. Now she
must take 1t all upon herself again.
First and last central is one of
the busiest persons you could find
in long days journey and her SER
vices are in constant and increasing
demand as is shown by the fact that
the number of telephones in the Bell
system alone has reached 2,S00, 600
and is growing at the rate of % per
cent year. In one way the telephone
operator is at a disadvantage in the
business world because her patrons
cannot see her do her work, but if a
telephone user took the trouble 20
time central" with a stop watch ne
would find that she is about the spry-
est person he has to deal with.
Telephone managers do not use
stop watches in timing operators but
