practically unanimous vote of Il
to 3. The three negative votes
were cast by Senators Foraker.
Republican, of Ohio, and Morgan

The bill has received more at

chasing clause of the Sherman
act, in 1898. 1t was reported to

was made the unfinished business

May 4, the bill was under general
discussion without limitation on
the duration of speeches, fifty

Many of these were prepared with

way affect the interests of Kansas.
The Governors action was
thoroughly acceptable to the rail-
way interests that dominated the
recent Republican convention, of
course, and it fully qualified Mr..
Hoch for membership on the rail-
road ticket named by that conven-
ton. In constituting himself the
next friend" of the Katy" the
GoernOr did what seems to have
been a wholly gratuitous thing.
even from a political standpoint.
and his friends and the public
have been waiting for some ex-
PLANTATION that would explain.
Mr.. Hoch's only comment has
been that the action would not
cost the state a penny. But he
could do many other things on
that score that he would have no
business to do. and which the
people did not elect him to do.
But now comes Tom" McNeal,
state printer, who also has taken
the job of Republican press agent
for the time being, and gives out
a statement that covers the Katy
transaction. In this statement
Mr.. McNeaI reiterates, with great
show of virtue, that the suit will
not cost Kansas anything, and
adds:
If the government wins, then
the title to the land will be clear
and there will never be any dis
pute about it. So the Governor,
to save the Indians and settlers
expense, permitted the use of the
states name.
So, here it is. Rather than let
the poor settlers and Indians
defend individual suits-which the
railroad never would have brought,
by the way-Governor Hoch, out
of the goodness of his heart,
intervenes to settle forever the
dispute about the lands occupied
by these. people. And what
makes this official altruism all the
more sweet and beautiful is that
this service was rendered to the
Indians and the settlers wholly
without solicitation on their part.

BURTON LOSER
IN SUPREME COURT
Decision Given Today That May End
the Long Fight.
SHORT HISTORY OF The CASE

w "ohih1sOA' NHuJ -A's IL 'cO W
m.-The United States Supreme
Court has rendered a decision
against Senator j. R. Burton, of
Kansas, on appeal from St. Louis.
Justice Harlan read an elaborate
decision covering the constitu-
tional points raised aid decided
each against the appellant. The
lower court was sustained in all
details.
The court granted sixty days
stay of proceedings, to give Bur-
ton a chance to apply fora rehear-
ing.
With the filing of the mandate
of the court Burton not only goes
to Jail to serve his sentence, but
cases to be q. S. Senator. He
is also prohibited from ever hold
ing an Office of trust or profit un-
der the government.
Senator Burton was indicted by
a federal grand jury at St. Louis
Jan. %, 1904, charged on nine
counts with accepting five checks
of $500 each from the Rialto
Grain and Securities Co., an
alleged get-rich-quick company of
st. Louis, while United States
senator, for alleged services in
interceding with postofice depart.
ment officials to induce them to
render a favorable decision in
matters affecting the use of the
mails by the Rialto company
The case came up for trial before
Judge Adams in the United States
court at st. Louis March 90, 1904.
On March 20, 1904, a verdict of
guilty on six counts was returned.
Senator Burton was sentenced tc
sereve six months in Jail at Iron.
town, No., and to pay a fine o.
$500. On appeal the United
States supreme court, Jan. 16,
1905, reversed the verdict of the
district court on the ground that
the payments involved were made
in Washington, and not in St
Louis, and remanded the case for
retrial April Is, 1905. Senator
Burton was again indicted at st.
Louis on five counts for the same
alleged ofensp, and the error in
the former indictment was avoid
FED by setting forth that he con-
tracted at st. Louis for the pay
ment by the Rialto company for
$500. Count 5 set up that he
received an additional $500, max
ING $1,000 in all.
After many delays the case was
brought to trial the second time
and again conviction was secured
and the fine and Imprisonment
penlty imposed. Burton appealed
to the federal supreme court
again. Among the grounds for
the appeal was the contention that
the alleged otfense was committed,
if at all, in Illinois not in Missouri,
the alleged conversation for the
engagement of Burton by the
Rialto company being held on a
train between st. Louis and Chi.
cago.
As further reason for setting
aside the conviction it was argued
in behalf of the senator that the
senate alone was Judge of its
membership and that no jury had
power to convict a senator of a
felony and thereby cause him to
forfeit his office.
