AGAINST BURTON.
The Supreme Court Refused to
Grant the Former Kansas
Se-ator a Rehearing.
NO STATEMENT TO MAKE.
The Sentence He Received Was Six
Months in Jail and II Fine of
$500 which May Now BE
Carried Out.

Washington, Oct 16.-The supreme
court of tie United States Monday
denied the petition of Former United
States Senator Lurton of Kansas, for
q rehearing in the case in which he
is under sentence of Imprisonment
and fine on the charge of accepting
an attorneys fee In a case in which
the government was interested while
he was serving us senator. The eff
feet Of tie decision will be the i'm
mediate Imprisonment Of Burton I'M
less his attorneys devise some other
means of postponing the execution of
the sentence.
There was no formal announcement
of the decision in the Burton case in
open court, the chief justice merely
handing a brief memorandum to the
clerk Of the court just before con-
vening.
The case OF Senator Burton has
been before the court since 1903,
when he was indicted in st. Louis on
the charge of accepting a fee for rep
Tesenting the Rialto Grain company
of that city in an effort to debar ii
from the use of the United States
mails He was found guilty and SEN
fenced to serve six months In Jail
and pay fine of $4,000. On appeal
to the supreme court the decision was
reversed on technicality and a
second trial was ordered. The sec
ond verdict was identical with the
first and 1t was affirmed by the SUI
preme court. This affirmation was
announced Just before the close of
the term of the court in May Ia
The motion for rehearing was then
filed. It was claimed in Burton's be-
half that the court had not had the
real facts before it in considering the
case.
Abilene, Kan, Oct. 1G.-Joseph
Ralph Burton, former United States
senator from Kansas, when seen at
his home here Monday by an Asso-
ciated press representative, regarding
the action of the United States SUI
preme court In refusing him rehear-
ing, said: This is not my TIME to
talk"
Mr.. Burton absolutely declined to
talk of the case However, it is
stated from an authoritative source
that he already has communicated
with his attorneys asking that his
term of Imprisonment be arranged to
begin at the earliest possible moment
Sometime ago Mr.. Burton caused an
official statement to be made by his
attorneys, that If the supreme court
denied him rehearing he would
neither apply for pardon nor ac-
cept il il II were rendered.
Mr.. Burton Monday was found in
his home here. He received the news
of the courts action in the calm
manner that he has displayed at each
step In his case Mr.. Burton has re-
manned at home practically all sum
ner with the exception Of one or two
small trips. The last trip he made
was to Chicago two weeks ago.
Topeka, Kan, Oct. Ex-senator
Burton Monday notified his attor-
neys to arrange for the beginning
OF his term OF imprisonment as soon
as possible. He has as yet received
no information regarding the carry
ing ont Of the sentence imposed by
Federal Judge Vandeventer.

lieved they were frightened away by
Mr.. Vogt, who was made restless by
the warmth. He got up and walked
to the front gate Just about ~
O'Clock. He came back ten minutes
later, when the girl vas found in the
door,
The family all were sleeping down
stairs Miss Bader's room was near
est the front door. The screen of this
door was unfastened. the only one
in the house in that condition. JOS
eph Vogt, Jr., was on the back
porch.
The burglars, two of them, en-
tered through the front door. They
went directly to Miss Bader's room.
She was sleeping on a pallet on the
floor on account of the heat. One of
the men flashed an electric light In
her eyes, and she awakened with a
start. She sat up and saw the black
throat of the man with the light
against the whtencss of his shirt.
She is certain he was a negro. He
had a companion.
As she gazed half awake. the man
spoke to her. She remembered his
words in a hazy sort of way, and
then a hand was slipped over her
mouth.
She knew nothing OF the opera
ton of tying her hands and feet.
When they placed her in the door
way, II is probable that Mr. Vogt was
going out of the room and this
frightened the burglars away.
