BURTON TOGOTOJAI
CONVICTION AFFIRMED IN ALL
POINTS BY SUPREME COURT.
Six Months imprisonment for Kansas
Senator, Fine Of $4,000 and Deprived
of Right to Hold otice-Peckham,
Brewer ard White Dissent.

Washington, May 22.-The supreme
decision in the case of United States
Senator Ralph Burton from Kansas.
The decision was against Burton, az
firming the decision of the United
States district court for the western
district OF Missouri, by which Burton
was sentenced to six months imprison-
ment in the Jail OF Iron county, Mis-
souri,, required to pay a fine of $4,000
and deprived of the right to hereafter
hold office under the government.
The opinion was by Justice Harlan.
All Of the points made in Burton's in.
terest were overruled. Justices Brew
or, White and Peckham united in a
dissenting opinion, delivered by JUS
tice Brewer. Their opinion was based
on the theory that the United States
was not legally interested in the case
before the Rialto company by which
Burton vas employed as counsel.
Senator Burton was prosecuted on
the charge of violating section 1882 Of
the revised statutes, which prohibits
senators and representatives from re-
ceiving compensation for services
rendered before any of the govern
ment departments in any matter in
which the government may be inter.
ested. He vas specifically charged
with accepting a fee of $500 per month
for five months, from the Rialto Grain
and Securities company Of st. Louis,
for services rendered that company In
an effort to prevent the issuance Of
an order by the p~ostoffice department
prohibiting the use of the mails by
the company.
Senator Burton received the first
news of the courts decision by tele.
phone at his room in the Raleigh no.
tel, where he is stopping. To the
newspaper men who called to see him
Senator Burton said: 81 shall adhere
to my original policy Of saying moth
ing until my case is finally deter
mined"
He would not say, in reply to a ques'
ton, that he intended to take fur
ther legal steps, but from the fact that
he does not regard his case as finally
decided, in view OF the sixty days
granted for a %rehearing, it Is inferred
that he will do SO.
