BURTON MUST GO TO PRISON
Kansas ex-senator Loses Last Weap.
on in Fight for Liberty.
Has Nothing to say for Publication,
but Tells Lawyers He Wants to
Begin Serving Time at Once.

The last legal weapon that Joseph
Ralph Burton, OF Kansas. could wieId
against the government. in his fight for
liberty, has proved unavailing BY yes
terday's action of the Supreme Court Of
the United States. the man, who, up to
last June, was a member of the United
States Senate, in good standing, must
now serve six months Imprisonment in
the Iron County Jail. of Kansas, and
pay a fine of $3.50 for engaging in legal
practice before government departments.
The action against Burton was one of
the sensational results of the great post
Office investigation, ordered by President
Roosevelt, several years ago. Burton ac-
cepted money from the Riaito Grain Com
pany, Of St Louis, and was charged
with attempting TO prevent the issuance
OF a fraud order against that concern. 1t
was the general belief at the time that
Burton would never be punished. Bur-
ton fought his case with rare skill and
got new trial through the order of the
| Supreme Court. lie was again convicted
and the same fine inflicted He fought
for another trial, but was refused by the
Supreme Court. He then applied for a
rehearing.
This was denied yesterday Yester-
days announcement was verbal Solic-
itor General Hoyt will ask the court
to hand down a mandate in order that The
decision may be effective. 1t was just
the other day that Assistant Attorney
| General Charles II. Robb, who fought
for and secured BurtOns conviction. was
given seven thousand dollar judgeship
| by President Roosevelt.
Abeline. Kans.. Oct. 15.-J. r. Burton,
/ former United States Senator from Kan
sas. when seen at his home here this
afternoon regarding the action Of the
! Supreme Court of the United States in
refusing him a rehearing. said:
1T is not my time to talk
1t is said from an authoritative source
that he already has communicated with
his attorneys. asking that his term of i'm
prisonment begin at the earliest possible
moment.
| Some time ago BTr. Burton caused an
| official statement to be made by his at
torney that If the Supreme Court denied
him a Tehearing he would neither apply
for pardon nor accept one If it were
granted Mr.. Burton received news OF
| the courts action in the same calm
manner he has shown in each step of his
case.

How a Famous Hymn was Born

A pathetic and yet charming story
is told of the origin of the well
known hymn, "Blest Be the Tie That
Binds" which was written by the
Rev. John Fawcett, an English Bap.
fist, who died In 1917, having spent
nearly sixty years. in the ministry.
II was In 1772, after few years
spent In pastoral work, that he was
called to London to succeed the
Rev. Dr.. Gill. His farewll sermon
had been preached near Moinsgate,
In Yorkshire. Six or seven wagons
stood loaded with his furniture and
books, and all was ready for depart
rre
But his people were heart-broken.
Men, women and children gathered
and chung about him and his FAM.
lily with sad and fearful faces.
Finally overwhelmed with the sorrow
of those they were leaving DR.. Faw-
Get; and his wife sat down upon one
of the packing cases and gave way to
grief.
"Oh, John" cried Mrs. Fawcett at
last, 81 cannot bear this! l know
not how to CO."
Nor either" returned her hus-
band "and we will not go. The wag-
ons shall be unloaded and every
thing put in It's old place"
His people were filed with intense
Joy and gratitude at this determi-
nation. DR.. Fawcett at once sent Il
letter to London explaining the case
and then resolutely returned to his
work on salary of less than 5000
n year.
This hymn was written by DIR.
Fawcett to commemorate the event.

elephant which was destroying a field

Then the king said that whenever he
