REPLY TO BURTON BRIEF.
The ConstitutionaIity of Statute Urged
by Federal Counsel.

Washington. April 1s.-The government
has. filed another brief in the Burton case
It was prepared by Charles H. Robb. as
sistant attorney general and is a reply
to the brief of Bale P. Wagner. IN which
he commended that the statute under which
Senator Burton was indicted is unconsti-
tutional and that the only agent compe-
tent to try senator is the senate Itself
In his brief Mr.. RObb says:
Section 1882. revised statutes is not in-
tended to interfere with the constitution
al rights and duties of members of con-
gress. but to prevent members Of the leg
islative branch of the government among
others, holding relations of trust and con-
hdence with the United States, from in
terfering with the executive branch in the
performance of its duties.
Members of congress have no absolute
right, because Of their official position,
to appear before any executive depart
ment or bureau of the government for the
purpose of influencing Official action. much
less to appear for hire against the govern
ment in relation to a matter in which the
United States is interested. Their rights
in the premises are in the law only that
pertains to them as private persons. and
congress could. if it saw At, forbid any
individual whatsoever from appearing for
hire before any department of the govern
ment in such a case in order to secure a
better administration of its affairs.

statement concerning the anonymous
letter which has been circulated from
some source roasting w. ]. Fitzgerald,
Judge C1ark's opponent:
ITO the public:
Il arrived in Topeka last evening and
was Immediately shown an anonymous
typewriter letter rejecting upon the
character of my opponent for lieutenant
governor I was informed that this let
ter was being sent out from Topeka to
the delegates to the state convention.
at once denounced the affair as dirty
business, and that I knew nothing what
ever about tit, saying that ] had no rea-
son to believe that Mr.. Fitzgerald was
anything but an honest gentleman. L
have made such inquiry as l could
among my friends to learn anything
about it. It is a letter that can do me
no good and if it was written by
friend of mine I am sure he has commit
ted a grave mistake so far as my IN
terests are concerned On the other
hand, if it was written by an enemy OF
mine. he may have accomplished his
purpose by creating opposl lion to ne
because of the general desire Tor clean
Dolftiets. but it is a dirty piece of politt-
ra1 devtltrv whose author ought to be
exposed. If I can't win this nomlna-
ton honorably. and with the eonduc9
and behavior of a gentleman, ooh
want it.
IT have to this time RETAINED from
writing for publication anything ABOUT

Jones was transferred from a police

sober and, for the time at least, con-
trite and eager to start life anew.
Jones efforts to satisfy his parole
by drinking himself to death have
continued since March when Judge

I'll put you in jail and keep you there"
Next day Jones. furnished by some
influential friends with transportation

him over two months, left the city

mother whose prayers as he peered
through the bars Of the cell yesterday
still rang in his ears.

Ignored.

to give fair play. This is how the,
did it. The call for bids specified tina,

On August all bids were in ex-

open them, but gave the Tribune ano-
ther chance. Still that paper did not

received were opened. read in public
meeting at which a representative OF
the Tribune was present, and referred
to the finance committee.
After the Tribune had heard the
other bids and knew the price called
for 1t consented to bid. The council
in it's absolute fairness saw fit to al
low the Tribune this small advantage
and last night opened the Tribune bid
and gave 1t consideration.
In looking over the council how
ever, the Tribune found that 1t had
friends enough to carry it through,
and did not even deem 1t necessary
to meet the Teller's bid The bid re-
cited that the Tribune already knew
what the Teller had bid, but regarded
the work worth more and asked for
more. Instead of cutting their former
price of 10 cents per line down to s
cents for the first insertion and 8
for the second as the Teller bid they
only cut to s cents straight and
trusted their supporters on the coun-
Gil to handle the rest for them.
