JAIL FOR SENATOR BURTON.
The Supreme Court Of UnitedStates
Decides Against Senator Bur-
ton of Kansas.

Washington, May 22.-If Sena-
tor Burton does not resign Sat once"
as prominent senator put it, res
dlution will be introduced to declare
his seat vacant. =.
Washington, May 22.-Thc United
States supreme court has rendered n
decision in the case of United States
Senator John Ralph Burton of Kan
sas. The decision was against Bur-
ton, affirming the decision Of the
United States circuit court for the
eastern district Of Missouri, by which
Burton was sentenced to nine
months imprisonment in the Jail Of
Iron county, Missouri required to
pay fine of $4,000 and deprived of
the right to hereafter hold office un-
der the government.
The opinion was made by Justice
Harlan. All of the points made in
Burton's interest were oycrrulcd.
Senator Burton was indicted for
violating the section Of the Revised
Statutes which prohibits senator's and
representatives from receiving COM
pensation for services rendered be-
fore any of the departments at Wash
ington in which the government may
be interested.
Charge Against Burton.
He was 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 issu-
ance of an order by the postmaster
general prohibiting the use of the
mails to the company.
This was Senator Burton's second
appeal to the supreme court. Justices
Brewer. White and Pcckham united
in dissenting opinion. Their opin-
ion was based on the theory that the
United States was not legally inter-
eStcd in the ease against the Rialto
company, by which Burton was en-
plnvcd as counsel.
Immediately after pr"mulEatinE
its decision in the Burton case, the
supreme court of the United States
granted motion to give sixty days
to Senator Burton in which to pre-
pare Il petition for rehearing. The
action will have the effect Of taking
the ease over until the next term Of
court, beginning in October, as the
present term will expire next Mon
day.
Burton Refuses to Talk.
The sentence of Senator Burton
was in two parts. as he was convict
ed on two counts of the Indictment.
One was six months in Jail and fine
of $4,000, and the other three months
in Jail and $500 fine, aggregating nine
months in Jail and fine of $4,000.
To the newspaper men who called to
see him, Senator Burton said:
81 shall adhere to my original pol
icy of saying nothing until my case
is finally determined.
He would not say in reply to II
question that he intended to take
further legal steps but from the fact
that he does not regard his case az
finally decided in view of the sixty
days granted for rehearing, it is
inferred that he will do so.

HUNTED TO DESERT.
Campaign of No Quarter In German
Southwest Africa.
(Berlin Dispatch.)

(Berlin DispatCh.)
The official report of the govern
ment concerning the report of the
war against the native rebels in Ger
man Southwest Africa contains ap-
palling details OF the campaign of
determination which has been carried
on by the German commander there
in revenge for the various reverses
that the German forces encountered
In the earlier days of the campaign
against the blacks.
In the initial campaign the rebels
numbered 10000 men, and outnum-
bered greatly the Germans sent
them. So soon as the Germans
forces were able to assume the Of
fensiye campaign OF mo quarter"
was inaugurated and carried
through, Death was the portion OF
all rebels, and the German forces
were so disposed that their enemies
were soon driven into the desert
whore they perishod by the thou
sands OF hunger and thirst.
An immense area OF the arid land
is now strewn with thousands OF
rotting eorpses and bones from
which the flesh has been deyoured by
birds and beast.
The terror-strioken fugitlves dug
holes In the desert to depth OF 60
feet, using their hands, being with.
out tools, in the vain hope OF finding
water. After hours and days OF des-
perate dlgging, which finally proved
futile, they laid down and died In
the wallows which they had created
by their own efforts.
II Is estimated that 40. goo natives
persisted In the desert. OF whom
many were aged men. women and
children. The campaign Is declared
To have been without parallel In
point OF ferocity In recent years, and
Is likely TO prove strong weapon
for the Socialists at the next meet.
