cution, in Abilene, kas., Speech.
Abilene, Kas., March 25.-Accusing
President Roosevelt Of inspiring the
prosecution which resulted in his i'm
prisonman ex-senator j. r. Burton
created a sensation in his address here
Saturday evening. He was released
from prison yesterday and came here
to make his first public statement.
He characterized the action against
him as unjust and cruel persecution"
maintained his innocence Of any wrong
doing and declared that his only otfense
was the misnterpretation Of statute.
Ex- Senator Burton began his speech
by referring to the three indictments
found against him. and the two con-
victions under them, saying that, while
the case was pending he tried to get
the senate to investigate the charges
against him, but 1t steadily refused to
do so, and 1t was about to expel him
without an investigation, when he re-
signed to avoid expulsion.
A great wrong. he said, had been
done not only to him, but to the peo-
pie of Kansas as WE'LL and to the people
OF the entire country. For the greatest
of all crimes against people, he said,
"is where executives ravish the law in
the temple of Justice, as they did in
my case"

REVOLT IS GROWING

Peasants Of Roumania and Army Re-
serve Mon Join With Mauraudors in
Pillasns Villages.

Bucharest, March 25.--That the re-
vIlted peasant of Roumania are
temporarily beyond control of the gov
ernment forces. Is amply evidenced by
stories of pillaging and incendiarism
coming in from all parts of Moldavia
and Wallachia. At Bacess, in the dis
trict of vaslui, 1000 peasants armed
with rifles and revolvers, attacked a
company OF soldiers. The troops fired
several voleys, killing forty peasants,
and wounding large numbers. but the
soldiers were so greatly outnumbered
that they were obliged to retreat.
at the village of Teleorman, Alexan-
dria district, Wallachia peasants sacked
the synagogue and burned forty
houses. The rioters also demolished
ana completely piilaged zimnica. an
other village in Alexandria district.
The army reserve men are fraterniz-
in,l with the mauraders, and partici-
pa ing in the work of plunder.
Thousands of peasants now surround
the little town of Rostori de vede, AL
exandria district, with the intention Of
locting it If favorable opportunity
arrives. The troops there are not
numerous enough to hold out indefinite-
ly. The total number of troops now
in Moldavia is $3.50, but large re-
in.,orcements are still required.
AT today's session of the chamber
of deputies and members suggested
to the government that energetic re-
prnssion was the only course suited to
the conditions in the disturbed regions.

used to spend his Sundays in Cedar
Falls, but more recently. he has not
gone up at all.
Shepard seemed to use his two
names indiscrimfnately. He said he
used the name Gregory when playing
ball because his parents objected to
his being in professional team. He
said he was once in school at Cornell,
N. Y, and commenced his career with
playing on the Buffalo, N. y, team.
Shepard played on the Webster City
team several years ago and has been
in various places over the country
since that time. He is said to have

Of the most important bills of the ses-
sion and have all passed the house
with big majorities. Within the last
day or two railroad attorneys, headed
by Jim Davis, of the Northwestern,
have passed the word around quietly to
their friends that the senate committee
will kill the bills. lncensed by this re-
port, the house members have drawn
up a series of resolutions calling the
attention Of the senate to the fact that
these bills have been in the hands of
the senate committee for many days and
are of vast Importance to the people,
and protesting against further delay.
These resolutions are in the hands OF
one Of the house members and II Is the
intention to introduce them this after
noon. II is understood that the only
bill which the senate committee will
report for passage is the joint rate
bill, which has been amended SO that
1t Is not Objectionable to the railroads.
The senate today refused to concur
in the house amendments, to the pri-
mary and a conference committee will
make final examination of the bills.
The following bills were passed:
