NEWEST STYLE SNAKE STORY
Rings in a Cat Whose Favorite Amuse-
ment Is to Find and Kill the
Early Spring Serpent.


Greensburg, Ind, March %. = Re-
ports from the forks of Flatironk creek
indicate that Indiana has got EN-
The fact that Friday was the official
spring opening was taken advantage
of by the snakes to display them
selves, and they crawled out of their
winter hiding places In the rocks along
the banks of the streams. The dis
play included only the varieties known
to this part of the state, now new
to this part of the state, no new
styles being shown.
1t was cat, owned by Mrs. Adolf
plus Frazier, of this city, that first
discovered the display of reptiles. This
cat. instead of hunting rats and mice,
has liking for snakes, and its hunt
ing ground is a creek, near the Frazier
home. 1t found the hunting good.
When it sees a snake it springs iAro
the air and alights with claws out
spread on the back of the reptile. De
spite the frantic lashing Of the snake
the cat retains its hold until its claws
have sunk into a vital spot, and the
battle Is over. The cat then walks
away, seemingly we'll satisfied.

ATTACKS A SUPREME JUDGE
Also Says That Presidential Politics
Was Involved in His Case.

The senator asserted that testimony
had been shaded against him at his
trial and declared that every federal
official and government employe who
acted III the prosecution or testified
against him had since been rewarded
by promotion in rank or pay, or both.
He made q yelled attack on Justice
Harlan, of the supreme court, when he
said the Justices first opinion was in
his favor, but that later he rendered
a verdict against him, and that soon
afterwards James Harlan, his son,
was made an interstate commerce COM
missioner
The head and front of his offending,
he said, was his attitude on the Cuban
reciprocity bill, which he charged was
the child of the sugar trust, designed
to throttle the beet sugar industry in
The United States by reducing the tar
if on sugar from Cuba. He said
Elihu Root, then secretary of war;
General Leonard Wood, and Prest-
dent Roosevelt deliberately lent them
selves to the furtherance of the sugar
trusts scheme and that from the day
he fought with all his strength in tho
senate committee room he was marked
for slaughter by the trust.
He charged the president with being
influenced by the hope that the sugar
interests Of the United States would
bring about his nomination in 1901,
and throw over Mark Hanna, who then
was believed to be grooming for the
presidency. Burton dwelt at great
length on this phase Of his address,
and cited other matter wherein he said
his politics had displeased the exeeu-
tive to such an extent that the presi-
dent allowed his judgment to be swept
aside by his desire to avenge himself
upon a man who offended him, and
to resort to undetermined methods TO
insure his conviction.
Burton closed his speech with the
declaration that he cherished no malice
toward those he termed his ''persecu-
tors" and said he would begin life
over again in Abilene, at the same
point that he did twenty eight years
ago. satisfied IN his own innocence
and confident that his townspeople,
who knew him best, did not believe
him a criminal.

about 900 persons, was packed TO is

was greeted by an outburst of ap-

interrupted by applause. The ex-sena-

once he broke down entirely and wept.

How He Views the Law.

He said the charge against him,
laying aside legal verbiage, was that
he had been hired in a lawsuit, being
at the time d United States senator. He
argued that the law enacted In 1864.
which he was convicted of violating,
had been construed By ADLER lawyers
than he was to mean that no congress
man should represent a client in an ac-
ton where In the government had any
financial interest, and said that in 9TH
er cases, where funds Of the govern
1nent were not involved, it had been
uniformly permitted. He said Roscoe
Conkllng; the late Representative
Heard, of Tennessee; J. G. Carlisle,
and once senator, now federal judge,
Pritchard had done as he did and were
net accused of crime.
