the door and his wrists handcuffed
on the outer side. Inmates were so

BRlsT0W 10 LEGISLATURE
NEW KANSAS SENATOR AssAiLs
HARTMAN METHODS.
Declared Flnanciers Who Engineered
Alton Deal Should DO Imprisoned
Are Financial eandlttl.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 2S.-In accepting
the United States senatorship from
Kansas, formally voted to him by the
legislature Wednesday, Joseph L.
Bristow, assailed the methods used by
d. H. Hartman and his associates in
the Alton case As criminal" and de-
clared "the men who are guilty Of
such high-handed operations should
face imprisonment for their crimes"
To correct laws which permit such
evils, Mr.. Bristow declared, would be
one Of the ends to which he would
work IN the senate.
After going into the details Of the
methods used in the case by either
Hartman, Mortimer L, 6chiff, George
J. Gould and James Stillman, he de-
cIared
"The laws Of our country should re.
gard the financial methods employed
in the Alton case as criminal and the
men who are guilty Of such high
handed operations should face Inn
prisonment for their crimes. Yet,
today, these captains Of high finance
are making a determined effort to
prevent the enactment Of legislation
that will take from them their oppor'
tunities for plumber, and to do this
they buy or subsidize newspapers, en-
ploy able attorneys to look after their
political interests and by false repre-
sentation try to organize their en-
ployes into political associations that
will be obedient to their demands.
They seek to destroy every man In
public life who Is not subservient to
their wishes. They are especially In
terested in the control Of the United
States senate and the federal judi
ciary. Probably more interested in
the senate because through It they
have frequently been able to control
the selection Of federal judges. 1t is
my purpose to use what talents may
have to bring about legislation that
will establish the same rules of JUS
tice for these financial banditti that
applies to the conduct Of men in the
ordinary walks of life. 1t should be
just as easy to send man to prison
who loots railroad Of $10,O0O,OOO or
$50 900 900 as it is the man who bur
Elarizes bank or robs postoftice."
