CONVICT SENATOR
BURTON AGAIN RICH

Topeka.-When j. r. Burton, for
mer United States senator from Kan
sas, who served a term in the Iron
county, Missouri, Jail, for practicing
before a federal department was re-
leased from the Jail he still had hang
ing over him a fine of $25O0. No ef-
fort was made by the government at
that time to collect the fine. In fact,
1t could not be collected because Of
technical error in the commitment
papers. But this error could be cor
rected If the government so desired.
But Burton was as poor as the pro-
verbal church mouse at that time. He
had talked himself into several for
tunes and had lost them all. His trial
in the courts for the violation of the
federal statute that prohibited a Uni
ted States senator practicing before
a federal department cost a lot of
money.
But since last fall Burton has been
getting rich again. 1t is said that he
is now accommodating his fourth for
tune. Burton had a large number
of comparatively rich Kansas friends
who knew of his financial condition.
Some of his friends took him in on
some Texas land deals, and accord
ing to the last information Burton
stands to profit close to 100000 with
in the next year or two through these
land speculations.

PHEASANT
is LURED TO DEATH

A native pheasant flying over the
west side just after noon today, saw
what he thought was grove of cool
and waving palm trees, bordered by
choice fruits lying about in reckless
abandonment and changed its course
the grove Of palms was the other side
of a plate glass window, the pheasant
went full speed ahead, banged its
head against the glass and fell dead.
simultaneously three small boys
who were drinking soda inside The
Palm confectionery parlors, run by
n. j. Carpenter, dropped their glass
es with a bang and ducked. Mr.. Car
penter himself thought he had been
"blackhanded," and also ducked.
Later he investigated, and found a
choice native pheasant, weighing a
pound and a half, had presented it,
self to him for supper
Carpenter will have the bird stuffed
and will place 1t in the window, in the
hope that 1t and the palm trees be-
hind will attract yet other pheasants
for he Is fond of game. The only
thing that is worrying him is that he
has dead game in his possession, and
that he has no hunters license. How
ever. he thinks he can explain 1t. The
window was not damaged by the bird
in flight.-Yakima Republic.

ANOTHER MODERN
EUTOPIA IS PLANNED

A large colonization project is be-
ing promoted by DIR. Marcel Pietrzy-
cki, wealthy philanthropist Of Day
ten, Wash, who proposes to establish
cooperative agricultural and indus
trial colony at Lubla farm, near Star
buck. The ranch consists OF over TO-
900 acres OF agricultural. timber and
pasture land and is ideally located for
a colony Of this kind.
Early in September DIR. Pietrzych
will select about Is applicants from
among the number interested in Sc
curing the land and the colony will be
Incorporated at Dayton under the state
laws. 1t is planned to increase the
colony to 30 or 40 families in a short
time.
Said DR.. Pletrzycki: "None Of the
land IS for sale, but the colonists VIII
lease the land, paying for 1t with the
crops produced. Two options are Of
fered, one to commute the rental on
fair estimate, thereby saving to the
colony the increased revenue which
will naturally result from more In
tensive cultivation, and the other to
purchase the colony land on long
installment plan of 25 years.
II propose to furnish stock, seed
and machinery with which to produce
the crop"
Applicants for land must be under
so years of age. the colony will re-
auire farmers, stockmen, hOrticultur-
lists. carpenters and machinists. All
who are financially able will contrib
ute 5000 to the working capital of the
colony.
The idea of the doctor is to supply
homes for deserving families who are
willing to work on the cooperative
plan. DR.. Pietrzyski recently returned
from Europe, where he made an ex-
haustive study of cooperative colo
nies as they are carried on there. His
present plan is considered a broad
one, and he hopes to see the establish
ment Of cooperative colonies in vari-
Gus parts Of this country. He is
close student OF social and economic
conditions in this country and abroad.

BIG GRIZZLY ROUTS
CREW AND EATS MEAL

Summit, Mont.-Just as the Great
Northern section men here were sit
ting down to their evening meal yes
terday large silver tip grizzly bear
dropped around informally and an
nounced his presence by scratching
at the front door or the house. Pc
ter Mehass, section foreman. opened
the door, and. before he could re-
cover from his amazement, Bruin
struck him on the left shoulder with
a huge paw and knocked him the
length of the room. Instantly there
was a general exodus OF Greek labor
ers through the rear windows Of the
shack
After putting the enemy to flight,
the bear turned his attention to the
supper table, and was calmly helping
himself to large plate of fried ham,
when William Morris, trapper, at
tracted by the frightened cries Of the
Greeks, appeared on the scene and
with a shot from his Winchester end
ed Bruins career. The bear weighed
nearly 700 pounds.
Mehass' wounds we're dressed by
a local physician, who found 1t ne
cessary to take 63 stitches in three
wounds caused by the bears claws.

PRESIDENT CAN NOT
MILK A COW

Mllwaukee.-In his fair grounds
speech the president devoted most Of
his time to the subject of postal saw
ings banks and aroused a quick re-
sponse of applause when he declared
that he stood firm for a redemption
of the promise OF the republican plat
form for the establishment of such
system OF banks.
AS a premilinary to his more Sc
rious remarks, the president said he
always felt at loss in facing an au-
dience of farmers.
II am city bred" he went on, "and
while the spirit is willing, l must ad-
nit that l can not milk a cow"
The president said he did not want
to antagonize the bankers. but he did
not believe their opposition to postal
banks was fell founded. In some
parts of the country, especially New
England, where for every two citi-
zens there is one savings bank ac-
count, Mr.. Taft said, the need of pos
tai savings banks was not felt. In
other sections, where the savings ac-
counts amounted to only one in LIS
citizens, the need of encouragement to
thrift was acute.
Postal banks paying only ? per cent
interest would not attract depositors
from public banks which were pay
ing 3 70 per cent, but they would
attract the accounts or those people
who were wavering in the balance as
to whether or not they spend their
money for the want of knowledge Of
safe place to deposit it.
