TELLING YOUR BOSS

THE man who hires you thinks he
knows how to run his business. He
may be wrong. but that Is what he
thinks.
Also he believes he knows what he
wants you to do. Again he may be In
error. but such. notwithstanding. Is his
belief.
1t may be easy for you to tell the
boss where he Is mistaken In many
things, but don't do II.
II may hurt his feelings In the first
place. and It may hurt his opinion Of
you In the second place.
For most men who have risen to a
position which enables them to hire
other men have very strong belief In
themselves. And they naturally win
think more OF men who agree with
them than Of men who differ.
We sometimes hear young men In
fits Of anger telling the boss where he
gets or" although not as often as we
hear them say that this is what they
do.
But we never saw one who gained
any advantage by II.
II you are right about a thing, and
know you are right. II Is very well TO
prove it-provided II viii do the busl-
ness any good.
But unless you can save your en-
ployer lot Of money by showing him
that he is wrong. you'd better refrain
from doing so.
Men don't like to be put in the
wrong. and they like still less to be
proved In the wrong. And bosses, like
the rest of US. are only men, after all,
with mems weaknesses and failings.
II you're hired as a consultant, you
are selling your opinion, and can give
II with immunity. But II you are hired
as an assistant charged with carrying
out orders. II will do you no harm to
carry out orders exactly as given--no
harm at all.
Carry them out as well as you can.
asking only such questions as are nee
essary, and believing that to Gerry
them out Is just at that time the most
important thing In the world
II you will do that repeatedly the
boss will have to promote you.
whether he wants to or not. because II
he doesn't somebody else win find out
ebout you and hire you.
With hundreds Of people hunting for
exceptionally competent men nobody
can hide you. But II you begin by
showing the boss how much better you
fan run the business than he can, you
win never have chance to prove your
confidence. for you never viii be given
anything important to do.

FOR $500 JEWELRY
Wife of Millionaire Candy Maker
of Milwaukee Victim of Church
Thief, Belief.

Mrs. Harry S. Johnston, wife of a
millionaire manufacturer of choco-
lates and candy of Milwaukee. Wis,
appealed to the police yesterday to
aid in locating $4,000 worth of Jew
elry which she believes was taken
from her while she was attending
mass at st. Matthew'S Catholic
Church on Rhode Island avenue near
18th street last Thursday morning.
Detectives Richard Manifold and b.
w. Thompson of headquarters are in
vestigating the case. Mrs. Johnston,
who came here with Mrs. w. H. Tun-
iin to spend the Easter holidays with
their daughters, who are students at
the Georgetown Convent of the Visi-
tation, did not discover the loss until
Friday night, and did not report il
to the police until last night.
Includes String of Pearls.

pearls, rings, bar pins and earrings.
The pearls alone are worth $1,000.
On Thureday morning Mrs. Johnston,
attending mass, noticed a. suspicious
looking person in a pew nearby, she
told police at the third precinct She
bases her belief that the loss took
place at that place on this incident,
but detectives working on the case
are developing the theory that it
could have occurred at any time
during the period between Thursday
morning and Friday night
Attending mass with Mrs. Johnston
were her daughter, Miss Jeanette
Johnston, Mrs. Tunlin and Miss Tun-
lin.
Police were furnished with COM
plete description of the 'jewelry.- Mrs.

Wheeler Indictment Recalls Case
Of Burton, Who Vas Found Guilty
Senator From Kansas, Who Died Recently, Vas
Convicted IN RiaItO Securities Suit During
ROOseUeL's administration.

The indictment of Senator Burton K.
Wheeler of Montana, Democrat, in Mon
tana on charges that he had violated the
law which prohibits a member of Con-
gress or any other official of the gov
ernment from appearing in any proceed
ing before q. government department or
elsewhere on behalf of a client who has
claim of any kind against the govern
ment, calls to mind the case of Senator
j. Ralph Burton of Kansas, who was
indicted, sentenced and served a term
in Jail for the violation of this statute
back in 1906 and 1907. A special COM
mittee of the Senate is now conducting
an investigation into the indictment of
senator Wheeler, who charges that he
was framed by his enemies. including
former Attorney General Daugherty,
because OF his. Wheeler's, activities in
bringing about an investigation of
Daugherty and the Department of JUS
tice.
Senator Burton was a Republican, and
entered the Senate in 1901. There was
concern called the Rialto Grain and
Securities Company, against which a
fraud order had been issued. Senator
Burton appeared before the Post Office
Department and succeeded in having the
fraud order against the company lifted.
IT happened that Joseph w. Folk,
later Governor of Missouri was cir
cult attorney in st. Louis at that
time, and the data relating to the
Rialto Grain and Securities Company
came to his attention. He saw that
it involved a United States senator
and that Senator Burton apparently
had violated the gtatute. William
Allen White was a friend of Mr.. Folk.
and the latter took the matter uD
with Mr.. Write. who in turn went to
the White House and saw President
Roosevelt in regard to the case. 1t
was then the wheels began to turn
rapidly.
Burton Was Indicted.
The upshot of the matter was that
Senator Burton was indicted by a
federal grand jury in st. Louis. Mo.
Senator Burton'S contention was that
in appearing before the Post Office
Department on behalf of the Rialto
company he had been acting mel rely
as IN attorney and that he had not
used his influence as a senator OF the
United States to have the fraud order
against his company lifted. The jury
before which he was tried, however.
took n different view of the case. He
was found guilty.

QUARANTINE RATED o. 4.
Wallace Says Western States Are
Needlessly Alarmed.

Quarantine measures of the federal
government to prevent spread of the
foot -and-mouth disease among cattle
in California and to adjoining states
are ample to meet the present situa-
lion there and to protect the interests
of all concerned, Secretary Wallace
declared yesterday.
It was unfortunate, the Secretary
said, that the authorities of certain
western states have thought it neces-
sary to place drastic restrictions on
the movement from California of
commodities, which never have been
known to carry infection. Such ac-
ton in some instances, he added, re-
suited in great inconvenience without
contributing to the safety OF these
states.
The federal quarantine of the infect
ed area and the adjoining territory
was based on thirty years expert
ence with the disease and the regula-
lions were drafted to meet every con-
tingency, Mr.. Wallace said.
$50 Herds Destroyed.
In suppressing the outbreak in
California federal and state author
tiles, working in cooperation, have
Slaughtered $50 herds OF cattle. leav-
ing eighteen herds and one exposed
herd still to be destroyed, DR.. John

eases, he added, appeared to be under
good control in the following coun-
ties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano.

Senator Burton then appealed to
the Supreme Court OF the United
States and that court ordered a re-
hearing of the case in the lower
and a second time he was found
guilty. He was sentenced to serve
six months in jail and to pay fine of
$4,000. This was the amount of the
way, from the Ria1to Company for
appearing as its counsel before the
department.
Senator Burton served his six
months term in jail in Missouri and
then returned to Kansas. He threw
on his allegiance to the Republican
party and announced himself Demo-
crat He attributed his troubles and
his Jail term to President Roosevelt.
senator Bailey's Warning.
After his first trial. in which he
was found guilty, Senator Burton was
warned by Senator Bailey of Texas
that if he ever came on the floor of
the Senate Senator Bailey would en-
ter a motion to have him expelled
from the Senate. It happened at that
time that one of the statehood bills
was up for consideration and the vote
of Senator Burton was needed. But
he remained off the floor, except for
one single occasion.
The session had begun and he
wanted to collect his mileage, to
which all members Of Congress are
entitled for the expense of their
journey to Washington. But this
cannot be collected unless the SEN
ator or representative has appeared
at least once on the floor of the
Senate. Through arrangement with
the presiding officer Senator Burton
one day entered the senate chamber
through a door in the lobby, passed
quickly by the Vice Presidents desk
and out into the lobby again through
another door. His appearance was
noted officially, however, and he was
able to collect his mileage. He finally
resigned from the Senate.
Tried to Practice Law.
When Senator Burton returned to
Kansas after serving his term in
Jail he tried to practice law, but with
little success. He then started a week
ly newspaper with socialistic leanlngs.
Recently he died.
The statute under which Senator
Burton was indicted and convicted,
and under which Senator Wheeler
has now been indicted, was enacted
in civil war days to prevent MEM
bers of Congress and government Of
ficials from obtaining big fees from
claimants who had cases in the gov
ernment departments.
