SENATOR BURTON CONVICTED.
Jiuy Returns Verdict of Guilty on All
Six Counts In Indlctment3.
St. Lotiifc, Nov. 27. United States
Senator J. Ralph Hurtou of Kansas,
convicted In the federal circuit court
011 an indictment charging thai ho
agreed to receive and did receive com
pensation for practicing us an attor
ney for a corpoiutlon before the post
ofllco department, will be called buforo
Judge Vandevanter today to receive
sentence. The maximum penally for
the offoiiBe Is imprisonment for two
years and a line ol $ln,uuo on each of
the six counts on which Senator Hur
ton was found guilty.
Senator llnrton's attorneys stated
that they would Immediately nsk for
u new trial. It Is practically certain
that Judge Vamlcviinter will overrulo
the motion, and then 11 notice of ap
peal will be filed.
Neither Fiedorlck II. Lchmaun of.
St. IxntlB nor W. K. Hayncs or Chi-,
cago, counsel for Senator Hurton,
would state tho grounds upon which
tho appeal will bo based. There Is
little doubt, however, that It will bo
contended tho trial court erred In
' denying Mr. Lohmnnu's motion to dla-,
miss the entire Indictment on grounds
I of lack of Jurisdiction in regard to the
, counts charging that Senator Hurton
agreed to receive compensation for
acting as an attorney beforo tho post-'
ofllco department, and that It wsa not
shown in tho evidence adduced by tho
government that Senator Hurton ever
received cnni cumiIIoii for performing
any such services.
It Is also probable that tho bill ot
exceptions will contain reference to
tho cross-exanilnatlon of Senator Hur
ton upon certain matters which wero
not referred to In the examination m
chier.
Senator Hurton Is at tho Southern
hotel. Ho denied himself to visitors
and refused requests for either an In
tervlew or written statement. Thero
was a conference between tho senator
and his attorneys.

to him his troubles, saying he did not
know what he should do. They wero

looking.
"Do you know," asked Wesley, "why
thnt cow looks over that wall?"
"No," replied the one In trouble.
"I will tell you," said Wesley. "Bo

that Is whnt you must do with your
